I don't quite get the book burning part

I know it's used to get new attacks and equipments but the whole "rarity" and "amount" thing doesnt add up to me

Basically, you can only get so many copies of your new cards until you've gotten everything from the book. When you've gotten all of the copies of the cards & equipment from a book, the rewards reset, and you can get the cards again.

The only exception for the reward reset is the equipment; you can only have as many of them as you get the first time. So you can have 99 copies of the same card, but not 99 copies of the Rats' equipment, for example.

The rarity means very little outside of the amount of that card you can get before needing to reset its book's rewards. The only other thing worth mentioning about rarity is orange cards, as typically orange cards are exclusive to the characters they belong to. For example, if one of the Rats had an orange card, you could only use that card while your librarians had their equipment.

Also typically makes it so you're guaranteed to get all of the rewards from books with a lot of cards after burning 3~4 copies of that book.

The exclusive combat pages always have a warning on them, though. Some gold pages are free use, but if it says "Exclusive to X", then only someone with X key page equipped can use it.

Key page limit depends on it's rarity.
You can get up to 5 green, 4 blue, 3 purple and 1 gold key pages regadles of what drop pool is saying.

rarity does get significant if you only have one or two books, it always sucks to only get one book from one of the later fights and need to go again to get the fun equipment.

That's also generally not an issue past Urban Plague due to the emotion system, though? Just kill the one you want the most books from last.

taking advantage of emotion is useful, but two books is far from certain when it come to gold key pages, especially when there's a lot of combat pages in the mix I actually really like the way the game handles the book burning because it limits the amount RNG spite you're dealing with. didn't stop me from getting everything but the key pages from one specific book (seeing the 2/2 on the one thing I wanted and 0 on literally everything else was quite a thing)

Yeah, like I said, the system effectively guarantees you get everything from 3~4 books burned on average. Usually means beating a fight twice - three times, if you're really unlucky - to get everything.
