... Quack. I mean, enjoy your break!

Ashenka

I am so relieved. I did something absolutely insane and haven’t been reading since the red scar interlude. I still have no idea how I held on this long but now I can finally binge it! Goodbye sleep! Goodbye sanity!

Yay what a good birthday present for me ^_^

Teared up a bit when Mrsha came back. I wonder if Erin’s quest unfailed?

The benefit to being up to date on the story: You have a large number of people reading the story at the same pace and general stopping points if you want to speculate on where you think the story is going. If you ever run into a fellow fan, you don't have to worry about spoilers. Waiting for a completed work before starting to read just entices people to spoil more to get you hooked into it.

Erika Peluso

SPOILERS! I was hoping to read a few atta girls/boys/theys, pleSedont start your talking points with spoilers for the hundreds of folks who aren't there yet. Courtesy - PLEASE!

Clarence Grant

You deserve a good break. Take your time.

PearsMan

Read it. Rest well. Thoughts are mixed. Good job this arc is finished

Chris

It’s three different links, it’s more than likely much higher than 60k.

Jazz

Woo! I really loved this.

Charble

I like to think the GDI stands for “g-dammit” because of how exhausting it was to write 😂 enjoy your break!

RedGoblin

Considering the statue exists in the [Garden] i think its still failed… though due note its just the Impossible portion. *shrugs*

Jesper Hansen

Wow, this arc got a lot of hate... I didn't dislike the arc, I found it quite interesting and I feel rather satisfied with the conclusion.. I'll say what I did in another comment tho, what fell short for me in this whole arc was the cliffhangers, almost every chapter was a cliffhanger throughout the whole arc.. And that feels horrible and is somewhat reminiscence of the interest grab of normal web novels and cultivation stories, just without the cash grab aspect... As you mentioned tho, the arc imo will be a whole lot better for people reading the whole thing and not chapter by chapter. P.S. And yeah, I still don't understand how the story will continue, 75% of the nations and people should be looking to destroy the Inn as it literally spawns world ending scenarios

Tim Baril

The whole arc was a crazy rollercoaster, and the ending an unexpected twist. I love reading this story.

zinwam

I saw 94k + somewhere in the Author notes ;) enjoy !

zinwam

Loved it ! Very satisfied with the end. I’m glad it wasn’t all for nothing and we have real consequences + characters I really missed. Enjoy your vacation ! It’s really well deserved

Rukshan

Really liked the song at the end. Added to the satisfaction of the arc and nostalgic af

Isaac Boyles

That was amazing, and unlike some I really enjoyed this arc. Or....well, it was painful so it feels strange to say that I enjoyed it, but it feels right. It resonates, touches the deep chords within. It had depth. This was worth the waiting

PearsMan

While our Erin wasn’t here she did try her best in containing the goblin lord and everyone who came and sticks around is because of her and her inn. If even the GDI acknowledges then shouldn’t she get something too? We’ve seen farmers lvl up when people eat their products so wouldn’t an innkeeper lvl up for ppl using her inn and the bonds made through the place? Also with everyone believing she’s chaos I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten anything related to that.

Billy

I liked the epilogue!! Please rest up and relax!!

RedGoblin

In all honesty for how many times has Erin’s Inn has been destroyed. That Ragathsgi Skill fits Erin as an aspect to, build it better and stronger again and again. Heck she’s got strurdy walls and small heal… she should get a combined skill that does both, and as an [Aspect of the Inn] a 95% heal and a 5% x %damage healed as an overall stackable permanent body/Inn buff (ie cannot be dispelled). It would heal scars and everything unless directed not to, except magical mutations, ie her hair and mana infused body. Which she may be developing that way already considering after the Goblin Kings death the [Garden] door was already fixed. And i completely agree with you on Erin. Think of it like a boss or Ceo who owns multiple businesses they take credit from each location. In this case Erin is a [Wandering Innkeeper] she should still get credit for her main Inn, but more than likely in INN world they funnel into one spot ie Lyonnete… WAIT! If anyone remembers, but In a Syles Chapter she mentioned helping a [Tailor] owner open multiple shops from Invrizal into Liscor. So if its beneficial for that [Tailor] owner it should be for Erin as well no? Even though its Shops vs Inn’s. Idk we have never seen a case of one owner owning multiple stores or food eateries… Erin could be one of the few aloud the privilege? Which makes me wonder that this whole system prevents monopoly’s and adds diversity. (ie from the skills) most if not all skill derive from one entity to one thing.

Dockle

Am I crazy or does it seem like there is more to this particular chapter set than is apparent to the reader? Is someone else starting a sanctioned fan fiction world? Is The Crosswords a reference to a different author’s universe?? Were there two Pirates and one is done writing????? Buh, I’m probably reading too much into it.

PearsMan

Great points. Just to add: Chain stores are a thing. Lara’s vice inkeeper plans on doing exactly that in the new lands, even offering Ishrk one. We also know ivrirsss family owned a bunch of mines not just one mine and profit and gain levels accordingly for the whole business. It seems like it’s alluded to in the background but never fully explored

Mike

OMG this arc!!!!! So damn amazing and i don’t know how to feel about some silly web series making this 52 year old redneck cry like a baby. Yeah and guess what i’m from Alabama so you know we ain’t supposed to cry unless our college football team gets trounced.

PearsMan

They have been making references to the wheel of time series throughout the story, a different author n series they read in their hay day. The chicken thing is only this chapter and it’s too much honestly. It’s from another story called Beware chicken. Kind of lost my immersion with how many times it got suggested.

Dockle

I… also agree that the Beware of Chicken references were a bit much. But I know Pirate respects Casualfarmer greatly and since it’s not my story to write, then I guess I don’t mind *shrugs*

Nik

I don't care what anyone says, I loved this arc. I have criticisms but the biggest one being that I would really like a proper epilogue and see the consequences of this arc. I wanna see the new junior guardsman of Liscor. I wanna see Valceif meet his mom again. I wanna see it all but I know we're going to be starting the belaros chapter soon. I just hope we will see some of what's changed in the world, like calruz. It's been years, we need Calruz to be redeemed and a part of the story again

Nik

Also I just wanna say this, I want 10 volumes of the crossroads of worlds. 5 Erins and a goddess Erin on top, sign me up. Also fetohep, nerry, sheta and Sserys. I can just imagine all the chaos.

Nik

GD will probably bank that xp for later

RedGoblin

GDI patch fix incoming: [Queen of Undeath Level 6!] [Skill – Command Undead: Lesser obtained] [Not Found. ERROR! Found] If GDI does fix/adds this, it would further empower her connection to Tavaluka and possibly Torren. (And I am for it, further defining her as a [Queen]. which may or may not evolve into an Empress as a blessing for carrying Shetia Legacy and allowing Shetia to live again.) And I am curious how such a malicious entity was “Loved” by only one being and will never forget the feeling. (Thanks to his undead nature) He resents the “Loved” feeling only because being “Loved” is an Antithesis to his nature. And so he fights his admitting of liking it. (Now thats a true drug, rekindling his “love” he wished from his master.) Heck AZ loved his children to some extent thanks to his human-half. But more than likely Tavaloka’s master was a full blown lich with a lack of emotions.

PearsMan

Oh good point now that Khelta is back she’s going to get a related lvl that fits her

Dominik Zettelmann

I personally enjoyed the arc. Nanette meeting Califor really did it for me.

CromCruach

Will Erin get back all the skills that she lost due to the souls missing after the resurrecton that now are restored or will she be left out again?

RedGoblin

Well it was only Khelta who made it back after making some deal with GDI. So [Queen of Undeath Level 6!] may happen… or doubt it but it could also evolve into [Empress] via a blessing from Sheita. As a reward for allowing her to live again and as a her Legacy holder. *shrugs* [Queen] is also perfectly fine. I just mention it as an option because Narhavia committed, that she could see herself in her, Erin just needs a guiding hand. (HER HAND! *cough*) If anything if she does get the class back I feel she should carry a mini Khelta Sanctuary Dome that grows in claimed land. Sanctuary for the living and “dead”. If anything the necromancer Village could further perpetuate her [Queen of Undeath] level. It would be even cool if her (un)peaceful [Garden] could synergies with Khelta’s. Heck God Erin saved Khelta… Erin deserves the class.

RedGoblin

If she does get the class I wonder if and when she does go to Chandrar will she have her [Undeath] class gain an Heir equivalent class/skill… considering the [Potter] is setting up to be in an advisory role to “Queen” Erin. Or to take up the throne in Fetohep’s absence. And the fact the whole throne is passed down onto chosen individuals rather than blood. There maybe a time where we may have 2 Khelta Heirs. Similar to Jecrass rule with blood relative [Queen], [King] independent of the same country. Which we may call it Khelta 2 or some other mundane name they may think of. Now with all this unconfirmed I wonder if it came to pass what would happen to Lyonette’s [Princess] class in this scenario? Speculation/Speculation/Speculation. :)

DocAnthea

I know most people love everything you put out PABA, and I was one of them as well! Until this arc :(. I've written most of my thoughts and feelings in the websites comment section, but I just wish this arc wasn't so damn bloated. I wish the epilogue didn't invalidate some deaths I feel had a huge impact on the story and were what I considered bold but fascinating choices at the time. And I wish I didn't just lose my desire to continue reading this series. Oh well, time for my yearly re read and I hope whenever I come back, I can find the spark and the wonder that I just couldn't see in this ridiculously massive arc.

Aaron W. Smith

I read all the 'bloated' comments, but I disagree. I think its more like "The Longest Day", many stories of many people, all the heroes of their own stories. TBH, I'm impressed that you can weave so many threads together into a tapestry. Oh, there may be a gap here, a sag there, but the whole hall isn't covered yet, and I am waiting to see it all. Keep weaving.
