#Look I rag on Wildbow a lot here because I tend to nitpick and complain rather than focus on what I like about a thing

I find it both funny and absurd how Valefor and the Butcher, baddies that in earlier of Worm would have taken an arc or more to take down, are dealt with a chapter each, essentially.

And like, yes, a lot of it is the Undersiders being a far more well-oiled machine and yada yada, but a lot of it is also clearly Wildbow just not wanting to linger. like, the Bakuda Fight wasn't 'fluffed' in the sense that it had tons of filler, but it could have been shorter.

But clearly, Wildbow just wants to speedrun ahead, and yeah, he's also giving Taylor a brief kickass Warlord Arc, thankfully, but in another, probably worse universe, Wildbow devotes like half an arc's worth of chapters at least to both takedowns and the fights drag on forever.

In this case, Wildbow, make kudos, thank you so much for not dragging this out.
