What started as a free web serial has evolved into a massive world of words that spans 21 books so far (and counting!). These books are now available as eBooks and audiobooks, but the first-ever physical paperback is arriving next month on August 11.<\/p>\n<div id=\"238991\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"238991\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-303513100 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"The Wandering Inn (Paperback)\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/05\/28\/81lvqesu2bl-sl1500-2-1779991006516.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/05\/28\/81lvqesu2bl-sl1500-2-1779991006516.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">The Wandering Inn (Paperback)<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3027214138 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\" disabled=\"\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">With the Dungeon Crawler Carl series becoming a mainstream franchise in just a few short years, other self-published authors in the LitRPG genre have started taking a similar leap to physical editions and I&#8217;m here for it.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">I had the chance to interview the author earlier this year and asked about the evolution of the series. Pirateaba had this to say about the long journey to get to this point: &#8220;The paperback is the first project I feel like I and my team have pushed for. It took years of pitching the story to find a company that was interested and for the wave of LitRPG\u2019s to allow a deal to come together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">They went on to thank popular stories like Dungeon Crawler Carl, Beware of Chicken, and Arcane Ascension for helping to boost the popularity of this type of story, saying: &#8220;Traditional book companies wouldn\u2019t be paying attention to web serials but for the fact that all of us are making a splash. A rising tide lifts all ships, and I hope I am helping in my own small way for another author to do what they want to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">Paperback Release Schedule<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In addition to the first book, there are three more titles in the series getting a planned paperback release.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>The Wandering Inn &#8211; August 11<\/li>\n<li>No Killing Goblins &#8211; September 22<\/li>\n<li>Fae and Fare &#8211; October 20<\/li>\n<li>Immortal Games &#8211; November 10<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">What Is The Wandering Inn About?<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For those who haven&#8217;t read any of these books yet, I can give you a quick rundown of what to expect. This is a LitRPG series, so much of the story is rooted in people from Earth getting pulled into another world where they can gain classes, level up, and earn skills. Much of the story centers around one such Earth girl named Erin Solstice, who finds herself stumbling upon an abandoned inn after barely surviving the harsh new world she got pulled into. And while The Wandering Inn is the heart of the series, it&#8217;s the story of all of the characters and races that Erin touches throughout the books that make it so special. Pirateaba does an incredible job weaving together plot lines to create a believable and ever-evolving fantasy world slowly being influenced by people from another world.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you&#8217;re new to The Wandering Inn, I&#8217;d suggest reading it online for free to start. If you prefer to listen to books, I also highly recommend checking out the audiobook versions. The first book is one of the best fantasy audiobooks to use your audible credits on because it&#8217;s over 48 hours of content.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Jacob Kienlen is a Senior Audience Development Strategist and Writer for IGN.
