    Welp. I guess that's the conclusion Shuzo Oshimi chose.

    I very much dislike that the last chapter and the author's note completely re-contexualize this entire goddamn series, but it also sort of explains the last few volumes and how they felt so disconnected from the entire rest of the series post-time jump. It explains it, but I still don't have to like it.

    The first part of this series is still fantastic, and the art is the true storyteller here. I just wish it ended better.

    Thoughts from Ch. 11 / 22%

    … it was Meredith who didn’t like having a personal assistant - not because she was too noble for it or something, but she really believed that nobody on earth could match her efficiency.

    Well god forbid a woman has hobbies!! Unfortunately, why am I Meredith in this scenario.

  • What's a book challenge you've been dying to try?

    I don't mean any of the ones like the staff have here like the quests and the readalongs (though they ARE great).

    I personally, have the 100 book bucket list on the go. Like the blue scratch off poster. I'm working on it slowly, mostly because I DO have a number of those books already in the physical TBR on my shelf. But if I get this done, I'm hoping to attempt the Rory Gilmore Challenge.

  • Roadmap, Feature Requests, and Enhancements [11/19/25]

    We have a new app release available on iOS and Android as of this afternoon! Please update your apps to see the following updates (also available on web):

    Public Roadmap We get a huge amount of feedback every day, and see all of your chatter in the Pagebound Club about requests and enhancements. One of our core values is transparency, and in that spirit we have released a public Roadmap to show everyone what we’re working on, what we have planned, and what has been released. Everyone can view this roadmap in the footer on web, or in the “more” menu on the app.

    Official Feature Requests On the Roadmap, you’ll see a link to Feature Requests. One benefit of joining Pagebound Royalty is that you can submit official feature requests, which we will mark as “approved” or “won't do,” each with an explanation. Once work has started on a request, it will move to the roadmap. Pagebound Royalty members also have the ability to comment and like both roadmap items and feature requests. We have pre-populated the roadmap with things we’re working on through the end of the year, and added our most popular requests to the Feature Request section. While we accept and read feedback from anyone, we do not have the bandwidth as a 2-person team to respond individually; the Roadmap will give everyone the ability to see what’s coming soon on Pagebound, give us a streamlined and efficient way to respond to requests, and the feedback form is still available at support.pagebound.co to anyone.

    Giveaways We've been working behind the scenes to put together a Giveaway offering which will go live early 2026. This means anyone on Pagebound will be able to enter Giveaways for physical, audio, and ebooks :) Authors of Pagebound: If you or anyone you know is looking for marketing opportunities, we'd love work with you! Check out https://support.pagebound.co/giveaways to learn more; we'd love if you shared this with your author communities as well!

    Other Improvements In addition to various bug fixes, we also added a quick-link when you create a Progress Update (% bar on your home page) to add a comment to update your followers! This is a great place to share personal updates, what you think of the book so far, and quick thoughts (ex. "loving this so far"). The book forums are still the place to start more in-depth discussions relevant to the broader community.

    Thanks everyone and happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy 💜💙

    These books are always a good time for me. While this one felt like it meandered a bit and had just a touch too much stuffing to the plot, I enjoy Enola enough that I'm never truly bored.
