Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.A bookworm who had finally found a job as a librarian at a university was sadly killed shortly after graduating from college.
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.

- There's no bathing culture for commoner.
- Sickly body of a five years old have terrible stamina.
- Maine's selfishness
- Maine's lack of common sense
What I outlined above doesn't make reading this story enjoyable I admit, it's tedious but they're all scenes the writer have to include to make this story a high quality reading it is. It's quite an irony that many feels MC's love for book is not fleshed out very well and taking a jab on the lack of explanation. It's like asking why we read like reading Light Novel or watching anime, not all of us can explain our enjoyment beyond it's just something they find enjoyable. At the very least as a reader I don't find Maine's love for book as an element in this amazing story that have to be explained in details. All in all I encourage you to read this story for at least ten chapters to get really into it.(a huge bother for Maine/Reino and more than just mere enjoyment in her part, she is seriously concerned about poor hygiene in her commoner family and how that affect her already sickly body.
Maine have terrible stamina, which mean she barely can do anything on her own. The writer manage to not skip her effort and failure just to walk to her father's workplace.
At first she does appear selfish and sort of condescending to her new family because of their low life standard. However as unlikeable as this can be, I can't deny how realistic it is for a modern person to react poorly to commoner life in medieaval era. If anything- I am more skeptical to other novel that can't depict a realistic outlook of this scenario of transmigration.
The life outlook of modern person couldn't possibly match medieval era she transmigrated to, when changing profession she also fumbled a lot because she doesn't have instant understanding of her environment and she is not very willing until she have no choice but adapt.
Writing: 4/5
Story: 3.9/5 First, I'd like to say this story is slowly breaking my heart, in a good way. Grammar is almost perfect, just a few instances of misspelling and awkward word choices (and even I found it difficult to find more suitable wordings for those instances). The writing is fairly well done with a good flow and easy to read structures. The story is not extraordinary in-and-of-itself, but the way it is told is able to capture your interest and keep you wondering what comes next. The way the story unfolds, aside from the more fantastic nature of the Fantasy setting and initial reincarnation, is very believable. Nothing that the MC does is beyond the scope of her actual knowledge, and what she does not know exactly she experiments with to find a suitable solution for. The part that breaks my heart is her illness and how it affects herself and those around her. I really want for there to be a happy ending, but I just have this nasty little fear that this story can only end with her death. All in all, I am closely following this series and hoping (practically begging) for a happy ending (I saw no Tragedy Tag, so my hopes should not be in vain).
