Slowly starting to hate the main character more and more...I appreciate her hustle but man she’s slowly pushing everyone away with her obsession and it’s aggravating to want to try and support her as a character |

@Kampfarsch The web-novel is split into five "Parts" which are basically just arcs. The LN resets its numbering at the end of each Part, so for example they don't call the seventeenth volume "Volume 17" they call it "Part 4 Volume 5". This convention is carried over to the manga. Look at the covers of the final volume of this manga and then the first covers of the sequel and the sequel's sequel ![]() But also there is an issue if they were just one entry and that is how do we order the volumes and chapters? What is "chapter 34" and what is "volume 8"? The immediate answer would be that chapter 34 is the first chapter of Part 2 (in spite of it being labelled chapter 1) and that volume 8 is the first volume of Part 2, but this isn't so clear cut because chronologically chapter 1 of Part 3 came out first (before Part 1 even finished!) and volume 1 of Part 3 came out before volume 1 of Part 2. Then to make matters even worse Part 1/2 and Part 3 are drawn by different people and both Part 2 and 3 are still being published. So grouping them all as one makes no sense. It's feasible to group Part 1 and 2 together and have Part 3 separate but then that looks weird, ignores different Amazon groups, ignores different raw links, ignores different AniList links, etc. So I'm wholeheartedly against merging Part 1 and 2, and think that the way MangaDex is doing things is the only sensible way of doing it. Now you may be asking "Wait... Why is Part 3 being published at the same time as Part 2? Don't you need to read Part 2 before Part 3?" There are two reasons firstly the LNs have long since completed Part 2 so LN readers can freely read Part 3, and the second is that this series is very long, this manga page we're on only adapts Part 1 which is just 10 % of the whole story but it took Japan 3 years to finish it! Two other manga that have done this are Re:Zero and Mahouka.Last edited 7 days ago by Nighthawlc. |

@Teru-Erin: I suppose that means original publication has completed (there's sequels for the manga though), not referring to translation status. |

This story is going places! and I don't know how to feel about it... On one side, the premise and the world building is interesting, on the other, the first part (~1st manga adaptation) is dragged out quite a bit and I feel the time spent making the paper for almost 15 chapters could of been used for more things than just that. Also, the MC acts incongruently with the initial setting of her being 22 years. She rather feels like a spoiled 3 year old most of the time... You could probably explain it by saying it was due to her being in a child's body, but than her behavior would be even more inconsistent. Also, as someone mentioned, she seems more of a book fetishist than a bookworm in many aspects. It gets better as the story progresses, especially in the second manga adaptation, but than we have the author who seems to really enjoy to write sad stories and see the characters, and probably us too, suffer. Every so often we would see a very sudden and big change in the story as if the author got bored or was afraid that the readers would get sick of reading his/her story. Overall, I really don't know how to feel about it? It's not bad, I like it and I don't, it's interesting, but bogged down by the authors inexperience (I guess?). Really mixed feelings. Would still recommend people to at least check it out, though. |

@neorasp Given that the novel is licensed and getting releases at a good pace (one volume every other month) and that the current (readable) fan-translations won’t even be ahead anymore as of next month I don’t really think anybody is going to pick up the novel. |
