About this ebook

With her baptism ceremony complete, Myne begins work in the temple as an apprentice shrine maiden. Awaiting within is what she always wanted: a room full of books! But her new life isn't quite the dream she was hoping for; she's surrounded by nobles who scorn her commoner origins, and even her own servants are causing her trouble. On top of that, she has to constantly battle the weakness of her own body. But with her love for books burning in her heart, she gives her all to her new apprentice duties. Thus begins part two of this bibliofantasy!

Ratings and reviews

I ended up reading this till past 4am but I just can't help but be drawn in on how Myne kind of pulls people into her whims. I love seeing the positive change she brought to the people around her. Also, there were some typos in the book but it was still understandable.

I started reading Part 2 after I finished episode 18. At first I thought that it would be hard to read this book, as someone who's native language is not english, but I was mistaken. This book is easy to read, and entertaining. I would recommend reading this book both to the people who already like the anime, and to the people wanting to read a fun isekai.

When Myne jump head first into the temple I thought the series is going downhill and she is going to quit the merchant life and instead joining the temple/religious life. But boy I am wrong, instead she quickly involved in educational and workshop stuff. I forgot that in the past the one who progress the scientific endeavours are the priests and stuff. And I think the reason why the author put Myne in the temple is with that kinda mindset.
