I love flavour texts. I think it makes a game worth playing. In the spectrum of Subeta I think this is one of the things that probably needs zero focus right now, but I'd love to see some flavour texts added for reading books to pets, like with eating foods. One of the most amusing things to me is that my gourmand Poppin, seems to hate sweet treats and love zombie foods, despite flavour texts being randomized. It adds personality to a pet that you might not think of otherwise, and because books are so crucial to aspects of the site (battling, pet rank, achievements) I think it'd be nice to give them a little freshening up.

Examples can include:

SPOILER (click to toggle) "That was my favourite book!" "I can write better than that." "Can we read that again?" (Obvs rhetorical) "Zero out of ten, worst book ever." "Still a better love story than Twilight." "I want to read more books like this." "This would be perfect for my essay!"

Suggested by : "I hope there will be a sequel!" "What a waste of paper." "Uh, where were all the pictures?" "I never saw that plot twist coming!" "I preferred the movie version." and "It was so much better than the movie." "I'm going to write some fanfic on this now."

Suggested by : "Oh great another book, you're really pushing for me to be a reader aren't you?" "Yay new book smell! Not sure what it's about yet but yay!" "Well I have an hour to waste, bring on the words!" "I'd rather be outside, thanks." "Zzzz... Oh geez I fell asleep, it was that dreadful!"

Suggested by : "Where's the next in the series?" or "When's the next in the series?" "Let's go the book store/library for some more!" "Ugh, I really hated that ending!" or "Ugh, that ending was awful!" "I need to go cry for a few minutes..." "The first/second/third/etc. book was better." "Geez, that was boring. Where was all the action?!" "I waited so long for this book and this is what happens?!" "I wonder if there's a book club about this nearby!" "Huh, could've sworn I've read this kind of plot before..."

This sounds like a fun idea. When the food flavor text was in Suggestions it was in the Pets section of this forum though.

Maybe or one of the other forum minimods would like to move it there?

Oh man I'd love this! I have a lot of fun with the eating flavor text so I'd love to see my pets' "reactions" towards books.

Great idea! How about:

"I hope there will be a sequel!" "What a waste of paper." "Uh, where were all the pictures?" "I never saw that plot twist coming!" "I preferred the movie version." and "It was so much better than the movie." "I'm going to write some fanfic on this now." :D

I love this I do hope they make it happen some day soon.

Here are a few I thought of, yeah sorry not very good.

"Oh great another book, you're really pushing for me to be a reader aren't you?" "Yay new book smell! Not sure what it's about yet but yay!" "Well I have an hour to waste, bring on the words!" "I'd rather be outside, thanks." "Zzzz... Oh geez I fell asleep, it was that dreadful!"

This is a fantastic idea! I love reading to my battle pet, but extra text like this may make me want to visit the page more often than to just check about an alchemy point or not.

Ahhh this is such a cute idea although I haven't read to mine in ages. xD

"Where's the next in the series?" or "When's the next in the series?" "Let's go the book store/library for some more!" "Ugh, I really hated that ending!" or "Ugh, that ending was awful!" "I need to go cry for a few minutes..." "The first/second/third/etc. book was better." "Geez, that was boring. Where was all the action?!" "I waited so long for this book and this is what happens?!" "I wonder if there's a book club about this nearby!" "Huh, could've sworn I've read this kind of plot before..."

This would be the best thing. My intellectual pets are absolutely writing fanfic about their geometry textbooks.
