My Rankings:
10- The best of the best. These are usually on the same level as my 9's, but they just have something special about them that make them my all time favorites.
9- Overachiever. These series go above and beyond. I will nonstop gush about these series whenever they are brought up in conversation. These series are a must watch/read.
8- This is the line a series must cross for me to consider it great. If a series is this good, it gets on my Top series of the year list. I would recommend any of these shows to people.
7- An overall good series. Its at least worth checking out if it catches your eye.
6- Slightly above average. Its got its flaws for sure, but the positives outweigh its negatives. Depending on how it handles its subject matter, it could be worth recommending to people, even if I personally didn't care much for it.
5- Mediocre. This is the minimum level that a series should strive for. Its positives and negatives counteract each other.
4- Slightly below average. Has more negatives than positives. Series just fell flat for me.
3- Bad + Boring. If its gonna be bad, at least be entertaining enough to hold my attention.
2- Awful. Has too many negatives to count. Might have 1 or 2 minor redeeming factors that justify its existence. Avoid anyway.
1- Was painful to sit through. I honestly don't know why it exists. Most likely as a way of torture.

The build up is WAY WAY WAY too slow, and the comedy is not entertaining enough (in my opinion), I understand fans of the novels that know how it is going to change in a couple episodes, but if an anime consists of 5+ episodes that are practically sleep-inducing at the start, I can't see it doing well overall.
And I understand the differences between the Slime Isekai and this one, I was just mentioning how the "great sage"-like character telling what skills you are getting, and the whole CONCEPT is similar, but Slime does it way faster and reaches the entertainment faster too. I am hopeful though, for the main part of the story, since the novels are pretty highly rated.
Thank you!! Keep in mind my review is my opinion, so please try not to be offended lol
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Before I watched this series, I had no clue about medieval times but people told me that this is what they were like but still I think they should've stuck with her making books. I was interested in seeing how she was going to make her own library being a sickly commoner. This show has become way too depressing because I was expecting the series to only touch on deadly illnesses as a dramatic theme but now it touches on bullying, childhood trauma, abuse, and corrupt leadership and most of these topics make me uncomfortable when watching an anime.
I know that these orphans have been through a lot and they actually showed some character growth but that doesn't excuse that they did not need all this melodrama with specifically recruiting orphans aka traumatized kids to work at a church.
Why, why did they have to make Myne laugh at something stupid just so that she can discover a library and end up deciding to work at the church? They might as well have not got children baptized at age 7. Even in medieval times, they mostly baptized children at birth, they didn't have a ceremony for 7 year olds to get baptized. She should've just said no to working at the church because it's too mean-spirited for her and just dropped out and continued making books. Might as well not have her encounter church at all. I don't care if it's a different world like that tv show, they should've just took this whole church thing out.
