I understand the XP points of the Zerg novel: redemption + slap in the face + status comparison. The special settings of the Zerg novel push all of these to extremes.
The first time I read it, I thought it was a cliche story about a male earth worm and a female alien worm who is cold on the outside and a bitch on the inside, so I gave up after reading the beginning. Later, I couldn't find any other good Zerg stories, so I clicked on this one again. I was unexpectedly surprised. The story is not cliche and can be read again.
Background setting: The Zerg race went to war with humans on Earth. After the mother bugs were killed, society gradually split. The once noble female bugs went their own way, and the male bugs became tools for reproduction [yellow heart].
What amazed me was the author's explanation for "Zergs all have human forms": During the war between Zergs and humans, human beings were simulated through mimicry. Because most of the earth's warriors are men, the Zerg mimics, regardless of gender, are in the form of human males. The stronger the force, the more realistic the mimicry.
The world view of this article is very complete: In the early days of Zerg society, males were superior to females. Later, the females overthrew the old system. In the new system, the females became the real masters of society, and the males became raised public goods and must provide [yellow heart] services to the females.
Human beings traveled through the Zerg tribe, and their bodies were transformed into male bugs, becoming the playthings of powerful female bugs. They escaped with the help of their female bug wives (I saw this here). The background setting is female-centric, with females holding absolute power as social leaders, while males are just vases decorating mansions. I think this setting is quite reasonable.
