Sounds like something from Edogawa Rampo's earlier works. Dude was a Japanese author in the 70s who wrote some EXTREMELY disturbing pseudo-erotic stuff right along those lines, and then suddenly switched to writing kids books in the 80s. Not sure what part of that is the more disturbing of the...

Worm; from the end of arc 7 to the end of arc 19. Just about the entire thing between those 2 points, with a special mention to parts related to Bonesaw or the growing disturbing factor in scenes that involved Coil and Dinah. End of the world stuff near the end of the series doesn't even come...

I didn't vote for you, I voted for K5's kid.

How can a shy little bookworm like me be evil though?

You two are so MEAN!!! What's the point of it all!?

I'll deny you! Just watch! :blob_teehee: Common someone! Tell them, please! @RepresentingEnvy please tell them you didn't mean it!

How is someone who goes with the living encyclopedia role whenever someone brings up a related subject "cute?" You're not type-casting me as the little shy bookworm in the library who is constantly reading and has poor social skills are you? Because I resent that! I'm not shy! I'm not! :blobrofl:

Oh... for that, I would say the 1st act is like Re: Zero without the hope. The 2nd act makes Re: Zero cry and hide in a corner mumbling incoherent things as it slowly looses it's sanity, and the 3rd act is basically at the exact same level as Re: Zero. The 2nd act is where Worm is at it's...

Ok, I think we might have a confusion in terminology. You just alternatingly used the terms "arc" and "act." When I say "act," I mean in the style of a 3-act play. I'm talking the final 1/3 of the story in it's entirety. The 1st ACT would be story arcs 1-8. The 2nd act is arcs 9-17. The 3rd act...

Yeah, the 2nd act of the series is really REALLY rough. 3rd act is a fair bit more positive, the story has a V-shaped plot. At least, in concerns to Taylor's story-arc. The world at large seems to face a bit of a constant downwards plot, but somehow the 3rd act, despite having a body count high...

Here's a funny thought. Worm is an Isekai. It takes place in a parallel Earth, and there are characters in the story (though not anybody from the main cast) who come there from the version of Earth that's supposed to be ours.

Yeah, that's hardly my thing either. I'm mostly into Isekai and time-loop and other REALLY high-magic and high-fantasy stuff. Worm, however, really got me because it's just one of those things that is such an exemplar that you can easily just ignore the genre and just enjoy it for being really...

More fucked up than Bonesaw? Or are you just giving her a pass because she's 12 years old and definitely fucked-up in the head, thus doesn't need to be held to normal moral standards? (We're talking about the girl who does live surgeries on people without anesthesia, just for the sake of making...

I kinda stopped reading Umineko about half-way through chapter 7 when it brought in the whole "witch hunter" thing to the arrangement. I thought it was kinda interesting up till that point, but then I just went "Nope!" Yeah, that was the sort of ending (or near-ending) that is so bad it ruins...

Unfortunately, you are quite likely correct in this assessment. That almost no one likes it for what it is, I mean. I have been completely blown away by how real it gets in dealing with very serious and real social issues, and for that reason I disagree with the assessment that it's overrated...

Lol, Higurashi is an interesting one for sure. It's a V-novel actually, but it's also been adapted to anime. It's a very strange time-loop series. The reason why it's strange is that it's NOT told from the POV of the person who remembers each time-loop, and you don't even get to find out which...

Well, the suffering in Worm is a bit more along the lines of Mushoku Tensei than anything. It's just... a whole hell of a lot worse. And the reason why it's worse is because it's just so believable. Every single last thing that goes wrong in Worm is because of something that you could see...

Which misunderstanding? The one about the target? Or the one about the allegiance? (worded carefully to tell enough information to people who know, but not spoil for people who don't.) At any rate, whichever it is, you really shouldn't let that scare you off. Yes, it's what kicks things off...

Worm, the web fiction to reach #1 in the English original category back in the golden era of the early 2010s where the ridiculous majority of the best web-fictions out there were written. Also famous for being the story that makes it's MC suffer so severely that it can actually traumatize the...

Meh, don't need a hyper-analysis of this one. It's already well defined in the anime community. All I've really gotta do is link the wiki article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibi_(style) In other words, the definition of "chibi" is "anything drawn in the chibi style." And, the chibi style...
