Other World: Bookworm vs Make my abilities Average

Bookworm huddles by a fire
In Ascendancy of a Bookworm the librarian-in-training is crushed to death by toppled bookshelves in an earth quake and is Isekai'ed as a young girl named Mile born to a poor family. She has an interest in books in a world where books are not only in the hands of nobility, but few and far between. Mile begins her quest to learn to read and write the local language and make books, but is making more progress introducing shampoo and pancakes to this medieval world.

Warrior-mage closes the distance
In Didnt I say to make my abilities average in the Next Life a high school girl named Mile (yes I know... things are getting ugly when they have the same name) is isekai'ed by truck-kun while pushing a child out of the way and is reincarnated as Adele von Asham, the Daughter of a wealthy family with memories of her life in Japan and epic tier abilities. Unfortunately 'average' is apparently half way up the Bahamut the Dragon God scale of measurement vs normal humans making her the second most powerful monster in this Universe. Adele proves insecure about her lack of body development, to the point where anyone going on about her washboard chest triggers her psychologically into Dragonball Z level violence.

They are both entertaining in their own right though Bookworm is setting itself up to be a tragedy about the suffering of hungry frost bitten poorly educated peasants in a world where knowledge rules.
