The Sweet and Bitter Story Poll!
It's me. I'm gonna be brief and just skip my usual writing because I'm on break. Highlights: had chills and felt cold even wrapped up in blankets for the last 3-4 days. Not a fever. Just bodily exhaustion. It happens. I'm sure I've mentioned it before.
Playing Dragon's Dogma 2. Not as fun as people hoped but that's gaming news. I think I've nearly beaten it. Trip in Puerto Rico this month might affect chapters.
Still, poll, right? Given the way things are going, side-story isn't appropriate. I've heard concerns about story direction. These are all options I'm happy with.
I guess there's a first question of whether we have ANOTHER Erin chapter right after this. Not a poll-call to make but I'll add it as an option just to gauge interest.
The title of the poll? I reckon 30k should hit multiple parts. So you'll get a fun and a not-so-fun option to mix it up. Vote away! I may do multiple of these plotlines depending on how many chapters I have, but you'll guarantee one.

A chapter about the inn please. One where Lyonette goes about trying to launder and spend the new found wealth. One where Mrsha will try to take a little off the top for her own desires. Putting up the down payment for the Inn, shopping for the appliances/furnishings, and weapons. Because it wouldn't be the Wandering Inn if it wasn't armed to the gills, with armory lockers in the staff areas, hidden little weapon stores (like the classic shotgun under the bar countertop), and little stealth kill mechanisms (pulling a lever or hitting a button will drop an Acid Jar upon unwelcome/ hostile entrants).
It's been a while since we've got in touch with Zevara or Klbkch, and I do thoroughly enjoy them. Tessa too. The world is so rich that I'd be happy any which way
Have you thought about doing 2 chapters per week for 2 weeks and break for 2 weeks instead of only one chapter per week and 1 week break?
You’ve been beating around the bush with Erin for like fifteen chapters—okay maybe not that many, but I feel like most of us are ready for more substantial amounts of Erin than we’ve gotten thus far.
great poll. I also miss the slice of life chapters where we were seeing things goign adventuring into dungeons. seeing people struggle/just do stuff lots of broad stuff lately.
Poor Klbkch. Feels like he keeps getting shafted in the polls.
Yeah, there are so many side stories I want details on. Klbkch is one, but I also want to know about the Reinhardts are up to now that they are “free”
Have considered doing polls with ranked choice sorting?
Does Patreon have that as an option?
Enjoy the trip! Hopefully, PR is doing well after all the storms. Travel safe!
a vote for Zev is a vote for Fascism! (paid for by the elect ---- PAC)
"I voted for ---- because I want whats Right"- You in 10 seconds.
Lol I almost misread the no Second Erin chapter to Second NON Erin chapter ... which I'm also interested in the Alt Erin. I love that the title of the series and Erin class are nearly matched up... just waiting for the class to change one more time where she BECOMES the inn and it's in a soul realm or something like He Who Fights With Monsters. That would make her Garden of Sanctuary a little redundant, but still great for ya know gardening.
It’s hilarious and sad she keeps messing with Niers so much 😂😢
Who da eff has concerns about story direction?
A VOTE FOR ---- IS A VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY!
RETURN THE WIND SWORD TO SUPER EARTH!
Would the erin chapter also include lyonette? I really want to see them starting to use the box to finance the inn, keep, village, farm and magic academy
I think it’s unfair to put anyone against Erin especially since we got left on a cliff hanger with the Pavilion of Secrets. Although the Horns had a good showing. On a personal note, I’m fine with the direction of the story, although I do miss the happy and laid back days of the story. My favorite chapters in Volume 9 were actually the beach chapters. However, for the story to advance, Erin had to leave her inn at some point. I only wish it was on a happier note. I’m just hoping Erin can regain that same nature she had inside her inn in the outside world
My hope is that since Volume 4 - every volume has ended on a spur note. Volume 4 was Zel’s death. I’m hoping this volume finally breaks the cycle and Erin pulls out a true miracle
This might be a weird place to ask this, but what happened to the little brother king? Did I miss something, or have we not heard from him in ages? Was kind of weird how he didn't show up in the finale against Kasigna. He's a necromancer right?
Hecrelunn is a vizir, I don't think we've seen anything that indicate that he is a necromancer.. And I think there's quite abit of misunderstandings about Khelt, it's a Kingdom built by a necromancer, not a Kingdom of Necromancers.
Mystery box!
Am I the only one looking forward to the adventures of Pursua and bootleg Ryoka? I know she's kinda awful, but redemption arc! An immensely dangerous shape changing monster that chose the highly stable shape of Ryoka, known far and wide for her solid decision making!
Most ppl new that don't understand what type of game it is lol
Not that I'm a troll enjoyer but what if there was a third erin
To maximize the weight my opinion gets, I voted for everything. This begs the question, thagt since my objective of getting the largest amount of influence fixed my choice, is my choice really my opinion, i.e. Does my opinion have weight zero or highest possible(which is a positive value)?
Your votes cancel each other out, thereby giving you no influence over the poll or chapter choice.
No love for klbkch in the comments??? Him going on an absolute rampage and showing his power was amazing last volume. I’ll take an Erin chapter all day but let’s see an update on him! The last silver swords chapter made me a fan though, tbh I like all these options!
Oh I love Klbkch, I think a lot of us just want to get to a somewhat stable spot with Erin first :) That's how it is for me anyways!
I hope you feel better and get to enjoy your break. I been thinking about dragons dogma but yea it did seem like it fell short by user reviews besides the outrage over micro transactions. I thought the dragons dogma game was the one with the insanely in depth magic system and got REALLY excited.. now I have no idea what game I was thinking about 😂 but it's kinda old
Hope you feel better soon. I want to be totally altruistic but I'm probably not... nah... just feel better and write our next amazing chapter when you do.
Do all of it Paba. I want it all.
I will be happy with whatever you choose to do, you’ve more than earned my trust with wandering inn. That being said we left on a note of Erin crying and even if it’s healthy tears I dont want Erin to be so sad 😭
I wonder how Laken is doing after the solstice... Like his patron god is gone. I wonder how that affects him. How far is he in his city building? Has he made a school? Idk just want to see some fantasy city building. More than Liscor's extension.
Definitely need another helping of Erin. Also as much as I love the Horns, I feel like you could just "and a Vortex opened up and Swallowed Flos never to he seen again " and id be satisfied. Honestly for some weird reason I just want a check in with Toren/Maviola
Come on guys. ---- is way overdue!!!
It might stand for bees! We'd finally figure out what happened to the hive that's been dying an incredibly slow death.
More Erin plz
Erin will always win any poll she's in. She's the protagonist.
I could do with another Horns chapter, but flos can eat rocks.
I always want more erin chapter...no I NEEED IT she is best girl
Flossssssssssss 🥲
not going to lie, I do love me some Zevara chapters
Sorry but I just gotta know what the Pavillion of Secrets will reveal.
I was hoping for Numbtongue option. BTW do we know where he is and I have just forgotten?
He's just "around somewhere" according to Lyonette etc. During the inn chapters
As much as I think Klb is due for a revisit there's just so much Reim narrative to unpack, in what I'm hopeful is a slow arc towards war on Roshal and slavery. Also Tom the clown, but that's not on offer this time!
Not sure if war is possible against them due to region, ocean, politics, and the fact they actually have smart people running the place... Everyone on Chandrar accepts them. Everyone who hates them lives across the ocean and the big players... are unable to deal with them as our lich boy has a crazy priest going after an undead leader looking after his people rather than say... a literal slaving empire.... So yes... war against the gods as one enters the material living world seems more likely than war against Roshal.
Yeah true, horns would be cool. Wouldn’t mind that Rickle chapter from last poll.
Chandrar or bust
I was looking for the Goblin option a Ulvama chapter
I really need Zevera and selys chapter but voting over Erin and NErin chapters is difficult. If we are going for a side story then Zevera and selys is the way to go cuz all the other options aside from "----" are all part of the main story at this point.
Voted Klbkch, but would like to see Zevara as well.. Feel that we are gonna get Erin and Horns eventually anyway. "- - - -" is a bit too vague to pique my interest when Klbkch and Zevara is ready for some action~
Agreed
I love everything involving the Horns, but I want to know what's really going on with the Erins ; ; I hope you feel better soon!
Get better soon - take care of yourself Pirateaba
Hope you feel better soon!
I need an Erin chapter. I’m worried about her. However, it would be great to catch up with Selys & Zevara. Ngl everything in Chandrar stresses me out. That place is too epic for me. I can wait on the Horns.
Safe journey on your trip! Ooh I love these options! Ah speaking of Zevera. I always wanted more Zevera chapters where she’s really trying to keep the peace but every time she wakes up and opens her Curtains to say hello to her city a huge eye of Erin stares into her window and says H I back. Or just bird chirping until the inn explodes again. Naturally we aren’t at the stage of the story but it was always amusing to think how much she tried to instill law since Erin arrived, I wonder if she ever started counter levelling. With all her free time now I wonder if she goes to therapy “don’t worry mountain Erin isn’t real she can’t hurt you” We’ve known her since the start but she hasn’t changed all that much on screen (I think) rip the growth and her struggling love life which has existed since the start too. Oof It be nice if she somehow folded into the inn, like a cousin who’s finally bonding more n more
Definitely a 2nd Erin chapter, maybe with a small pov of decoy Erin (nerry?)
Erin chapter. Take care of your health
My guess is “- - - -“ is gods
Hard to beat a second Erin chapter, but the Horns meeting the motley crew of Flos is gonna be amazing when we get there
