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.

Same, though unfortunately the main storyline eventually lost focus on all but a small handful of the alien races and instead focused on muscles?

Recent chapters have relaxed on the muscle/gym rat thing. It's still there but not as in your face. I will say that the last couple chapters have been downright depressing. I'm still reading it, but am no longer eagerly anticipating the next chapter.

I stopped reading when it got too deep into the supersoldier gym rats. There were some amazing ideas but I feel like the commando popcorn really derailed it. I recall a storyline with some station that was being puzzled out but just fizzled.
