#1 concern I’m seeing is people who don’t think they can keep up with the schedule, which averages 65k words per week.
The first month of the schedule will get us through the first 9 arcs. The beginning of the serial is commonly accepted to be the worst written part of Worm, but it hits its stride after a few arcs, and continues going up in quality from there. For me, I got sucked in during arc 4, but I know some people who were hooked in arc 2 and other who were hooked in arc 8. And once you’re hooked, if you’re a binge reader/watcher, it’s hard to not binge it.
So, if you’re new and you’re worried about keeping up with the pace, my advice would be to stick it out for the first month! If you don’t like it by arc 9, then the rest of the story is probably also not going to be for you. I do anticipate a number dropouts after the first month—no hard feelings! And if it does grab you, well. You’re always welcome to read ahead.
