She magicks them away to a pocket dimension.

seems too easy
storing books is the bane of the book collector
i'm the one who ran out of shelf space and has been reduced to piles.

You don't have a grimoire that creates pocket dimensions.

seems too easy

essence of Frieren magic
if pocket dimensions aren't a thing she probably just scans them onto a giant magic pdf file library

in her ass

This. If she can do it to her staff she can do it to some gay books. She also probably has eidetic autism elf memory just like the smug barefoot cunt so she probably doesn't really *need* to keep them for later reference

thoughts on yomiko readman?

Does Frieren have some big mansion somewhere we never see? Imagine what her compounding interest is just from a bit of investing like 700 years ago.

the only problem is she forgets to check for like 300 years and by the time she does the company has gone bankrupt or been totally absorbed, and her stock is worthless.
that's why she's always cash poor.

Her magic briefcase

And the rest would be spending what she does have on mansion upkeep.

Once she reads them she sells/gives them to a used book store.

she obviously doesn't have a bag of holding, otherwise Fern wouldn't chide her for hoarding magical objects.

It's like D&D, the books give her access to particular spells but once she's memorised them she can just cast them without the original text. Probably just gives them away or sells them to a market stall for lunch money or something

The demons, Ubel, the parfait...those are nothing, now that is what a plot hole looks like... damn, I concede.

Nah she definitely lives in a treehouse

She's a gypsy

lives in a hut on top of a multi-storey building she owns just to store her books in

They're still just piled everywhere

You'd think that the heroes who saved the world would be given at least nobility status, but Himmel and Heiter lived in random houses.

what's the point of grimoires when canonically you can literally just imagine whatever you want to happen and it will happen?

You need both.
Grimoires teach you the mechanics of how to cast the spell, but you still need to have the mental condition to be able to visualise it.
Unless you are Ubel where you can just ignore the first step and somehow learn how to use magic purely through intuition, but they make it clear she's pretty much unique

i bet she has a huge bush and stinky cooch

not only that, they all lived like old homos or in frieren's case, a bum
not one of the heroes got himself some strange and settled down. himmel just jerked off for 80 years, like dude wtf.

She rents a self-storage unit.

Heiter was a bishop for a while, he just retired to a peaceful seclusion. If he wanted, he probably could have servants and stuff as an emeritus.

storage of anything is always a problem

I assumed her interest was that of a philologist. She'd already mastered the main spells and she was looking for variations or transcription errors. Probably the payoff is finding folk spells in marginalia

She was looking for variations and errors, but she was also more interested in the word origins

The officially recognized classes in Frieren are (by frequency among known characters)

Mage

Warrior

Priest

Hero

Monk

Thief

Interestingly enough, not a single Thief has shown up so far.

She uses book storage magic, it only works on books

Thief feels like a pretty redundant class in this world

i find the idea that this universe has tons of weird spells for niche uses really charming

they make it clear she's pretty much unique

it's pretty clear that she has been taught magic in a completely different way from everyone else

This is native isekai, she just puts them into her inventory.

That's honestly what magic is about.
Making life easier. It's a tool like any other at the end of the day.
Too much of fantasy forgets this.

yeah, and often its "x can do magic so they can do whatever if they can think of it and are powerful enough". theres no real need to learn a specific spell.
