    Summary

    Rozemyne has spent a long time in Yurgenschmidt, nearly thirteen years at this point. Things weren't so easy when she first woke up here, reborn after being crushed under a pile of her beloved books, when she was so sickly that she thought she was going to die. But she's made a good life for herself among the commoners, she started going to school and improved her health, she opened a printing workshop with Benno, and she even managed to snag a job as an assistant librarian! Everything's going great, and now, her greatest desire is to get better for good. And get lots and lots of books, of course.

    And that's when she meets him.

    10/10 This is the best. Absolutely and undeniable the best Ascendance of a Bookworm fic I have ever read. I love it so much.

    Summary

    What if, instead of as a commoner, Urano reincarnated as Rozemyne, daughter of the Knight Commander Karstedt?

    Rozemyne still yearns for books above all else; being an archnoble certainly helps push things along. However, living as a Leisegang at the height of Veronica's power is still an unpleasant affair. With her lofty goals, how will Rozemyne maneuver around noble society to achieve them?

    Elvira's education is sure to come in handy...

    Crazy cliffhanger. I like the way there are consequences to the character's actions. I was worried that everything would turn out perfectly fine.

    Summary

    *Part 5 / Web Novel Spoilers*
    A retrograde where Rozemyne dies and is forced to go back in time, with each death rewinding time even more. She has hurt and been hurt by Ferdinand many times, and is now back at the start of her journey as a commoner child. With her heart and soul broken from repeated trauma, she decides she is going to save Yurgenschmidt by herself.

    Welcome to "A Frayed Knot", or otherwise known as "Ascendance of an Edgy Shonen Protagonist: All Routes Lead to Suffering". This idea started because I was tired of all the happy-go-lucky fanfics where they try to make everything perfect, while also inventing a gluten free substitute to sugar, and everyone lives happily ever after. I wanted to make a story where characters experience hardships and trials way heavier than the source material, while trying to keep a similar lighthearted tone to the light novels.

    Summary

    Ascendance of a Bookworm if whichever God who reincarnated Myne didn’t set her up for near failure. Rozemyne is reborn as the first child of Aub Ehrenfest, and her biggest wish upon death is actually granted rather than ignored. The story of an Urano who is raised a lady and given free reign of the castle library until it, horrifyingly, runs out of new books!! What to do??

    *There are some dark themes in this story that contrast with the cutesy and funny, just a warning. It won’t always be that way, but noble culture is pretty cutthroat.

    **This story was written on a whim without any kind of plan or editing, and therefore it is not anywhere close to my current standard for my original, as of yet unpublished work. Please read at your own peril. First drafts are usually a mess, and I will likely never put this story through the ringer of 8 drafts like I did my first book I’m going to try to publish in the next couple years. Because of this, I appreciate any feedback given on the story in the event that I do choose to improve it one day, as such feedback can inspire my work in future chapters. I’m truly honoured that this little story has received such a warm welcome in the Ascendance fandom.
