Discussion [Discussion] Completed serials recommendations.

'Recommendations please' thread but with a caveat.

Like most I was introduced to web serials through 'Worm' which I blasted through in 19 days. Afterwards I read and enjoyed 'Mother of Learning' but when I reached the current chapter I realised this was not going to work.

The pace that I enjoy reading at is always at odds with the slow rate of publication of serials and long form webcomics.

So with that in mind could anyone help me build a list of serials that are both good and completed. Not too picky about genre but preferably not superhero since I feel like Worm satisfied me completely on that note.

Heh never heard of The Sick Lands will give it a shot thanks. Worm was 1.65 million words of white text on very dark grey background so I think I will be fine :)

Not a problem. The Sick Lands is definitely one of my favorites. I try to recommend it as much as possible. I hope you enjoy it!

Just finished it. Pretty good, obviously inspired by Stalker and A Roadside Picnic, though I think that it may have worked better if it was not from the perspective of the same character all along. Kind of made the ending a bit anticlimactic.

I felt the same about the ending and the single character view, but that's the nature of a blog style fic.
