She was reborn as Myne, the daughter of a soldier in a world where the literacy rate is low and books were scarce. No matter how much she wanted to read, there were no books around. What is a bookworm to do without any books? Make them, of course.
Her goal is to become a librarian! So that she may once again live surrounded by books, she must start by making them herself.

I just finished reading the raws, and it's a shame the translation isn't further along. I've never been s**ked into a WN as much as I have this one. Many, many tears were shed. I can't get up the urge to start a new novel when I could instead reread Bookworm for a third time in a row.
The MC is a bit self centered and aggravating in the first part of the series, the part that's been translated, but the author has said that it's intentional. Maine learning to balance her own desires with more important things is a big part of the series.
While I love every bit of Bookworm, the first part (there are 5) is probably the least representative of the series as a whole. This story goes places you would not expect.
- A twenty-two-year-old bookworm dies and is reborn in a generically medieval setting. Unfortunately, the body she starts inhabiting is extremely weak due to excessive magical power. Despite how her family is poor as sh*t and she basically can't contribute to their household in any way thanks to said weakness, she decides she absolutely has to have a book and, since books are so expensive in this world, thus embarks on a (very slow-paced) journey to make one. Along the way, she befriends her neighbor, Lutz, who wants to be a merchant, and when she rips off items from her past life, a local merchant takes notice. They figure out how to make money and then they make paper and a whole bunch of other stuff happens, but it's all so bland I didn't retain any of it. I'm not marking any of this as a spoiler because I doubt anyone's going to make it to this point in the story anyway. It's bad.
Pros:- The translation is good
- Vaguely educational? (You'll learn about how paper is made, sort of, though I don't know how accurate any of this is to real life)
- The magic aspect is interesting?? I guess?? Not that it comes up much beyond moments where the MC comes close to death
- It's free
- If you're like the MC, you'll take delight in how many words are in each chapter (and possibly rub your face on the screen while drooling, idk)
Cons:
