Western Fantasy / Cyberpunk / Infinite-Flow / Crossover Anime / Power Fantasy
(For my own reference) Protagonist fan, long novels, plot-driven, fully realized worlds, B-king protagonists, incredibly satisfying reads, no frustrating setbacks, some niche-kink stories mixed in, and my personal picks of the finest.
Typical and Atypical Insectoid Stories
I totally get the appeal of insectoid stories: redemption, face-slapping, and contrasts in social status. The genre’s unique settings push all of these to the extreme.
Recent Ongoing Stories with a Submissive Top: Beloved Tops Are the Best
I’m a top’s mom and love stories where the top is doted on by the bottom. I’m not into ordinary bottoms. Everything on this list is something I’ve been following recently. I’ll mark the ones where they dote on each other.
Top Protagonist Reading Log
My tastes are all over the place, but I mainly lean toward strong, capable bottoms and admire the strong. Longer comments usually mean I was reading the story at the time. I'll make sure to carefully record what makes each story shine later.
Unconventional Insectoid Stories (Updates in the Comments)
Some insectoid stories with plots and settings that don’t follow the usual formula. This list is mainly for my own reference, and most involve the protagonists suffering, so please check for potential dealbreakers.
Strong Bottoms, Dominant Tops! Space! Beautiful and Powerful!
I like couples where the top is strong and the bottom is even stronger. I love gorgeous tops and powerful, muscular bottoms; most of my list features muscular, strong, handsome bottoms. And since I love beauty and strength, there are lots of insectoid stories.
Top-Dom Stories (Omegaverse, Sentinel/Guide, and Insectoid Settings)
Mostly interstellar stories that give me a different kind of ache or blow me away with their settings
Zerg Setting
I've gone through a whole bunch of insectoid stories, so I'm marking this list.
Insect Protagonists Who Pursue, Updated in the Comments Too
Stories I personally enjoy, shared with fellow fans
Mutual Devotion, Prefer the Top, with a Focus on Writing
Mostly from the gong's point of view. I'm picky and care about the writing and plot. I have some unusual tastes (I like seeing the gong suffer). I'm all-in on danmei, and my dealbreaker is shou worship.
Seme POV
Classics I haven't read, series
Saved for Myself: Zerg Novels Worth Rereading After Forgetting the Main Plot
I never organize my bookshelf, so I can never find which books are good.
Stories with Excellent Plot and Romance
Excellent ensemble cast, brilliant mysteries, layers of truth peeled back one by one, and a tight plot that always takes you in unexpected directions.
Zerg-Insect World, Beloved by All, Top-Dom Lead
The protagonist is the focus. I like plots where they use a secret identity and pretend to be weak while secretly being powerful. Most are ongoing or abandoned, so check before you start.
Some Zerg Fiction
There are some hugely popular books I don’t like, and they’re still not going on this list. This includes, but isn’t limited to, childish worldbuilding and major problems with the characters or the author’s stance. Updating as I go.
Recommended Insectoid Novels, Great for a Reading Slump
Recently, I’ve been inexplicably drawn to this type of story. I’ve read many of the popular ones already, and I’ll mention it when I haven’t finished one. I don’t have many dealbreakers, so there are no content warnings.
Insectoid Stories, Top-Centric or Top-Leaning
A summary of my tastes: I prefer stories with a top protagonist, and mutual devotion with a focus on the top. Of course, a little angst for the sake of drama is fine, whether the top or bottom suffers?? But nothing too extreme??
Top Books with Dominant Protagonists
Most of these are insectoid-race stories.
Collected Here and There, To Read or Currently Reading
Interesting blurbs I found in other reading lists. I haven’t read some of these, so I gave them one star for now. I’ll update the ratings after reading them.
Protagonist Fans Can Read These Protagonist-Top Stories
Oh my god, oh my god. Say it ten thousand times and it's still oh my god. I read danmei, but I'm a woman. I don't want to defend it, and don't help the other side.
Insectoid Stories with Charismatic Tops and Interesting Worldbuilding
Insectoid-race stories with distinctive worldbuilding. They are not traditionally fixated on romance, but instead have logic and substance, or depict twisted, obsessive love and unrequited love
Nonhuman Characters
What I love about nonhuman characters is their inhuman quality. If they don't have that, they need some other compelling point. Most importantly, ideally they're hopeless romantics.
Eclectic Reads | Ongoing: Looking Forward to Updates
I currently read danmei and romance, with 1v1 pairings and no hang-ups about sexual purity. I prefer stories that aren’t realistic.
Personal Favorites: Mutual Devotion, Dominant Leads, and Beautiful Men
I'm not too particular, so there may be some potential triggers, but I can generally guarantee that the leads dote on each other. Browse with caution, and I'm sorry in advance if anything upsets you.

Author, if you don't come back to update, I will recommend the steel fire method to you. (The one next door started serializing in 2020, and it is not over yet. It stopped in February 2022 and came back in April; it stopped again in May 2023, and resumed in January 2024; it stopped in July 24, and resumed in February 2025; it stopped in August 2025, and resumed in April this year. It seems that it only updates for half a year every year, and I haven't checked whether it is updated weekly or every other day in this half year) [dog head]
Haha, next weekend's update a month ago, Jinjiang's authors are really better at procrastinating than the other.
It's National Day, it's a holiday, can there be one update every seven days? [Lie flat]
Why, I have been waiting for you to come back for so long, but you suddenly disappeared for two months [vomiting blood] [crying]
I really wish I had a pair of eyes that have never read this article, so that I can read it again
If we don't update, it will be next weekend [dog head]
Has it changed from weekly updates to semi-monthly updates? [Crying]
By the way, there are so many high-level female insects from Jiangnan (Lu Mingfei)? The essence of Lu Mingfei's admiration for Nono is self-pity. In fact, the same is true for the insect emperor Laoden, but he snatched away his Nono (Liddell), and Liddell stabbed him in the back, and his Nono was disillusioned, so he could no longer look up to him and feel pity for himself, and could only comfort himself in a more straightforward and magnanimous way (Hey). There are only a few female bugs with names in this article. Lao Deng has graduated from his senior schoolmate. The villain looks down on those who are incompetent and can only be reserved. 523 Is too happy to feel sorry for himself. The remaining few are purely intimidated by Lao Deng and 523 and cannot even become Lu Mingfei.
It's so hot, it's even, where is the author [Let me be healthy]
Next weekend, it's still a long time away
