Sas [she/her]

“Ascendence of a bookworm” kinda. The main girl (and i mean girl. She’s literally a small child) is a bookworm reincarnated into a world were books are only for the higher class so she starts by making them herself and working herself into the higher class and the way it was going in the anime i predict she’ll do something about the class system. However the established class system is royals with magic and peasants and i fear she might replace it with capitalism instead but her heart is against classism so she might prove me wrong

It’s been a while but i remember it being a nice show

I agree, blue boy is giving me icky vibes and I almost quit the show before the end of the episode. I’ll maybe give it one more episode if I’m bored but it’s honestly too straight romance focused and thus falls into a lot of the “are the straights ok” pitfalls of icky stuff portrayed as normal and romantic even.

I’d say it’s fine to skip the original as like you said, the final arc of it will likely be covered in season 2 of the remake
