Alms of the gods is given to all orphans fairly regardless of their contribution to the church. The second smartest thing that she did to drill this ethic deep down to the orphans is when she gave alms of the gods to Wilma alone in front of everyone. Everyone will do their work properly since they know their effort will be rewarded justly. Not only is she instilling a sense of fairness among the attendants, she is promoting good work ethics as well. So instead of demanding that everyone treat her like a noble, she did what she could do at that point in time - by giving a reward to those who did their job well. She’s doing this at first since the grey-robed can’t see past Myne’s background as a commoner. So when Myne insists that they see their current title as a job instead, I was clapping my hands (in my head). But Lutz interjected that Gil did nothing to deserve being fed. Gil is demanding that Myne feed him like what is expected of her to do as his master.
#ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM SEASON 2 SERIES#
Season 2 is such a different take in this isekai world, it renewed my interest in the series as a whole. Now, here’s an entirely new environment she needs to adjust to. She’s mature only due to her life experiences before she died. Being a commoner even back when she was still Motosu Urano prevented Myne from seeing things from the noble’s perspective. Nobles aren't all talk, you need to act like one too.

We see the hardship from the orphans and the hidden side to being a noble. Then season 2 switches from talking about life in downtown to a life in church. Myne began to enjoy her lifestyle here despite not having any books to read.

With knowledge from her previous life, she first tried to improve the quality of life for her family and from thereon, everything changed. We see her struggling to adjust to her new body with Myne’s friends and families. Season 1 acts as an introduction to the world where Motosu Urano is reincarnated in.

There’s just so much to love about Honzuki no Gekokujou, or better known as Ascendance of a Bookworm.
