I really like how you juxtaposed how the Lady's skills can be completely good (the Spider) then how the hey run rough shod over people & places (how rude!) big (Liscor) or small (Pryde coming back for round two). Very glad for the character of Lady El -- to balance off the big three & fix the Olesm situation. :( I'll miss her when she flames out.
When is the next new chapter out?
Supposed to be today on patron, and the 26 for the public release
I'm just glad that Erin seems to have finally realized if she wants her hug bubble to keep existing she'll need to actually leverage her personal power and the connections she's made with purpose instead of whimsy.
Come back soon Pirate I need my fix 😝
God I hope it is today 🧟♀️
I agree with Mrsha. I like lyonette and I like pawn, but I hate them together. Leaving aside other issues, pawn is basically a child. Even now he still has almost no understanding of social interaction, this is basically rape as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, but levelling in InnWorld makes the magic of the world give you sentience, independence and implicit class attributes. Pawn's general knowledge may not be great but he has become pretty wise. Not really a child, but more like wise young adult. But the relationship should have stayed platonic. There should have been no scope for sexual attraction there - it doesn't even make sense
I'm a bit surprised this chapter that more wasn't made about three ladies walking through Liscor like they own the place. I mean that's an obvious point against Democracy in a world where people are fundamentally unequal. I wonder how Palass gets around lower level senators and representatives meeting with foreign high level people
I guess the politician classes will have [Charm] skills of their own. A nobles [Aura] might slip thanks to [Greasy Personality]. And classes like [Communist], [Revolutionary] and [Socialist] will probably have skills like [Power of the People], [Anti Aura Field], [Enduring Heart of Freedom], [All Are Equal] :)
Love Lyonette and Pawn's relationship. While I agree some the recent escalation of their relationship (MR2) did come out of left field I don't really see an issue with it. I hope the nuances of their relationship get characterized more so people are less prone to "hate" on them though. In hindsight in might have been better to slowly trickle in their increasing levels of interaction ever since the dance from oh so many chapters ago but whelp what can you do.
The POV characters have been around humans, yes. The writer could create a human character or have rewritten a character with the express intent of being a human love interest for another human. The writer could also create or have rewritten an Earthworlder that's studying materials science and engineering. The absence of either does not mean the writer disapproves of human v human relationships or my particular field of study.
Oh ffs. Can't we have at least one normal human with human relationship? Every single PoV character is either single or in an inter-species relationship. The first couple of times it was a cute story about love beating the odds. Now it just feels like having a fetish shoved down my throat. And this isn't even just a furry fetish, because those people are still human beneath the costume. At the current rate you might as well have a gorilla from Earth get summoned in and start banging Teres. Gorillas are capable of learning sign language and holding conversations with their keepers. That makes them an intelligent species, and since that currently seems to be the only qualifying factor for relationships in the story, why not go for it? I'll tell you why. It's because it's gross.
TWI has Thomast and lady Bethal. Also, about 50 widows/widowers
I keep seeing comments on how people dislike Lyonnette. Hate is a great motivator for getting people to type, so I would like to provide some balance to the comments you are seeing. Thank you for providing Lyon as a character that balances out Erin, pirateba. Lyon's role also has served as a bridge perspective between "that crazy innkeeper" and the ruling classes (literally! did you get the pun? sorry). Without Lyonnette in the story, we wouldn't really have an "insider" alternative perspective of: how would someone with skills in social deftness handle the situations Erin finds herself involved in? What would happen if someone similarly motivated as Erin is, went about trying to affect change in a not-blunt way? Sure Erin has her moments where she's planned ahead and pulls off a heist with her stratagem, but for the large part she is portrayed as a character who indulges in her impulses to affect change on the weird world. Which really is probably what we all love most about her :) I think it's typically hard for people in general to indulge in BEHOLD! MY WHIMSY Thank you again for the forethought you've invested in this story to incorporate so many perspectives. I hope what I've written helps if you ever felt lonely or down by your characters being hated. I've never written a story (yet?) before, but I could see how much pressure an audience could have on a creator. Hah, I say thank you "again" like I've ever typed this out before. My thoughts here were pretty long overdue given how long I've Patreonized this story for. I cannot state how highly I value my contribution to your Patreon because it is so rare and hard to find reasonable voices in the current age that actually want to listen let alone portray *all* perspectives, instead of shutting down everything into dualities, just because it's easier for us to think about things when they are in categories, and hate.
I agree. I love the current direction of the story and almost all the recent chapters have been so amazing.
Thanks! Enjoy your well deserved break 🙂
Is anyone else pissed about how Pryde acted? Barges in with demands and condescension then is indignant that she isn’t given respect. I didn’t like that Lyon stepped in. I’ve been liking Lyon less and less lately as she tries to curtail Erin more and more
I actually like how Lyon was able to get over her greed and deny Pryde's demand to purchase the weights. If she hadn't interrupted Erin the 7 earthers would have died. She actually did a good job of adopting Erin's methods to deal with both Magus and Pryde. Between overcoming her greed, adopting Erin's method of dealing with powerful people, and finally seeing herself in the 7 earthers I feel she has gotten past her bad habits which have been so annoying in book 7.
Have a great break! We look forward to you getting back! 😘
Gnolls don’t do acrobatics. Mrsha really didn’t like heights, or cartwheels or anything that altered her sense of gravity in https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/25/6-28/ This was explicitly stated in that chapter. But here she is doing all kinds of acrobatics. Please fix this - I truly hate it when a backstory completely changes
Mrsha was a kid who was just learning how to walk on two feet. Of course she wouldn't like any of those things at that point in her life. And the "I don't *think* gnolls do acrobatics" comes from Lyonette, who wasn't even sure about it, hadn't even seen anyone do a cartwheel before. Also, in that same chapter: >“Easy! It’s not hard, Mrsha. Although maybe a handstand would be simpler. But I bet you can do it. Want to try one on your own?” >Mrsha shook her head vigorously. But after four more slow cartwheels, she did give it a try. Erin and Lyonette applauded wildly and Mrsha raced around, looking delighted. >“You have to learn to do that so you can show Krshia. She’ll be very impressed. Right, Erin?”
Thank you for the chapter. Enjoy your break :)
I'm glad Olesm is finally no longer being a mopey little drake. Shame about Maviola and the whole 2 weeks thing but I'm sure Olesm will be alright.
Holy crap, Maviola is ~300 years old, and she's only level 49? It really puts Erin in perspective.
Hey she's only a little under Chaldions age! How rude! :P
The idea of tending people's fires is lovely. Thank you for it :)
Mavoila is hereby charged with "corruption of the youth[Olesm] of the city-state [Liscor].
Amazing job!
Omg this was amazing I loved it. We will miss you until next week
It seems like Maviola's lvl is too high. After that discussion from Lyonette about the better the class you have the harder it is to level and the fact that the El family is so poor, its odd that Maviola is such a high level, it doesn't quite make sense. I feel like it would make more sense for her to be under lvl 40 as a Lady.
WELL, what you say makes sense, but I raise you this: 49 is an awfully specific number, isn't it? Do you think Pirate may be planning something AMAZING and dramatic in which Maviola rises to level 50, and gets a capstone skill that changes everything before burning out in a blaze of glory? Maybe, perhaps, and this is just speculation, something having to do with a certain Stitch Witch? Doesn't that sound exciting???
Thank you! I’m so glad he is getting off his ass
Thank you and enjoy the break!
Thanks for the chapter and enjoy your break!
See ya! Go rest up and stay safe.
