I just got into this, and quite enjoyed it. Stayed up too late, even.

Thanks!
I don't think that I would be the person I am today without HPMOR; it really left its mark on me, and for that I am forever grateful.

Good to get more discussion on how/why the different artifacts are bound to Amaryllis.
Curious why the skin tattoo failed. Wondering what the high-level results of a skill as broad as "Engineering" will look like.
Gotta say, I also think the author does a good job in both the emotionally resonant scenes and the nitty-gritty worldbuilding which often appear as if they're mutually exclusive skills.

My guess as to why the tattoo failed is that the fortress is under an anti-magic field.

What if the skin mage just stole the teleport stone?

Worth the Candle is a self-insert litRPG portal fantasy, loosely based on my personal experience of falling into a portal to another world and discovering that I had a character sheet attached to my soul.
If you haven't read any of this, here's the link to the full thing.
If you want to know how to make pemmican or portable soup, I have helpfully included some "hyperlinks" earlier in this very sentence.

Oh man, your too good to us <3. This is quickly becoming my favorite litrpg. You need to work a little harder catch to the wandering inn.
Whats the best way to support the story? Any plans for a patreon?
keep up the great work!

I am sadly not fast enough to ever catch up to Wandering Inn. My current average word count is ~2600 words per day, while Wandering Inn seems to be ~3700 words per day.
I do like money, because it can be exchanged for goods and services, but I don't plan on ever monetizing this story, short of some publisher or agent coming up to me and offering me a reasonable deal (which almost certainly will not happen).
If you want to support this story, my preferences are:
- write some fanfic
- draw some fanart
- post about it somewhere
- recommend it to friends
But those are really just "things that would bring me personal happiness".

I hope youre ready for some terribly written fanfic!
