Avid bookworm and college student Motosu Urano ends up dying in an unforeseen accident. This came right after the news that she would finally be able to work as a librarian as she had always dreamed of. When she regained consciousness, she was reborn as Main, the daughter of a poor soldier. She was in the town of Ehrenfest, which had a harsh class system. But as long as she had books, she didn't really need anything else. However, books were scarce and belonged only to the nobles. But that doesn't stop her, so she makes a decision... "If there aren't any books, I'll just create some."

This was one of those must watch Slice of Life anime(s). Character animation was very unique and lovable. It started off as a anime for books but later became a bit of trade based anime. Plot was very heart-warming, especially of the last episode of Season 1. **Edit:** Now I've watched Season 2 but I still need more. Hoping for more seasons.

It does have a slower start, but the story is well thought out, well written, and before you know it you're totally hooked. I like that it doesn't get stuck just repeating the same thing repeatedly; the story progresses, and it makes sense as it all unfolds. At the start I kindof liked it, and by the end of season 3 it's become one of my all-time favorites.

Got to be honest, I didn't quite like it but the story dragged me in and now I'm invested. While the show trys to be upbeat, it has some pretty dark undertones (probably due to the nature of the original work). It doesn't shy away from the reality of classism and lack of widespread education. There were times where I was waiting for the protagonist to rail against the inequality and manipulation when instead, she simply accepts it for what it is. This show is certainly a slice-of-life, it simply isn't the kind of life I'd like to be living in. Regardless, I'm looking forward to see how the story unfolds. The shows obviously well thought-out with interesting characters.
