Ascendance of a Bookworm: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke #18 just came out, and fans had plenty to say.
Honestly, seeing Damuel actually step up for real only to get completely brushed off as a joke is peak comedy, but Elvira weaponizing fanfiction printing is the real power move here.

Ascendance of a Bookworm, wait, the High Priest returning to nobility route just dropped?! An age gap marriage with Myne is wild tho! They both deny it but their chemistry is off the charts lol. Meanwhile Brigitte and Damuel are actually getting somewhere. Totally just a setup to get those two closer together—oi, commoner boy…

Gibe Haldenzel, I trust your sincerity. Looking forward to the first plant-paper workshop. And thanks to the merchant saint, book sales are gonna be through the roof lol. Plus Elvira trying to set up a printing workshop right in her hometown just to get art of Lord Ferdi… sasuga merchant saint's mom lmao.

"Selling a photobook-style item of Ferdinand is prohibited." "A ban has been issued regarding Rozemyne." "Rozemyne cannot sell it." Which means… if someone else does it instead?? Leave it to Mother!
Commenter
That bonus illustration knight looks way too much like Ferdinand lmao. Apparently it's been decided that Rozemyne has nothing to do with this officially. But the stepmom is already hyped enough to probably use it as spank material lol.
Commenter
"Looking like the High Priest, but completely an imaginary character, huh?" Basically amateur 2D fanart irl! And on the day of Comiket too, dropping this kind of joke is top-tier max!
Commenter
Is there some connection between Ferdinand and Angelica? Both are gorgeous and have that rare, stunning blue hair color.
Commenter
"As for me…?" Huh? "You're quite the villainous one yourself, aren't you?" Wait, didn't schemes like that usually get found out and earn you a scolding?
Commenter
"This is your fault." Syl tickling Rozema's cheek lmao (Called it❗️) "P… puihh?" lmao.
Commenter
Literally feels like a minor having trouble distributing adult doujinshi, so they have someone else pretend to be the circle owner lmao.
Commenter
That evil grin from parent and child in the last shot! Smooth business move looking for loopholes. Mom's not sparing any effort either!
Commenter
"You didn't tell your older sister that your uncle passed away?" Syl is so useless lol just slumped over~~~~
Commenter
If matching magic power is the real issue, wouldn't it just solve everything if Rozemyne and Ferdinand hooked up?
Commenter
Magic power compatibility, huh. Ah. He actually said it! Problem child?! Teasing them lol, their banter is too in sync.
Commenter
Dropping an episode like this on the exact day Ariake is going wild… Bookworm is ruthless lol.
Commenter
Ahhh, here they go cooking up sketchy merch againww Definitely Ferdinand would never make a face like that w.
Commenter
Episode 18 C-part. Yep, totally fictional. Definitely NOT a certain person whose name starts with Fe~🤣
Commenter
Damuel really gotta grind his magic power up for a whole year and prove he's serious now.
Commenter
The exact moment Haldenzel was crowned as Ferdinand's primary doujin base.
Commenter
If Ferdinand finds out about the knight romance novel, he's gonna totally snap again……
Commenter
Wild how Rozema actually has a chance of matching Ferdi's magic power pool at this point.
Commenter
So basically: "It's Ferdinand, but totally not Ferdinand," got it.
Commenter
"Mother… as for me—" "No way for Rozemyne."www
Commenter
…Plotting to make absolute bank via secondary creation doujin mail-order, Rozemyne…
Commenter
He's totally her ride-or-die, but at this point what's the actual age gap with the High Priest?!
Commenter
Awakening through "Know your station"! Go get 'em, Damuel!
Commenter
Damuel showed absolute Chad energy, but Brigitte didn't think he was serious at all lmao.
Commenter
Mother, it's total fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons is purely coincidental!
Commenter
As long as you write "Definitely not Ferdinand," it's totally safe, right?
Commenter
Rozemyne and Ferdinand are honestly a surprisingly good match.
Commenter
Treating Ferdinand's portrait like actual drug smuggling lol.
Commenter
The C-part with the disclaimer that it's fictional and not based on real people.
Commenter
That is 100% Lord Ferdinand right there 💕 Elvira-sama 😆
Commenter
Poison even?! At this point it's not even bullying, it's attempted murder.
Commenter
Bro, you've gotten way too good at playing actual politics now…
Commenter
Myne's blessings now take literally less than a second to cast…
Commenter
Rozemyne being completely oblivious to fancy aristocratic euphemisms lol.
Commenter
Bruh, they actually ran with the "totally fictional" defense lmao wwww
Commenter
Ferdinand's terrible habit of completely ignoring his own well-being is showing again.
Commenter
You gotta keep that setting sacred, Mom w.
Commenter
Sylvester already looking completely done with life as he teleports in w.
Commenter
Damuel getting completely lost staring at Brigitte is too cute www
