Insectoid: My Fierce and Wild Husband Lieya

New book, just released, with a low rating.

Lei Shou, the strongest hunter of the beastfolk, died in battle protecting a female cub. When he opened his eyes again, he had somehow become a "defective male pet" at an insectoid auction house.

Here, powerful females charge into battle, while male insects have regressed into mere breeding tools kept in hothouses. Military achievements? Nothing for the males. Dignity? An even bigger joke.

Hill, a "useless wreck" among low-ranking male insects, has one arm like a blade and half a ruined body. Despite earning 237 military commendations, he cannot even collect military merit coins. He takes in the filthy beastfolk, intending to sell him for money to buy a bone knife. But the savage opens his mouth and blows up his plans:

"You're injured. The prey is yours, the hide is mine."

The laws of the beastfolk are carved into Lei Shou's bones: the strong protect, spoils are shared, and loyalty belongs only to a chosen "hunting partner."

The first time Hill is shielded from danger, the first time someone saves the tenderest insect meat for him, the first time he feels a mental link that is not a command but "protection," the blade arm that is always on guard suddenly doesn't know where to rest.

The insectoid queen is enraged: "Low-ranking males should just die! Who dares give him dignity?!"

Lei Shou bares his fangs and wraps his tail around Hill's waist. "Beastfolk law: whoever protects the prey gets to keep it."

"Which one of you dares touch the male insect I've protected?!"
