Editing The Timeskip (section)

==Reception==
*The Timeskip is arguably the most criticized element of Worm.
**The Timeskip covers two years, 2011-2013, so some readers find it jarring. Prior shifts in time only skipped a month at most.
**The once far-off apocalypse becomes uncomfortably close very quickly, ramping up the story's tension at an unnatural rate.
**A significant jump forward raises questions of what has happened in the meantime, such as the progression of characters, events, and other developments. Most readers want direct accounts of these kinds of events, not accounts based on hindsight.
**[[Tohu]] and [[Bohu]] are indirectly introduced via archival footage. This contrasts with the other [[Endbringers]]’ introductions, which feature Taylor and other characters reacting and learning about the monsters in “real-time.” As a result, readers have a limited perception of [[The Twins]]’ capabilities until reading about them in action later.
**Taylor spends far more time with the Chicago Wards than with the Undersiders; however, it doesn’t feel that way to readers as many more chapters were devoted to Taylor’s life with the Undersiders.
*According to a 2013 comment by Wildbow, the Timeskip may be retconned with a series of Interlude arcs to chronicle the change in time.<ref>
