"Weird" is just a personal opinion anyway
.
Well I have lived and worked in Japan and outside Japan. In my home country people simply don't give a sh*t on what you are reading as long as it is not porn. Attaching book covers on your book will only make you look silly, girliy and like a primary school kid.
On the other hand. People don't give a sh*t if you read porn magazines on Japanese trains, but if you openly read some moe LN without book cover, good luck to you.
At least don't let your colleagues see you, or else you will be the next topic of jokes and laughters in the office.
Buying LN from Japanese bookshops is a pain too
. I don't want to get into the details, but the fact is that most Japanese otaku get their monthly dose of LN through online shops.
On the other hand, I have to get LN from specialized shops in my home country. The otaku salesgirls are so open that they will say "oh it seems like you like lolis! Btw we have a new 18X loli game, wanna give a try?"
Weird or not, it is simply a different way of thinking that there is no way except accepting it.
