[Text Post] Wait WHAT?!

[In the same fine calligraphy as before, the lines slightly rougher as if the writer's hand were shaking, the following message is posted:]

What do you mean we don't even get to keep anything from our journey to that world?

What's the point of going into weird alternate worlds if we can't come out with loot?! Doesn't this place know adventurers have that as the number-three rated motivation for their work?!

There's already so much annoying and problematic about this whole thing, but that on top?!

Damn it, I had plushies and I wanted to keep them...

Reality isn't as dried cut as people assume it is?

Honestly though, I wouldn't know. I spent most of my time hanging out on a roof going 'amazing' at every single thing people were doing.

Most of what amazed me was... Uh, the weird books I kept finding in the library of my home monastery.

I guess I'm not surprised the world is somehow weirder than what I read, but given some of what I read got real weird..

Got Stuck In A Horror Game, Still Have To Work levels of weird or are we more like I’m Writing a Diary in a Fantasy World — I Really Am Not a 'Cao Thief'! levels of weird?

Hmm. I'd need comparative samples, but the latter sounds like it winds up a lot hornier.

I've got experience with books representing a fairly broad range... But only books before now.

Well, Got Stuck is about your average cooperate drone who likes creepypasta stories going to a popup store to buy some merchandise and ends up being sucked into the setting of the creepypasta as a new hire to a company in that setting. The other is pretty horny. The main character is told to write a daily diary by a system and each day he wins prizes and seduces women.

Really? I'm just a cooperate drone mainly a data analyst.

And I just a recordkeeper with an interesting curse/blessing thing of finding records from another world. Mostly books.

Re: voice;

This must be a weird kind of setting for you given that it's another Library that wants us to work as editors.

Normally my role is replicating records, not editing them, but...
