    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.

    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...

    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.

    Summary

    Urano in different weave, time, and place of birth. When you are born in a poor duchy close to the bottom, reading has to be postponed because you have to fill up the bellies of your people and the homemaker's skills and crafts Mom drilled in her have the chance to shine.

    The problem? Leading a bottom duchy as a lady is an impossible game, so she's gotta be a he! At least Meinwald makes for a very pretty boy, and her junior is very cute even though sometimes... the angel-like Ferdinand gives her very heated looks that makes her heart flutter.

    Senpai- crossdressing Rozemyne X Junior- shota Ferdinand.

    Summary

    A formal letter is delivered from Rozemyne and into Hartmut’s surprised hands, his presence is desired three days from that very moment, and who is he to refuse when his lady calls?

    Hartmut arrives as requested but soon they are all snowed in and that was all it took for things to change between them.

    Rozemyne gets to see a whole other side of her archscholar that she didn’t know about and grows curious about her loyal retainer, perhaps there’s more to him than meets the eye, is it merely curiosity to glimpse what hides behind that ever present noble smile or is it something else?

    Hartmut gets to spend some real quality time with his lady and is in pure awe as always, she truly is a saint without equal, however his once clear cut feelings towards her are starting to morph into something else and thus he is forced to ask himself what does he actually feel for her?

    Summary

    Rozemyne goes back in time to when she was Myne. To make things go smoother this time, she wonders...what if she poses as a noble from the start? She laundered her identity as Rozemyne anyway, right? Why not con her way into a noble! Puhi!

    But as our book-loving shumil poses as a Linkberg Wolf, the butterfly effect takes place in unexpected ways...

    The Disciples of Erantura collaborate to make an Ascendance of a Bookworm retrograde fic. We hope you guys like it!

    Thrown headfirst into a world of fervent and overzealous warriors, so many new and unfamiliar faces, and overwhelming martial culture, Rozemyne must navigate her new life and solidify her faction as the future first wife to the heir of Dunkelfelger under the watchful eyes of a duchy that prizes Leidenschaft, the subordinates of fire, and… Cuococalura!?

    Summary

    The mana organ in humans led to the growth of wings. Their size was proportional to the size of the mana organ and only those of sufficient mana quantity were actually able to fly with them. Those, who could not fly by the end of the Royal Academy could not stay in noble society, lest they brought the overall mana pool down.

    Instead of mana sensing, a change in color of the wings from that of their birth season to their own occurred during puberty. Therefore, a suitable match was usually made just by comparing the size and color of their wings.

    The growth of wings in children required tender and attentive care from their parents. That was why those with the Devouring often ended up with ingrown wings, masking them in commoner society.

    ---

    Myne is such a hidden devourer that gets forced into noble affairs by the Zent's new law to contract all newly discovered devouring girls. Ferdinand is the unlucky one who has to sign with her. But with enough education and if she manages to secure a proper engagement before her graduation she may avoid the fate of a mistress (or worse).

    Unfortunately, convincing a boy who is as highly manaed as her to properly marry a commoner will not be easy.

    I am really excited about this! Wings work surprising well in the Ascendance of a Bookworm universe. This is a really interesting take on the world, since Myne never becomes Rozemyne, instead just entering noble society as a Devouring child. She gets to keep in contact with her family! Kind of. Tuuli is with her, but her parents can't follow her into the noble world. It's interesting to see how her interactions with everyone change because they know she's not from a noble bloodline. It's a very cute fic, with Ferdinand being Rozemyne's adoptive father and they have so many cute moments!

    A prank from Liebeskhilfe messes with Rozemyne's and Lestilaut's threads. What should have been a day as any other during Rozemyne's third year at the Royal Academy turns out to be very different.

    As Rozemyne wakes up several heads taller, several times stronger, with pants she had not worn in ages, Lestilaut wakes up in the weakest and smallest body he could imagine. And the nightgown he was wearing definitely felt like a dress.

    "Scar?" Grian repeated, more shifting, like he was sitting up. Tired but gentle confusion in his voice. "Are you okay?"

    Scar should've hung up. It was bad enough he'd actually called. He should've lied, should've said it was a misdial and pretended to be okay. He should've done a hundred things and he did the one thing he shouldn't, because despite everything that happened between them, Scar felt safest with the one who hurt him. He said, a trembling whisper, "No."

    The beginning is a little hard to understand and Scar is a teensy bit insufferable, but I hope that'll change as the plot develops! The wording used is nice, plot seems interesting and I'm really excited for the rest.
