It's upsetting

The manga is a total mess on what I found

@Stanleyliam1990 well after digging around for me info all the parts are getting adapted at the same time reason being they're all month had their done it one at a time it would have taking decades to publish it all so by the time season 3 comes out in 2026 the manga part 2 and three should be done

@mydaddy the LN is available legally why don't you just read the original material which is the LN?
Here link for it.

@Otakupervert890 I'm not a big fan of light novels plus I only recently started to read more mangas so if I'm.going to read a novel it'll be later down the road

But thanks I'll save the link

@mydaddy
unfortunately, it's the best LN out there, so if you read it, everything else will seem terrible by comparison. I suggest not reading it, it's too good.

@LegatoBlues for real unless you want to ruin litteraly every other light novel, dont read bookworm untill you're a more seasoned reader. I had to move to american novels after bookworm.

@evilchris "I had to move to american novels after bookworm."

Wow. Was that meant to be a step up? Lol. Like Twilight and such? Promising, my gosh.

@Nox--- naw like wheel of time, the expanse, and discworld. Why would you assume something stupid like twilight? Im not 15, or do you just assume American books are bad because you never read a good one.

@Nox--- Was there any point in saying that to a pointless statement though? "Japanese anime is good, American shows are bad, Japanese Manga is bad, American Books are good." Those kinds of statements are pretty much pointless as they try to make something seem as if it's the case when it's really something too large to be described as such. Every country, everywhere, has "bad" works originating from it and good works. There's lots of good and bad novels from Japan and America, a "this country has bad novels" or "this country can't make good movies" or "this country makes better shows" etc is a bad statement no matter what. The only thing that matters towards whether something is good or bad is the one making it, in this case the author, the "country" the book or story is from means absolutely nothing to whether or not it's good or bad.


Personally I find that these days no matter where you go novels aren't that different in quality. It's always the same thing of digging through a maze full of "Decent, Good, Amazing, Bad" or other "quality" of stories trying to find the ones that are good in a sea of novels that has literally everything under the sun.

@MewsicMagic naw ive just read sooooo many light novels so after finishing bookworm any light novel i read next would have been compared and not appreciated as much as it could have been. I switched to american novels because they are fundamentally different.

Not sure where you might have got the idea i was putting down or praising either. I only praised bookworm as the masterpiece it is.

@evilchris I was more so responding to Nox who kinda said American novels weren't better (though it seems like he might've meant it as a joke), not just your statement, though it definitely might seem like there isn't anything better than bookworm in Japanese novels simply because you haven't found it yet. I absolutely understand just wanting a change in content to keep yourself from getting bored or making comparisons and don't want everything to feel "worse" than bookworm. There's soo many books out there from all across the world that someone could spend their whole live reading and still not get close to reading everything. So one thing I can GARUNTEE is that there's Japanese novels as good or even better than bookworm out there, it might be a little harder to find them but they're out there. It's not because I've read a mountain of better novels than bookworm, but rather there's soo many out there I KNOW someone else has made novels that good or even better.


As a suggestion for a novel try reading the "Yatagarasu Series" novels if you can, it's not translated at all I don't believe, so you'll have to find it and read in it Japanese as of right now. It got an anime adaption under the name "The Raven Does Not Choose It's Master" and the anime adaption seems pretty good and is quite accurate so as a start to get into the series you could also try watching the anime, though it doesn't get very far into the novels with the 1 season it had. It was basically a hidden gem no one seemed to watch on MAL but I've heard the series is very popular in Japan if that gives any indication of the series' reception.

There's also Manga that doesn't originate from a novel to read for a change of pace, like xxxHolic which is absolutely worth a try any day of the week. Shadow's House is an excellent mystery if that's more what you like. I've heard really good things about Witch Hat Atelier but I haven't really read it myself. Tsubasa Chronicle is a masterpiece of a impactful story which needs a redone anime adaption one of these days. Yona of the Dawn is really popular though I didn't personally find it to be as good as it was made out to be but YMMV.


I mean this all my opinion as what you personally like is probably different than me, but try giving some of those series a shot to see how you like them, I haven't fully completed the bookworm novels but I don't feel as if most of those are much worse (if at all) than bookworm.

@MewsicMagic so you're a shill? Dont speak of something better then bookworm just to say its not translated. To me that's a clear sign its not indeed better. If it were there would be at least a fan translation.

@Nox--- naw like wheel of time, the expanse, and discworld. Why would you assume something stupid like twilight? Im not 15, or do you just assume American books are bad because you never read a good one.

Sir pTerry (GNU) learned how to blacksmith so he could make his own sword after he got his knighthood. I think that is the best little story to explain how his writing worked, when his stories went to a specific subject he'd intensely learn about the subject to he could pepper knowledge, punes ;) and in jokes directly from that subject.
I miss his writing terribly, much like the Zelda series he helped me grow and become a better person.
