Female protagonist. I’m pretty sick of the mainstream shonen power isekai so I’m jumping around female protagonist stories. Asendance of a bookworm was such a joy.
Starts as a granted power isekai. OP just wants a slow life but gets a power to make potions in a world with basically no magic so she’s chased for her healing potions.
Best part is the MC isn’t some scared timid little girl. She’s fairly smart and gets revenge on people who try to take advantage of her. At the same time she chose potion creation as her power because she wants to help people.
Then she tries to sneakily help people which causes nobles/merchants to hunt her down. It’s a vicious cycle and quite entertaining.
Finished volume 11. They went through a time skip and got a bit of a reset on her being chased for her potions. But once again she can’t live staying under the radar and almost immediately starts getting hunted for potions / money.
The MC makes some dumb choices but thats just her quirk and it leads to fun outcomes. She’s also stubborn with her physical appearance. I understand her stance in not permanently changing her physical appearance.
She really should temporarily change her height or age when she disguises herself to aid in hiding. Just needs a dress that goes down to her ankles that still fits to her knees when she gains height.
I really enjoy when the MC rampages. Piss her off and you’re in for a world of hurt. Not many novels show the wrath of a woman. Be nice and you’ll be gifted many times over. Be evil she ruins the lives of the corrupt nobels/merchants.
I only remember the authors of recurring series that I liked enough to keep reading. I only recognize authors of series with 2-3 volumes if they have another long-running series from which I know the name. Or if the name stands out somehow. For example, I’m currently reading Min-Maxing My TRPG Build and I know the author’s name not only because it’s a long-running series that I like but also because he uses a German word as his handle. Stuff like that. On the flip side, I have problems remembering the names of authors that have a generic Japanese-sounding name. That’s how I almost walked into the trap of reading Dimension Wave even though it’s from the Shield Hero writer.
Yeah, that’s pretty much my thing too. And if they have a really short pen name, it really sticks. That’s how I remember people like Llo (Reincarnated as a Sword artist) and FUNA… names so short they’re easy to remember and skill that sticks out. The two is basically brain glue that makes it stick. Although I keep trying to call FUNA “YUNA” for some reason. /shrug
Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay… even the entire world — has the following entries:

WElcome to the FUNA Fan CLub.
FUNA?
You read through 11 volumes without learning the author’s name?
Author. Gotcha.
I binged it in 3 days.
I’ve also read maybe 4 series in two weeks…
I really enjoy FUNA’s writing style.

How do you remember the authors?
I can only remember FUNA. I can’t even remember AOAB or Death Marchs authors.
