Description
Even until many years later, Lin Xi would still dream. In his dream, he was just an ordinary person, his companions didn’t die, they didn’t turn into terrible monsters. Helios didn’t have a positioning error, it never lost its coordinates in vast space, nor did it have to make a crash landing on that mysterious planet. However, when he opened his eyes and faced the creatures surrounding him — — Those compound crimson eyes, that horrifying elytra and that armour… and the thick pheromones lingering in the air — Lin Xi would wake up once again. His dreams will always be just dreams. And his reality is still as cruel as ever. He is no longer human. He is their Gyne, the Queen of Worms, and the Mother of Insects. …… At the same time, he is also His only and eternal love. “You know that you can never be that person, you’re just…” “I’m just a bug in his skin, my dear, I know what you have to say, but so what? Except for me, you have no other choice in this space.” Xavier smiled and flapped his wings, he tilted his head and said to Lin Xi. “Of course, you can also choose to raise another King Insect… hiss… but even then, you still need to be with me, right?”

My Thoughts on Mother of Insects
"Mother of Insects" is a wild ride, a novel that plunges you headfirst into a bizarre and often terrifying world of sci-fi horror. I went in expecting one thing and came out completely surprised. It's a book that sticks with you, even if you're checking for spiders in your room afterwards!
First Impressions
Initially, I was hesitant. Insects and body horror aren't exactly my cup of tea. However, the intriguing premise and the overwhelmingly positive buzz surrounding this novel pulled me in. The early chapters throw you into the deep end with a spaceship crash on a mysterious planet, AS192, and things only get weirder from there. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the mystery surrounding the planet and its inhabitants is immediately captivating.
What Works Well
The world-building is phenomenal. The author crafts a unique and unsettling universe where humanity has made contact with alien life, but at a cost. The integration of horror elements is masterfully done, creating a sense of unease and disgust that genuinely enhances the story. I found myself completely engrossed in the characters, especially the MC and the ML. The ML, despite being an insectoid alien, is surprisingly endearing and develops a sweet relationship with the MC, even if it starts a little rocky. The plot is intricate, with twists and turns that kept me guessing. The novel explores themes of morality, identity, and the nature of humanity in a way that's both thought-provoking and disturbing. The action is intense, the mystery is intriguing, and the horror is genuinely frightening.
Areas of Concern
The romance might not be for everyone. Some readers might find the initial dynamic between the MC and ML off-putting, particularly the MC's initial reactions to the ML's appearance. Be prepared for some potentially squicky situations.
