10.54 UEG (Pt. 1 and 2)

Hi, I’m new here and this Patreon thing is confusing. I already purchased the kindle version and audible book at full price. But apparently the kindle doesn’t match the audio from audible which is FRUSTRATING!! I also saw there was a webcomic that seems to be password protected? How much do I need to pay to see he webcomics?

Dead Erin’s guys, today’s the day!!!!!!!!!! I NEED it! Need.

And now I'm caught up... couldn't wait for Lady of Fire and started reading instead of listening... how does one return to real life? sigh

One more week it feels like it’s been 6 months waiting

I know you’re all out here lurking….just like me. Wondering if it will be this week or next. I was SO proud of myself for being a good duck and paced myself, only finished on Monday this week. But now the longing has hit me. I feel like Loial the Ogier.

I really enjoy this relationship. I have medium hopes! Eggs and baskets and all that...

Are we getting chapter this week or next anyone know

The New Year’s been so slow with nothing new from you. I started something new on Royal Road but nothing I find is as good as you’re writing. Can’t wait for you to get back.

Just a request, can we get some content involving Rhir or some slavers just getting massacred, maybe some organizational destruction. Currently in need of some catharsis.

Long ramble, please ignore unless you just need to read something and like me, you’re here to fill the time before the next chapter and procrastinate getting something else done💕 From garry christmas to Erin scampering off in adorable victory while ulvama processed and embraced the awkward yet fresh and welcome truth of erin’s love… I desperately want to start my friends off with these last three chapters, instead of living with this magic alone… I got a new reader into the first few chapters before i visit them in Lansing next week, and I will be braving the cold to see the salmon ladder in Grand Rapids so that I can see what Erin shared of home… figure I will try to locate the chapter before the trip and read it on the bus…. This story has been such an amazing companion over the years… Griefman also came when I needed it and helped me process my own losses… we all need a gary Christmas to help thaw the effects of the ice… one sweet kiss, just enough is plenty… you had me at both women finally embracing their style and leaning accepting themselves… thank you pirateaba, I look forward to more words and hope the story continues as long as you have the spoons to write it. My partner is still ahead of the audible, but not yet at neirs trip to liscore… I can’t even wish they would read more because… what a gut punch… they have me reading and crying g and saying… oh… you know, just erin being erin… and the. They will have to contend with crossbow bolts… drakes and ice… our world and the innverse… innfinity… how I need some of my friends irl to catch up… how I want my new readers to start where I am and catch up with history when they have time… is that unfair? I don’t know, the chapters parallel our current world and… it feels like something erin would do, spoil everything for some magic that actually worked out fine in the end… no one in my life really has time to read, and I did a majority of catching up to current releases in 2022 when I was sick with the flue and figuring out how to deal with other health issues….

Loved it, saw this ship being built… never thought either of them would go so all in on themselves together like this. Epic battle of the bands and growth. Gary Christmas!

Really wasn't a fan of Ulvama x Erin. It seems really forced, especially given their situation, and how bad of a time traumatic bonding results in a relationship.

Two weeks and I've only made it 2/3 of the way through part one. The Erin/Ulvama portion is annoying. It feels like I'm being forced to watch middle schoolers interact. If Erin/Ulvama is a thing, I'm fine with it, and I'd have been fine with it being revealed as an offscreen development. It's crazy to me that the Lyonette/Pawn relationship which was far less believable happened offscreen, but we are being subjected to Erin's extreme awkwardness in this situation. In the meantime, the healer of Tenbault situation is happening offscreen? I'm having to force myself through the Erin sections, but then I don't feel the urge to continue reading. This will be the only chapter that I do end up managing to stretch over the course of a month long break. Seriously, ErinxUlvama is fine. Erin ace is fine. Erin being extremely cringe while subconsciously flirting is what I have an issue with. All of this being forced on us while the Inn continues to not be the bastion of safety for turnscales that had been teased so long ago.

Great chapters. I do enjoy the slice of life, feels like early TWI, wish we saw her talk to more people than just Garry though, but I guess that's for future chapters :)

I don’t think Pirate knows how to write Romance. You’d have to fall in love first before you can write it. It’s hard to explain. Here: Jolene, by Dolly Parton. But replace all the lyrics with: Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene~ I’m begging of you, please don’t waste your time~ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene~ Please, don’t hurt her, just because you can~ Her beauty is, beyond compare. With sunny eyes, of an endless blues. With Snow White skin, and hair of Autumn’s red~ Her smile is warm like life itself. Her voice is sweet, like bitter snow. And you can not compete with her, Jolene~ She talks about you in her sleep, there’s nothing I can do to keep from dying, when she cries in pain, Jolene~ And I can easily understand How you can easily take a man. But you don’t know what she means to me, Jolene~ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene~ I’m begging of you, please don’t waste my time~ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene~ Please, don’t hurt her, just because you can~ You can have your choice of men, But I could never love again. She’s the only one for me, Jolene~ I had to have this talk with you, your happiness depends on you, and what ever you decide to do, Jolene~ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene~ I’m begging of you, please don’t waste your life~ Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene~ Please, don’t hurt her, even though you can’t~ Jolene…. Jolene…. Jolene…~ When you understand this song, then you’d know love.

Loved this chapter, I've seen ErinxUlmalva coming for a while, as expected of Erin being asexualish it is moving slow. Everyone is these comments is mad about it and Im afraid that is just due to a lack of media literacy.

As always, it was funny. But felt so out of place and wierd and just a waste of time. I cant help but feel like this whole damn volume is just.. kind of bad. Its poorly paced and I just do not care about hardly anything that's going on or any of the characters. I cant be alone in wanting to see what happens with the many major plots that have already been opened and we just keep spinning our wheels in the mud

****this is my opinion and I am probably wrong normally am***** After reading some comments on this post I see a lot of people complaining about Erin and I think part of it is pira is not very good at doing sexual or romantic or relationship stuff very well and in most of the situations just avoids it think most of it happens of “screen” I think we are see her try to develop her writing style as she seen a weakness and there more she dose it the better she will get better. That all being I still think it need more Gary. And I call pira a she and I am sorry if I am miss labelling you it just how I see them in my head

Holy hell the negativity in these comments WTF?? This chapter was AWESOME. I was howling at the end, I can't wait for Erin and Ulvama to go to the pavilion together. Garry Christmas, everyone.

Honestly the ending of this chapter was a massive disappointment. It’s not just that it was way out of the blue which it was, It’s that it seems like Pirate is daring the reader to have a problem with it so they can feel morally superior to you if you do. I’ve always appreciated how inclusive of all different identities the story has been without seeming to virtue signal. It was so well done…starting with Bird and now with Erin IMO Pirate has crossed the line into blatant virtue signaling. Damn near every other one of the most beloved characters is “queer” in one way or another and it feels forced and dull.

That ending was awesome! I keep thinking that i cannot fall more in love with this story and I just keep being proven wrong. Happy new years and have a restfull break Pirate! <3

Alright I think I’m done. I think I’ve been meaning to do it for a long time, but have just been putting it off. Just waiting for that gem of a chapter to come out. If you’ve ever been lonely on the new year, or Christmas then you know how I feel about this chapter. Right now, I feel like Gary the Monday after the first. hearing about the crazy party Lynette threw on the new year. Happy Loneliest day of the year everyone. Good bye.

This Erin chapter feels like a side character arc. Nothing important to the plot happens. Her fraerling rock band stuff was fun, Bowom is my fav fraerling, but we have had so much of that and so little of Erin DOING impactful things. She has to figure out how to deal with Gods and yet there is literally no urgency in her situation. None. A goblin king appeared in her inn and she is doing rock concerts?? Sure she can trust Lyon and co to handle it, but like. The Goblin King is a HUGE event. Like. HUGE. Why does she seem so nonplussed about everything she's missed? I feel like the way this arc, specifically these last few Erin chapters, were handled really diminished Erin's coming out because it just felt so forced. It was literally started by Erin getting mad about Matha, Ulvama, and Armpits. As a gay man, i absolutely understand the armpit thing. But like cmon. That's the straw that broke the camel's back? Really? Yugh. Glad she's finally out, but the plot is advancing glacially. The palace of fates was also glacial. It just feels like filler. I think you have too many ideas and need to let some go to get things moving again. Love your work and will be a loyal reader always. I just fell in love with TWI because the story kept moving while incorporating interesting side characters and their perspectives. But now... I think there are just too many side characters and the plot is being diluted because you have so many loose threads. I dont have answers, and you're a better writer than I'll ever be, but please consider what i said. I am hoping I do not come off rude, as these are just my opinions and I am trying to be constructive. That said I'm an intense person so i apologize if i came off harshly. Love your work, love TWI and i love that Erin is finally out. I just hope some groups can meet up so chapters can be consolidated to help things move forward? I will say the Garry aspects were great though. I am happy it tied into and moved forward the antinium plot, which was needed.

Sadly hating the way Erin's storyline is running. I liked the idea of being helped take steps out of her comfort zone but just feels like a forced romance to me if its going that route. Absolutely adored Gary though!!! It was fabulous and loved some more Antinium views/background.

I kept waiting for Erin to talk not to resolve things, but to connect and instead the story stretched the quiet for so long that it started to feel like avoidance rather than intention. 🥹 we need a the horns and the inn people talking to her.

I really like the atmosphere and the way you write emotions — it’s very immersive, and the imagery is strong. That said, I sometimes feel like the story lingers a bit too long on the same feeling or moment. There are stretches where the prose is beautiful, but it’s kind of circling the same emotional point without moving the scene forward. By the end of a paragraph, I don’t always feel like I’ve learned something new or that the situation has changed — just that the mood has been reinforced again. I think tightening some of that would actually make the impactful moments hit harder. The fluff isn’t bad, it just stacks up, and I catch myself waiting for the next action, decision, or reveal to happen. When you do move things forward, it’s great — I just want to get there a bit sooner. I think what I’m craving more of is revelation. I really enjoy the buildup and the atmosphere, but sometimes it feels like the story keeps tip-toeing around ideas instead of fully stepping into them. I don’t need everything spelled out immediately, but I do want more moments where the curtain actually pulls back — where something is explained, confirmed, or meaningfully clarified rather than just hinted at again. Sorry for the rant and thank you for the chapters.

Happy new year !

It’s like seeing a train wreck coming without being able to stop it in slow motion

oo happy new year!

As someone who was nearly that dense once... it's still painful to read. Understandable though.

So I going to say it need more Gary lol happy new year enjoy your holiday
