Dang, you’ve definitrly sold me on that. I’m going to have to check it out. and Worm. Bad to worse sounds quite accurate in a mortal world with sups. lol
Worm is exactly the kind of chaos that would exist with supers. Attempted mitigation and control, but those with selfish interests and villains often coming out on top, much like those in power and wealth in the real world. WtC has a lighter perspective to tell its story, but Worm is straight up “what if the most horrible person you can think of could also kill with a glance/touch/etc. With no consequence?” And worse. Here there be monsters, quite literally, and humanity is losing the battle.
It’s an absolutely incredible series and I’ve read the whole thing twice at this point, but it’s often very depressing, and the bad can be really bad.
If you want to read Worm there are web scrapers online that can convert it to an ebook format for easier reading, rather than needing to browse the parahumans site.

It’s on library Genesis. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Worm is one of the few works I’ve seen with a lengthy, and justified, trigger warning list. For all the authors works, really. Heavy on bio-horror.

The ending paragraph for Worm hits HARD, and I don’t recommend reading the epilogue immediately after it for that reason (it’s really more of a prologue for the sequel anyway)
