Ascendance of a Bookworm, shoutout to [email protected]

I’ve never been one for reading. Even for books with movies I love, I always found reading books myself a chore.

But when I saw the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime, I wanted to know what was going to happen after the season ended. This lead me to the Manga, which was behind at the time, then the light novel.

The word is rich and it has a depth that isn’t daunting. The character you meet feel like they have their own lives, and the sheer number of side stories which isn’t about our main character is wonderful.

This was the series the made me get an eReader just for the books and the many spin offs. And I now preorder it to get the prerelease chapters to get my bookworm fix every mynesday.

The translation work is amazing the story is my cup of tea, and I will recommend it to those who want something new.
