    This is a plot point in the web novels “Worm”. One of the characters can heal any injury or disease with a touch, but it takes a lot of effort. They initially tried to endlessly cure the sick, but it basically destroyed them physically and emotionally.

    The above is an absolutely stunning “book.” Maybe one of the best sci-fi books I’ve ever read, but beware. It’s basically a trilogy, and a real page turner.

      I listened to the audiobook last year. It was amazing. Best superhero stories I have experienced. Better than marvel or dc imo. But what do you mean trilogy? Worm is 7000 pages long. Which is like 15 books. Then there is sequel “Ward” which has 9000 pages. I didnt read this one yet. I heard it isn’t as good as the first one. Maybe when I will have more time. As far as I know there isn’t anything after Ward.

      There are 2 audiobooks for Worm. One is older, fan made. Where every chapter is narrated by diffrent person, mostly guys I think. I didn’t listen to this one. I like consistency. Second is new. Fanmade too. Finished last year. Narrated by a woman, which fits better when main character is a woman too. Only interludes are by diffrent narrators. This one is very good. The narrator isnt perfect, but better than some professionals I listened to. It is 170 h long. I finished it in less than 3 weeks.
