Myne have become the librarian she always wished to be: <Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! Volume 2> Please.
Sudennly the solved plot is not solved with a bit of a retcon. MC takes a bit of a background role and it shows. The story becomes unoriginal with the power of friendship. The frequent 4th wall breaks quickly became unfunny. 4th wall break as a running gag that characters will be kept from meeting or solving the misunderstanding feels like a slap to the face to the reader.

Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay... even the entire world — has the following entries:

Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! by Seven Seas Entertainment: Vol. 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3

Yes she's a good girl. Always striving to become better. When I find the time and motivation I'll teach her to point out what's ebook, print and audiobook as well. As it is right now it's a bit confusing when there are 3 "1,1,1" listed.

4th wall breaks in general only work when in moderation. The less there are of them the funnier it is when there is one.
