I made !Worm@lemmy.blahaj.zone because I finished reading Worm and didn't have enough friends to talk to about it. So now I'm asking you to read Worm and come look at confusing out of context memes!
Want a pitch?
On Taylor Hebert's first night out in costume, she mind controlled a brown recluse to necrotise a gang leader's dick off. That's the second worst thing she did to him.
I gave up on it on the first real chapter because Wildbow was still repeating the extremely obnoxious pattern of withholding critical information for understanding the significance of a scene -- like who the fuck the primary characters in a scene actually are -- until the end of a chapter. He started doing that heavily in Pact, IIRC.
It's 7600+ words in Daybreak 1.1 before the main character provides their own name! 15+ 8.5x11 pages at ~12pt font of being coy about who the protagonist is!
Maybe someone took Wildbow by the shoulders after that and shook him and said "STOP DOING THAT, THAT'S OBNOXIOUS!" and it gets better -- I don't know; he lost me as a reader with that chapter.
