    Reincarnated as a sword - Volume 01 to 02 (Audiobook)

    It took some time to get use to the Narrator, but they have grown on me. I really want to enjoy the story but I am still not sure, it still hasn’t got its hooks into me. It might be that I find the fights to be a bit long and start to lose interest.

    Ascendance of a Bookworm - Part 3 - Volume 01 to 03

    After rewatching the anime I have continued to reread the LN.

    Ascendance of a Bookworm - Part 3 - Volume 3 spoilers

    When Myne became Rozemyne her family took her citizenship disc and put it on her grave. During the Hasse executions we learn that they are used to execute people.

    Isn’t leaving her disc the a huge risk? Veronica’s fraction dislike Myne and have a reason to get rid of her, wouldn’t they give anything to be able to get that disc and give it to Georgine to be destroyed?

    If they knew anything about the lower city and their customs they would be able to kill her anytime.

      Reincarnated as a Sword is probably my favorite LN but it admittedly does start out a bit slow. I think it starts to separate itself in book 3 and really starts to shine by book 5. Also, I don’t do audio books but I imagine the narrator can make or break a book.

        Yeah, I will continue it. I will probably switch to reading rather than listening as I find I only retain 50% of it when listening and working at the same time.

        I imagine the narrator can make or break a book.

        Yeah, some narrators are so bad that I will drop it immediately, alway listen to the sample when buying audiobooks.

        This narrator isn’t bad and I got use to him after a while, it was just a big change from Teachers English Dub VA. (It was the same with Spice and Wolf, Holos VA was the same for the audiobook and English Dub, but the audiobook didn’t have the haughtiness the anime did.)

        Also the VA does Frans hmpt very well.

      If I remember correctly: she would get a new one when she was baptised as Rosemyne the daughter of Karsted and step-daughter of Elvira in the same ceremony in which she then gets adopted by Silvester and Florencia. I would assume this overwrites the old coin or the first coin just doesn’t matter anymore since there is a spare. Certainly it’s not something Ferdinand et all would just miss.

        Yeah, that was my take too. It’s just it’s never specifically said. Probably because Myne is the first and last person it will happen to.
