The Wandering Inn Volume 1 & 2 -- Patreon Access

Where should I write the password?

how do I get access to the webcomic when I am a Patreon member? I enter the password and it does nothing.

The paywall is reasonable but I think it needs more then the first chapter to get readers hooked. It took me about 5 or 6 chapters to get hooked, this amount needs to be free and it will also benefit Harper Collins as it will allow that new serial readers grow into book buyers.

So it's still OK to gift membership, a month full pension at the inn gives access to 1-"4"?

Already ordered my physical copies. Very excited for The Wandering Inn gaining a wider readership and broader availability, plus the inimitable cool factor of being able to place these on the bookshelf alongside other beloved series. I’m sure the $1 charge for reading online will prove no barrier to anyone who understands that supporting the author is the obvious ethical complement to enjoying their work.

Something HarperCollins might go for, is making the first part of the first book free online. Maybe through 1.16 (Erin invites the Goblins for dinner after killing their chieftan): 1.18 (beating Lism at chess and the "no killing Goblins" sign) or 1.19 (First Ryoka chapter). That'd be enough to really give people a taste for the story, but still make them want to buy the book if they like it.

Wait I am so confused why are these being paywalled??? The whole point of the TWI is that it’s a webnovel people can read online…

Is there any update on the error code? It tells me everything is forbidden but for my.membership I should be able to keep reading.

I'm getting the same 403 error code as a lot of other people. Think it's likely an issue with the cloud flare integration. Seems to be causing issues with the book and the webcomic.

Cant access volume 1-3 today through patreon link and password anymore. 403 error code *update: switching my default browser fixed this problem for me. Switched from Google chrome to Firefox.

So I'm part way through book 3 and now when I try to go into the site to continue reading and click on the troll it bumps me back to chapter 1 of the first book and when I click on next chapter I get a 404 error code. Yes I am a patron

Is something going on with the website? I haven’t been able to access the books 6 or 7 since yesterday.

Just preordered each of the paperback copies from Barnes and noble! I am curious about what the editing entails- I swear I remember one of Erin’s speeches about Chess very differently to my second read through and it has been driving me crazy to know if it changed or if I somehow skipped the one I have been thinking about.

Where is the pre buy? My dumb ass is to tired to find it....

And the autographed hardcover?

Is it normal I only see the Volume 1 part 1 and 2? I can seem to be able to order volume 2 part ine and two in paperback for Canada.

Some of you have a ridiculous attitude. Paying 1$ to start reading the story is not going to stop new readers. New reader read book series and pay 10-20$ per book so that is never an issue.

Just signed up to Patreon for the first time in order to be able to have access to the text in parallel to listening to audiobooks. I'm actually a very new fan and just about to finish with book 1. I really don't mind the paywall at all (especially for only 1$), what I'm much more curious about is how the rewrites done for book 2 are incorporated into the audiobook. I already started with the book 1 rewrite version of the audiobook, so I really don't want to start on book 2, before the audiobook has also been updated to match it. But I'm a bit worried about Andrea having left the series and whether she would still be willing to do the "second edition" updates for book 2. Any information on that front?

Agree with the comments above about putting the first two volumes behind paywalls. It's kind of disappointing and harder for new readers to get on board. Additionally as more print editions for the later volumes are published, it's pretty clear that the online chapters will subsequently follow the same pattern. I'm a long time fan and reader but this isn't the way to go, even if it means getting amazing print copies out!

I’m also probably in the minority but I’m also a new reader so maybe the series veterans have more insight but does the author start to actually justify the nasty attitude towards Pisces? Right now NONE of the contempt he receives is justified outside of his choice to be a necromancer. Erin is constantly rude and disrespectful towards him for no reason whatsoever. The adult in me is getting a little annoyed at what seems to be bullying. There just isn’t enough in this book right now to justify his treatment so I’m left thinking he’s a character based off of someone she knows personally or just poorly written. Everything he’s done so far (after his first attempt to rob Erin) has been HELPFUL. He’s a genius, why wouldn’t Erin give him a room at the inn to HELP? No one cares enough about him to wonder where he lives. The MC knows he’s ostracized for the most part but only offers him 1 meal a day? But she will bring in a known thief with a vile attitude as a barmaid? Don’t get me wrong, I have strong opinions about Erin as well. But it seems the author at least acknowledges that Erin is supposed to be destructively naive and willfully ignorant yet she gives no real reason for why Pisces is treated the way he is. She actually contradicts herself because the characters seem to understand Lyonnettes behavior yet, as stated above, Pisces is not even close to nasty as she is. And she gets a bed?! Erin literally saw his attempt to pay her back only to have it all confiscated and that counted for NOTHING? Just one free meal and nasty treatment. What has he done to deserve that it’s really frustrating.

So I had to pay for the Kindle because these links do NOT work. I got to Book 2 Chapter 29 and hadn’t been able to move forward.

I think something is wrong with the site. I'm logged in as a patron but when I try to read past chapter 1.34 it just gives me a page talking about buying the books. Navigating directly from the links in this post seem to work though.

Where can I preorder?

Really hope the paywall is temporary and just lasts through the initial launch of the physical books. It will really hurt the ability of new readers to start. It's much harder for me to recommend it to a friend when its paid rather than free

Are there plans for a digital version of the full, rewrote first book, that is not on Patreon? Patreon is really painful to read on (it is not a good platform to read a book). I bought the first book on Kindle, but it is the old version, and losses a lot of content.

Imagine my frustration when I wanted to pre-order the books and was told there is no delivery option to Bulgaria. There is delivery options for mid Africa but not Europe. Go figure...

not that I could store it without a storage unit but I'd love to see this in braille anyway. or on bard or bookshare. Happy to support though. Thank you for the story! it really is my top favorite

Already pre-ordered. I only had Patreon because I felt bad not giving anything after getting such an amazing world and story. Glad I can support you. You deserve it.

I'm excited that there's going to be physical copies and I've already pre-ordered a copy from Amazon*. Is this going to lead to any changes to the way the story is written? Does the publisher have any say over the content of the story? By that I mostly mean is the publisher going to push you to write the story in a certain way or shorten the way the you write? *Will you be doing any kind of collectible version, like selling signed copies yourself? Will you make available ebook copies of the story to long term Patrons or create accounts on your website that will allow for permanently unlocked access to the early volumes as they're published? I say this as nicely as possible, but I and a lot of others have given you quite a lot of money over the years through Patreon to support you writing this story and sharing it with us. I don't expect things for free and I don't have an issue with you taking down free access in general now that you're going to be publishing the book. That being said, it's more than a little aggravating that you're telling me I'll have to continue paying you every month to continue to have access to content that, no offense to you, I feel I've already paid you for. I've been a Patron for over four years now, I think I've earned continued access to the story.

I appreciate you making it so easy to pirate (and pay for). I assume that this was a token measure, so that the publisher doesn't have to publicly violate their exclusivity policy (which would make it harder for them to negotiate for that policy with other authors).

The team has obviously been doing a lot of work on the new website. Are there any future plans to have books 1&2 more supported through that page? like an account that is linked to patron. Having this this post be the TOC is such a waste when so much work has been put into website UI design (and much harder to recommend).

While i love the fact that the books will be edited as physical copies and am 100% planning to buy them, putting books 1 and 2 behind paywalls will be a major blow for new readers of the series. I understand that this is likely enforced by the publisher and that the 1 dollar Tier is your attempt at finding a workaround to this issue, I can't help but think this is saddening. I personally wouldn't be a patreon if the story's ealry chapters had been behind paywalls when I first started. I also worry the paywall might have the unintended consequence of encouraging starting readers to drift towards pirated copies of TWI, since I'm guessing many webnovel fans are too young to become paid patrons. Idk maybe I'm going on meaningless tangents here. Still, it's amazing that TWI will finally get printed, I love this for you

I love that you are getting physical copies of the first two volumes. I want to own them. I will not be buying them because of this right here.

Wait, what? Is there really no way to avoid this?

So am I understanding that right that the first two volumes as they are on the website rn will be put behind patreon? While I get that it's an incentive to sell the books (which I'm super excited for), I feel like it really ruins the onboarding for new readers, coz they're gonna have to either get the books (money investment) or join the patreon (which is a bit to ask, and not because of the price tag). I know it's not my decision but I felt compelled to give my two cents as a long-time reader.

"Today, I lost more than you could know."

Aaa I dont understand it says physical copy all I see is links can someone explain what this post means

The physical book will look good next to pan i bought

AHHHH I CAN'T WAIT

Excited to have the books in physical form!!

Great I think I’ll love having the physical book in my hands.
