Not all that bad of a premise, but the 1st and 2nd-ish chapters were definitely a bad read. 90% of the story thus far was a back-and-forth circular conversation, in which nothing moves forward and they only go around in pointless circles; "but I am." "but you're not." "But what if I am?" "But you're NOT.." "but what if I am?" fuck me.
It'd be nice if the story would be less about how amazing and eccentric the innkeeper is, and actually about the adventurer's who get to "metagame". Right now, the author is sucking off his avatar a bit too hard.
