Bravo, that was excellent! That felt like Worm

[–] MaelGuerra@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That's pretty damn high praise

It really did! I would absolutely read a whole book of that! (Or dozens of them, if the length of Worm is any indication)

Haha, it's crazy finding another fan in the wild, it always felt like a small audience, but nope! 👋

No, it's actually pretty popular. Although nothing today is as mainstream as things used to be.

If you liked Worm, you might enjoy Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality (if you haven't read it already). It has some real similarities to Worm, including an unreliable narrator who is very intelligent, but can also be arrogant and impulsive. I'd also classify them both as "hard fantasy."
