The concept itself is quaint, but you'll need to flesh out the 'why'. Why does the dragon collect books? Is there an underlying motive beyond mere curiosity? Are these books gateways to other realms, perhaps, or sources of ancient and powerful incantations? Additionally, consider the implications of such a creature on the world around it. How does its obsession affect the local towns, the economy, the seekers of knowledge? Your idea has potential—root it in coherent world-building for maximum impact.

New here, but this is a fantastic idea! Got me thinking, what if the dragon only speaks in quotes from the books it's read? Like, it’s learned everything from reading and that’s its only way to communicate.

This is absolutely inspiring. I can picture a grand series of tales where each book holds a world's fate, and the dragon is the keeper of these worlds, guiding the knowledge-seekers on their path. Every book could be a new adventure, a new realm that the heroes are drawn into – literally. Perhaps the library is the heart of the universe, with the dragon as its guardian and the books as doors to countless possibilities.

So the dragon went from super cliche to mega nerd, kudos for out-nerding the nerds in a nerd subreddit. What's next, dragons running coffee shops and discussing poetry?

Wow, a bookworm dragon, that's so fresh! Maybe every book it collects could add to its magical power or life span? Could set up some real cool stories with book heists, cursed literature, and literary detectives trying to discover the lair's location.

I like the concept! This could add depth to the dragon character, being wise and cultured instead of just being a giant lizard that likes shiny things. How about the heroes have to bring a rare book that the dragon doesn't have to earn its favor or get its help? There could be a specific book the dragon's desperately looking for, maybe something about its own origins or the secret to its longevity. It would add a whole layer of personal quest to it.

lol I wanna see how you explain a dragon turning pages without setting the book on fire. Magic gloves? But yeah, pretty cool idea, less greed and more geeky dragon stuff.

Absolutely adore this twist on the traditional dragon archetype. The imagery of an ancient, sprawling library veiled in shadows, dust, and the scent of old parchment is incredibly evocative. I can imagine heroes delving into debates of philosophy and the arcane with the beast, trading treasured tomes for wisdom or the chance to glimpse a prophetic scroll. I'd suggest that certain books could be cursed or sentient, perhaps acting as the dragon's advisors or spies. Also, what about rival collectors seeking to pilfer this draconic library? So many story opportunities!
