I replaced doom-scrolling and brain rot with reading Royal Road, and I feel much better.

Even if most of what's on RR is is slop, reading is always the better vice.

hey you! yes you! listen, come here.

Interested in some good ol' reading slop? maybe with a side-dish of a nice community? you like comments, right? you like discussions about a fast hard hitting chapter?

boy do i have a forum for you: https://forums.spacebattles.com/forums/creative-writing.18/

more and better fiction than two RRs combined!*

*terms and conditions apply, knowledge of Worm and Worm-related media required

I've heard of spacebattles forum, haven't delved into it because of the forum structure makes reading awkward, i prefer RR's presentation, not the best but atleast it's a damn website and not a forum lol.

as for worm... i read it a bit but dropped it because i arrived too late (iirc author had already moved to the third series when i heard of it) and the backlog was too daunting. That said, apparently there ia graphic novel coming up so might look into it.

spacebattles has a reading mode: https://forums.spacebattles.com/library/stories/

It's never too late for Worm. There is no backlog, it's a self-contained story. I'd recommend reading it before the comics (not graphic novel).

Every website has it's one winning story, RR has 'Mother of Learning', I guess spacebattles forums has Worm.

Any other recommendations?
