Synopsis

[Interstellar + No Female Lead + Sweet Romance]

A monstrous genius from the cultivation world, Xin Mu worked tirelessly until he reached the peak of his world. He hadn't even gotten the chance to enjoy a life where nobody dared bother him when he opened his eyes and found himself in the interstellar era.

Qiu Mu: “...”

After learning about his situation, he felt like he might be spiraling. Being a useless double D-ranker in mental power and physical fitness was bad enough, but he was also a female Zerg. And after learning more about the Zerg, he felt even worse. He'd have to carve out a peaceful life for himself all over again. Fortunately, his divine sense had come with his soul. In this world, divine sense was called mental power. As for his physical fitness, he could work on that over time.

“Are you sure Qiu Mu is a useless D-rank in both mental power and physical fitness?”

The equally astonished female Zergs replied, “We're sure.”

They all looked at Qiu Mu, who was running at top speed with a perfectly normal expression, carrying a load three times heavier than the one required of an S-rank female Zerg.

“Are they blind or something?”

The female Zergs, already numb from one shock after another, were stunned all over again that day.

Qiu Mu was actually a male Zerg, and a royal-blooded one at that!!!

The Zergs across the StarNet fell silent. Three seconds later, they all started screaming at once.

“Your Highness Qiu Mu, look at me! I can cook, I'm not bad-looking, and I've got StarCoins! Aaaaaah!”

“Your Highness Qiu Mu, I love you!!!”

“Your Highness Qiu Mu, aaaaaah!”

Qiu Mu kept a cool expression. I already have someone in my heart. Don't bother me.

I've crossed mountains and seas, and finally found a novel with decent writing, and most importantly, it's a Zerg-themed story—a miracle! 😢 I always forgot that the protagonist was male because the story was so captivating! 💕

I'm in love! I've found a novel with a Zerg protagonist as the main character. I love the protagonist's personality! The only downside is the infrequent updates; I can't get enough! I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's surprise and envy of the general after the protagonist's true identity as a male Zerg is revealed.

This is one of the few Zerg-themed novels on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform), and it's a dual-male protagonist/dominant-male-lead story. Finding a novel like this is so rare! 😘 Author, please don't abandon this story!

Haha, I originally wanted to finish reading it before reviewing, but I couldn't resist. I've read up to chapter 47 so far. There aren't any major flaws, just a lot of typos and punctuation errors, which is understandable for a new author. The plot is quite novel for me, as it's the first insectoid novel I've read and the first BL novel I've seen on Tomato Bookstore.

The subject matter is good, but the writing is a bit lacking. The Zerg setting is described in more detail than other Zerg stories, perhaps because other authors assume readers already know the setting. The plot is decent; I'm looking forward to the day Qiu Mu finds out he's a male Zerg.

So good! Absolutely amazing!!! Mumu and Luoluo are so sweet! I'm guessing Mumu is actually an S-class male insect. Hopefully, if Mumu differentiates into a male insect again, he can teach those male insects a lesson, and also punish the females who were abused before. This is probably paving the way for Mumu to change the insect race's laws and customs later on.

Very good, very good. This is one of the best Zerg-themed novels I've read. It's quite good, but I'm wondering when, well, the protagonist's male Zerg identity will be revealed.

It's nice, but there aren't many of them (and I feel the author is very lively 😘).

This book is like a small, wildly popular cake on the Zerg web! At its very bottom is an unconventional space fiction with a unique perspective, focusing on the Zerg, who are often considered villains in other space fiction. The middle layer is a magical, semi-satisfying story, where the protagonist's growth and transformation under specific circumstances makes it even more engaging.
