The main plot doesn’t devote too much time into this although it does limit Myne’s abilities to make books and inventions. This happens often in the show where viewers may wonder if her life is at jeopardy. Ironically, Myne seems to be suffering from a mystical mana related illness that often puts her into a weakened state. Most of it comes down to trial and error in the hands of Myne’s ideas.
Throughout the anime, the show rarely relies on magic when inventions are made. This is where a certain level of realism comes in. She experiments with inventing objects associated with books and begins to gain a reputation among their society.
Considering the difficulty to acquiring them in the new world, it comes to no surprise that she would have to use some creativity to further her ambitions. On the surface, she is a kind girl who is also eager to make friends. She’s an innocent girl who is staring a new life with a passion to collect books. My impression of the show at first is that of a slow paced story to teach us about the person Myne really is. She’s a child who is eager to learn and explore. To her, reading books is equivalent to a life necessity and she would do anything to get her hands on them. It doesn’t take long for her to adjust to her newfound life as she carves for books and love of reading. The first episode drops main protagonist Myne into a world of uncertainty.
Ascendance of a Bookworm contains fantasy elements but also relies a lot more on realism than what people will realize. However, you should actually take a careful look into this anime and see it more of as a slice of life isekai. With the amount of isekai anime coming out in recent years, it’s easy to paint this show as another clone. Ascendance of a Bookworm attributes to a bookworm named “Myne” who is reincarnated into another world as she hopes to regain her ability to read. One of the fundamental elements of power comes from books and even in our modern world today, that phrase remains as true as ever. You’ve probably heard the phrase “knowledge is power”.
