>I apparently stopped at the point before a mass murderer got off scot-free and I'm glad I did.
I continued for a bit longer, mostly because I enjoyed the other pov enough. But yeah, yesterday I checked the novels Wikipedia site to see what happened since I stopped.
Turns out, Erin gets “killed”, but to everyone’s surprise she isn’t actually dead. Then every character spends the entire Volume (!) trying to resurrect her while she is doing some bullshit in the land of the dead.
I don’t regret dropping it.
Ryoka: I forgot about her rejection of the levelling system.
But now I remember how much I hated her accepting the bullshit fairy magic later on. And btw, her buddy the frost faerie which died? She isn’t dead of course.

>Wandering Inn was such a series of missed opportunities and cop outs.
The major problem is that the story spends so much time to explain the world. It invites the reader to question the world in a way that no other litrpg story had. And it answered these questions, even when the answer was not pretty.
No, people are not equal. Sacrificing ten level 10 warriors to create a single level 20 warrior is worth the price if you don’t care about the individual.
Goblins can be reasoned with. But there is a reason why every goblin should be dead. It’s sad and you can feel pity for them. I can fully understand Erins motivation. But the hate the other species feel for these fuckers isn’t unreasonable. It came from near extermination of all sentient species. A guitar playing goblin in an inn won’t change their perception of them.

However, while the story explains all this stuff it never follows through.
There is a death penalty for certain crimes. But it never gets put into effect.
There is a reason why an alien race like the antinium is feared (and we know that people who mistrusts them are 100% correct). But suddenly everyone is accepting and they turn into normal people. They can even fall in love with humans now! Does it makes? Doesnt this destroy the entire principal of the antinium species?
Who cares! But patreons can do all the stupid fan stuff and be happy about their favourite characters falling in love with each other.
