If you liked Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen add

Two series about characters with memories of our world trying to make the mediaeval-style world they find themselves in a better place to live (the world of Fushi no Kami seems somewhat earlier mediaeval than that of Honzuki no Gekokujou). Both characters are very much forces of nature, reshaping the world around them constantly and dragging along those around them in their quest to reshape their worlds. And both use knowledge obtained from books to get to their goals. There are differences, of course - for instance in HnG the books are the goal, and the changes to society are merely steps along the way, whereas in FnK the aim is to restore the technologies of the lost civilisation to make life more worth living, with books being the tools to get there. In HnG books are very rare and valuable, whereas in FnK they are just forgotten and ignored by most of society. In HnG the protagonist has a seemingly perfect recollection of all the masses of books she's ever read in her past life, whereas in FnK they have a much more realistic level of knowledge about Earth but spend large amounts of time studying the texts in that world from the lost civilisation. But the general progress and thrust of the series is much the same, although their paths are easily different enough that there is no feeling that one is in any way treading the same ground. Both series have very well developed characters, a well constructed world and a smooth, well-written and generally believable storyline. Anyone who enjoys one will be able to appreciate the other.
