The Virtual Asylum

You must mean last volume of part one, daughter of a soldier. Imo the most boring part, shrine maiden's apprentice is much more interesting and duke's adopted daughter is my personal favorite.

Who was your favorite character so far?

Otto was an after thought in the anime, so he has a surprising amount of presence in the first books. I wouldn’t say he’s my favorite, but it was surprising.

I do have a favorite one off character and that’s the merchant that she hides behind and discovers that there are books in the world, she bows and grovels to him and in return he shoots her a look of pure fucking disgust and she has to fully reassess the new world she’s found herself in.

Otto? That's certainly a choice... I honestly forgot he even existed...

Really, I was just surprised he was given stuff to do as he’s just a bridge character. Not my favorite.

Myne is my favorite so far, her dark thoughts caught me off guard and she isn’t some super wonderkind that she’s portrayed in the anime, as she really struggles to get things right.

Also, her hating the food because of the lack of spices is a nice touch.
