Synopsis
Urano Motosu's lifelong dream to become a librarian comes true. Luck is not on her side, however, as a plethora of books falls on her during an earthquake. On the verge of death, she begs God to be reborn surrounded by nothing but books.Edit
Her wish is fulfilled, albeit not how she expected: Urano is reincarnated as Myne—a sickly five-year-old child with an ardent desire to read—in another world where the upper class controls knowledge, and only the privileged have access to written works. As a commoner, Myne is distraught that she will never be able to find what she is yearning for.
To obtain books, Myne decides she should make them herself. Currently, she is but a kid thrust into an unknown place—but nothing will not stop Myne from achieving her goal.

Well-written
This novel cost me many almost sleepless nights. Each evening, I would plan to read a chapter of so before falling asleep. Each time, I would suddenly come to senses after finishing a volume and realizing it’s around 3 A.M.. I would not learn from this and I would do this mistake again and again. This should already speak tremendously about how catchy Ascendance of a Bookworm is.
Isekai is a genre that at this point feels like an overused old rag that is more likely to dirty the floor more than to clean it. Yet still, once in a while there is a gem that ...

**THIS IS A WEBNOVEL REVIEW**
Some background: Honzuki no Gekokujou is a web novel originally published in Japanese online for free. It was completed in 2017, but the Japanese light novel releases are ongoing, and the English official light novel translations are even further behind.

Seeing as the number is right there to the top-right, there is no point in putting it ...

I have no idea why this has as of this review, a high score. the pros are few and the cons are many.
Pros:
It's like a less boring documentary about paper, I guess.
and that's the pros, let's move on to the con.
Cons:
The protagonist behaves like a child despite being 20 years old. i think child is way to nice because even the other children in the story behave better than her. She doesn't really give a shit about her family despite them taking care of her and being extremely poor. the only thing you'll hear is moaning and complaining. She throws temper tantrums and is ...
