[Suggestion] Books required for plot progression should be guaranteed drops

[Voodoo Child]

Because seriously, it took me 3-4 fights against Zwei before the Book of Walter dropped. I'm totally OK with other non-plot books & pages being hard to get, but barring game progression behind RNG drops is just bad design imo.
If a book is required for a red invitation, at least 1 copy of it should be guaranteed as a reward in the fight where it drops.

Maybe the first drop as a garanteed drop.
Also, I hope they fix how the non-drops books can be lost and never recovered.

either that, or perhaps make it so the book is a guaranteed drop if you don't have another copy in your library. That way the book gets to remain 'rare' (as you won't get guaranteed copies after the first one) and you no longer have to repeat an already-beaten fight multiple times to get that one book you need to progress in the game.
The part about the non-books was acknowledged as an issue to be fixed. IIRC the latest patch notes said they'd have it fixed in the next update

I've been getting a Walter book drop with every fight, dunno what you guys are talking about.

Yeah this has been my problem as well orzz I don't mind if there's grinds and all, but I've been playing Walter's area 69 times and I only get like 1 book at a time, since burning for his outfit and a lot of areas need his books so I kinda don't like how rare his books were

If you can you should let the emotion level of guests reach higher levels before murdering them so you get more and better books.

But I agree that on completion of a plot fight for the first time the player could get one copy of the book required to progress the plot.
