Well you've heard it all before, some deadbeat loser decides to fill out a CYOA which subsequently comes to serve as the foundation of the next stage of ones life. Thankfully for our intrepid protagonist, they are something of a metagamer and as such abused the crap out of the CYOA for the purpose of being able to thrive in the unlikely event of getting the isekai treatment. Unfortunately, they're off to Worm and the fate of the multiverse lies in the hands of a chronically depressed lunatic with the biggest martyr complex in said multiverse. Not to mention all the nonsense that comes after in the form of Ward *shivers*. As if that wasn't bad enough, the sum total of all our protagonist's meta knowledge is dependent on half remembered wiki entries and far too much fanfiction because canon Worm is very, very bleak and not the sort of thing they'd ever willingly subject themselves too. Also they for the sake of points went and decided to ramp up the difficulty by a significant margin with various drawbacks that make this death world even more terrifying than it already was. Oh well, time to see who can out escalate who in the battle for supremacy of the Wormverse (and beyond?)
Disclaimer: This is literally my first attempt at a story ever and as such is prone to mistakes (grammatical and/or otherwise). My primary motivation was getting sucked up by one particular Worm CYOA (ltouroumov) and getting obsessed with the idea of trying to utterly break the system to see just how overpowered I could become. This is very much wish fulfillment on my part and the only true semblance of fairness was not using creative mode and buying all the things at which point it's pretty much GG. Having said that, it's surprisingly easy to go off the rails and spiral if you know what you're doing. Given the setting in question, I have no problems with going off the rails and becoming stupidly overpowered to deal with all of the impending nonsense. Also of note is that none of the things said or done within the novel (unless explicitly stated otherwise) reflect my personal views or things I would actually condone in real life.
Disclaimer the second: The protagonist is very much a self-insert for myself and is going to be making some very dark, very dubious, morally unethical choices. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Especially in a scenario where the main character is certifiably insane (literal drawbacks) and as such has decided that morality, ethics, and basic human decency are about as important as the Unwritten Rules, aka sound nice in principle yet totally irrelevant to those who possess power, something the main character is certainly not lacking in. In other words, they'll fit right in with this world.
Disclaimer the third: This is purely a hobby and as such has no set upload schedule. If I get inspiration, then I write. If I don't, then I don't. I will however post if I decide to take a hiatus or cancel the story. I hate when authors just drop off the face of the Earth, so I will try not to be one of them.
