Description
After three days of working nonstop, Cheng Zhaoci has transmigrated (read: had a stroke) as is everyone’s wish. What does it feel like to transmigrate into a male, the rarer s*x of the insectoid race? Cheng Zhaoci would reply, ‘yeah never mind that, there is still work that is my job to do.’ One day, the internet of the insectoids that had a sore lack of entertainment media suddenly featured a new account that had short serial comics. The comics had sweet love, passionate fighting, and all sorts of imaginative stories. Many fans flock to follow this account. Of course, many shemales were sceptical of the 1-to-1 monogamous love depicted in those comics. Later, when Wing Commander Wei Zhuo was deep behind enemy lines, his xiongzhu, the Wing Commander Cheng Zhaoci came to rescue him without hesitation. That is when the shemales realised – there certainly can be sweet, sweet, love. It just doesn’t belong to them. The shemales only want to smile and wave them away.

My Thoughts on Insectoids: The Job of the Males
"Insectoids: The Job of the Males" is a novel I found myself strangely drawn to, despite its, shall we say, unique premise. It's a blend of sci-fi, romance, and slice-of-life in a world built on insectoid-inspired societal structures. It's a complete story, so if you're looking for a binge, this could be it.
First Impressions
Initially, the concept felt a bit… out there. The whole "zerg" society angle, with its clearly defined roles and power dynamics, took some getting used to. However, I quickly found myself intrigued by the world-building. It's definitely not your typical omegaverse setup, even though it does share some similar themes.
What Works Well
What I appreciated most was the lightheartedness woven into a potentially dark setting. It explores themes of discrimination and societal change, but it does so without being overly preachy. The main character, a cartoonist, is easy to root for, and I enjoyed seeing the world through his eyes. His interactions with friends and even his adopted brothers (who are "females" in this world) were genuinely amusing. The author really shines in crafting a cast that feels alive, with their own motivations and quirks. I also enjoyed how the MC used his artistic talents to help change society for the better. It felt like a fresh take on the "isekai" trope.
Areas of Concern
The romance, while cute, did feel rushed. I didn't quite buy into the suddenness of the MC's feelings for the male lead. There wasn't enough build-up, and their connection felt less developed than the MC's relationships with other characters. Also, while the story touches on serious issues like torture and abuse, these elements often felt like background noise, which created a strange disconnect. I also felt that the story didn't explore the depths of this world's darkness to the fullest potential.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Insectoids: The Job of the Males" is an enjoyable read. It's a fluffy, feel-good story with a touch of depth, interesting characters, and a unique premise. If you're looking for something light and different, this might just be the novel for you.
