本好きの下剋上~司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません~第一部「兵士の娘1」

Thoughts on the story: I went into this blind - only knowing that it was very popular but not knowing anything about the plot - and it worked out really well! The story is primarily slice of life, peppered by Myne's attempts to find and recreate books in her new world, as well as her adjusting to her new life. There were a few points where the plot moved forward in more significant ways, such as learning to read and working for Otto in the middle and meeting Otto's merchant friend at the end, as well as the very intriguing epilogue. I found Myne's adjustment to her new life compelling and more realistic than many isekai protagonists, and the world building is relatively slow but definitely interesting. I'll definitely be reading book two! 4.5 stars.

Thoughts on the Japanese used: I've read several books at or above level 30, so this was pretty easy to read, especially with the audiobook. I looked up a word every couple of pages, since there is technical vocabulary related to making books, cooking, and daily life as a commoner (i.e., sewing and weaving, hunting and gathering, etc.)
