Worm was definitely like that for me. I was reading it at work (we monitored stuff and responded if needed, so I had a lot of free time if things weren't happening), and it really sucked me in. I didn't get into his later work, maybe because of burnout.

I think the characterizations of the superpowered folks were great, but they did suffer a little bit from flanderization. It's to be expected when the author is literally handling hundreds of different characters. The plot overall was just so good though. Maybe some individual points weren't as great, like super spoilers ahead

the naked invulnerable chick and how they defeated her, or the existence of the three super enemies (leviathan, tyrant? and whatever the bird/smart thing was), and how once the protagonist figured out her plan for the ultimate win, it happened so quickly.

Apparently this was not the first serial he tried to write in this universe, which is why so many of the side characters are so fleshed out.

I remember enjoying the interlude with battery a lot.

Did you find anything else that you enjoyed in a similar way?
