If you go with Wildbow, I recommend starting with Worm. (I think it's still linked above.) It's a well-thought-out superhero sci-fi story that starts with familiar superhero stuff, explains it, and then starts to break everything. It also has one of the best unreliable narrators out there, and one of my favorite protagonists. I highly recommend it.

I am incredibly satisfied with Ward right now.

Re: Web Serials Discussion Topic
Kenz has one of my favorite interludes. It was my favorite... till I got to Tristan/Byron.

Re: Web Serials Discussion Topic
Ward is going up and down for me. I feel like it loses focus whenever it looks at the team's objectives as a whole. The characters don't have an interesting or well-defined purpose at time.nutella wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 8:46 pm Still a couple arcs behind on Ward but enjoying it quite a bit. As is generally the case in Wildbow's stories, it really strikes me how well he writes his characters dealing with PTSD/similar issues. Loving all the character development so far.
Pact is probably my favorite Wildbow work though, in terms of genre/setting/atmosphere/worldbuilding. And Worm is absolutely a masterpiece.
But when they are being reactive, the story is great.
Can't say whether I like Worm or Pact more.

Web Serials Discussion Topic
Hey guys! I wanted a topic where we could talk about web serials!
Web Serials are serialized (duh) literature stories, posted on line in one form or another. Like a web-comic or Youtube video series, but... with words instead of pictures and videos! Fan fiction is usually a form of web serial, and other web serials can be found on Reddit (in certain writing subforums) and on topwebfiction.com.
Some of the most popular web serials include Worm (and other works by Wildbow) and A Practical Guide to Evil.
I've only read three of Wildbow's serials, and also Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. But I'm looking to broaden my horizons, and talk about the serials and such that I'm keeping up with or have read.
Please spoiler tag your spoilers if discussing plot details. Use good judgement.
