A classic Beach Read is a novel deeply rooted in the beach house/town. The setting is almost a character in the book. Usually, someone is at a crossroads in their life and they find a new path forward through their time at the beach.
A good Beach Read sets a pace of summer at the beach - it has twists and turns, axillary characters woven throughout, parallel plot devices, and often a love story in the mix too.

Broo, last night I went out to Dubs and met the coolest girl. Hours later, we went back to her cozy apartment and I found myself Reading a Book.

A phrase used to describe someone who uses fancy and/or excessive speech. In the context of Limbus Company, the phrase was used in a scene where a character explains as if they read the thesaurus, causing one of the main characters to call them out.
Person A: I was struck with sorrow upon the sight of their entrails. In fact, I had gained an epiphany: why must the innocent bear death and mutilation for a root impertinent to them? Had the madmen been any wiser, the townsfolk would have not suffered this tragedy, and would live on to an untroubled life.
Person B: Yeah, we all know you read the thesaurus. So anyways, you saw those poor innocents’ corpses and you want us to take revenge? Y’know we’re not some heroes fighting for justice.
