Tiny Bookshop Analysis Paralysis Guide

Ever felt overwhelmed after maxing out your Tiny Bookshop shelves? The **Analysis Paralysis** debuff strikes when you start the day with over 100 books on display, slowing your progress. Here’s how to tackle it:

Understanding Analysis Paralysis

  • Caused by total displayed books: Shelves sizes don’t matter—every book counts toward the 100 limit.
  • Triggers at day start: Even if you’re rearranging, exceeding 100 books applies the debuff immediately.

Removing the Debuff Mid-Day

  • Sell strategically: Reduce inventory below 100 by prioritizing popular genres for quick sales. The effect lifts instantly once you hit 99 or fewer books.

Preventing Analysis Paralysis

  • Optimize shelf combinations: Mix small and large shelves to stay under the 100-book cap.
  • Unlock seasonal or rare shelves: Check the newspaper and flea market for space-efficient options, like the fall-exclusive marina boat shelf (~250 coins).
