A Bug's Guide to Survival

Fewer female characters, don't let the story drift into moe/cute tropes, and less self-indulgent fantasies from niche communities. That "Doomsday Lord" series next door ruined itself. You don't need to become human; you can be a humanoid creature.

When I first started reading this book, I was almost misled by the keywords in the featured reviews that said it had many female characters and was a "moe" (cute/moe) genre. 😥 But now that I've caught up to the latest update, all I can say is that it was all a lie.

Why aren't female-protagonist novels listed in the female-oriented category? Was this posted in the wrong place?

The earlier chapters focused on the protagonist's adventures, evolution, and farming. After March, the focus shifted to raising children. In recent chapters, the protagonist has disappeared from the story, and it's now the tale of several humans. I am disappointed

In a novel, a character's luck is ultimately determined by the author, and luck-related abilities are meaningless if they are not shown in the plot. And I don't think the protagonist is unlucky at all. Now we're in Chapter Eight. Earlier, we talked about how bad luck was actually intertwined with opportunity. By chapter eight, the acting had completely stopped. The protagonist encountered an F-rank monster he couldn't defeat, but the monster was immediately killed by a passing E-rank monster.

I would give it 8 out of 10. I initially came here based on the genre; I've been looking for high-quality fantasy/monster stories, not necessarily 8-point ones, but simply because I'm out of ideas. Worldview What attracts me most about this book is its worldview and power system. Is the author's power system original?

I can't concentrate on watching anymore. It seems like all the B-rank characters were hidden before the upgrade, but after the upgrade, they all appeared, and the world is full of B-rank characters. It's been like this for a while now; there aren't a single E or F-rank character left.

The last few chapters have been dragging on. They said they'd send off the main character, but they've been padding the story with so many chapters already, mostly just adding unnecessary background information, especially about various races, which have nothing to do with the protagonist. They even padded out so many chapters with the arrival of a beast tide.

The writing is alright, but the protagonist is an insect, right? Insects with constricted pupils don't really exist, do they? There are also quite a few human-like descriptions, which feels a little odd 😭. But overall, the flaws don't outweigh the merits. It's in my top ten of the monster-themed novel rankings. Keep writing! 👍

I've finished reading the Black Abyss volume, and I really want to say, why not insert some stories about Gulu and Ainan in the middle, at least giving the reader a chapter or two to let them know what the other two are doing, instead of just focusing on Bai You's perspective the whole time, with everyone else only briefly mentioned?
