I’m writing this review because this is such a good series and I want more people to experience it and all of its awesomeness! I read the online series years ago and I’ve never stopped thinking about it. I wanted to reread it but I haven’t had the time to sit down and read anything since having a child. It’s easier to listen to podcasts and audio books while being productive, and so I’m so thrilled to have found this! I’m almost finished listening to the whole series and I’m already thinking about listening to it again because it really is THAT GOOD! I just want everyone I know to listen to this or read the original, so I can have someone to talk to about it with! It’s the best superhero story ever, better than DC and Marvel in my opinion.

I LOVE worm. Like… SO much. It would get a 5 star, but I just have a few complaints about the audiobook project. I just wish the quality was vetted a bit better before release. The Snagger chapters are bad.. his inflections aren’t great, and he mispronounces words CONSTANTLY. Anyone who isn’t Rein just doesn’t quite measure up and/or put enough emotion and care into it. Other than those complaints, I’m just glad I’m able to listen while I work, despite some chapters being unbearable due to poor narration.

I highly recommend worm it’s so good!!! I cant wait to listen to it again. The story line is great I love the way the characters are brought to life. I would buy this book and any other made by the author. So thankful for those who put in the time and effort to make this audiobook. Not all heroes wear capes.

Worm has been on my radar for ages, but its a huge commitment to sit down and read - one that I knew I couldn’t make. This podcast series allowed me to experience the incredible story of Taylor and I’m beyond grateful. Some of the chapters aren’t the best quality and there are some mispronunciations of non-English derived words (as a Boston native, we pronounce it Mar-kees, despite what Wildbow has gone on record saying LOL), but honestly all of the little things make the love for Worm shine through. I’m deeply grateful to everyone that worked on this project, and I definitely recommend this to folks who are interested in the series but can only listen while working their desk job or walking their dog. I’ll probably check their Ward podcast series, but I need a bit of a break from superheroes first - 174 hours and a year of listening has me needing something more lighthearted first :)

Worm is an excellent story that others should listen too my favorite character was Armsmaster and you’ll find out about all the great characters if you ready story

The story of Worm is incredible and so on, but this audiobook project really is a blessing. Yes, some of the narrators leave a lot to be desired, and some chapters have some recording problems, but overall the amount of effort put in to this fan project is amazing and is a great service.

This is now one of my favorite stories. Thank you for creating an audiobook that I could listen to during commutes and neighborhood walks. I fear the story length would have been too daunting for me to pick up an manually read, so thank you for creating an audio format that’s more palatable and allowing me to fall in love with such an incredible story. I cannot rate this high enough and I recommend this to any of my friends that I’m able to get to listen to me.

I do not much write reviews but this “super hero soap opera” has totally captured my heart. The breadth of knowledge the authors exhibit casually is quite impressive, the anti-hero is so endearing that I was actually brought to tears. The greatest binge experience I have had in quite some time. I really hope these people are rewarded for their effort and I thank them for the hundreds, yes I think it may be in the hundreds (as I’m now on “Ward”), of hours I have enjoyed.

Might not use apple podcast app, but that’s on the platform

This podcast has been a wild ride. Wonderful experience! Thank you to all that made it happen!

The story is great but the readers sometimes go I. And out in the audio. I’m in Arc 2 and the girl starts reading, she mumbles slightly and doesn’t speak clearly. Other than that, great story!

I read this epic in 2013. Hearing it now, seven years later, I’ve come to realize how much better the story is than what I remember. Whether Hindsight, life experience or just plain wisdom- this story has so much depth that I failed to grasp at my younger age. That being said, it’s becoming more and more apparent as I listen that the narrators (of which there are multiple) have not agreed on the pronunciation of any odd words, cape names or foreign monikers. The narrators fail to pronounce things as obvious as ‘panacea’ and ‘parian’, pronouncing them ‘pan-ees-sia’ and ‘parry-ann’. Some narrators mispronounce the most common words, or misread an entire sentence. All of this is the work of amateurs that’ve not put enough learning in place in terms of ‘how to produce an audiobook’. They have not agreed on the format of chapter introduction. They have not determined a standard volume of intro and outro music, resulting in wildly varying volumes depending on narrator. The earlier chapter readings-which are of obviously lower quality- have not yet been replaced with something better. Meg, who has a strong (Irish?) accent, pronounced words occasionally such that I need to relisten three times to understand which word she’s trying to say. NSBP (whoever that is) either has a complicated understanding with syllabic pacing or doesn’t understand the words he reads as he reads them. A side chapter (a thirty-six minute read) was read entirely by someone with an exceptionally strong lisp. This same side chapter was written from the perspective of a previously-read-by-someone-else character.

29.7 , the mouth noises are maddeningly distracting .

I heard about this on a suggestions feed for audiobooks on Reddit actually. I had never heard of it before but it was mentioned over and over as the best web serial/audiobook a lot of people had ever read or heard. Podcast format is so readily accessible that I jumped right in to it and I haven’t stopped listening since. I have tried other things but just keep going back to this. I won’t be able to stop until there is no more to listen to.

Rein did a great job bringing a book to an audience like myself who doesn’t have the time to sit down and read it. Great story and production. Thanks to my friend Nathan for recommending it to me as well

I've read the online version three times over the past few years, and I was ecstatic to find this audiobook version. Worm is my favorite book, period.

I’m only on arc 4 and I am addicted to this wonderful work of art. This series was recommended to me by a friend and I love them all the more for it. The reading is well done and professional, whenever the voices are edited it greatly enhances the experience.
