Ascendance of a Bookworm completed. Oh hey finally a Fall show that's just plain great! I liked pretty much everything about this (other than its slightly slow pacing - they probably could've fit the show into 13 episodes with any difficulty). Definitely the best isekai show I've watched in quite a while. It reminds me that having an OP protagonist is just stupid. Her power is her knowledge, and that's more than enough. On top of that, she has a terrible weakness, which makes her even more compelling. It's pretty neat to have a series where the protagonist can't even walk down the stairs without collapsing at first (and she doesn't even get particularly fit by the end of it!). The author understands that it's weakness that makes characters compelling most of the time.

The whole cast is pretty sweet. Myne is, of course, a great protagonist, and the rest fit in very well. Her whole family feels fairly real, and the adult characters are fun too, along with Lutz. The developments are basically constantly interesting. You definitely get the feeling of the MC struggling to make her way in thet world. Every triumph is delightful, and every failure is heartbreaking. Definitely looking forward to S2 here.
