Thankfully, most of the time it stays in the background. Unfortunately, about half of the most book* was about it.

*Is there an accepted term for the pre-decimal part if you have, like, chapter 9.18? Neither arc nor book feel quite right to me.

I've always called those arc or part, and book is the entire work

Twig 9.somethinf

I had it spoiled for me accidentally that Sy loses an eye but holy poo poo that was not how I was expecting it to go down

8 and 9 are basically just one long stream of poo poo pouring down on the lambs. Also can't wait for find out more about the Twins, the Duke interlude was fantastic

Now that it's finished, does anyone have a complete epub/mobi of twig? I've tried to use the scraper on github and I really don't understand how to use it.

I have epubs of all three books

If anyone wants one, they should have to do it themselves just because gently caress you that was miserable, even before you get to the publication issues

Also I finished twig 14 and I love my trans teenage Frankenstein and really that whole conversation where she came out

Twig has infinitely better pacing, and most of the arcs are semi-self contained, making it a lot easier to take breaks.

The hardest part for me to get through was the two arcs about the primordials

The arc immediately after that though is Sy killing the baron and that's a major kick in the rear end that pushes the story forward hard

Speaking of Twig, I'm starting arc 16 now and we are officially into the third act of the story and it's fuckin great. Sy's rebellion is a thing that makes total sense and yet I wouldn't have guessed early on. I love it

I know the post on his blog said 5-10 but what that actually means is up in the air

Either way, another week or two isn't that long to wait considering it's been what like four years since worm ended?

Unless there's some typos going on, I think that account was banned for impersonating mlekk.

Wildbow has fixed them and also confirmed that he did it because he didn't mean to create a memetic cult before the story even started

Wb confirmed it wasn't that but it makes a lot of sense given who the new POV character is! gently caress! Holy poo poo!

Also there's a paragraph slash sentence that kinda just ends mid sentence in there who do I tell to fix it if I'm not going on Reddit

For those of you who haven't entirely caught up yet, 0.9 was loving wonderful.

I wish I knew who Point_Me_@_The_Sky is, because that would probably make it so much better.

You know if you read the new chapter of Ward! It's not stated outright but you can connect dots! I'm so excited Jesus Christ!

Worm was good for 1.5 rereads myself. I'm waiting for the edited 'final' version whenever Wildbow finishes it. Between Practical Guide to Evil, Taint and Wandering Inn I've been busy enough with web serials. Twig didn't hook me (rising quality of his writing aside) as steam/biopunk is lower on my list of interests.

You should give twig another shot and stick it out for a few arcs. It took a minute to grow on me and get momentum, but once it got going it never stops

Oh I think I got to arc 10 or so before shelving it. I'll read it someday, just low on my list, I only got so far because I was appreciating Wildbow's constantly improving writing. I liked Pact more then Twig, even with it's pacing issues.

You stopped literally pages before it goes completely batshit

If you're talking about the quote Where she says that she's betraying her best friend, she's talking about letting Nauk die

I'm talking about Warlock threatening her after the encounter with the Lone Swordsman and his crew, because he heard she talked to Malicia and wants her to understand how badly he will destroy her if she hurts Black
