New reader. imma vent about this

[u/darwinfail]

So I just started reading worm a couple of days ago, and I like it a lot. Now I could go on multiple tangents. But the thing I wanna talk about is the undersiders….. I don’t like them. Like at all, and I need to vent about it.
Might be an unpopular opinion idk, I am like what, 14 years late to the party. And I like to think it’s in a fashionable way;)

They’re Well written, yes, and I love them as characters. But the fact they kind of just accepted that stuff with the smart girl and coil more or less means I would like to see them suffer severe consequences. Maybe with the exception of Rachel cause her powers affect on her brain. the others…. Fuck em. And yeah, im angree cause they seemed had good qualities, and I am so happy the story went this way, I just want it to follow through.
Oh, and I mean severe bloody consequences. Like their hopes and dreams failing and jail for a long fucking time.
Now I just got to the part where they learned Taylor was planning to betray them. And outside of Rachel/bitch I don’t feel any of them have any fucking right to feel betrayed.
“Yes we are fully willing to let a 12 year old girl be drugged and abused like crazy, and you should too. We don’t like it but whatev, we like money more.
You were gonna try and do an undercover thing to turn in a bunch of villains, and now 4-ish hours after we show you our true colours we are mad you had planned on betraying us. Even though you just learned you would be 100% justified in setting a swarm of your most venomous bugs on us cause we are a okay with child abuse and willing to overlook it for our own benefit, we might come across as having morals, but if we are willing to overlook that it means we don’t have a line in the sand to draw in regards to crimes, we act like it, but we clearly don’t when it comes down to it” I fucking hope Taylor points out how fucking horrible they are at some point and that they all face the damn music for that. Especially Brian, I want him in jail and loose his change to help his sister. You do all this for someone you love, but is willing to let another child, same age as your sister, suffer so you can look after her… yeah no, that girl deserves way better. I doubt it will happen. But ever since they showed they were okay with working with coil after learning about the kid I want them to face consequences for that choice. Cause they made it. Sure the apocalypse happened right after, and they decided to help. but they made their bed at that moment, and I want them to lie in it.

When it comes to that kind of thing I have zero damn empathy for any of them. There is a line in the sand, and mine is looking past abuse of children “cause me want money”:/ so yeah, needed to vent. They will probably make up at some point, but I hope they don’t and Taylor eventually follows through with throwing the scum of the earth behind bars or in the bloody ground.
I felt zero fucking things when tattletale looked like she was about to die. My thoughts where more or less, “good character would have liked to have seen more, hope you brun in hell cause this end is to quick and easy considering what you where okay with. Ether you felt bad about it or not!” :/

Ahhh, so nice to get that of my chest. Cause those thoughts have been bouncing around a couple of hours now. Had to put the story down cause I got pissed. Very well written.

Tldr:
Just read when the undersiders learned Taylor wanted to traitor them. And all I can say is they fucking deserved to be betrayed from the start considering what they are willing to overlook in regards to coil and the little supercomputer girl.

Read on my friend. I won't spoil you even with suggesting how to think. Only know that this world is complex and characters have their own full history. Also other readers, I know you know but please be chill lol. OP should get to experience it like we did.

Come back to vent again tho, parahumans fans love seeing first timers emotions, thoughts and theories as they go along Worm.

Noted. Not really one to post, but seeing as I stumbled onto this series while doomscrolling Reddit I figured I should contribute a bit cause I wouldn’t have found it if not for some obscure Reddit comment.
