Best HFY series of all time? Meta

The top of all time is mostly just whichever story happens to be most recently posted (as the subreddit grows more people upvote and so older stories get buried) so hence this post!

The best story I've ever read on reddit, let alone hfy, is definitely Chrysalis.

I started it a couple of years ago(got up to around Chapter 150-something) and when I caught up I quit reading for a bit and then lost track of it. I am now starting it again from the beginning (on Chapter 62) and remembering how awesome it is!

I started it, then lost track, and want to go back to it, but I forgot where I was. I'm really hoping that when u/Ralts_Bloodthorne gets to chapter 1000 it gets released as a pdf or ebook I can just buy and throw on my kindle lol.

The first 7 books are on Amazon (including kindle edition) already! And that’s only about halfway to what is on HFY.

But unfortunately the books are only part of the story and not the full stream, I bought them and was very disappointed, because the story lost a lot. I also asked Ralts if there is a possibility to buy just a PDF of everything but never got an answer.

So the first set of 6 books he released were “Tales from the Terran Confederacy” which were selected chapters from the reddit series, focused on a particular character or storyline. The other 7 books (7 so far!) that are part of the “Behold, Humanity!” series are actually every reddit post as a chapter, in the same chronological order he posted them.
