"Streak, this is Eternus, our new member. He's a time manipulator of sorts."

"Good to know, General. How's it hanging, Eternus?"

Not fucking good, Jamie, not fucking good.

"Oh, I guess it's hanging fine enough. We'll have to see what the future holds."

Again.

Bravo, that was excellent! That felt like Worm

[–] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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."
