I convinced both of my parents to read Worm, due to living in the same apartment as them and having a hyperfixation. And both of them really enjoyed it but they're very different people, so I get to see two entirely different perspectives from talking to them.
The average conversation with my mom (someone who graduated college with a degree in womens studies and literature) about Worm is like: "The slaughterhouse nine fundamentally sells the fantasy to its recruits of being inhuman; the idea that they are monsters and even if they have physical vulnerabilities, by becoming heartless they remove their ability to be emotionally wounded. This is how Taylor first sees them; completely inhuman threats. But that's fundamentally not what they are, they're broken damaged people left behind by society and abused by Jack Slash. The reason why Jack considers Siberian and Bonesaw to be the purest members of the team is because they're the best as being inhuman, Siberian being a projection of someone else, and Bonesaw being a child that Jack is entirely able to shape without resistance (which is why she ultimately betrays him as she ages)."
Average conversation with my dad (a guy who liked The Boys and One Peice) about worm: "Alexandria could beat Omniman in a fight."
