I’m not talking about how she is the adopted daughter and all that. But more so like dose he actually care about her as he would his own family, child, daughter, and sibling like Ferdinand. Cus in the anime it seems he treats her as more of a business partner/adviser/worker and not real family and is only protective because of her worth (more business and financial then familial). It’s not like how Benno treats her, both like a daughter and a business mentor, as she helps him gain money, while he is also helping her gain money while protecting her from bad business practices. So correct me if my interpretation of the anime is wrong, but what is their relationship?

Edit: also dose it ever improve and dose it ever get to the father-daughter relationship?

I've just finished reading the complete light novel adaption and I'm incredibly depressed about it.

Every morning I'd wake up excited to continue reading whichever volume I was on and now that it's done, I'm not sure what to do with myself lmao.

I purchased the Hannelore’s Fifth Year at the Royal Academy volume 1and 2 and hope that they can fill in a small amount while I get over my sadness of finishing the main series! 😂

You know the one that plays in the first season when Myne and Lutz enter the temple and we see a shot of the stairs with the statues of the Gods and this music plays? It also plays at the beginning of season 2 when Myne is pledging her priestess Oath. I think it also generally plays during some of the "holy" church scenes. There is a woman chanting and she is low-key popping off. I am trying to find this music but I couldn't find it in any ost compilation I could find on youtube or spotify. It would be very helpful if someone knew what that soundtrack is called.

So I'm currently reading the second spin-off series with Hannelore where Mine ends up in the past to save Ferdinand from disappearing. Does anyone know if we are going to get Mine's adventure of this in light novel form? Or are we only going to hear about it from Hannelore's perspective? Cause finding out that Ferdinand is disappearing from history and she has to go back in time to make sure he's not erased seems way more interesting than Hannelore's relationship issues? Not to say I'm not enjoying anything more I get from this series I do it's my favorite so I'm enjoying every little scrap thrown our way lol but at the same time Mine on a epic adventure to save Ferdinand is way more exciting than Hannelore trying to pick a suitor. Lol

u/quof is the best translator I've read the works of. Has anyone here tried reading the Official Re:Zero Light Novels!? They're a non-flowing mess.

Thank you for having such high standards for your work. We all greatly appreciate it.

Hello everyone, I've been reading this series for a bit now, and I'm finally to the point where I am about to finish. I'm halfway through Part 5 v11. It saddens me that after I finish v11 & v12 I'll be done, except for the fanbooks. I've got to read the last fanbook still.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what series I can read next? I'm looking for something that has the same depth, preferably fantasy. I've thought about apothecary diaries, but I'd like something that is finished or almost finished, so I can just read through until the end.

I've also read Jobless Reincarnation (LN), Shield Hero (LN), and Goblin Slayer (LN).

Jobless Reincarnation WAS my favorite book series, but Ascendance of a bookworm took the lead by leaps and bounds.

Now this is something I’ve been noticing for most of part 5. However it’s become increasingly apparent as of late (P5V11) , but Rozemyne and Ferdinand have quite the storied history, especially with their fates being inseparable atp essentially.

Which leads me to my point. If Elvira were to ever (somehow) discover the full extent of Rozemyne’s and Ferdinand’s escapades together and all of their “moments”. She would write the best and most popular romance to ever grace Yurgenschmidt

With some tweaking of the more “crude” and scandalous parts she could create a Romeo and Juliet level cultural masterpiece among noblewomen. A true Yurgenschmidt Times Best Seller. It helps too that the person involved is her own daughter and male idol. It would genuinely be insane (if Ferdinand ever lets it see the light of day)

There's a LOT of blessings throughout the series and while some appear to be rather self-evident, some are just never explained at all and I am confused as to what I am supposed to believe they do exactly?

Season 2/Part 2 spoilers - >!The first blessing we see is one from Angrif the god of war, and it's obvious that it is meant to increase combat power in some aspect. What it does exactly is not quite clear, but it seems like it increases the power of mana attacks in particular or just makes the person stronger in general.!<

Season 3/Part 3 spoilers - >!Now here's the big one, the 7 gods blessing Myne gives to everyone close to her. It's one of the most confusing ones, because clearly it's meant to be a blessing from all seven gods, and we see healing with Gunther and Effa, which would be under Fluhtrane so that much is obvious, but what about the other 6? Damuel gets an extended growth period for his mana capacity, which is cool and all, but which god is responsible for that one and why is he the only one who got that? Ferdinand was blessed too, but it's never mentioned that he god another growth period and obviously the rest of Myne's family who have no mana didn't get any mana so clearly they didn't benefit from that aspect...speaking of which, what did Lutz or Tuuli get? They were not injured so no healing, they have no mana so what did it do exactly?!<

>!Then ofc she becomes High Bishop and blesses commoners during baptisms, coming of age and starbind ceremonies...what do those blessings do? It'd never expanded upon if they do anything at all. Like, if Angriff gives a temporary combat buff, what kind of buff would a marriage blessing give?!<

>!And of course she also can use both Fluhtrane and Heilschmertz's blessings to directly heal people, which is very obvious and self-explanatory.!<

Part 4 spoilers - >!Then there's the really big blessing that Eglantine receives when Myne is wishing for her happiness...everyone is so shocked by it and they claim it came from the gods bc they don't know Myne gave it, but really, what does it do if anything? Does t actually make Eglantine happy like it's an anti-depressant or what?!<

Part 5 spoilers - >!We know she does get pregnant out of nowhere so maybe it had something to do with that, but I am quite confused on the specifics...!<

>!Of course there's also the joint research into blessings and some are explained there, the Dunkelfelger blessing increases both strength and speed due to Angrif and Steifebrise respectively, so that one is very well explained, and ofc we get a direct blessing from Anwachs that makes Rozemyne grow up, which makes sense too, though could Rozemyne use that blessing on someone else to make them grow taller? Obviously not instantly, she's not a god contrary to what Hartmut would say, but still I wonder if it works like that or not...!<

>!​!<On a okayish Sunday morning I have absolutely nothing to do. My exams have all passed and I have virtually no revision to do. So what's a man to do well reread all off ascendance of a bookworm was an option that I had thought about. And upon thinking about the series again I was reminded of how I found the series and also the reason why I decided to stick with it. So for context now. Long long ago (covid time-ish) I became an anime fan but not just any anime fan nope. I became a harem loving isekai trash man. (No joke my first anime was fruits of grisaia. A harem anime) I watched many a series devouring them in all the free time I had. But one day I stopped. In my attempt to consume trash I had inevitably become poisoned gasp. I couldn't look at isekai anime again or any anime as I grew to understand the formula's and cliches built within the genre and became incredibly bored of anime. Many older anime fans would call people like me who came during covid, tourists but if you're saying that then you have no idea how much free time a kid with no school and no homework has on his time. Well that and it's been 6 years but moving on. One day I was bored (I know what a surprise) and I decided hmmm why don't I watch some anime again maybe I'll find something interesting so I scrolled through Crunchyroll and I saw it. Ascendance of a bookworm and I am not joking when I say that the only reason why I decided to stick with the anime that day was not because of the concept, the characters looking interesting or anything like that nope... It was because the anime only had three words in it's title that's why I decided to watch the anime. It was in fact for this reason that I decided to stick with the anime until I eventually fell in love with it because the title subverted the expectations of what an isekai title should be. I mean that especially because I didn't fully enjoy the first season except for select parts of the story as I felt it was quite slow paced same with season 2 and season 3 in fact I may have dropped it if I had known that I had already watched the first season because while I acknowledged the worldbuilding was good and the characters were too it didn't feel gripping enough of a story the only reason why I kept watching was due to how Crunchyroll had done ordered the anime. They hadn't separated the anime into it's three seasons it was all in one section so I actually didn't know that bookworm had three seasons and just thought that maybe it was a anime like one piece that came out yearly or something (don't ask me why I thought that I was a dumb kid who assumed many things about the world) so I thought that all 30 something ep were actually one season. It was only in the final moments of s3 when everything came together and we got the ending did I know that I had to revisit the series at some point. So that's what I did at some point I eventually got a phone and bought the series on the apple app finishing off the entire thing although I haven't read the spinoff yet.

So yeah there we go that's how I got into the series and why I decided to stick with it and if you read the question at the top which you had to why did you decide to read or watch the series and why did you decide to stick with it?

Btw - For anyone wondering how the exams went. I failed all of them all because and no I am not joking I spent all the time I should have been revising reading the light novels. Literally the only reason my teachers decided to keep me in the courses is because I am a nice quiet student who doesn't cause them headache otherwise my future would've been cooked long ago. Hopefully things go better next year.

Getting locked into a job you hate really sucks. And it is worse if the nature of the job cuts off any avenue for improvement or upward mobility. Being a noble's retainer in Yurgenschmidt is not for sissies or the faint of heart.

Wilfred's retainers come to mind. Veronica's? Georgine? Traugott? (maybe he doesn't have any). Sigsiwald?

I suppose my choice would be those unfortunate souls hooked to Detlinde. Before her fall they had this exhaustive treadmill of trying to mitigate her blunders and stroking her ego nonstop. Now the rest of their lives is feeding her slop and being marked as a criminal. I can't help thinking they deserve better than that.

Who do you have sympathy for?
