#Lilac might be the same and she 100% got that from Silver who refuses to be told what to do by anyone

What if auntie Gold someday decided to introduce young anthro Lilac to that "Twilight but worse" book series? What would the young one think of them?
I think it would very much depend on how old she is: my own experience with Twilight (the actual Twilight) is that I read to the part where Bella was being sad with a cactus in the airplane, and that is as far as I made it. So if Lilac is still too young, Twilight But Worse won't catch her attention so much, I think. There's a reason the series is worse than Twilight, which I figure is because of a combination of terrible narrative structures, a plot to immediately fall asleep to, and everything heavily contradicting each other on literally the same page. There's a reason Onyx City did not endorse this series, haha. And Lilac might find the vampires scary if she's very young, which will make Espio take the book away from her for sure!
Now, once Lilac is in her teens and she's been extensively exposed to both Amy and Gold being absolutely obsessed with romance stories, that might have changed somewhat. I doubt she'll find a similar appreciation that Gold and Eliza the Councilwoman have for the series (which for both is mostly nostalgia along with the fact there was just nothing else), but she might find it an entertaining read all the same. Perhaps she'll be more interested in the vampires and werewolves (I guess there's also werewolves in Twilight But Worse?) than the whole romance aspect of it, but Silver and Espio figure she is allowed to read what she wants, with Gold to help discuss the book and what actually happens in it (Eliza the Councilwoman is an absolute force of chaos and not someone to be left alone with a child if you don't want them to learn things they shouldn't, ranging from curse words to how to make a bomb). So I think Lilac might be able to appreciate them, but in a more 'ironic' sort of way, because she's been exposed to far better literature than this series, haha!
