*How people see Rozemyne at the Royal Academy:* Hirschur: Ferdinand's prized disciple. Ferdinand: Unpredictable. Absolute chaos wherever she goes. Sylvester: She's a gremlin. Karstedt: She distracts my wife so she's alright. Bonifatius: My darling granddaughter! Damuel: Please come back Rozemyne. Your grandfather's training is going to kill me... Charlotte: Onee-sama! Rihyarda: Ojou-sama. Philine: She must be super-rich if she can afford to use all this paper... Stenluke: The master of my master. Angelica: Why Rozemyne-sama why!? (She can't use Stenluke to cheat) Hartmut: The Saint of Ehrenfest. Just that alone justifies our existence. All of Dunkelfelger except Lestilaut: She's the GOAT! Lestilaut: She's a fake Saint. Her evil schemes are proof of that! Eglantine: If she were a man, I would ask her to be my God of Darkness. Prince Anastasius: The tiny one who stole my beloved's heart even though they're the same gender...
Lots of people have been saying that rosamine may not wind up as the queen or ruler of anything, but that her insane rampages may result in her being responsible for the person who does take the throne. I think this is a pretty good prediction. She's going to get all annoyed and do a bunch of crazy stuff to get back to reading, and that's going to result in the next ruler being crowned by her indirectly.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx oh it will help..... With all the chaos and things she doesn't want. That's the fun of writing a book series like this! The author has to be laughing herself to sleep some days. It's got to be a blast to be writing this kind of stuff.
@@paysonfox88 She certainly has a very colorful imagination to have written all of those volumes so masterfully. I got myself entertained enough to get myself laughing because of all the chaos that is happening in the nobility. I love chaos and and so I love the book.
33:33 It's a mystery where Ryharda went after the ditter game but on an unrelated note her grandson Traugott who disobeyed Rozemyne's orders and put her life in jeopardy during the game noticeably couldn't sit down for a week after that day...
Praise the gods. A new update. When I read Anastasius' side-story, I deeply felt the dread Eglantine must've felt at the beginning. Imagine the guy thats pursuing you ordering your presence and saying that Rozemyne told him "many things". For her, it must have felt like the ivory-tower had for Wilfried, being led to he downfall.
Honestly it should have been, imagine if it had been Sigiswald who called her, jesus. This ONLY worked out so well because Anastasius is head over heels obsessed with her
@@Tenshi6Tantou6Rei Anastasius is basically full stalker mode on Eglantine and also if it weren't for Rozemyne's help, the second prince would probably be seen as a creep who is trying to score on Eglantine in order to secure his ascension to the throne.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx well yeah but also a certain brother of his doesn’t take well to rejection and is liable to start a war over it. I don’t imagine he wouldn’t do something drastic to eggs if he finds out her plan was to stall them out as long as she can and then basically flip a coin
@@Tenshi6Tantou6Rei Yeah, both of them prince brothers are just serious romantics. They won't take no for an answer. That's what is Eglantine is afraid of. Sigiswald and Anastasius waging a war just to get her hand in marriage in order for one of them to become king. However, Anastasius took Rozemyne's alternative which is to become a vassal royal and convince Eglantine that he doesn't seek the throne and give up his right to Sigiswald so that no war will declared.
I will always respect Rihyarda for having the common sense to just... sit Rozemyne down and talk with her, as opposed to just shouting at her and expecting her to understand things she had no way of knowing. Really shows how much more mature and experienced she is compared to Rozemyne's other noble guardians.
@@exile_kzk The problem is, she’s an adult, and a child, and the commoner, and the shrine maiden. As far as the nobles are concerned, she’s a complete wildcard. Completely understanding and in control of the situation one second and doing something beyond comprehension the next. In fact, she tells Rose mindless that she considers herself a third-grade attendance, because she can’t figure out what rosemyne wants in advance because she doesn’t understand her.
It's easy to overlook some characters with how huge the cast is, but Rihyarda was spot on here. As much as all her other guardians try to, it feels like no one else has actually put in the effort to understand her
When you stop and think about it, Rosemyne is truly impressive in her ability to adapt to noble culture. Yeah she makes a lot of slip ups but you have to consider there are many factors working against her: she's a reincarnation in a completely different world to the one she remembers, she was born a commoner not a noble, she's working on a moral compass from modern day Earth instead of a medieval European society, and she's given relatively little guidance from her guardians. Sure they teach her a lot, but teaching and nurturing aren't the same thing. I've seen it be pointed out before, but Rosemyne isn't really treated like a child by her guardians, but as a small adult (remember that at least Ferdinand, Karstedt and Sylvester know about her reincarnation). This is what leads to them becoming exasperated with her poor social skills: they're subconsciously comparing her to an adult noble. I've also seen some people point out how a lot of Rosemyne's mistakes could've been avoided if Ferdinand was better at communicating (ironically the same thing he chastises Rosemyne about). He always says the bare minimum, which is rarely enough for Rosemyne to actually understand since he subconsciously expects her to read between the lines. This leads to Rosemyne making mistakes and him berating her for them when really its a failing on his part as her teacher and guardian.
I love the part with Traugott. Showing how someone can talk shit about her but as soon as they look down on the people she cares about she's done and has not a shred of sympathy to spare. Also almost every interaction with the prince had me laugh out loud. While at the time I often didn't have the full context just imagining how he is used to being treated and her actions/words going completely against that was absolutely hilarious.
@@Damonnanashi Favorite Traugott chapter is in the year 1 side stories and you get a good idea of just how ice cold both of Ferdenand's attendants are in the side story book..
Dude, how does this channel only have 9k subs? the production quality and content is leagues better than a lot of the other LN based channels. Criminally under-rated
I laugh so much at the onscreen captions! The way they provide a more interesting and humorous take on what he's talking about is glorious and I wish all the Bookworm fans could see it!!!
Being in part 5 now and understanding Yurgenschmit socializing (minus the slam poetry) looking back at this part gives me second hand cringe. It's such good writing. There is so much reread value in this series
My favorite part was re-reading Anastasius' interactions with Rozemyne, he's such a dork and Rozemyne cannot even take him seriously. Seems like she has forgotten the proper etiquette at socializing with the royalty whenever they meet along.
Honestly, we should've expected Rosemyne to be pretty good tactician. Not only has she read a bunch of books on Ditter and battle tactics, she's likely listened to stories from Karstedt as well. Not to mention she's also the daughter of a soldier so she's got that knack for warfare in her blood.
I would argue that having survived a total of two attempts on her life and being around here three guardian as help. Here time spent trying to out Fox Ferdinand has made her the way she is.
She has already read some of Angelica's ditter books in order to teach her how to pass her exams because Angelica is a muscle-head who doesn't think much. Her commoner father being a soldier could probably have influenced her competitiveness in battle.
I'm so happy to relive this series with you. you retell it so well. I've just caught up to the LN english translation, so I value this deep dive series more than ever now.
man when i watch your videos i realize how much information i was missing when reading, i helps me get a much better understanding of the same story i was reading for years now XD
Every book in part 4 is so damn good, but especially the parts in the school. A good magic school setting is hard to beat. BTW are you going to cover Royal Academy Stories V1? They are really fun, but on top of that contain huge revelations that I was amazed weren't in the main story.
Let's all remember that a teenager made a mistake that is going to screw over his entire future. I feel like we forget how young they are. Also, obligatory F traugott.
yeah, well, theres a reason why we go all in on teaching kids to "do right" Because thats how it always have been, super unfair, even in todays world all it takes is one stupid mistake to fuck up you life. If we go down that rabit hole we also end with no one can be blamed for their mistakes as we all just cogs in the machine of life. Yet counter to that is thent that even if you cant be blamed for you own actions the punishment for them you will still get as they to are part of the machine. Its a good example of why main characters journey to the top will leave alot for unlucky side characters fall down. Only 1 can win the race, thats the cruelty of life.
Love watching the series being retold this way! Love the jokes you write. And the recap makes me want to read the volume bests chapters and see what interesting little tidbits you may have left out so we can read the volume ourselves.
Ah this video came into my feed as a total surprise wasn't expecting it so soon after the last! you're doing an amazing job on these videos and i'm in absolute love with the content :)
I have to say this is one addictive series. You and the anime have defently increased their book sales. I have re read the series 3 x now up to the next 5.2 coming out at the end of the month. I come back to listen to your web series. You have done an excellent job.
Another amazing video @Trash-Tier Waifu Next video I recommend reading: *Ascendance of a Bookworm: Royal Academy Stories - First Year* Since the stories takes place between Part 4 Volume 2 and Volume 3. So you can consider the book Part 4 Volume 2.5
I assume you're going to cover the First Year side story collection either after p4v3 or p4v4, with the more context it gives us on her escapades during this time which is such a fun ride
As someone who has been almost religiously snagging new volumes the hour they've dropped since the end of Part 2, these deep dives have been a wonderful way for me to recap on what events have happened. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to future installments through the rest of part 4.
This makes me love the series more and more. Eventhough I still need to read the lightnovel. I like these summaries so much!! This makes me feel like I’m living through Rosemyne’s life and the story. Keep it up!!
Ahhhh, I wish the books would come out faster. I've been reading off of physicals only (because I'm technically buying them for my daughter) and it's almost painfully slow waiting. Especially when I know I could get another chunk of books just subscribing.
Rozemyne: hey your strategy isn't going to work. You need to be patient and wait for the right moment. Trougot: NO big mana go brrrrrr. Rozemyne: Fuck your honor! Sit down and shut up. Trougot: fuck Damuel. Rozemyne: * inhale * you have chosen the slow death. I'll give you exactly what you want and it will the sweetest, most potent of poisons. Enjoy every last drop. Everyone else: When did book gremlin get scary!?😨
First. I love your videos. You always point out something in book i completely missed. Second. Can you also do Royal Academy stories - first year? They show events from first 3 books from different point of view and also sums up what happened during whole year.
That was quick and caught me completely by surprise (a very happy surprise), even messes up with my calculations - I expected based on the current rate of the recaps and the light novel translation and expected number of the light novels, to see this series catching up with the translations around p5 v8
As far as the early part 4 books, I believe this is my favorite. If you include the Royal academy stories first year along with this book as more or less a complete book, it is definitely my favorite. We get that early Hannelore before her corruption, and Rozemyne is still concerned about her bookworm friend and how that friend sees her...
Spoiler: I love the small detail thrown in about Benno and possibly one of his motivations (aside from money) for really pushing to save Myne- "Myne had given Lutz consoling smiles even when enduring the tremendous pain of the Devouring. Benno's childhood sweetheart from when he was thirteen had also endured it, and the way she had screamed when the heat welled up out of nowhere stuck with him to this day. His brows knitted as he thought back to that girl, the love of his life whom he had failed to save."
@@jbrandt7 I’m only 3/4 done. It appeared to be something from much later on. So my bad. I can’t read the book at work, but I can listen to the commentary. Sorry
Yes, it’s definitely in this book. I shouldn’t have said anything before I finished. Or maybe read the whole book before I watch these. I’m not sure how I feel about it. But it does appear to be foreshadowed. A little bit. But it means Beno should have immediately recognize the signs that she had the devouring. He didn’t, but Freda did. 🤷🏻♂️
Let me be clear here ... I am NOT criticizing when I say this I wish these videos did not take so long to come out ... but I know how much time and effort goes into making these videos... because it is not just sitting down and doing a commentary on your thoughts and such ... but really making it a visually and audibly entertaining and engaging video that HOPEFULLY will make people come back for more and WANT to go read the LN .... that is why as long as these videos keep coming as they have been then I WILL be back for more Great Job with these and looking forward to more to come.... lol and I just got through watching the entire Anime Series AND your series again
I really love and look forward to these videos. Like I have to actually sit down and watch because I love reading the text on screen and hate to miss it. I need to buy all these books because I love the story
A few years ago I read the whole Google translated web novel. Your series brings back my memories and it is just a great story. Your format is perfect and I am looking forward to the next installment. Keep up the good work and thank you for the great production.
wow a christmas gift! i love this i reed all Ascendance of a Bookworm, 3 years ago ( japanese web novel) and this is a good for refresh the memories and hear other opinion about this amazing serie
Trash-Tier Waifu Thanks, I enjoyed listening to the review & please make the next one sooner then, 3 weeks. I love this series & hopefully they make a 4 season of the anime. I look forward to the next.😃
once again a brilliant video the destruction of trauggot was wonderfull when he was talking and started ripping on Damuell i was thinking while reading it "you want your grave really deep don't you"
I listened to every Bookworm video of yours. You got a really nice voice. I kindly ask you to keep it family-friendly, so I can recommend your channel to my nieces and nephews. Thanks a lot for all your hard work.
Do you plan to also cover Royal Academy Stories at some point? Just putting it out there, since there are a few passages where I got confused about this issue until it was cleared up later: When Eglantine's parents and older siblings died her biological grandfather was the Aub Klassenberg and adopted her as his "daughter" to keep her safe. But he has since stepped down and passed the title to his son, Eglantine's biological uncle. So when someone mentions the previous Aub Klassenberg, they mean Eglantine's biological grandfather/adoptive father. And when they just say Aub Klassenberg, that's the current one, i.e. her uncle. Despite stepping down from the Aub position, her grandfather still holds considerable influence in his home. Also yes, Eglantine is the cousin of the princes. Their respective fathers were brothers. But that's also why it's not an issue for marriage. In that world it matters mostly who the mothers were for nobles, since mana is majorily inherited from the mother. This goes so far that even half-siblings may marry, as long as they are from the same father with different mothers, but not the other way around. To be fair to Rozemyne, once the tea party with the music professors concluded, she was in too deep to get out anyway (and one could argue that she had little to no chance to steer clear even before then). When Eglantine or Anastasius make a request she can hardly turn them down, seeing as how one is an archduke candidate from the number 1 duchy and the other a prince. As much as others complain to her, there was really little anyone could have done in her position to not get entangled, even if they were fully trained in socializing, which Rozemyne very much is not. Which is another reason why she shouldn't really be blamed. All the stuff she messes up is the stuff they couldn't teach her due to her 2 year coma and focussing entirely on academics in the short window between her waking up and going to the academy or the stuff that was well outside her control to begin with. Fun little side-note: Lestilaut's name essentially comes from the combining the German words lästig and laut, which mean annoying and loud respectively. So he's Lord Annoyloud if you will. :) Something similar goes for Professor Womanoise or Fraularm, who featured in the previous volume. ^^
"You can talk sh*t about me but no at my fam" Rozemyn to traugot Really like your explanation, i read the light novel but it's still hard for me to imagine in my head because English is not my first language especially the ditter part.
Can't wait for the next video as i'm finally getting ahead of the episodes! it's insane to think that we have so many volumes left in this series. and honestly, i can't wait till we move onto other series. the way you retell the stories has been a great laugh for me. and i can really tell how much you loved reading this. I haven't gone back to watch any of your other content as i've just been catching up with these specifically first. but hopefully i get some more great content like this.
Do you have a plan to cover the Royal Academy short stories as well in the next video or entirely separate? Either way can't wait to hear your recap of those stories!
Just a reminder for scale and context of the world. Rozemyne's books are 1 small gold and 8 large silver. So at 3 large golds the borrowing a book from the library is over 16 times more expensive.
In terms of writing, Rozemyne is like an unknown and wild factor, that inserted itself into a school setting otome game. She made her didn't students, who should've just been background characters, rise up to ruin and threaten the standing of every other duchy there but she's also taken a pair of magical relics that could've counted as a mcguffin defense items of a heroine and cemented proper understanding between one of the princes and ladies
You knew I needed this upload right? It came so quickly from the last and I Appreciate it and You. Your recap and analysis are so helpful, in jogging my memory and sometimes just seeing things differently. Thank you for a great year of hard work. Happy Christmas and looking forward to 2023😄
Thanks for having this series! After the anime, I wanted more and found your videos and loved them! I loved them so much that I bought the books for part 3 to get a better view of the world!
For the character comments/jokes used throughout the video I think it would help visibility on smaller (cellphone) screens if you inverted the colors (white fill/black border versus the current black fill/white boarder) As it stands it's hard to read most of what's written if it's not displayed on a very bright (almost completely white) background.
Your work has given me much greater enjoyment to/of my rereads. The dots you connect have also added much to my Respect for the author and her ability!
I must point out that even though Rozemyne made quite a lot of problems half of these problems are acually more faults of Ferdinand and Sylvester than her(something which is later pointed out by Florencia). Ferdinand went really crazy preparing her for studies but never once tell her anything about socialization and simply assumed noble common sense(something Rozemyne is missing). He was hopping that Elvira and Florencia would teach her but when you think about it. Even without jureve, Rozemyne is spending really lot of time in temple so they really dont talk to each other that much. Basically nobody ever really taught Rozemyne how to socialize and simply throw her to the sharks. Also Sylvester not knowing about another potential succesion crisis really tells how he is absolutelly clueless about kingdom politics even though he is aub.
Ferdinand is at fault for not reminding Rozemyne to socialize with the other duchies because he literally sucks at socializing because he's too busy at finishing three academy courses all at once while he's studying at the Royal Academy.
*How people see Rozemyne at the Royal Academy:*
Hirschur: Ferdinand's prized disciple.
Ferdinand: Unpredictable. Absolute chaos wherever she goes.
Sylvester: She's a gremlin.
Karstedt: She distracts my wife so she's alright.
Bonifatius: My darling granddaughter!
Damuel: Please come back Rozemyne. Your grandfather's training is going to kill me...
Charlotte: Onee-sama!
Rihyarda: Ojou-sama.
Philine: She must be super-rich if she can afford to use all this paper...
Stenluke: The master of my master.
Angelica: Why Rozemyne-sama why!? (She can't use Stenluke to cheat)
Hartmut: The Saint of Ehrenfest. Just that alone justifies our existence.
All of Dunkelfelger except Lestilaut: She's the GOAT!
Lestilaut: She's a fake Saint. Her evil schemes are proof of that!
Eglantine: If she were a man, I would ask her to be my God of Darkness.
Prince Anastasius: The tiny one who stole my beloved's heart even though they're the same gender...
I agree
Lestilaut 100% believes she's something other than the goat.....just in a different way than you meant
Rosemyne just wants her books, but accidentally changes the political landscape and future of the entire country. Oops!
Such chaos, not even Georgine is capable of such catastrophe.
Lots of people have been saying that rosamine may not wind up as the queen or ruler of anything, but that her insane rampages may result in her being responsible for the person who does take the throne.
I think this is a pretty good prediction. She's going to get all annoyed and do a bunch of crazy stuff to get back to reading, and that's going to result in the next ruler being crowned by her indirectly.

Part 4 Vol 3 WHEN?????
Also, Rozemyne's treatment of Trougut. It'd make Ferdinand PROUD. ;)
This makes me love the series more and more. Eventhough I still need to read the lightnovel. I like these summaries so much!! This makes me feel like I’m living through Rosemyne’s life and the story. Keep it up!!
Ahhhh, I wish the books would come out faster. I've been reading off of physicals only (because I'm technically buying them for my daughter) and it's almost painfully slow waiting. Especially when I know I could get another chunk of books just subscribing.
Rozemyne: hey your strategy isn't going to work. You need to be patient and wait for the right moment.
Trougot: NO big mana go brrrrrr.
Rozemyne: Fuck your honor! Sit down and shut up.
Trougot: fuck Damuel.
Rozemyne: * inhale * you have chosen the slow death. I'll give you exactly what you want and it will the sweetest, most potent of poisons. Enjoy every last drop.
Everyone else: When did book gremlin get scary!?😨
First. I love your videos. You always point out something in book i completely missed. Second. Can you also do Royal Academy stories - first year? They show events from first 3 books from different point of view and also sums up what happened during whole year.
☃MERRY CHRISTMAS ⛄ Trash-Tier Waifu🎄
I love these videos. Always payed out really well and understandable. Really appreciate your thoughts on the books as well
Love on how the fight for ditter was like told
That was quick and caught me completely by surprise (a very happy surprise), even messes up with my calculations - I expected based on the current rate of the recaps and the light novel translation and expected number of the light novels, to see this series catching up with the translations around p5 v8
As far as the early part 4 books, I believe this is my favorite. If you include the Royal academy stories first year along with this book as more or less a complete book, it is definitely my favorite. We get that early Hannelore before her corruption, and Rozemyne is still concerned about her bookworm friend and how that friend sees her...
Thank you for continuing this series. I have already watched it 5 times today. I hope you have a great holiday.
Spoiler: I love the small detail thrown in about Benno and possibly one of his motivations (aside from money) for really pushing to save Myne- "Myne had given Lutz consoling smiles even when enduring the tremendous pain of the Devouring. Benno's childhood sweetheart from when he was thirteen had also endured it, and the way she had screamed when the heat welled up out of nowhere stuck with him to this day. His brows knitted as he thought back to that girl, the love of his life whom he had failed to save."
If you’re going to put spoilers in from later books, you should put spoiler at the beginning of your comment. I really did need to read that now.
@@neilkurzman4907 no more than the rest of the recap- it’s from this volume
@@jbrandt7
I’m only 3/4 done. It appeared to be something from much later on. So my bad. I can’t read the book at work, but I can listen to the commentary.
Sorry
Yes, it’s definitely in this book. I shouldn’t have said anything before I finished. Or maybe read the whole book before I watch these.
I’m not sure how I feel about it. But it does appear to be foreshadowed. A little bit. But it means Beno should have immediately recognize the signs that she had the devouring. He didn’t, but Freda did. 🤷🏻♂️
Let me be clear here ... I am NOT criticizing when I say this
I wish these videos did not take so long to come out ... but I know how much time and effort goes into making these videos... because it is not just sitting down and doing a commentary on your thoughts and such ... but really making it a visually and audibly entertaining and engaging video that HOPEFULLY will make people come back for more and WANT to go read the LN .... that is why as long as these videos keep coming as they have been then I WILL be back for more
Great Job with these and looking forward to more to come.... lol and I just got through watching the entire Anime Series AND your series again
Merry Christmas bookworms !!! If your not on discord please join we talk about all the books and suggestions for other good reads/watches…
I really love and look forward to these videos. Like I have to actually sit down and watch because I love reading the text on screen and hate to miss it. I need to buy all these books because I love the story
This mad lad is underrated. I hate listening to audio books but love these vids.
Yaaaasssss!!! this is what I need this Monday morning!
I absolutely adore this series bud, I'm looking forward to the next
A few years ago I read the whole Google translated web novel. Your series brings back my memories and it is just a great story. Your format is perfect and I am looking forward to the next installment. Keep up the good work and thank you for the great production.

once again a brilliant video the destruction of trauggot was wonderfull when he was talking and started ripping on Damuell i was thinking while reading it "you want your grave really deep don't you"
Can you review/retell the next volume please? I love these videos!!!
I get so happy every time you upload
Its really fun reading the preleases on Jnovel chapter by chapter and come here to have it all recapped and summarized for review.
I just realized rose mine basically pulled off a drive-by
Hell yes this is a quote whenever someone see the new video and loves this video series
Please do "Royal Academy Stories - First Year" around Novel 16 it fall between novel 16 & 17
I listened to every Bookworm video of yours. You got a really nice voice. I kindly ask you to keep it family-friendly, so I can recommend your channel to my nieces and nephews. Thanks a lot for all your hard work.
Well I have watched almost all of your episodes at least twice! I do enjoy them keep up the good work.
9:16 Oh my gods, you actually edited that picture to say rozemyne garden
Thank you for making another one of these so quickly after your last attendance of a bookworm video.
Do you plan to also cover Royal Academy Stories at some point?
Just putting it out there, since there are a few passages where I got confused about this issue until it was cleared up later:
When Eglantine's parents and older siblings died her biological grandfather was the Aub Klassenberg and adopted her as his "daughter" to keep her safe. But he has since stepped down and passed the title to his son, Eglantine's biological uncle. So when someone mentions the previous Aub Klassenberg, they mean Eglantine's biological grandfather/adoptive father. And when they just say Aub Klassenberg, that's the current one, i.e. her uncle. Despite stepping down from the Aub position, her grandfather still holds considerable influence in his home.
Also yes, Eglantine is the cousin of the princes. Their respective fathers were brothers. But that's also why it's not an issue for marriage. In that world it matters mostly who the mothers were for nobles, since mana is majorily inherited from the mother. This goes so far that even half-siblings may marry, as long as they are from the same father with different mothers, but not the other way around.
To be fair to Rozemyne, once the tea party with the music professors concluded, she was in too deep to get out anyway (and one could argue that she had little to no chance to steer clear even before then). When Eglantine or Anastasius make a request she can hardly turn them down, seeing as how one is an archduke candidate from the number 1 duchy and the other a prince. As much as others complain to her, there was really little anyone could have done in her position to not get entangled, even if they were fully trained in socializing, which Rozemyne very much is not. Which is another reason why she shouldn't really be blamed. All the stuff she messes up is the stuff they couldn't teach her due to her 2 year coma and focussing entirely on academics in the short window between her waking up and going to the academy or the stuff that was well outside her control to begin with.
Fun little side-note: Lestilaut's name essentially comes from the combining the German words lästig and laut, which mean annoying and loud respectively. So he's Lord Annoyloud if you will. :)
Something similar goes for Professor Womanoise or Fraularm, who featured in the previous volume. ^^
happy new years
"I don't care about your Loser Notions of Honor, I'm Creating the meta!" That's a Line to Forever Remember!
Bookgasme is my new favorite word from this series
Haha I binged your bookworm recaps literally yesterday and this morning I see there's a brand new video. What a coincidence!
I actively look forward to watching your videos on a bi-weekly basis
"You can talk sh*t about me but no at my fam"
Rozemyn to traugot
Really like your explanation, i read the light novel but it's still hard for me to imagine in my head because English is not my first language especially the ditter part.
The problems caused by rosemynes , infatuation with books causes problems in more than just this part. It is the entire basis for the series.
Thank you for posting
Praise the gods, we have been blessed
Thank you for this content
I'm so happy for the new video been really fun.
Always shocked by how much effort you put into these videos. Very impressive man I really appreciate you
Looking forward to the next volume review
Rozemyne: "I don't care about your loser notions of honor I'm creating the meta!" Priceless!!! LOL 😆 LOL
Aaahhh I love this volume also! Why is this series so good!?!?!?!?
A great video, glad it comes out on a prepub day. More bookworm is always good.
Had to say it I absolutely love listening to u produce these vids and have great anticipation for the next vid keep up the great work
Can't wait for the next video as i'm finally getting ahead of the episodes! it's insane to think that we have so many volumes left in this series. and honestly, i can't wait till we move onto other series. the way you retell the stories has been a great laugh for me. and i can really tell how much you loved reading this.
I haven't gone back to watch any of your other content as i've just been catching up with these specifically first. but hopefully i get some more great content like this.
Do you have a plan to cover the Royal Academy short stories as well in the next video or entirely separate? Either way can't wait to hear your recap of those stories!
I want a set of paper dolls and back drops, grand kids steal fhone becouse og these.
Thank you man for this video you definitely deserve more than what you have on subscribers
An early christmas present, THANK YOU.
Just a reminder for scale and context of the world. Rozemyne's books are 1 small gold and 8 large silver.
So at 3 large golds the borrowing a book from the library is over 16 times more expensive.
I’m glad the books about Rose. Mine are cheaper than that.
In terms of writing, Rozemyne is like an unknown and wild factor, that inserted itself into a school setting otome game.
She made her didn't students, who should've just been background characters, rise up to ruin and threaten the standing of every other duchy there but she's also taken a pair of magical relics that could've counted as a mcguffin defense items of a heroine and cemented proper understanding between one of the princes and ladies
You knew I needed this upload right? It came so quickly from the last and I Appreciate it and You. Your recap and analysis are so helpful, in jogging my memory and sometimes just seeing things differently. Thank you for a great year of hard work. Happy Christmas and looking forward to 2023😄
Thanks for having this series! After the anime, I wanted more and found your videos and loved them! I loved them so much that I bought the books for part 3 to get a better view of the world!
Man I love that you make these videos. I always look forward to them and get excited when they are out.
Thank you for continuing this amazing series
For the character comments/jokes used throughout the video I think it would help visibility on smaller (cellphone) screens if you inverted the colors (white fill/black border versus the current black fill/white boarder)
As it stands it's hard to read most of what's written if it's not displayed on a very bright (almost completely white) background.
Me: way too excited mentally dying too. Love this and will always be waiting for the next.
Thanks for everything.
Great video! Thank you so much!
I know it's late and completely coincidental. But this was a great birthday present when it dropped. It made me so happy.
Great video as always. Really enjoy them all. Time to re-read the whole series again!
about time. I been dying waiting
I love this deep dives I wach them the moment they come out
Let's gooooooooo!!!!
Happy Holidays, waifu and all
HELL YEAH!😔Best christmas gift.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Your work has given me much greater enjoyment to/of my rereads. The dots you connect have also added much to my Respect for the author and her ability!
I must point out that even though Rozemyne made quite a lot of problems half of these problems are acually more faults of Ferdinand and Sylvester than her(something which is later pointed out by Florencia). Ferdinand went really crazy preparing her for studies but never once tell her anything about socialization and simply assumed noble common sense(something Rozemyne is missing). He was hopping that Elvira and Florencia would teach her but when you think about it. Even without jureve, Rozemyne is spending really lot of time in temple so they really dont talk to each other that much. Basically nobody ever really taught Rozemyne how to socialize and simply throw her to the sharks. Also Sylvester not knowing about another potential succesion crisis really tells how he is absolutelly clueless about kingdom politics even though he is aub.
Ferdinand is at fault for not reminding Rozemyne to socialize with the other duchies because he literally sucks at socializing because he's too busy at finishing three academy courses all at once while he's studying at the Royal Academy.
Thank you so much for these videos! I don’t mind how long they are but I’m sure it matters a lot when you have to edit them! 😅 so thank you again!
Thank you for the video please keep making more
Yes I was waiting… :))
Love these videos, a great treatment of a great series.
I love these just got the light novel royal academy stories and I’m going to finish it after this
