Right? It's crazy to look at how many episodes there already are and realize they haven't even approached the really good stuff yet. |

Bookworm certainly is one of those stories that just gets better and better and better. Strange for a story that started entirely in one room with a sickly child.

Really curious to see what happens to Dirk. I hope it's just chicken pox which he may survive. His chances would be pretty slim if it's measles or smallpox. Maybe he can be cured with magic? Of course, commoners wouldn't have access to that resource which explains why Myne's parents lost so many children.
Myne presumably understands the germ theory of disease, a concept likely very alien to the culture in which she now lives. Whether she can use that knowledge to help Dirk is an open question. I wouldn't be surprised if Myne's parents have faced this same situation in the past. |

I pre-paid for all the LN books, including the ones not scheduled to be released until a lot later this year. I have free downloads and do not have to pay for the story.
BUT DAMN, it is so good I have only one thing to say, "Take my money ,please. Just keep writing!". This is one of the few Mange/Anime/LN that I think is really worth my money. It is not just the details, it is the careful thoughts in it's development that put it over the top. |

Completely agree. Everyone in my household is reading (and sometimes rereading) the books, and we bought both the kindle and the physical versions. It's a wonderful story that just keeps getting better. There are some scenes that just SO need to be animated, in what would be S4 and beyond. But the books and anime complement each other very well. |

I love the level of detail Bookworm goes into and that the adaptation hasn't chopped so much out as to break the story.
BTW : Dirk has spoiler[ the devouring.] |

I wondered when that issue came up upon Dirk's arrival if that job might eventually fall on Myne's mom. |

Two thoughts on episode 33.
First, the colour palette and BGM are very subdued this week, to the point I had to check I didn't have my monitor still set to HDR mode (where SDR content looks washed out). They're definitely giving a more downbeat twist to the mood. Second, the post-credits sequence is worth watching carefully this week. I can't remember exactly, but I think it's explaining a concept that the light novels didn't get to for a little while yet. spoiler[I'm not sure they'd have done that sequence if they didn't have the possibility of season 4 in mind.] |

I wonder if the dyes are as much of a trade secret as the paints...

I'm doing the same (except pre-ordering). I'm reading it as it's posted on J-Novel Club and buying the Kindle version as a new one becomes available. And of course I have BD of the anime that's been released. Have to keep supporting such a great story so we'll keep getting more of it and hopefully it'll be successful enough to inspire similar stories with such detailed world building and intricate plotting without the isekai power tripping. |

Probably. They have a guild system and medieval guilds were quite protective of their techniques. It helped insure their members could make a living since they didn't have patent or copyright systems. |

I actually lol'd when my man Ferdinand slid in with that "Ya'know, if you hurried up with this adoption thing yourself you could save this cute, innocent babe."
The way he just immediately dangled Dirk as leverage against Myne's decision to postpone her own adoption with a straight face was hilarious. |

Going back up thread a bit, since I’ve been a bit behind on this series:
I notice that a lot of Ferdinand’s explanation of the potential social upheavals from printing revolves around his asking Myne what happened in our world at that time. Makes it clear that she knows this stuff, but hasn’t been properly thinking through how it applies to her own actions. |

Myne's an admirable character but a bit selfish. She's really focused on creating books to satiate her hunger to read. She never thinks about the broader social implications of her actions though she's clearly on a path to upend this world. |
