[Announcement] Book 2 now live on Amazon!
🕑 Added 2025-12-31 10:33:14 +0000 UTCI can't believe it's already launch day for book 2!
It feels like yesterday that the first one was released. I know that I've said this many times, but I'll keep saying it because it's true:
I'm eternally grateful to everyone who has supported me over the past year and a half. Writing The Lone Wanderer is fun, and you've made it even more so.
You can grab the ebook or audiobook on Amazon. The paperback should also be out soon - in fact, I'm not sure why it got delayed, but I'm sure it'll get sorted out in the next couple of days.
As always, I'll continue to post new chapters daily on Royal Road and Patreon, so if you prefer reading here you can do so uninterrupted. However, if you want to support me further and/or want to freshen up on the polished version of the earlier books or listen to the narrated version, this is the best time to do that.
We're carrying over the rank milestones from before, so our next goal is for either book 1 or book 2 to reach #750, and later, #500. I don't know how easy it'll be because competition is fierce once you break into the top 1000, but I think we can do it.
For context, Book 1 previously peaked at #800~something, so we already got super close. As long as this launch goes just slightly better, we'll probably get there in the next few days.
As a reminder, reading on Kindle Unlimited counts as a regular sale, so it's immensely helpful to read it there during launch week if you have it. Early momentum is important for visibility.
Thank you all and have a happy new year!

It was mentioned that they could generate any affinity besides Beast that they have in either bodies channels. I don't think they can actually a Boosting art without the corresponding affinity core being in their body. Admittedly Soul and potentially mind, depending on how its channels work, could be exceptions. For the Gravity ingredients, they are secondary ingredients, so their Grade doesn't need to be that high. Admittedly when he exceeds Green with Compression, he'll likely need to Compress them or find another source of Gravity mana.

Congratulations on another release, PathOfPen. I was wondering if you could answer a few quick questions for me. Back in chapter 480, Percy compresses his yellow healing potions into green ones. But he needs gravity ingredients to do this, and he only has orange ones, which should have diminished effects when used to compress a yellow potion, as compared to an orange one. Did Percy just have to add way more orange gravity ingredients to make it work? And is something like that even sustainable, as you keep compressing up the color realm? And one last question. How can Wanderer's two bodies perform the boosting arts for the cores they don't have? From what we know, the boosting arts work because they simply extend the ability of a mana core to convert ambient mana across a person's mana channels, and into the external flow. Is Wanderer simply extending this ability from the corresponding core, across their soul, into the other body? Or can anyone perform any boosting art, if the have the tempered channels for it, and enough mana to start the process?

Eh, that's the same I think because it counts like a sale in Amazon's algorithm either way. i mostly meant that if you already have Kindle Unlimited it's better to read there than the free epub you guys must have been emailed a day or two ago.

Quick question so it’s better to use kindle instead of audiobook if it’s just for support?

I'm not really knowledgeable about this so can someone explain what happens now that I can't read book 1 and 2 here??
