challenging
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
1.0
- Congrats nobody else has ever done it worse
- Okay, that's hyperbole, a lot of the strengths of Worm are still here. These are extremely convincingly written traumatised characters, who might end up stuck in your head
- But then you realise that the plots worked through like 4 potentially fine antagonists to wind to a conclusion that doesn't mean anything, that doesn't resolve any character flaws or really even arcs. It just like. Fizzles out and is done. And all the hard decisions we made along the way didn't really matter.
- Andd then he makes the last gay character he hasn't made a predator left a predator.
the neurodivergent little baby teenager. so, like, you know? - II can't say it's not worth reading. but the more you genuinely care about the characters or the previous work or like, the decent pacing of previous works, the more it'll exhaust you.
- ohh my god she's such a cop
