The Bug Zerg's Cannon-Fodder Side Character Strikes Back

"Duran, do you know, I came for you." "Thank you for staying for me." It's really well-written, with well-developed and multifaceted characters. It's not just about fighting and killing; it has soul.

The protagonist, Cheng Ye, faced the punishment process of the female insect as soon as he appeared, and was forced to "follow the plot". He was threatened with being killed and made to get drunk. This set off the tug-of-war with the Duke in the first half of the story. The clash of ideas, the weakness of the original protagonist, Du's actions, and his own incomprehensible emotions.

It has flaws, but also its highlights. At first, I felt Duran's character was rather unlikable, and I even considered having Joa replace him. But then I thought it was actually quite normal; nothing is perfect, and imperfections actually make the character more complete. I also liked many of the supporting characters. I didn't give it five stars because I felt the author had room for improvement.

I almost couldn't find the comments section 😢😢 This book is really good. It's not one of those typical love-at-first-sight, marriage-at-first-sight stories. It's very logical, and the emotional handling is excellent. It features two strong personalities, but they're not without tenderness. The perfectly timed circumstances and subtle tests bring these two unlikely characters together. I love it! 🙈🙈

I've read about half of it. The protagonist's personality in this world is quite normal—obsessive and calculating. Not everyone is perfect; everyone makes mistakes, and the means to achieve goals differ. Environment shapes personality, which is different from other stories of the same genre, and it's quite good.

It's so incredibly good! I started reading Zerg fiction a couple of years ago, but I haven't seen anything this good in ages. I especially love the Zerg King and his partner 😳😳 It's such a shame he wanted to be the first male Zerg Marshal 🥲🥹 Ex is great too, they're both wonderful (falling in love with the side couple is my destiny 🙊🥹). I really, really, really love the author, and I hope they write more Zerg-themed books 📚^3^

This is a sweet little story. There's no grand conspiracy or logical inconsistencies, and the characters are quite well-developed. Their stories soothed my tired and irritable mind, which was burdened by too much English homework. Thank you, author! 💕

So good! 😢 My heart aches for Camus. He was finally free, but he sacrificed himself before he could even enjoy it for long. 😢😢 The author wrote so well about everyone in this part—their country's righteousness, their willingness to go through fire and water, their duty unwavering. 😢😢😢

It's alright, but there's one major flaw: why isn't the villain, who committed all those evil deeds, punished at all? Losing someone you love is supposed to be a punishment for a villain, but what kind of punishment is that? And then, he's inexplicably whitewashed. The main story is fine, but I wouldn't recommend reading the villain's side stories.

The author excels at character development; many characters in the novel are quite memorable and distinctive. The author presents characters from different perspectives, rather than using a black-and-white approach. The plot is well-structured, with rich and profound themes, and the writing is commendable, with effective emotional expression and atmosphere creation. However, shortcomings include fragmented sentences or lack of clauses in many places, and inconsistent or missing punctuation.
