History Trivia / AscendanceOfABookworm

* NoExportForYou: The physical books and other merchandise sold by TO Books come with exclusive side stories. While some of them were published in the Short Story Collection 1, the rest is otherwise unobtainable and the English publisher could not get the license for these stories.

** The roles of Bezewanst and Ferdinand in one of the drafts is reversed.(Miya Kazuki lay out all possible routes for the characters she can think of) In the Bezewanst route, Ferdinand would have been antagonistic towards Myne and Bezewanst would have acted like the kindly grandfather he looks like. But Miya Kazuki cannot think of a possible way to get Bezewanst to win, thus ditching that route like many others.
** The author originally planned to write a chapter from Ferdinand's point of view, where he finds out the truth about [[spoiler:[[BitchInSheepsClothing Arno's personality]] and that he deliberately sabotaged Fran, which could have ended with Myne dying]]. She stopped in the middle of writing it, as she felt too uncomfortable about Ferdinand's terrifying reaction, so instead she wrote the side chapter from Arno's view [[spoiler:and for the light novel release made it clearer that Ferdinand had him killed off-screen]].
* WordOfGod: Miya Kazuki often responds to questions about her story on syosetsu or twitter. The most interesting ones are compiled in the official fanbooks, which are meant to be read after the reader has read up to a certain point in the story.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The first season of the anime adaptation has an ending song that is sung by Creator/MegumiNakajima, who happens to be Tuuli's voice actress, while the second season's ending theme is performed by Creator/MinoriSuzuki, who voices Rosina.

* FanNickname:
** Referring to Myne's GlowingEyesOfDoom state as her "Reading Rainbow Powers".
** Stenluke is called "Swordinand" by some fans because it's a TalkingWeapon with Ferdinand's voice.
** Chinese and Japanese fans love to use Ferdinand's RedBaron title 魔王 ({{Demon Lord|sAndArchdevils}}/Lord of Evil) because of his long name and his ruthlessness towards his opponents.
** Yurgenschmidt is called by some fans "Yogurt" or "Yogurt Smith" to make fun of the fact that the official English translation decided to use a "Y" instead of the usual German "J" for names, and "Schmidt" being the German equivalent of "Smith". [[note]]Jürgen is a German variant of George. Jürgen Schmidt is thus a typical German name.[[/note]]
** The Dunkelfelger method to force a marriage proposal from someone is called "Dunkel-don" by some fans, a reference to the Japanese "[[WallPinOfLove kabe-don]]".
** Hannelore is called by some Japanese fans "half price", since 半値 is pronounced "hanne".
** Hannelore's mother is also called Hahanne or Mamanne, both being portmanteaus of "mother" and "Hanne".
** Erwarmen the God of Matchmaking is called "Treesus" by some fans, a portmanteau of [[spoiler:"tree" and "Jesus", due to his descent to the mortal plane and founding of Yurgenschmidt 10000 years before the story begins and the fact that he is now a tree]].
** First Prince Sigiswald is called [[spoiler:"Dusty" or "Golden Dusty", a reference to Rozemyne dusting his engagement gift with a touch of her hand accidentally]].

* ThrowItIn: Damuel's name was meant to be Samuel, but Miya Kazuki hit D instead of S by accident and just rolled with it. The translator at J-Novel Club asked the author if she wanted him to correct it in the translation, but she requested that he keep it the same.
