Ascendance of a Bookworm

2019
Comedy, Drama
TV Series
A book-obsessed woman dies before achieving her dream job as a librarian. She wishes that, whatever happens to her, she can read. So, she's transported into the body of a young girl named Main in an impoverished family in a world without the printing press (as well as several other modern technologies). With even paper, let alone books, being absurdly expensive beyond her reach, and with little at her disposal, she'll do anything to read in this charmingly detailed world-built slice-of-life.

Cute! It’s refreshing to see a historical isekai where the main character isn’t born upper class and has to work their way up. All she wants is books, but it takes a lot of work in a medieval society to get to the point of not only knowing how to read, but also how to make paper, make ink, make it affordable, and make it mass produce able. The show really explores all those elements, which is why it is so interesting.
