I'm currently updating An Anti-Scam Guide to Blurbs, Starting with Me [Quick Transmigration]. The blurb is at the very bottom. If you're interested, please add it to your reading list, friends~
Blurb:
Note: The blurb is from a side character's perspective, but the main story focuses on the Gong.

Wang Xun transmigrates from Earth to an insectoid society.
As a fan of insectoid web novels, Wang Xun knows just how twisted this society is: male bugs are superior, while female bugs have low social status and poor treatment. Unfortunately, Wang Xun transmigrates into a female bug!
But that's all right. As a seasoned reader of insectoid fiction, Wang Xun knows all about female bugs making a comeback and getting doted on.
So when Wang Xun learns that the male bug Lin Si also transmigrated from Earth, he starts directing a story about "an Earth male bug saving a local tragic beauty of a female bug." If he's beautiful enough, "strong" enough, and miserable enough, surely the male bug will come to his aid and pamper him to the skies!
But things don't seem to be going very smoothly.
What's with this genuinely local female bug, Kramer?! He's handsome, but not beautiful! How can the male bug save him if he's so strong? And... could he stop being so forward with the male bug? He needs to be restrained! Restrained!
Hmph, whatever. In the end, Lin Si will still fall for me.
Then one day, a trending topic suddenly appears on the interstellar net: Lord Lin Si accepts General Kramer’s marriage proposal #Breaking#

A well-behaved male bug who transmigrated from Earth, Gong x genuinely local, handsome and strong, pampered female bug, Shou
Lin Si x Kramer
* Content notes and original worldbuilding:
The Gong is weaker than the Shou in bed, so if that bothers you, don't read this~
In this setting, insectoids have male bugs and female bugs. Male bugs are all men, while female bugs include both women and men.
This insectoid society isn't that extreme. Male and female bugs can both be good or bad, and society tilts in favor of male bugs without being too extreme.
There probably won't be any laying eggs or having children. If there are kids, they'll be adopted.
The Gong is a good boy, and the Shou is sunny, with a bit of a roguish, handsome edge.

This is a fictional world and has nothing to do with reality. Please don't draw parallels to real life.

Coming soon: An Anti-Scam Guide to Blurbs, Starting with Me [Quick Transmigration]
Lu Yu is a devoted fan of romance novels. He's read countless books, but still can't escape misleading blurbs.
Lu Yu: I'm so sick of deceptive blurbs!
Then the Blurb Anti-Scam System comes looking for him. He becomes an anti-scam warrior and teams up with the System to begin his campaign against misleading blurbs.
World One:
This is a powerful CEO romance that claims to be about mutual pampering. According to the blurb, the CEO Gong falls in love at first sight with an ordinary Shou. With the Gong's support, the Shou works hard, and the two reach the top together.
But where is the Shou's hard work in the story? Oh, turns out he's working hard to freeload off the Gong without even realizing it!
Lu Yu rolls up his sleeves and transmigrates into the CEO Gong, personally teaching the ordinary Shou how to become stronger.
Lu Yu: Now can we have some proper mutual pampering... Why is he looking at me more and more dangerously?
World Two:
This is a space-opera ABO novel that claims to have an Omega Gong and an Alpha Shou. According to the blurb, the Gong is a sickly beauty, and the Shou is a fierce guard dog. They help each other and become an exemplary spacefaring couple.
But why does the Gong have to drag his frail body around to rescue the guard-dog Shou every time, and why is he so dominant in bed? Meanwhile, the Shou is always waiting to be rescued and complaining that it hurts.
Lu Yu waves a hand and transmigrates into the Omega Gong: You want me to save someone? Ha! If he can't get out, I'll just break up with him.
Later, the Alpha Shou becomes a space marshal.
World Three:
This is a melodramatic novel that claims to be about a spoiled Shou chasing his Gong after losing him. According to the blurb, the Shou acts recklessly in the early stages while the devoted Gong pursues him relentlessly. In the middle, the Gong gives up, and the Shou comes to his senses and starts chasing him. By the end, the two get back together.
But why does the Shou abuse the Gong so viciously early on, physically and mentally, and then get forgiven in the middle and later parts just for apologizing and shedding a few tears? So the Gong gets abused for 90% of the story and the Shou for 10%?
Lu Yu stretches out his long legs and transmigrates into the devoted Gong: You want me back, but you're not trying hard enough? Then bye~
After that, Lu Yu is pampered like a prince by someone who has loved him for a long time.
World Four:
This is a school romance that claims to be about a double standard in the name of love. According to the blurb, a cool, aloof top student Shou falls for the sunny top student Gong who once saved him, and from then on acts cold toward everyone else but is direct and affectionate with the Gong.
But why does the Shou let countless people flirt with him without pushing back, while treating the Gong with indifference? Oh, so he's only cold toward the Gong. That's a double standard too.
Lu Yu brushes back his bangs and transmigrates into the top student Gong: So you're playing favorites? A sunny puppy always has plenty of people who love him!
Later, the sunny puppy is carried off by a cool, aloof guy.
*
More anti-scam blurb stories to come: a beloved star who can't win over the Shou, a local white moonlight male bug hated by every bug, a flirtatious ancient-style cross-dressing Gong who is only flirtatious with one restrained Shou...

The protagonist, Lu Yu, is a cheerful, energetic, handsome guy in his own right, but he takes on specific personalities based on each novel's character when he enters its world.
