Alright, so I don't really have time to read LNs usually, but I just want to recognize the amount of work that went into those nomination graphics. Even if AI is doing a lot of the art, it took time to do all the composition. Well done!
Looking over these, I wonder if Bookworm is worth reading...
Thanks. You wouldn’t believe the amount of labor I’ll do just to not do any actual work.
After working on them the whole day yesterday I started to get frustrated with Photoshop and the name labels had to suffer my dissatisfaction. I’ll post the mean ones after the awards as a bonus.
Ps.: yes. Bookworm is really, really good.
+1 for bookworm
"our little librarian can't possibly be this cute!" - basically every fan of the series
Looking over these, I wonder if Bookworm is worth reading...
It is, I sat on the fence so long as I enjoyed the Anime but was worried I might not enjoy the LN. But it is great and add lots of great moments.
If your tight on time Part 1 and Part 2 are very close to the Anime. There are little bits you will miss but I don’t remember them being really important to the story, just bits of extra worldbuilding. But I would recommend reading the extra chapters from the last volume in Part 2.
I think I will pick up Death March so I could at least with clear conscience tell that Bookworm is the best.
Please do. If it were a character it would be the super comfy and pon onee-san that is always trying to convince everyone that she's actually an isekai action hero. But she is super unconvincing and everyone is just benevolently smiling at her and nodding along because they like her so much and don't want to hurt her feelings: "yes, yes. You're such a hero... now where do you think we should go camping today, sweetie?"
This is amazingly well done. Love seeing all the nominations too. More things to add to my reading list.
Abuse of Power!
Keeping Poochi and Tama off the nominations! Their power is too great, you knew they would have a flawless victory so you kept them down!
Now seriously, Love the nomination boards/pictures? Just don’t lose your job by spending too much time on them.
The Antagonists being dominated by Bookworm. I didn’t think Ferdinand would make it, he was a bit of a long short for my nominations. (There’s not many Antagonists when you read fluff)
erwearmen isn't an antagonist though? at worst, an antihero, methinks. :P
Ferdinand DEFINITELY wasn't an antagonist either lmao, that title goes to hannelore's brother (whatshisface, lieb-something? idr lol), he was definitely a total antagonist throight the series rofl
he(?) only wanted to keep the country alive... myne just was a doofus about it lol
You're looking for Lestilaut. No he wasn't an antagonist. Just a grumpy artist and closet chuuni.
As for Erwaermen, please refer to last week's Midweek where I had to educate @[email protected] about why Erwarmen is a better antagonist than that stupid goddess of his.
Oh dems fighting words! Lol
Actually really looking forward to diving into Bookworm. Right after I finish Dating Sim.
okay yeah, that's fair.
You got Karion and Urion through. Don’t be greedy.
don’t lose your job
They’ll never know. I looked very busy while doing those. :)

Benno taught me if you can make money, make as much as you can. I assume same applies for nominations?
That sounds about right.
