Ascendance of a Bookworm

First time I see this volume cover, I'm a little disappointed. Ah, so my guess is true that Rozemyne won't be a zent. But, after reading the story, I'm really glad that the first disappointment is really short lived. I really like how Kazuki-sensei manage to solve the issues related to zent meanwhile giving a harsh lesson and harsh reality to the royal family (I don't really respect them in general although I can empathy with Eglantine and Adolphine - my view on them change after I read short story of the first in this volume and Adolphine's lil bro short story in previous volume). How the author resolved it? Please buy and read yourself (this is not paid promotion BTW). This volume is well written and meticulously arranged how the story can progress. I'm totally satisfied. I also worried that main story will cut short like prev. volume, but it's not. Great balance of 80/20 with 80% main story. I'm glad to see Hannelore perspective in extra story and Alexandria commoners.

I've really enjoyed this series. It's sad to see that it'll be over in just 2 more months. Only one more bookworm day to celebrate... Ah, but. I really liked the fishermen from the last epilogue. And of course it never gets old seeing Ferdinand and Myne boss around the royalty and gods, heheh.

For a penultimate volume this was one of the best books that I have ever read I cannot highly recommend reading it my only complain is that I wished they added a Charlotte side storie and one more related to the Sylvester well maybe they will be included in the last volume.
