   This is a top-tier Zerg-themed novel with two male protagonists, a 1vn story that's incredibly well-written. Among the Zerg-themed novels I've read, this one is the absolute best, focusing entirely on the protagonist's career. He's not yet an adult yet, and he already has two female Zerg with whom he has a close relationship. The world-building is also excellent; you can clearly see that the larger world view still emphasizes the rarity and prestige of male Zerg, but unlike other Zerg novels, it doesn't portray them as having excessive privileges. The overall direction of the story revolves around the protagonist's career, making it a very enjoyable read. Highly recommended!
