Surprised that there wasn't a gag about how some assistant librarians are randomized on different floors because each head librarian was forgetful on who they originally hired when looking over old employee interviews.
That's a bit more on the gameplay side of things. So far in the script, I don't think I've ever referenced the assistant librarians outside of the single time when I was introducing Abnos as a concept.
Fun fact, Olga is actually hinted to be ridiculously strong as her page is an Objet d'art, she is said in dialogue from Rain and Mika, even herself, and in her own page art to be too hungover to fight. But even then, she can shred through you without a care. Truly. She was muscle that Myo trusted too, and that says a lot when she rocks with Maxim.
@@ryanburnett2591 No, as Olga wasn't put through the same kind of detriment to her strength. As opposed to physical injury and strain like the members of Shi, Olga was just so trashed she could barely walk. She was nursing a hangover headache the entire time that caused her great pain to the point where she would rather grab her head than her weapon, lol. And once again, those important bits of dialogue before a fight highlight her complaining about not being in any condition to fight.
Interesting. That would explain why there's a LoR guide that uses the Olga page as one of their main team for roughly half of the game. Even in-game her power is represented if build correctly.
@@acedias12 she’s one of the first Key pages you can get with 2 base speed dice, and the third character overall, as iirc Walter had 2 but his key page doesn’t (or at least didn’t at the time I played through) drop.
I literally only learned about library of ruina because I was reading a fanfic that became a crossover fic midway so when I went to look up who are these characters I got sucked into this abyss that is project moon. Thank you for making this i shall go watch your videos out of order now.
Not the same fanfic. I started reading "Redhead Redemption", a crossover featuring characters from different settings, one of which is Yuri from Limbus. I got curious, since her was the only character whose story I didn't already played or watched, and now I'm here.
Thank you so much for this, one of my biggest worries about content like this is that my own writing will put people off. To hear it's actually a highlight means a lot to me
@@Word46 Dude I've watched this like 5x over just for the jokes alone and I plan to show this to my friend who got into LoR because of me. Seriously, your writing is good, and you do great video essays... and on that LoR Abriged bit, I know a VA who'd be totally down to work on one if you wanted to give that any thought, haha! Either way, keep making awesome content man, it's appreciated!
16:46 I laughed a lot louder than I should. Great job on the video! I genuinely enjoy your quips you throw here and there. Not to mention the amazing work you did summarizing the story itself. I love it!
We've had a running bit on stream that Roland's personal catch phrase is just the THINNEST coping mechanism, and I wanted to have some kind of bit with Hod being a low-tier shitposter after learning funny internet words from a book, but she doesn't quite understand how to use them
Thank you so much for your support! The next video is still a bit of a ways out (we're editing through the second tier of Urban Nightmare next week) but it should be sooner rather than later!
I just wanna say, as someone who is veeeery slowly working through ruina, I highly appreciate these videos for not including spoilers so I can catch up to what I forgot after a few months between playing sessions. I'm like halfway through urban nightmare now, so a refresher of the early game was sorely needed lol. Thank you!!
@@Word46 I am coming back now as someone who has finished ruina, and what a ride it was :) highly appreciate your vids for giving me something to watch over and over to sate my need for ruina content while not getting spoiled, and looking forward to your videos on the rest of the story!! good luck I see now just how much is packed into star of the city lmao
Been hoping for this. I stumbled on your channel looking for a video like this about Library of ruinia but found your video on lobotomy corp and instantly subcribed
I'm playing Library now. About to make it to Star of the City. Thanks for making this. I've skipped a few of the stories this time around because I'd read them in the past and this is just what the doctor prescribed. Looking forward to the next one bro! ❤
Something funny and completely useless to the story I noticed: the two fingers we deal with, held up alone on one's hand, make an L. The place they try to raid and the thing they will inevitably take. I find this way funnier than it should be and there's an approximately 60% chance this detail was intentional.
Spoilers: If you really want to shorten it, just say that Library of Ruina is an Isekai about a master assassin pretending to be an ordinary NEET to avenge his wife.
Also could you throw a spoiler tag on this? I know it's not coming right out and say it but I assume anyone with a functioning brain can put 2 and 2 together ya know?
Man I am stuck somewhere in the middle of Star of the City and the realizations of the floors. This video is giving me the motivation to try and finish the game before the 27th. Hope I can get it xD
Best of luck my guy, SotC is definitely one of the highest hard parts of the game, but you can get through it. If you're struggling and wanna push, try checking out some deck builds, they helped a ton during my playthrough.
I just want you to know, these recaps actually got me to buy and enter the PM fandom. I just finished everything in this part, so I thought I’d be the right time to say it
One thing about pm games that makes them so amazing is that even after getting spoiled pretty heavily, it's still very much possible to enjoy the entire story of the game. I have watched this ages ago and knows the main story arc of the character up to urban legend and yet when i actually starts playing the game recently, i still find myself invested into the characters. Same goes with lob corb as well, despite watching a billion story analysis, i still find myself feeling sympathetic when reading their character arcs. This is why i love its story so incredibly bad
I love to slip little hints into things that a first time viewer might not notice until they've got further info. Most probably think that the chopsticks bit with Roland was just a funny music choice, heheheheh
A good friend got me into Books and Bitches (Library of Ruina). We played it together and it was an awesome game with an awesome story, great characters, writing, interesting world and lore, and more. I had just recently beat this game, and some of these plot twists were insane. I highly recommend this game to all people it's great
i watched this and *several* other videos and they got me to play it i know videos can never do the whole thing justice like ten of hours of story in a game vs 30 minutes video so I know there'll be so much more good story and just characters to experience
For the longest time I wondered what lobotomy corporation and library of ruina were. After watching the lobotomy corp video, I planned to binge through this as well. However I took the advice at the start of the video and decided to play the game first. It has been months. This game is hellishly hard, yet it’s still my favorite game I’ve ever played. I just wanted to say thank you for getting me to play such a fantastic game.
24:25 it's more that the light had already been shining that long and Angela calls the truce so she doesn't lose any more of it in exchange for letting the Sephirah live
Well given the fact that my day job is about to up and evaporate on me, I'm gonna have to. I'm not too sure what I'd be able to do to incentivise it beyond just helping, but that's a problem for later. The fully edited video will talk about it at the front, so I've got some time to brainstorm.
Hey Wordsmith, if you read this will you be able to atleast skim through some general receptions encounters? I know they aren't important to the plot and story but its mostly just extra lore about the city and the people in there, many thanks also this video was pretty good ngl^^.
Not for these videos, but I plan on making more LoR content after the Brief Summaries and we'll cover stuff like that and more gameplay related stuff there
Yeah it's a shame we don't get more of these early game fixer offices. They're a much more "boots on the ground, low tier" perspective than we get later on
Exactly! I love their perspectives and all of them are really interesting, I felt bad when killing most of them. Also I really love your video style, they are always great to watch!
24:30 . Okay, I think you got the nature of the deal wrong. Both the sephirot and Angela understand that the light power is meaningless unless one side control all "seven day" supply of the light. The Sephirot goal is to hold out for all 7 days to let the light escape, and Angela wants to stop them. The sephirot were running on fumes by day 4, so they knew victory is out of their grasp. Angela also understands that even IF she won now, she would only have 3-day worth of light, which mean neither will "win" this fight. A deal is struck. Angela will create the library of "reclaim" all the light being scattered and will make "a final decision at the end" and the sephirot are supposed to help her and not rock the boat in the meanwhile. Hope this help your next episode
Played the game and decided to rewatch all your recap vids and the " I take it you've been down on your luck" at 3:44 hits hard. And I saw what you did. With the piano.
So i just discovered project moon. Honestly love this stuff and gotta ask. Anyone else wish there was an anime of the library story? Hell id even enjoy it with this versions slightly twisted comedy take on it 😂
@@Word46 just take your time to make the res of review. Despite me wanting to see the rest of it. I know that quality is also important. (I will say that Ipersonally enjoy the fight against the Knight of Despair and making a fanmade Abberation version of her which is the combination of Fate's Berserk Lancelot and Shadow of War's Nazgul)
I'm sitting here in bed in awe as I realize the series of events that led me to this video due to the RUclips algorithm. At about the beginning of March I was recommended a video on every Kamen Rider opening to date. I watched it and got really into it and Tokusastu in general, so eventually I watch the video with every Super Sentai opening. Now about 2 weeks go by and I'm listening to OST music in Ultrakill when I get Second Warning recommended me. I listen to the other tracks when your Lobotomy Corp video gets recommended me, I watched it and proceeded to get absolutely hooked on the lore and look into every piece of media in this series. Anyway fast forward to today when I looked into your videos to see if you have more content and I found your Power Rangers video, while it's possible that these events aren't related, I chose to believe that my obsession with Karate Bugmen led to my obsession with Project Moon. Also your brief summaries are awesome and I wish all your Library of Ruina videos were out yesterday.
Honestly, one of my favorite videos is that Power Rangers one purely for the story behind it. I had JUST moved into the house you can see in the background there. This was like... Night 1 or 2 of living there. I had to stream, but had no plans and likely no viewers. So I hopped into discord with a buddy when he jokingly suggested reviewing every power rangers opening, a series that I hadn't given a second thought to in like 10 years. Out of ideas and tired as hell we said "fuck it"! And started reviewing And of course the video didn't DO anything. That was normal at the time. If you scroll through my backlog you can find several attempts at establishing a niche that just fell flat, either because I was too fresh at making content or because the algorithm turned a blind eye. It wasn't until I made some god forbidden review stream for the now soon to be defunct Cross Duel that viewers started coming in... Except for the Power Rangers video. For SOME reason, the algorithm woke up one day and said "SHOW THEM POWER RANGERS" and the video started getting views out of absolutely nowhere. It was my first vid to break 1K. And going back, it was legitimately pretty funny. It's also just a really fun night of me and my friends goofing around and having fun, things I still thankfully get to do, but just the fact that other people found our goofs enjoyable enough to actually watch gave me a huge confidence boost as a creator. That eventually led to me trying out new ideas, including a certain funny game about spooky monsters my chat had recommended me. One thing to another and here we are. I think for something like 5K subs on here I'll do a follow-up review of all the Kamen Rider openings. If Tokusatsu magic can bless me once, maybe it can do it again. Also Part 2 is nearly done, I plan on finishing Urban Nightmare today, then dealing with the Realizations on Thursday/Friday. After that it's quality checks, elevating a few bits, and then publish! Thank you for your story, it made my day and I just woke up.
This is probably the first and only time i'll say this, but enable the thanks button. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST THIS IS AN ORDER, I NEED TO PUT MY MONEY SOMEWHERE.
great vid! love the lobotomy and wonderlab vid, really helped since i found no desire to play lobotomy but is really interested with the story nevertheless. thanks
tysm for this video! i loveee the lore/story of projmoon games but have zero gore tolerance so have been unable to really engage with the games much (it's one thing to read abt it, another to have to grind out the abno breaches/deaths in lc or fights for cards and books in lor
We actually do have super thanks on here on RUclips! We do have plans for a Patreon, but that'll be happening around Part 3 so it'll be a bit. Thank you for your kind words and your support, I'm glad I could help!
Neen playing the game hell i did a 8 hour live strem a few hours ago but watched lets players for the story because im impatient but love the game so far and the stroy 10/10 Side question about wonder lab would Party Everlasting be counted as a distortion or something else entirely? Edit i wrote this before watching the video but now that im watching it funny 10/10
We'll get to Party in a later video when we address Distortions, but yeah she's the first instance we see of a Distortion. Possibly the first one period.
you do realize that you have a really tight countdown if you want to finish the other videos before limbus release, right? I hope you have them already half finished instead of trying to make them from scratch right now, no need to burn yourself out like that. also Distortion Detective video when?
now that I've finished watching Library of Ruina (too bad at the game to actually beat it yet), I can finally watch this video summarizing Library of Ruina!
just finished lor to 100% and i cant wait when the rest of the parts comes out cuz this game is just so good with their worldbuilding i need someone talking about it
Unfortunately we're not gonna get into that DEEP end world building during these videos. I pretty much don't address the stuff in the Credenza that has all the little extra details, but the bulk of the world building from the receptions get in here
yeah that's what i was expecting for the most part and the main story is already a LOT to unpack already the credenzas are neglible if you really love this certain character and their relations
There gonna be like a billion comment about fun fact on the part 4 considered how much detail the game is. Well atleast that what make it still fun when I replay it for example...... Finn is 20 what the fu#^.
Yeah, I had the VA turned off for Part 1 of the VoD, and it completely threw me that his voice was THAT DEEP when I went through it on the modded playthrough
Hod does NOT have the worst Abnos. Her FIRST one comes with what's essentially a free +2 to Dice Power, with the rest giving stuff like MORE Dice Power, extreme Bleed application, and Bind + Fragile debuffs, nevermind certain EGO Pages in her kit. Frankly, she was one of my best Floors up until the broken characters and gear started getting unlocked.
Sorry about the delay, it's been busy. Couldn't find where the original picture is from, it was posted on the Discord, and the only links I could find in reverse image searches pulled up a twitter page that doesn't exist anymore.

Love playing Lobotomy Corporation, but I don’t exactly like the style of gameplay LoR is going for. Not too into it, and I find the abnormality management of the previous game a lot more fun. Thank you, genuinely, so much for summarizing (or beginning to) LoR because I could genuinely care less about playing it but still want the lore.
Idk if this is niche or anything but i found out about this game from Slay the Spire mod of Library of Ruina and i thought the soundtracks were honestly great

24:30 . Okay, I think you got the nature of the deal wrong. Both the sephirot and Angela understand that the light power is meaningless unless one side control all "seven day" supply of the light. The Sephirot goal is to hold out for all 7 days to let the light escape, and Angela wants to stop them. The sephirot were running on fumes by day 4, so they knew victory is out of their grasp. Angela also understands that even IF she won now, she would only have 3-day worth of light, which mean neither will "win" this fight. A deal is struck. Angela will create the library of "reclaim" all the light being scattered and will make "a final decision at the end" and the sephirot are supposed to help her and not rock the boat in the meanwhile. Hope this help your next episode
Yes there's another comment that says something very similar to this thank
Being called Herald of unga bunga is my only aspiration in this life
Played the game and decided to rewatch all your recap vids and the " I take it you've been down on your luck" at 3:44 hits hard.
And I saw what you did. With the piano.
“It’s not a big grindfest” *queen of hatred enters the chat*
20:20 that's why I remembered Hungry Burger at that scene!
To think Nouvelles were released months later HUH?!
XD
When I saw olga on your video, I remembered that she was also on limbus Company working as a boatfixer.
The pianist Only killed 300 thousand ?
I thought it was a couple million
That's the number the Zwei crew said, it's entirely possible their info wasn't accurate
@@Word46 It was actually Liu that said about 300,000 deaths, Zwei only mentions it being 80% of District 9's population
@@Word46 that, or the pianist killed 300K shortly after appearance, then killed the 80% afterwards before getting killed by BS
I love the skits!
Thank you! We're gonna have WAY more of those as we move forward
@@Word46 oh HELL YEAJ
Oh boy, here we go yet again with another somewhat coherent schizo lore video
Great stuff my dude, more Arknights content when?
Eeeeeeventually. I need to get all of these out around the launch of Ligma Company, so I'm not on the nicest work schedule
@@Word46 take your time my dude, your content is top notch and I enjoy your schizo ramblings very much
@@Word46
What's company
The sequel coming out in a bit
@@Word46
Can't believe you didn't get the joke
So i just discovered project moon. Honestly love this stuff and gotta ask. Anyone else wish there was an anime of the library story? Hell id even enjoy it with this versions slightly twisted comedy take on it 😂
I have waited for this review since watching your other reviews about Wonderlabs and Lob Corp.
Oh the REVIEW will be later. This is just getting all the info out there as funny as I can make it.
@@Word46 just take your time to make the res of review. Despite me wanting to see the rest of it. I know that quality is also important. (I will say that Ipersonally enjoy the fight against the Knight of Despair and making a fanmade Abberation version of her which is the combination of Fate's Berserk Lancelot and Shadow of War's Nazgul)
I'm sitting here in bed in awe as I realize the series of events that led me to this video due to the RUclips algorithm. At about the beginning of March I was recommended a video on every Kamen Rider opening to date. I watched it and got really into it and Tokusastu in general, so eventually I watch the video with every Super Sentai opening. Now about 2 weeks go by and I'm listening to OST music in Ultrakill when I get Second Warning recommended me. I listen to the other tracks when your Lobotomy Corp video gets recommended me, I watched it and proceeded to get absolutely hooked on the lore and look into every piece of media in this series. Anyway fast forward to today when I looked into your videos to see if you have more content and I found your Power Rangers video, while it's possible that these events aren't related, I chose to believe that my obsession with Karate Bugmen led to my obsession with Project Moon. Also your brief summaries are awesome and I wish all your Library of Ruina videos were out yesterday.
Honestly, one of my favorite videos is that Power Rangers one purely for the story behind it.
I had JUST moved into the house you can see in the background there. This was like... Night 1 or 2 of living there. I had to stream, but had no plans and likely no viewers. So I hopped into discord with a buddy when he jokingly suggested reviewing every power rangers opening, a series that I hadn't given a second thought to in like 10 years. Out of ideas and tired as hell we said "fuck it"! And started reviewing
And of course the video didn't DO anything. That was normal at the time. If you scroll through my backlog you can find several attempts at establishing a niche that just fell flat, either because I was too fresh at making content or because the algorithm turned a blind eye. It wasn't until I made some god forbidden review stream for the now soon to be defunct Cross Duel that viewers started coming in...
Except for the Power Rangers video. For SOME reason, the algorithm woke up one day and said "SHOW THEM POWER RANGERS" and the video started getting views out of absolutely nowhere. It was my first vid to break 1K. And going back, it was legitimately pretty funny. It's also just a really fun night of me and my friends goofing around and having fun, things I still thankfully get to do, but just the fact that other people found our goofs enjoyable enough to actually watch gave me a huge confidence boost as a creator. That eventually led to me trying out new ideas, including a certain funny game about spooky monsters my chat had recommended me. One thing to another and here we are.
I think for something like 5K subs on here I'll do a follow-up review of all the Kamen Rider openings. If Tokusatsu magic can bless me once, maybe it can do it again.
Also Part 2 is nearly done, I plan on finishing Urban Nightmare today, then dealing with the Realizations on Thursday/Friday. After that it's quality checks, elevating a few bits, and then publish!
Thank you for your story, it made my day and I just woke up.
nice.. once lmbus company is finished you should do that one.
Thank god, being unable to read I was hoping that someone would put together a summary someday.
Well if you can't read you might as well keep your eyes buttered
@@Word46
Till the end?
Holy damn, you’re the LP guy!
@@halosammy14 Indeed!
This is probably the first and only time i'll say this, but enable the thanks button. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST THIS IS AN ORDER, I NEED TO PUT MY MONEY SOMEWHERE.
I didn't even know that was a thing one sec
great vid! love the lobotomy and wonderlab vid, really helped since i found no desire to play lobotomy but is really interested with the story nevertheless. thanks
Glad to hear! The series is worth the time, but I totally get not wanting to deal with Lob Corp
LES GO ROLLING, FOR BENIS (ALGORITHM)
I wish I could've gotten the Gondola keypages tbh
I have 486 hours in library of ruina. The game takes like 60hrs to fully complete. I'd say it's a good game, yeah.
Nice, I always hope someone would do a reaction video to lore explanation videos
I hope they do too, that's free exposure
@@Word46 I rub my hands choosing which Arknights content creator to torment with this idea this time.
@@thpdom please bring more people to the PM cult
tysm for this video! i loveee the lore/story of projmoon games but have zero gore tolerance so have been unable to really engage with the games much (it's one thing to read abt it, another to have to grind out the abno breaches/deaths in lc or fights for cards and books in lor
We actually do have super thanks on here on RUclips! We do have plans for a Patreon, but that'll be happening around Part 3 so it'll be a bit. Thank you for your kind words and your support, I'm glad I could help!
That Emet M&M is cursed as f... bro
Eminem Squelch is too powerful to be contained. I try not to put him in anything but he just edits himself into stuff.
I love the sorta LoR abriged thing you have here.
Spoiler alert:
Netzach cracked open a third bud light after the second.
this is going to be fun.
Editing this one was an absolute blast, some of my favorite bits are in here
@@Word46 what was your favorite part
Either the Netz into or the Ayin "lol, lmao" bit
Oh sad have to finish library of ruina first before watching this video don't want 3 month of library be spoiled
This is only into Urban Legend, don't sweat it too much lol
I can watch the video now
The Yesod intro segment is still rent free in my head.
Neen playing the game hell i did a 8 hour live strem a few hours ago but watched lets players for the story because im impatient but love the game so far and the stroy 10/10
Side question about wonder lab would Party Everlasting be counted as a distortion or something else entirely?
Edit i wrote this before watching the video but now that im watching it funny 10/10
We'll get to Party in a later video when we address Distortions, but yeah she's the first instance we see of a Distortion. Possibly the first one period.
0:13 that's what I have been doing daily since the 25th!
XD
you do realize that you have a really tight countdown if you want to finish the other videos before limbus release, right? I hope you have them already half finished instead of trying to make them from scratch right now, no need to burn yourself out like that.
also Distortion Detective video when?
Yeah we're not getting there lmao. I'll be getting to them as we get there, I'm just glad I got this one out to start the process
tried playing Limbus, didn't understand a thing, somehow ended up here :)
now that I've finished watching Library of Ruina (too bad at the game to actually beat it yet), I can finally watch this video summarizing Library of Ruina!
just finished lor to 100% and i cant wait when the rest of the parts comes out cuz this game is just so good with their worldbuilding i need someone talking about it
Unfortunately we're not gonna get into that DEEP end world building during these videos. I pretty much don't address the stuff in the Credenza that has all the little extra details, but the bulk of the world building from the receptions get in here
yeah that's what i was expecting for the most part and the main story is already a LOT to unpack already
the credenzas are neglible if you really love this certain character and their relations
3:47 whats the piano here? i remember hearing it in a commercial a long time ago and its been in my mind for a while. years.
The thing about both LC and LoR is that those game don't make me want to finish it so I'm watching this instead.
Personally I get that super hard for LC, and a few very specific parts in LoR, so I'm glad I can help out with this!
There gonna be like a billion comment about fun fact on the part 4 considered how much detail the game is. Well atleast that what make it still fun when I replay it for example......
Finn is 20 what the fu#^.
Yeah, I had the VA turned off for Part 1 of the VoD, and it completely threw me that his voice was THAT DEEP when I went through it on the modded playthrough
Hod does NOT have the worst Abnos. Her FIRST one comes with what's essentially a free +2 to Dice Power, with the rest giving stuff like MORE Dice Power, extreme Bleed application, and Bind + Fragile debuffs, nevermind certain EGO Pages in her kit. Frankly, she was one of my best Floors up until the broken characters and gear started getting unlocked.
Watching this video was actually what got me to finish Library of Ruina so uh
Play Library of Ruina I think
Lol, I need the link for this 18:40 fanarts 😂
That's pretty much the most perfect way to say what kind of people in Asiyah floor now in LoR 😂
I'll hunt it down after work today
Bump
Sorry about the delay, it's been busy. Couldn't find where the original picture is from, it was posted on the Discord, and the only links I could find in reverse image searches pulled up a twitter page that doesn't exist anymore.

Love playing Lobotomy Corporation, but I don’t exactly like the style of gameplay LoR is going for. Not too into it, and I find the abnormality management of the previous game a lot more fun. Thank you, genuinely, so much for summarizing (or beginning to) LoR because I could genuinely care less about playing it but still want the lore.
This is the type of explanation I need!
Idk if this is niche or anything but i found out about this game from Slay the Spire mod of Library of Ruina and i thought the soundtracks were honestly great
8:46
*Best girl appears*
Still my favorite floor, even if she's general as hell
You mean... ALL the abnormalities... OH NO.
4:24
To be honest.
I don't it's adjusted because that's how it almost went
Hey i think i missed how did the main cast from lobotomy corp regain their bodies in library of ruina
It's a blink and you'll miss it mention in this. They're made of light now.
19:08 and the french are number five! CINQ! (and the brit's seven)
Yeah I had figured the point had been made by then lol
Peak Comedy is Roland’s flashback as a shitty piano rendition of “Twinkle Twinkle little star” plays
It's a distorted version 😉
3:40 Good info to know!
NEW VID LETS GO
LUS GOOOO
