The Insectoid Savior's Everyday Rise

This is the book I've subscribed to the most besides Shuyu's "The Witch," around 2500 chapters. I endured all the idiocy and smut in the beginning, even with my high tolerance for explicit content. The later part, where the protagonist transmigrates into different worlds within the book, was alright, but the "First Holy Island" chapter truly disgusted me. The synopsis states the protagonist is single, so there shouldn't be any of this so-called "gods" voluntarily becoming women to be fucked and have children. For someone with such high tolerance, this is the most unacceptable thing. Maybe the author got carried away and forgot about the single protagonist setting, or maybe they thought the protagonist was...

I started reading this book in my second year of high school and have continued until now, my second year of university. It feels like such a long time, and I'd be doing the author a disservice if I didn't write a review. Initially, I was drawn in by the gender-swap tag, but I found it to be the kind of gradual gender-swap I really liked, rather than a sudden, inexplicable one, so I kept reading. Before the protagonist truly became the Zerg Queen, my favorite character was Su Mo. After all, she was one of the few normal female characters in the book (I feel like the later female characters were either... Well, let's just say they weren't really female), and I think she was the most successfully developed female character in the book. So, back then, I was constantly reviewing...

The book has 6 million words, 3 million of which are filler. The opening scene of riding a motorcycle fills 14 chapters, which I initially thought was the author's hobby, but it turns out the author just loves padding. Politics, economics, culture, passersby, scenery, names, games, main plot points, and subplot backgrounds are all used for padding. Can you imagine building up dozens of chapters of dark and brutal storyline just to kill a gang leader? Is that what you call dark? A dozen chapters of minor characters fighting in a small country are later revealed to be less than cannon fodder; even the main characters' battles aren't this detailed. If it weren't for the main character and a few other bugs not being completely broken, I would have suspected it was ghostwritten. Reading it felt like watching an episodic drama. The "brain worm" is supposed to be groundbreaking wisdom, but...

Those who read further on didn't care how many flaws the book had; they just wanted to see this shrew get exposed. The day it was hyped...

The beginning was alright, but it got increasingly problematic as it went on. While it might seem like I'm speaking from a god-like perspective, in the first chapter, the bugs were clearly there to save the protagonist. Su Mo, to save her sister, used the protagonist as leverage and even stabbed him in the chest. Note that the protagonist didn't know the severity of the stab or whether it would be fatal. After escaping, Su Mo said she owed the protagonist a favor, a life-saving grace, even if it was forced. The writing got worse and worse. For example, Mu Yuan said, "What does 'life-saving grace' mean? He killed someone while trying to find your phone to call 120, delaying your rescue of the protagonist. Don't tell me the protagonist didn't know." Moreover, the wound was inflicted by Su Mo's group of mutated creatures. Later, there's an explanation of the rules...

This book is very good. It's worth reading.

God, being single and married at the same time?! (You can see the original tags at the link below the book review.)

Seriously, the combat rhythm is chaotic. When we went to the old bug site, we inexplicably engaged in combat, inexplicably switched battlefields, inexplicably found the previous generation of the mother bug, inexplicably were about to be killed by a cheater, and then inexplicably turned the tables and killed him. Honestly, it would be better to just have the female lead imprisoned and start a hentai/hentai anime adaptation.

To be fair, the novel's world-building is quite interesting, but the protagonist is infuriating. He constantly enjoys his status as the insect queen while shirking his responsibilities. I couldn't stand it after reading half of it. Apart from the protagonist, everything else is good.

A note before reading: This reviewer has not read the entire book, so some plot holes from later chapters may be unavailable. This post will be somewhat subjective and biased; please feel free to point out any inaccuracies. I have read up to Chapter 10 of Volume 7, "The Killers Are All in the Plan." My predicted score for this book: 8.0-8.5. First of all, I was misled by the word "slice-of-life." I initially thought it would be a formulaic work—funny in the beginning, focusing on slice-of-life moments; the main plot unfolds later, with the protagonist driving the story. My plan was to finish reading the slice-of-life parts before writing a review post to predict the score, speculate on the plot, and provide a brief summary of the backstory. However...
