Yes you do. It’s a solid and long read. I’m reading Pact right now and am not even halfway done. Pact is a different universe. I enjoyed Worm more, especially on my second reading.

If you’re a fan of Worm by Wildbow this is a good launch point for Leviathan.

To add to what others are saying, make sure the base is completely secured. Do not place the base on a rug, mat or anything that could increase the possibility of slipping. Additionally someone wearing shoes with a very good grip should be supporting you while on the ladder, preferably your weight or more.
