Ascendance of a Bookworm ~I'll do anything to become a librarian!~ (本好きの下剋上 ~司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません~ Honzuki no Gekokujō ~Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen~) is a Japanese fantasy web novel series written by Miya Kazuki. It was serialized on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō, starting on the September 23, 2013 and ending on March 12, 2017. It was later licensed by TO Books, who have published a Light Novel with 28 volumes so far (November 2023). The English translation is handled by J-Novel Club which has published 21 volumes as of November 2023.
The author decided to write a spin-off which takes place after Part 5 of the web novel. It is written from Hannelore's point-of-view and takes place during her fifth year in the Royal Academy, hence the title Hannelore's 5th Year in the Royal Academy (ハンネローレの貴族院五年生, Han'nerōre no Kizoku-in Gonensei).
Furthermore, Miya Kazuki's Shōsetsuka ni Narō page includes activity reports, summaries, additional informations and more.
Synopsis
The story centers around Urano Motosu, a 22 year old Japanese woman, soon-to-be librarian who dies in an earthquake, being ironically crushed by the books she loves so much. Luckily, she gets reincarnated in another world as the daughter of a poor family named Myne. Unfortunately, books are scarce and only available to people of noble blood as books are expensive. Myne (retaining her memories from her previous life) decides to create and print her own books so that she can read again.
Chapters
If not specified differently, the point of view is from Myne and later Rozemyne.
