Picking Up a Male Insectoid in the Garbage Dump

-Updates in December may be irregular- Vilia accidentally ends up on a garbage planet, where a pair of female insect brothers take him in. The younger brother, Qiaolezi, likes females, while the older brother, Bulait, hates males. Two major problems lie ahead: First, many female insects here don't believe males exist, and their romantic orientation is toward females. Pretending to be a subfemale isn't safe. Second, his awakening could happen at any moment. How can he hide that he's male? Vilia clutches his fake gland and vows to keep pretending to be a subfemale. Turning down Qiaolezi's advances is better than getting killed by Bulait. Qiaolezi ignores his older brother's warnings and brings home a subfemale he found in a garbage heap, determined to take advantage of having her close at hand. But after spending day and night together, the subfemale... turns out to be a male. Qiaolezi: ??? Bulait: Actually, I could do it. Qiaolezi: ??? He reassures himself: No way. My brother's a lonely old insect who's destined to be alone forever. Vilia: Alone forever? You mean spending forever with me? A few more completed insectoid novels: Lucky Star of the Insect Race Blurb Andre: "A male this weak? I could make him cry for ages with just one finger." Herman: "Pet the cat, pet the cat, pet the cat." Later. Andre: "My male spouse doesn't love me. He just likes playing with me." Herman: "I can't get enough." The Male Insect Doesn't Want Eggs, Very Short Blurb: The officer who was supposed to take over as legion commander requests leave on the grounds that his male spouse is entering his awakening period. This sparks indignation across the military network, especially among female soldiers who have been rejected by males. They grumble that the legion commander's luck is just too good: the Third Prince, who never attends gatherings, happens to show up, and it just so happens to coincide with the male's desperate, indiscriminate awakening period. This could all be a planned seduction. Insect Race 77, Not Long "Is getting married really this easy?" Hails asks, bewildered. Caesar deliberately adopts a menacing tone. "You don't want to?" Hails thinks it over carefully. "You haven't taken a quantum cannon blast for me, and I haven't lost my memory for you. We're already married? That's not how the process goes." Caesar: "..." Maybe he should leave this whole process to the insect who let Hails watch all those ridiculous TV dramas. An insectoid novel that hasn't even started: The Male Insect Seems Seriously Unwell Like most female soldiers, Noah works desperately to earn military merit. He shares the same simple, unassuming dream as most unmarried female soldiers: to enter the marriage-matching system, be chosen by an ordinary male, and walk down the aisle, or into the grave. Noah's application is approved, and he receives a photo of his male match. The male in the picture is beautiful, lovely, and fragile, with an anxious expression that makes you want to pull him into your arms and dote on him. Noah looks forward to a happy life, but instead is greeted by the male's icy warning. He kneels outside their marital home all night, seriously wondering if he's been catfished. The next day, the culprit innocently asks why he's kneeling there. That expression... is exactly the same as in the photo. Noah is forced to play along. The male acts completely differently from the night before, shyly drawing close to him and being impossibly cute. Even though Noah knows he's putting on an act, he recklessly leans in anyway, only to be punched and sent flying. His male spouse keeps switching between sweet and adorable, and violent and cold. One moment he wants cuddles, the next he's throwing little fists. Noah: The punches hurt, but the cuddles are sweet. Theme: Growing quietly in the dark, reaching for the sun
