Persona5: The Phantom X has the same five Social Stats Wonder will have to raise to get closer to his Synergy Bonds: Knowledge, Guts, Charm, Proficiency, and Kindness. Unlike the original game, each social stat can now be raised up to rank 20, and it will take players a lot of Action Points to max out each one.
Each Social Stat can be raised through all sorts of actions through City Activities. One major activity that can be easily overlooked is reading, which can help you increase any social stat you want based on the book you choose to read. Here's where to get every book, which social stat is raised, and how to read these books after you get them.
What Are Phantom Idols in Persona 5 Phantom X?

Where to Read Books in P5X
Reading books is another City Activity that will appear whenever you've purchased a book to read. You can either find the Reading option in the activities menu, or you can go to your house and approach the couch in the living room. Reading does cost an Action Point. From here, you'll get a list of all the books you own and can read, letting you see the rewards before reading.
You can only read once per day.
