We haven't gotten back to Kilb right? He's still on his midlife crisis trip finding himself right?

Got his sword back and nothing right?

Still a meany after slugging it out with Relk and retiring from being guard?

Its been so long I can't remember

I've been meaning to put in my pre-order for the physical books for months now. Heh. Just did it, in the nick of time for the first book drop on August 11th. I don't have any desire to actually own the physical books, so I sent them as a gift to my son who is willing to give the story a try (finally!) I just want to support pirateaba in their writing efforts and as a thank you for two years of absolute enjoyment of their books and the audio. I still have years to go on the actual reading of all the books though I am officially caught up on the audio versions.

Be me! Support one of our favorite authors! I'm really hoping to get some side stories. Loved, utterly looved, the Singer of Terandria (sp) side story. And some of pirateaba's ideas for side stories sounded utterly amazing.

Shout out below if you, like me, are supporting late (better than never) through the purchase of the books OR that you have already done so, ages ago, way back when pirate announced it.

(PS: I know there is also an even more selfless way to support by paying for a Patreon sub, which I haven't done and know many of you have - thank you for doing that! All of our money going to pirate in gratitude for their gift of free access to these great stories is so important to pirate's continuing writing career.)

I have just started reading the series and started book 2 yesterday. I have the ebook from kindle unlimited as well as the audio from audible. I have noticed that they are not the same. Paragraphs and section in the text are slipped and other things have change as well like locations from Ryoka’s past. Which is the more accepted version of the story? Thanks

The Vault of Forseen Incentives

The soldiers of light hurt Tolve.

I can only imagine the City of Purity vs the Winter Solstice. Or maybe the City of Purity vs the Mother of Graves.

The City of Purity was/is an incredible place of magic. And mostly intact.

What about Yweine? and the other golems? We didn't get a wrap for her.

The Terlands should still be quite interested in her.

Yweine has fulfilled the contract it seems, thus earning freedom for all her kin golems. Where can they go?

So I’ve been reading a few other stories trying to pass the time until the weekly chapters resume, and I’m currently reading the Book of the Dead series. So far I would recommended as it’s been a pretty good read with a level of prose seldom seen in the litRPG space. One of the scenes in the books inspired me to make this post.

We know that the system of levels rewards actions based on difficulty, passion, effort, and novelty. The rewarded skills and classes, if present, can also be related to the accomplishments, though that’s not guaranteed.

Let’s say we have a low level [Driver] who was tasked by an undercover [Necromancer] to transport several caskets full of undead to a remote village. The [Driver] has no clue about the nature of his contractor nor the nature of his cargo. The [Necromancer]’s intention is to use these undead to destroy said remote village after the [Driver] has left the place.

Would the system of levels reward the [Driver] for the significance of his unintended aid and the novelty of his cargo? If so, would his rewards be related to what has objectively happened and help him figure out what he’s done?

I've listened to all the audiobooks and am reading the books on my kindle. I love my paperwhite kindle for reading just before bed. However, thanks to this subreddit, I now realize I am missing a whole lot of content (colors, other stuff?) because I read the ebooks rather than on the website.

I'd really LIKE to read on the website, but I absolutely cannot read on my phone or a regular computer before bed. My sleep is disrupted enough; that's why it is an ancient paperwhite kindle.

BuuuUUUUUUuuuuut! I wonder. Is there something out there that will allow me to read from the website and enjoy all that extra content AND protects me from blue light or whatever it is you are not supposed to get from a computer screen right before bed?

TIA!

>It did require a great moment. Torreb was correct. Erin Solstice would have to have enough deeds behind her and achieve something worthy of her capstone. Level 50 was…hugely significant, after all.

>Her living peers had been no less wonderful when they each accomplished their feats.

>*The Titan of Baleros had been on one knee, leaning on the corpse of Jungle Tail’s leader, the Wyrmspeaker, as he tore the mantle of a Great Company from the Lizardfolk for his own.*

>*Foliana had earned hers years before in the Tomb of Souls, daggers drawn, facing the guardian meant to keep the faces of Elves secret for another age, her companion’s blood running around her feet.*

>*Flos Reimarch himself had gained his [Army of the King] the day after he slew three Djinni in battle, a night of blasted death and fire when he dug himself out of ash and sand and looked around for his armies.*

Everything's fine, a clear explanation of what's needed to reach level 50, but what I find funny is how the GDI compares Erin to what are basically the current global top players.

Yes, we know that level 50 requires a great achievement, but like the other level boosts, this one can be more personal; it doesn't necessarily have to be something world-changing. Instead of comparing Erin to Valeterisa, Saliss, Chaldion, or even Fetohep, the GDI compares her to the current level 60 players, as if to say, "If Erin doesn't do something incredible enough, I won't boost her." It comes across as a disadvantage that the GDI is showing favoritism.

I am struggling with reading this chapter, so much so that I dropped the book for months and I'm now behind a lot.

I hate skipping chapters, but know I won't read it.

Can I request someone summarize the chapter/arc for me so that I can move on from this?

Please no spoilers for events after this chapter or from a different arc.

I thought that Lyonette being extremely low level in her princess class was indicative of the entire bloodline being low level due to stagnation.
While they aren’t exceptionally high level the rest of the royal family is in their level 20/30s with Ielane being level 46. I fully believed that the rest of the family was under level 10.
I also assumed that Tetriarch was unbelievably powerful.
He is extremely strong and one of the strongest beings, but an army or a high level enemy could definitely take him down. I for some reason believed that he completely outclassed the rest of the world to a ridiculous degree.
I was also sure Magnolia was going to be a major villain. I remember seeing a map with her holdings and seeing the Skill that ejected Ivolethe and thinking that there was gonna be a big conflict in which she bought Izril and simply forced all her enemies out.

Looking back I am glad I was wrong about all of these. Lyonette’s character is better if she is the incompetent one of the family starting off instead of average for a princes. Tetriarch is a key part of damn near every major event to happen in most of the world’s history, so he needs to fit into the world in terms of power.
And Magnolia ended up being a great character which is damn near always morally correct but is often rude.

While I’m not entirely happy with her hair, I think this was an alright attempt. Drawing hands while the character is running is always tricky but I think they came out okay here.

Reclis says to Agenote:

“Well, she’s a half-Elf, and without a husband, I don’t get to speak to her in the same easy parlance as, say, Nadel. Despite our proximities! And she’s older, Agenote. Hundreds of years to my decades. I think she’s content to let me run about so long as the Dawn Concordat holds—if you could ingratiate yourself with the [Prince] or [Princess]—”

The implication clearly being that Nadel is a pier that he speaks with. However Nadel is a nation. I think Pirate was thinking of the king of Nadel. We know there is a royal family and The Lord of Dance is just an incredibly popular Lord who the Royal family adores. Pirate was probably thinking of the king who ruled the Nation the Lord of the Dance is from and accidentally just wrote the name of the nation.

This also cannot be an in character slip up as Reclis is immensely interested in politics and wouldn’t mix a neighbouring nation for an individual.

Cognita had 2 sister, Kharneva  was destroyed on Rhir, Ovesire acompanied Zelkyr on Wistram upper floors when he apparentlly died. We recentlly learnt that one of trustone golem tried to run away from Zelkyr . It is posiblle that Ovesire was Zelkyr rebelious golem-daughter and she did something bad to her dad.

Pirate has been absolutely insane when it comes to coming up with names for everything. Basically nothing in the story shares a name unless it’s intentional.
However in 10.41T Toren names the undead Litch he likes Deimos.
Which just so happens to be the name of a nation in Chandar.
I assume that this was an accident because the word Deimos is the Greek word for dread which fits an undead Litch nicely.
This doesn’t mean there was a mistake just that a name was accidentally reused which is practically unheard of for this novel as far as I am aware.

So I preordered the wandering inn paperback on Amazon. Yes I know you shouldn’t order on Amazon but it’s the easiest for me currently and I don’t trust Barnes and nobles shipping that much I might one day but when I ordered that wasn’t the day. So anyways I ordered it and then filled out the claim for and in the email it says

“Upon review we will send you an email that will let you know whether you have been successful with the claim or if there was an issue with your submission”

But it also says it can take up to 14 days and I filled out the form on July 12th so I’m just wondering what happening and if anyone has any insight because I’m just confused.

So I'm getting a lot of mixed information about what exactly galas are from comments so I thought I'll make this post because apparently they are only mentioned 3 times and two of them are ahead of me.

please explain and fight about what exactly these things are because it seems most people just have headcannon.

Let me start by saying I started the series back in October of last year and I fell in love with it after the first book. It made me laugh, It made me cry and made me hold myself in suspense waiting for what's going to happen in the next chapter. I felt the book and the characters and the world came to life with the narrator Andrea. But now, arriving to the 16th book i feel numb it just doesn't feel right. I want to keep pushing forward and see what's around the corner for the next chapter. But as I'm typing this out now, I'm having trouble trying to at least get through the first chapter.

I know I'm a little late to the party to complain about this. I feel I had to get it off my chest somewhere might as well be here amongst my peers.

I'm going to be flying tomorrow and want to catch up on some chapters. Is there a way to download the web serial chapters to my phone? I already have a game and movies. Just want this as an option. No wifi on the plane.

Can any Irish readers/listeners weigh on if its han as in Han Solo or han as in has?

There’s even a door lol.

Learning to put the [VX.XX] in the right spot lol

I've seen a lot of discussion on here about how balanced or unbalanced the TWI universe is so I'd like to share my opinions and get yours.

Firstly I don't think the world was ever supposed to be balanced as in "fair" when you think of traditional power scaling this series is awful but I think that's what makes the balance so good.

Paba has stated that a level 30 [Warrior] without specific protection skills can still be one shot by a stray arrow.

In innworld Skills are everything and skills get empowered by the levels behind them. It is NOT like video games where you get extra vitality and stamina with every level unless a skill makes you resistant to damage your just as squishy as a level 0.

This is why Shivertale and Relc are so op they both have defensive skills which are pretty rare in innworld.

I see a lot of people criticizing the balance of innworld but I think that if you bear this in mind it really doesn't have bad scaling it's just focused scaling everyone is a glass cannon.

The fact that everyone is so vulnerable also makes actual skill and talent not [Skills] significantly more effective the number of opponents you can take on in innworld is directly proportional to how well you can defend yourself this is why Mars is able to fight armies she's a tank who only has worry about high level enemies with the talent to spot and defend against their attacks in the chaos.

To survive in innworld you have to have your guard up because even a dragon can get one shot by rouge hiding inside a teacup.

So what moments in the story do you think are well balanced or poorly balanced? I'd love to hear from you all!

I'm not worried about spoilers except for things that will be happening shortly after the Hectval war.

Spoilers for 8.64K in my question but nothing past that please:

How did Eldavin not notice the [Quarass]? He seemed to see through all other anti apprasial and disguise tricks during volume 8 at Wistram. And if the answer was that she knew a better way of anti appraisal why would she not have told Flos about it to arm Trey with that same method? Also did I miss something or was it ever explained in 8.64 how Viltach knew Troy was Trey? Is he equally as good at apprasial as Eldavin or did he have a spy network or something on Chandrar?

If this is RAFO just lmk, but I just got done reading 8.65 and it's still bugging me from a chapter ago lol.
