Do you judge people by their library?

    Not really, obviously I’ll take their library into account when talking with them about Novels but I don’t judge them for reading things I consider bad. Iread enough trash myself and find it enjoyable so I can’t pretend like the same can’t be true for others

      Let’s say you have a daughter and she asks you to help her choose who to date since she can’t decide between two identical twins.

      Both twins read light novels and Twin A has every volume of Jobless Reincarnation, Arifureta and Survival in Another World with My Mistress. The other Twin B is identical as far as you can see but his bookshelf has every volume of Ascendance of A Bookworm, Average Abilities and Tearmoon Empire.

      Which twin would you suggest your daughter dates?

          You lost me at “materialistic pig” but pulled me back in by going full Bonifatius.

            Benno had me checking which brother could afford to look after my daughter. But then Bonifatius came in and slapped some sense into me.

            Freda and Gunther are watching me carefully to see what my next move is…

              Ferdinand would probably use them both up for some experiment, then steal their citizen coin and have them starve to death somewhere where they can’t escape. While taking notes who dies first. Then use the corpses as makeshift throwing objects to spite some of the gods for annoying him. #Just Ferdinand things
