What a unique twist to your typical isekai anime! The episode is pretty slow-paced and the animation style doesn't stand out much, but I look forward to learning more about our little bookworm, Myne, and how she navigates her new life.

I don't want to say this is bad, especially since this is just the first episode. The pacing felt rushed, as if banking the audience already familiar with isekai genre. The animation is lackluster, some doesn't match the tone of the scene. Myne acts like she has selective memory.

The chapter starts it felt a bit harsh, but I guess it was just because I was expecting more of an introduction, but I liked it how they moved to the beginning of the story, the construction of the world is simple as it's basically old Europe, but I like it the realism here

This is quite unique anime, it feels original and fresh since it is about a girl who loves book so much. I really love the pacing for the first episode, it tells the story slowly that viewers can understand each and every detail. Also I love the character design of each character

This episode was quite slow in nature, with little developments outside establishing the MC and her environment. It wasn't a particularly enjoyable watch, but it wasn't bad either. The contrast between MC's implied, lavish past life(?) and her current one is cool though.

The main character, Myne, and her motivations in this world are really unique and stand out in a good way1 I wanna know why she finds so much attachment within books though; maybe they will explain in future episodes.

Interesting premise and characters. it feels like it will take the route of being a DIY project or Main spreading knowledge to the world, both of which will be quite fun to watch!

This anime feels like a niche isekai with a unique premise. The main character Myne comes across as strong-minded and resourceful. The anime builds her limited world slowly, starting in a small, dark room and gradually revealing what's to come. It's refreshingly different!
