The sixth official Ascendance of a Bookworm fanbook is here, intended for those who’ve finished Part 5 Volume 6. Contains artwork, manga, design sheets, and an exclusive look at how Miya Kazuki plans her short stories—plus the longest Q&A to date!
So… the thing with Liebeskhilfe in the QA means that more deities exist, they just don’t have roles, and thus aren’t known to mortals, right?
The goddess of chaos is “from the same system” as Ewigeliebe, who is the only god (we know of) who isn’t a descendant of the heavenly kind and queen. Does that mean she’s also like that, i.e. someone from outside “the family.” Does this mean that some of the subordinate gods aren’t descendants of the supere gods after all and were just taken in?
Now I’m wondering if the supreme gods even have different names with which each mortal addresses them, or if they just mess with the minds of mortals (regardless of whether that’s intentional, or just happens by itself due to their nature), so mortals perceive it that way, despite them all using the same names without being able to recognize this fact.
Considering how Schwartz and Weiss recognize their master and others by their mana and how Ewigeliebe was unable to tell Rozemyne and Ferdinand apart, does that mean the two magic tools would have also misidentified Ferdinand as Rozemyne and accordingly addressed him as milady? Or was Ewigeliebe only blindsided because he never expected two mortals to match that closely in mana signatue, or due to the difference between a god and a mortal (like how a Human would have a hard time telling two ants apart)?
