Nobody reads this far down right? I'll just shill for J-Novel Club a bit because I love that they sell DRM free Ebooks. Go buy the series from their website.

This ended up much bigger than I expected, but oh well. - Rozemyne

Got this little gem today so might as well share it with you all. I really like how they did her hair, that's some 10/10 work right there imo.

Finally downloaded and processed the last Volume of Bookworm from J-Novel. What a way to end the series.

Rozemyne fell unconscious upon completing her large-scale spell. Now it falls to Ferdinand to bring her back from the brink of death. If she succumbs to her lack of mana, her death will mean the worst for her loved ones and the country at large.

The harspiel concert is just around the corner, and there’s much to be prepared. Programs, songs, a last-minute expansion... Meanwhile, a slight misunderstanding leads to a contest between two smiths, who compete to make the best waxing machine.

Before I get into this I apologize for giving you all a heart attack. Actually no, I know what I am doing with that title, suffer!

Unfortunately the main story of Ascendance of a Bookworm released its last Pre-Pub chapter last week and with it a stop to the very regular weekly discussion threads. Obviously we will have Side Stories to look forward to, however those won't provide nearly the same regularity as the main story did.

Up until now the Pre-Pub threads have been the main driver behind activity on the instance and the closure of the story then opens the question of what will happen to this place going forward. First of all this instance will likely not be disappearing. I have my only active lemmy account on here and since I have 0 real hosting costs I have no problem keeping this going indefinitely, I also think it might be an opportunity to change things up a bit. However first and foremost this is a place for you all, not for me alone, so your opinion about what should or should not happen to this instance weigh a bit more than my own. As such I (with input from ludrol, btw thanks for always being there for me to push decisions onto) have compiled a survey about that topic. Do feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments as well though.

With that out of the way I'd like to express a sincere thanks for all the fun discussions we've had here so far, I genuinely enjoyed every moment of them and look forward to more of them.

Source and explanation:https://old.reddit.com/r/HonzukiNoGekokujou/comments/1epe57c/p5v12_clustering_all_chapters_in_the_main_story/

TL;DR: All chapters are clustered using the lemmatized word frequencies (color). Then, they are then plotted in a way such that chapters with similar word frequency signatures are put closer to each other, and vice versa.

Basically, the plot shows the relationship of the chapters: how close they are to one another. For example, the bottom right mostly involves commoners, no books, no magic. The top left is very different, all chapters there involve nobles, magic, and Myne now has access to books or the library to some extent. The bottom left mostly includes the end of Part 5, the war, the gods, and the Book. It is very different from the commoner time, but also not quite as peaceful as the time in the Royal Academy of top left. The chapters from the same volume aren't necessarily clustered together, either. For example, the Epilogue of P5V12 is a lot more similar to Parts 1 and 2. In fact, the cluster with P5V12 Epilogue mostly contains chapters about one's future or promises.
