Best work of fiction I have ever read. I read it almost 5 years ago for the first time and I literally think about it almost every single day of my life. Scenes, powers, concepts.
Slightly ruined other super-hero based stuff for me as I just want more of this. Others are still fun, but this is what I wanted in a super-hero story that I never could put my finger on.
It hit every single point in a story that I always wanted to see. I get excited, nervous, sad, feel in awe and actually choke up during some scenes years later. Wildbow did a great job using tropes in a fresh way and also completely subverting many.
I just picked up the We Got Worm podcast (which is amazing) because I got my roommate to finally read and he found that as well. This is an amazing addition to reading it and I highly recommend it. Really helped me to understand how brilliant Wildbow is in his writing and why I loved so many parts of this story.
If you love super-hero stories or any fiction...read this. It is long but will not feel long enough. 10/10
