Oh, I know, but I was just starting and since I didn’t get that many comments (most of them were against it since “telling about your powers is the dumbest decision ever”) so I kept him in the dark. He’ll know later don’t worry.
I'm leaning towards yes since we know he is loyal to the starks, (including dying for Brann) and he could add a lot of things to the table, he gave his life for knowledge. Also, he could "comment" about the dangers that Ned and Cat don't know (The Citadel) since he would know about the hateboner they have for magic.

Ha, that would be awesome for another fic; but not possible in this one since I’m trying to do only “realistic” uses, most of the viruses/medicine/modifications are some thing that exists in nature, Robb is just adding those things to the insects
Despite his excitement, Robb remained calm enough to reflect on the requirements and limitations of his power. He needed energy to fuel his insects, but how would he obtain it? The answer was simple: his insects needed to consume biomass, which would be converted into energy through some space whale mumbo jumbo. With this energy, he could create more insects, strengthen them, make them more resilient, and even imbue them with specific functions that could be decisive in battle. However, to give them specialized characteristics, he would need catalysts. For instance, if his insects consumed biomass from a venomous snake, they could acquire the ability to infect others with that same venom upon biting, faithfully reproducing its original attributes.

We are both wrong, in the book canon, Robb is 14 when it starts, so Rickon would be -1 right now, I’m not sure if I’ll change this since it’s something inconsequential to my story, but either way thanks for pointing it out. As I said in another comment, when I reach chapter 20 I’ll go back and start editing some errors in grammar or inconsistencies in my fanfic

Yeah my bad. Originally I had added Catelyn to be part of the conversation but when I was editing I realized that most people wouldn’t like that lol, so I changed it to have her removed but I left some dialogue that she had to be of Jon’s pov, this one was one of those and it seems to change how he would call lord stark. I’ll edit it when I make it to chapter 20 and other people comment about other inconsistencies. Thanks for pointing it out.
"But that wouldn't change anything, Ned. I am still a bastard of Prince Rhaegar," my brother said, clearly confused by what my father was revealing.

Yeah my bad, like I said in another comment that said the same, I’ll go back and edit errors when I make it to chapter 20, since I don’t have anyone to check my chapters before i post them, sometimes things like that scape me. Thanks for pointing it out!
"Is he going to wake up soon, Dad?" asked Sansa with a trembling voice and watering eyes, seeking answers that would offer hope.

Probably, yes that’s a good plan. I’ll be sure to add it in the future. These next couple of chapters will be about the changes that Robb has made in the north/ taking care of problems inside the kingdom.

I gave my reasons, but mostly because the pros were higher than the cons. Him revealing his powers to his parents would open a lot of doors. Mostly with the help he could get, knowing he can take care of himself if the need arises. There would be no way in hell that his parents would permit him to leave Winterfell at that age to go and search for biomass/resources. but knowing that he could be almost omniscient in a range of 2 miles (bigger than the range of an archer) they will permit him to leave knowing that he will be safe. I understand the need for secrecy in some cases, but I stand by my decision that revealing his powers was the best choice. He has time, (5 years to canon) but if he is locked to Winterfell, he will not be able to do a lot of things. If you have more questions feel free to comment.

This is so weird, i posted this reply like 20 hours ago, but when i checked in my phone i could not see it. Catelyn as a character would NEVER do something like that. She is someone who would, and has done, absolutely dumb things to protect or avenge her family. She would never tell her father or Littlefinger about this. I'm all for criticism, but please consider the characters as they are, without any bias you may have. I personally dislike Catelyn as a character in almost every fic I've read, mainly because of how she acts against the main characters, who are either OCs (whom she won't trust at all) or Jon, whom she hates passionately. However, when it comes to Robb, she would move the freaking planet if needed to support him. She has done dumb things, but she will try to act as a damn bear protecting her cubs

Worm is one of the best works due to the variety of powers it has. Of course, some powers are more suitable for the setting than others. I chose this one because I like it. I appreciate all the subtle uses of this power. This story will not feature a flashy protagonist fighting with two punctured lungs. Instead, he will have to plan and think before acting, ensuring he doesn't give his enemies any advantages. He will make them starve and wait for death before moving in to kill them. Complete biokinesis would be too overpowered in most settings with the right imagination. Coil would be boring and horrible to write about, Victor hard to explain, and even worse against any religion in Planetos. Super strength has been done a lot, and I wanted something new. I hope this explanation helps. If you don't like it, feel free to leave, but please give it a chance; perhaps you'll enjoy it.

Any characteristic that the original biomass has would be available for future creations, so yeah, dragon bones would be on his mental checklist.
He was very satisfied with his power, as this distance would be very useful. In the meantime, he decided to return to Winterfell for lunch with his family, thinking about how to reveal to his father that he had a special power and how to convince his mother that it wasn't something evil according to her religion, or something stupid like she might think.
TV · Infinityreads
For the moment, that would be impossible since he lacks the catalyst to unlock making big creations. Probably much later in the story, if he consumes something to unlock that attribute. That's one of the limits I chose to impose on his shard, and he needs to work a lot to create better creations. Thanks for the comment.

That's a nice idea. I didn't think to use warging as an excuse for the moment, and since I didn't have one, I was going with being honest from the get-go. I'll change some parts of the chapter to switch to this. Thanks for the comment.

That's only one part of his power; the second one is a tinker/striker?, but not a technological one. Trust me, it will synergize well with insect control.

Hm... I chose transmigration mostly because I wanted the MC to be in an important position. A complete unknown who appears out of nowhere, without backing, would have to start from scratch, either by being cruel (which I don't think I would like to write, at least for now) or by being so charismatic that people would follow him (but I have no idea how to write that without making the followers seem foolish). So, SI into Robb would place the MC close to a seat of power, being the heir to Winterfell and having many loyal people around him, with fewer spies since no one pays much attention to the North.

When I go back and edit the chapters I’ll make a distinction, in this fic there will be normal ice spiders (this ones) and giant ones (the ones from the white walkers army), at the moment he only has access to the normal ones.
- 3 ice spiders, 2 females and 1 male. They were also natural insects I found while practicing my powers outside Winterfell. Thanks to my control over them, I didn't have to worry about the females killing and eating the males. I instructed them to mate whenever possible, in addition to feeding and resting.
