An introverted teenage girl with an unconventional superpower, Taylor goes out in costume to find escape from a deeply unhappy and frustrated civilian life. Her first attempt at taking down a supervillain sees her mistaken for one, thrusting her into the midst of the local ‘cape’ scene’s politics, unwritten rules, and ambiguous morals. As she risks life and limb, Taylor faces the dilemma of having to do the wrong things for the right reasons.

The story, titled Worm, takes the form of a web serial, posted in bite-sized reads in much the same way that authors such as Mark Twain would release their works one chapter at a time in the days before full-fledged novels. Worm started in June 2011, updating twice a week, and finished in late November, 2013. It totals roughly 1,680,000 words; roughly 26 typical novels in length (or 10-11 very thick novels). The story updated on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with bonus chapters appearing on the occasional Thursday, as explained below. Collapse

    I tried, honestly, I tried to read this shit. I even generated an audiobook, and still, it's impossible for people with an adequate psyche to listen to it.
    How can a person be so helpless with resources and superpowers. Okay, she didn't want to show her strength, but she already had money in one of the first chapters, given the dystopia they live in there, it wouldn't be difficult to find crazy bastards who could beat up those who offended her.
    I took breaks from listening to the book 5 times because I was just burning with helplessness and wanted to smash the phone.

    WHY CAN'T ANYONE WRITE THIS REVIEW? I wouldn't waste my time reading/listening to this shit.

    Aquellos que tenga curiosidad del sitio oficial del mismo aqui estan el enlance:::

    Parahuman 1 - https://parahumans.wordpress.com/

    Parahuman 2 - https://www.parahumans.net/

    Mientras que las obras Pact, Pale y Twig son de género sobrenatural y ambientados en otra realidad alternativa según las descripciones del sitio oficial por lo que no se considera parte del universo de WORM.

    The story itself is pointless. The plot is forced and the characters are just repeating the word depressing and lifeless. There are so many conversations that it makes the whole novel feel only a person with half a brain would even consider this as a good book. There are so many redundant POV with no value. This whole book is like trying to listen to someone who is schizophrenic. Good luck reading this garbage.

    First chapter and i dont get it. Why cant mc retaliate if they attack her? Why would bullies get no accountability but she'll get arrested if she do the same to them?

    I remember reading this a while back. It’s definitely a pretty long read. It’s also definitely a cut above the rest, so give it a shot!

    Also, if you like reading comments, I recommend checking out the web serial on its website! Loads of comments there.
    Have a good day! :)

    Meh. The MC and her allies are dumb, naive and lack self-preservation. Although they are teens, notorious for such things, it is decidedly uncharacteristic for what's already been established about them.

    Of course, that's the author forcing plot, and it makes their characters feel wrong.

    Obviously the younger and less astute haven't noticed the scam, which is fine since it's entertaining them and that's its' job, but it's too offputting for me. Just makes it feel like whatever the author establishes doesn't really matter since they'll overturn it whenever convenient for dramatic plot events.

      Ah, but you have to remember the circumstances of the super powers they have gained, a trigger event(not a second generation one) is more often than not extremely traumatic and scarring people who go through trigger events are forever scarred by it and now have a constant reminder of what they've gone through with superpowers, Taylor was locked in that locker for hours and you expect her to come off as completely sane? Lisa had her brother commit suicide and blamed herself for never noticing the ques, Alex well hes just a poor bastard, all of them young and triggered even younger in some cases and are forever broken plus Shards are always emotionally manipulating their hosts(literally) to seek out combat and fights to farm more data for their cycle, if their hosts are taking to much time planning then they get a rush of adrenaline and rage and attack say a giant dragon who gets stronger the longer he fights, they literally require their host to use them often and in a new way so any idiotic descions the characters make are probably a combination of being emotionally scarred teenagers, teenagers with rampant hormones, teenagers whose brain chemistry is constantly being changed so they can fight more so yea

        The lack of self preservation can once again be attributed to said shard manipulation and the author forcing the plot makes sense for the world, the shards want a quickly cycle rife with data and information so they can continue if it means speeding up the already destroyed process then why not, just send some hormones and endbringers and the world is now on the fast track
