What are some really good, long Worm fanfics? I've already read "Will of the Force"; "Plan? What Plan?"; "Legendary Tinker"; (these first three are on Royal Road) and "Russian Caravan" (on Spacebattles), which are peak worm fanfics, but I need more!

I'm currently reading Peasant, it's a really solid one. It's ongoing.

Also, Kill Them All is an old one from ShayneT, it's kinda like popcorn food but it has its strong moments, unexpectedly. Including the final battle. I'll just say that ShayneT knows how to make you feel the horror sometimes.

@Peter3135566 @TroubleFait Thanks! I'll check those out!
Dumbest here (me), what is a worm fanfic?
@Aader fanfiction of this fiction called "worm" by wildbow. https://parahumans.wordpress.com/ This link takes to a site that has the entire 30-arc long web serial fiction for free.
It's a dystopian superhero world where the MC falls into villainy accidentally (or is it accidental?~ It might not be~). The world is beset by three Endbringers that appear in a cycle for a small window of time in the area that will cause the most devastation to humanity. And the worst part is... those who are scarred by the worst traumatic experiences of their life are the ones who get powers. But there is a lot more behind the scenes than at first glance.

And this.
It is a book written by some dude known as Wildbow.

Iirc the length of the series is about 2M word. It's about people having superpower fighting against people with superpower.
Iirc the main character's power is to control insect. What kind of insect do you ask? "Yes".

If I might add, these people gained superpower when they experience traumatic event in their life, so all of the supers (known as parahumans), have some level of daddy issues and or mental illness.

Not insects, bugs. Spiders are not insects.

People who classify powers in the series try to claim she controls arthropods, which is a bit more inclusive than "insects," but that still doesn't quite cover everything she can control since she's also able to control worms and full-size crabs in the ocean, neither of which are classified as arthropods.

So, the most accurate description of what she's able to control is the fairly unscientific term "bugs."

If you want to be accurate, Spiders are NOT bugs nor Insect. They are called Arachnids. It goes on like this:
1. Kingdom: Animalia
2. Phylum: Arthropoda
3. Class: Arachnida
4. Order: Araneae

Bugs or Insects is differentiated by it's Class-level compared to Spider. While Spiders are Arachnida, Bugs and Insects are Insecta, with more variations on its Order-class. They have different body structure such as body segments, legs, antennae, etc. Therefore, Spiders are not Bugs nor Insects.

Please read and think of what you've typed in the forum because every time I read your comments, it is almost as if you're begging me to humiliate your intelligence by using (worthless) semantics to point out your piece.

I don't care what you think. If you think spiders and are bugs despite the stated fact, then that's fine. Do not insult my intelligence by pulling it into your level, I won't engage in semantics with you.

To the question of 'Then, to what level does the MC of Worm can control the insects? Is it up to Class-level, or Phylum-level?'
My answer would be: I don't give a fuck. It's not a scientific novel.

Err... no. "Bug" is not a scientific term. It's a colloquialism for every little creepy crawly thing. And, that's exactly what Taylor controls. Therefore, she controls bugs.

You can't say "no, bug = insect" for a colloquialism. Colloquialisms are not bound by scientific definitions and precise dilliniations. They are just determined by whatever large swaths of the public seem to think the term means at any given time. It's an imprecise definition that can even change over time. But, by an large, it winds up meaning anything and everything that you might get swarmed by if creepy-crawlies start appearing in a horror movie. So, if you think it might appear in a "the walls are crawling" gross-out scene in a horror movie, it's a bug.

Okay, that yes is the only thing that has my brain summarize the overall story.

We all are a bunch of retards, so stop the goddamn insect expositions. You guys are making my biology classmate spin his brain cog and now thinking if spiders are insects or not. And yes, I am currently in bio class, just to let you guys know.

I agree with Corty.

Besides, there are plenty of factors that identify some smol animals as insects. But of course, some things contradict those factors. Sad, I know.
