Ascendance of a Bookworm Season 3 A note about my style of reviews They are written as if I were talking about the anime to a friend when I use // that lets you know I am about to move on to the next topic I wanted to mention This season is like a slingshot end to Mynes life as a commoner // I was so happy when the guard ended coming to be Mynes bodyguard for a year I trust him with my life that man will never let Myne get hurt if he can help it // Sylvester showing up was not a character I expected and at first I hated him I definitely thought he was just a stuck up noble who could do what he wants and get away with it and you know thats not totally false I was not expecting the twist with him LOL like after he gave the stone to Myne I was like oh okay this guy is just gonna come swoop in giga save the day all flashy like and its gonna be a cool moment after him being a funny guy for a few eps BOY WAS I WRONG LMAO // The high priest and that noble tried to banish Myne from the church but her father body guard and Fran fought off the bad guys and then she let her mana run loose and stopped the fighting thankfully Ferdinand walked in aura farming the room and ratiod them both then enters Sylvester for the giga bomb shell Turns out he is the lord of the domain and Ferdinand is his half brother LOL what a W duo I cant express to you how much I enjoy all the male role models in her life like I didnt think we could top Ferdinand but Sylvester did it we have Otto Benno Gunther Ferdinand Sylvester SO MANY AMAZING FATHER FIGURES // Sadly the final 5 mins of this season ripped my heart out. Myne had to leave her family and become the lords daughter. The goodbyes with her family gutted me her sister brought tears to my eyes her mom made it hard to see but the moment she hugged her dad and said she wished she could marry him I lost it Gunther said he was sorry he couldnt protect her better and that killed me. Hes a commoner with no magic but he did his best to the very end he was prepared to die at every corner for her having to never talk to their daughter again and never act like they know her in public hurts. I cant imagine the pain its basically like she died. Now shes headed to the lords home her new home. Looking back at everything that has happened I could understand why people would be upset that she chose to live with Sylvester but between her inability to take care of herself at home and the number of times she has endangered her family it only makes sense that it is time for her to move on Its gutting but I do believe it was the right move seeing Gunther in so much pain however is never fun he lost his daughter after everything I hope he doenst hate himself deep down.
