  1. Reading The Vexations Of A Shut-In Vampire Princess. Figured I should read some LNs if I am going to write my own.

    It's already more perverted than mine. 💧I'm not going to be able to offer that selling point, I am afraid, but there will be plenty of battles, comedy, and more tear-jerkers than you might expect.

  7. 📘 "Ascendance of a Bookworm, part 2: Apprentice Shrine Maiden, volume 1-4" by Miya Kazuki, translated from Japanese into English by Quof, with illustrations by You Shiina

    This is a post about four books, the second arc in the Ascendance of a Bookworm light novel series. They're book 4-7 in the series and won't make much sense if you haven't read the first arc.

    At this point, the series has fully won me over and I'll probably read all volumes at some point. I mostly read these four during the recent heatwaves (plural, sadly), because they're so easy to read. Even when I'm tired or find it hard to concentrate, I can always make it through these books.

    In its core, this is still a book series about a bookworm in desperate circumstances trying to get her hands on books after being transported into a fantasy world where illiteracy is the norm and books are a rare handmade luxury. But the pacing and tone have changed quite a bit in this arc. The stakes have gotten incredibly high, and there are now action scenes, plots twists and cliffhangers. Some subjects that got introduced were more severe than I had expected. The world of this story is already rough: society is based on an extreme class difference, so there's lots of poverty and child labor is basically a necessary everyday occurrence. But in this arc the lifestyle of the rich and privileged come into view, and with it a lot more ugliness. Be warned that there's quite a bit of talk about child sexual exploitation in these volumes.

    The setting is changing too. The world was so small before, limited by the means of the main character. But now that she's gaining more resources, the world is opening up. We get to see other parts of the city and even a few completely different regions. I loved that.

    This arc also introduced many new side characters. I became particularly fond of the High Priest and Fran. There's also an increase in bonus chapters at the end of every volume, which are written from different characters' perspectives. One of them, at the end of volume two, was heartbreaking. It offered a rare view into the protagonist's previous life and left behind a bittersweet note that rang through the next volumes.

    This is also the arc where the main character finally reaches the milestone of making her first book. What a journey it's been (almost three years have passed in the story I think since the first book) and yet it feels like only the beginning. Onto the invention of the printing press, baby!

    Disability and sickness are still a main pillar of the story, although it's been woven into the lore of the world more. It seems fitting. I like that it's plot relevant, and I also appreciate that despite (healing) magic existing, there has been no full magical healing of the protagonist up till now. There are no magical quick fixes, just intense uses with consequences. The protagonist is still someone who needs to learn to pace herself to remain upright.

    I'll probably take a small break from the series for now, but I'm looking forward to the third arc. I know there's an anime adaptation, but I haven't watched it yet. I'm wondering if I should catch up to where I'm at in the novels, or if I should save it all until I'm fully done reading.

  11. Anime and Light Novel Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (July 10, 2026)

    By the length of this week's list of links, it's pretty clear that we're at the start of another simulcast season. I was really kept on my toes over the past week trying to keep up with all of these first impression posts! I suspect at this point that we've made it through most of the premieres now, so I'm anticipating that next week's list will be shorter.

  21. La promessa sposa della famiglia Minazuki, Vol. 1 di Midori Yuma

    Descrizione: Rikka Minazuki, una studentessa del primo anno delle superiori, perde ogni ragione per vivere a causa delle parole pronunciate dal padre in punto di morte. Tuttavia, il giorno del suo sedicesimo compleanno, appare un giovane a reclamarla come sua promessa sposa.

    «Piuttosto che morire, perché non viene a casa con me?»

    Portando sulle loro spalle il destino di un casato discendente da una creatura mitologica, fra i due riuscirà a nascere il vero amore?

    La mia impressione alla fine della lettura è che questa serie sia un po’ la sottomarca di Il mio matrimonio felice, del quale ho visto solo l’anime, ma mi è parso contenere più elementi interessanti di La promessa sposa della famiglia Minazuki.

    Il primo problema è che è ambientato ai giorni nostri e Rikka, la protagonista, non si fa particolari problemi a seguire un tizio sconosciuto che si presenta alla sua porta e le dice che è il suo promesso sposo. Non so, capisco il momento di fragilità emotiva in cui si trova Rikka, ma mi è sembrata subito una partenza debole e irrealistica. Tuttavia ero disposta a soprassedere se il proseguimento della storia avesse catturato la mia attenzione.

    Per niente. Non è una light novel particolarmente lunga, ma mi sembra di averci messo dieci anni a finirla. Ogni personaggio mi è sembrato la sagra della banalità e non ho individuato alcun appiglio che mi facesse venire voglia di proseguire la storia (che comunque proseguirò almeno fino al secondo volume, visto che già mi guarda mesto dalla libreria).

    Per spezzare una lancia a suo favore, si può dire che niente sia davvero successo a parte lo stretto necessario per presentare situazione e personaggi e che le light novel tendono a essere lente e a prendersi il loro tempo: posso ancora sperare che il secondo volume catturi la mia attenzione e mi spinga a continuare la serie.
