How to Raise a Male Insect

Comedy version: “Oh, look who it is! What an adorable little one!” “What? You say this little one is not only adorable but incredibly powerful, and everyone loves her? I don't believe it.” “Fine, let me see what kind of magic this kid has.” Lucia unleashes her adorable-kid beam. “Aaaah! She really is so cute!” Serious version: The insectoid race has just entered a peaceful period of recovery when they welcome their little princess. This extraordinary child seems to be the hope the insectoids need to escape their predicament. But can such an innocent little one grow up safely? The giant race is itching to make a move, the kingdom of mages refuses to give up its ambitions, and conflicts simmer beneath the surface of peace across the star systems. Everyone has their own agenda. Fortunately, her female parent is determined to protect her one and only ray of hope. Her little friends may be naive and childish, but they accompany Lucia through one fantastical adventure after another. Her older brothers are either gentle or stern, and her uncles all dote on the little one. With everyone working together to protect her, the crybaby slowly grows up. Surely she can reach the highest position and lead the insectoids into the future. A few things to note: This is definitely a no-CP story. The insectoid setting is just a way to include more worldbuilding and complicated character relationships, and it may not be much like traditional insectoid stories. Although it's a child-rearing story, the world is quite expansive, and the author has added a lot of original details. An ensemble cast is inevitable. Since the setting involves insectoids, the side couples may not all be mutually exclusive first loves, so please be aware if that bothers you. Not every character is neatly divided into good and bad, or written as simply perfect. The characters will grow. Thank you.
