Light Novel

Hi everyone, I wondered if there might be a fanbook containing the stories of the Bible or so. I didn't find one so if that still doesn't exist, would anybody also wish for such an extra-book? I am really interested in all the stories the bible contains. Maybe also with the hidden pages and so on. 🥰

In P5V6 Pre-pub (4/8), it tells Rozemyne "brewing" a fey-paper. But as we know that Illgner feyplant (Nanseb and Effon) paper is made in a commoner method (that needs to boil the branch, peel the bark, etc).

Is there really a way for noble to create feyplant paper in a different manner than commoner method? Or does Rozemyne and the other 2 (Hartmut + Clarissa) create the paper in a way that commoner does inside Ferdinand's lab in his estate?

It's 5am and I haven't slept because I am again rereading Ascendance of a Bookworm, the English JNovel version of the light novels.

I'm the 4th arch already and this thought crossed my mind since I know what happens in the more current releases as well: could not Rozemyne take a mana enfused ruelle, grant it the god of darkness' bible version prayer blessing, and force feed it to a Lord of Winter to make it easier to kill it? The dark blessing's power is to sap mana and send that sapped mana to the god of darkness (either spell and prayer).

A ruelle with her mana super evolves a feybeast, and we know that killing a mana absorbing fey creature doesn't mandate using the dark blessing but just makes it easier. So why not just feed a fey creature a dark blessing ruelle? It seems like the perfect peanutbutter wrapped dog medicine trick to me. No?

So... if I understand this right, having mana has nothing to do with actually being a nobel or royalty, as everyone is born with mana; other than the fact that at some point in their time, those with a lot of mana decided to differentiate themselves from those with very little mana and forgot about the gods?

I'm under the current impression that anyone in this story, considered royal, nobel, or commoner, can ultimately become Zent, under the following thoughts:

1. Very early in the story we learn all humans have mana at birth.

2. That in LN 4-7 (Investigating the Bible) the bible states anyone can increase their mana by zealot prayer to the gods. In a distant 3rd,

3. That the starbind ceremony (and other prayers) provides a hint to mana increase by suggesting prayers be given to the gods in order to gain blessings.

4. That the Grushiet is actually had by the goddess Metsionora (this is not a spoiler as it has been stated through multiple light novels already).

This would mean even commoners can increase their mana capacities, and can also be a reason why some 'commoner' children are born with 'devouring' if their parents are constantly praying to a god or to the gods for their child to be born well. It could also be why even within the royal and noble castes they vary in mana amounts even within the tiered system, ie. Mednobles having high or low mana capacities.

Is this an actual thread within this story? I am starting to think that a part of the plot is how intellectual ignorance and ego has caused the downfall the country as a whole. Though I really would like this to be the case, I wonder if I'm out in left field here or not.

I dont know what you all think, but i was a bit dissapointed in the anime adaptation of the trombe incident. When reading the light novel, it seemed to me that Myne was trully being enveloped in the trombe and that pretty much only her face was left uncovered. It seemed to me that there was basically already a decent size tree around her in the novel, while in the anime there is only a small part of a tree growing that the knights should have been easily able to free Myne from.
