I'm reading a famous superhero web novel called "Worm" part of the Parahumans universe.
It's pretty good. I heard it's got 30 or so arcs with 1.4 million total words.
I am at arc 10 currently, and I got here super fast because the story is pretty good.
Such a fun series. The fights especially are so captivating.
Yes! I can't believe this series was written before the MCU and DC movies made the superheroes genre world famous and milked it until everyone got superhero fatigue.
And the story and characters are super good too!
I love how the powers aren't limited to generic ones like super strength, speed, etc. There's always a cape that can effectively take down another cape.
And it's more mature than the PG-13 or younger audience targeted superhero slops.
(I heard it gets much darker as the story goes on, I'm only at arc 11 currently, but dang this is amazing)
