I can see why these would appeal to LW crowd. One of them writes cosmic horror about monstrous alien phenomena that can’t be directly perceived preying on humanity and all life in the universe, and qntm writes wordy science fiction.
No comment on Wildbow. I’m sure Worm is excellent but I’m just not in the market for three HPMoR wordcounts of capeshit, so I don’t know what his deal is. Bummer for him to have one of his characters be the indirect namesake of a notorious murder cult.
-dsr-Worm is great at what it does, which is to lure in people wanting to read power fantasies about being a superhero and then smashing every trope. (All the powers involve deep trauma. Everyone needs a therapist. Very few get any therapy. The world ends because we can’t take care of each other nicely.)
