Although, and this is a big part of the appeal of the early episodes of #AscendanceOfABookworm, Main’s family makes up for a lot.
You don’t often see loving families like this in anime, and Main’s parents and her sister Tuuli are just fabulous.
Taking another look at the early episodes of #AscendanceOfABookworm and Main’s desperation for something, ANYTHING, to read in those early episode is palpable.
This show is a reincarnation #isekai but very much NOT generic slop.

“Would you be in a good mood?” Rozemyne asked Ferdinand.
It was a fair question, considering the dark circles under his eyes from spending three days in his private study. A question met with a skeptical look as he took in the baked goods and tea set out on the table.
“I'm not in the mood for taste-testing. Ask a courtier; they will be happy to help,” was his reply.
“Oh, no. Hannelore sent these: rose-scented tea and cookies that their chief has invented. They're nice, like lemon drops. It's kind of like a White Day gift.”
“I’m tired, but we need to talk later in your private room.”
Rozemyne frowned. Private discussions were never good.
“She sent you #present too,” Rozemyne ventured, producing a white handkerchief. “She even embroidered it, a cute cornflower entwined with an edelweiss.”
Her husband sank into a chair and gulped down a cup of tea, notwithstanding its temperature.
“Rozemyne, is this what you want?”
“No, it’s for you.”
“Rozemyne! Not the present, are you a total idiot!? They mistook your gifts for a marriage proposal. Since Hannelore can’t marry you, they assume you intend for her to become my second wife.”
“What? A marriage proposal?”
“Obviously that at the next Council of Aubs, Klassenberg will approach me about this. If this is what you want, I will signal my agreement. It wouldn’t hurt to have a stronger alliance with Klassenberg. But if I accept, she becomes your responsibility. I have no interest in a second wife.”
Ferdinand rose. “Think about it. I will get your answer later.”
Rozemyne watched him leave. “Marry Hannelore? My book-buddy? Like one of those yuri romances from my former life? Humm…”

Ferdinand opened the red box and looked inside. “At least they aren't coach beetles,” he said. If Rozemyne had been expecting him to be excited, she was disappointed.
“Are you going to try them?” she asked.
He took a red, heart-shaped cookie and nibbled on it, nodded, and spoke. “Not bad. We should declare a monopoly on the sale of desert heart leaves. I am sure others can copy these, but if we control the prime ingredient, it will bring wealth to the duchy.
He popped the rest of the cookie into his mouth, not letting a crumb fall on his outfit.
Rozemyne smiled; that was as good as a compliment.
The aub’s eyes gleamed as her husband took out another cookie. This was as good as it got in terms of receiving praise from Ferdinand.
“Who else did you give these to?” he asked.
“Just Hannelore,” she replied. Ferdinand froze mid-bite.

“Lady Sorrona would like to approach,” Cordula said to Hannelore.
Hannelore had successfully dodged Sorrona for the last three days on instructions from home. She’d come to the commons early today, thinking Sorrona wouldn’t be there yet, but she arrived seconds after Hannelore had taken a seat. Her bad timing had struck again.
“Can’t I say I’m too busy?” Hannelore asked.
“I’ll tell her you only have a few moments to spare. But saying no when you're clearly relaxing would cause an open breach. We’re in a public place, and you’re rumored to be on excellent terms with her. Let's not give the other duchies a hint of our concerns. They will try to take advantage of it.”
“Very well.”
Sorrona approached, and after a fulsome greeting, presented Cordula with a red box for Hannelore. Scarlet ribbons adorned the present, with a carnelian at each ribbon tip. The box itself made a stunning present.
“I hear Dregarnuhr, the Goddess of Time, has woven your threads exceptionally short today, but when you have time, please partake of the contents,” Sorrona said, curtsying.
“Thank you,” Hannelore said, putting on her best smile.
She continued, “It seems Dregarnuhr, the Goddess of Time, has woven today’s threads with exceptional speed and grace.” Then she quickly withdrew.
Once Hannelore was back in her chambers, Cordula checked the box and handed it to her. Inside were light-red heart-shaped cookies. Each one had a “desert heart” leaf pressed into its surface.
“From Wilfried?” Hannelore asked hopefully. It was a #figment a of hope since Sorrona was from the Duchy of Alexandria, while Wilfried remained in Ehrenfest. But perhaps Rozemyne was acting on her brother’s behalf, Hannelore thought desperately.
Cordula crushed those hopes. “It’s from Aub Rozemyne, my lady. I fear you must make your feelings clear to your parents soon about a match with Ferdinand. The present we return must reflect the direction we wish to take. We can no longer ignore their overtures. #Stasis is not an option.”
