Ascendance of a Bookworm: In Order to Become a Librarian, I Can't Afford to Choose My Methods — Part One, "Daughter of a Soldier I," Synopsis
A college student who has loved books since childhood is caught in an accident and reborn in an unfamiliar world.
She awakens as Myne, a sickly five-year-old girl born into a poor soldier's family.
On top of that, literacy is low in this world, and books are almost nonexistent.
No matter how much she wants to read, books are far too expensive for her to obtain. So Myne makes a decision: if there aren't any, she'll just have to make them herself! Her goal: to become a librarian.
To live surrounded by books, she'll start by making books herself!
