- Luka116Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0TL;DR - a very unique story with wonderful characters that make you yearn for more, a recommendation I would give to anyone who's seeking for a new type of isekai with elements of kingdom/base building & magic/skill experimentation. Without a doubt a must read for many if anything I say intrigues you, even if it doesn't get a revival.
Style - it's very good, not perfect or super unique but definitely something most would enjoy. Pacing is perfect for the story that it is, going into detail where readers want to know more but not neglecting other aspects, while also not being afraid to just summarize mundane things not of note. Debated making it half a point from perfect because it's not technically unique, however it fits this story amazingly so it's well deserved.
Story - wonderful, perfect, man do I wish there was more half as good as this is. It's a unique form of isekai, nothing out of this world but very niche I guess you could say. Elements of kingdom building are a big part of the story, though not the absolute main focus. One of the greatest aspects of it is the experimentation of how they system, its skills & magic, etc cetera work. If you're into that kind of thing, this is undoubtedly a must read even if all else fails to convince you.
Grammar - good & readable. Nothing exemplary, but at most there are minor hiccups every few chapters with a word misspelled here & there. It'll be a breeze to read, unless being anal about it is your sole reason for reading.
Characters - oh Lord the characters. They're wonderful, I love them, damn do they make me want to jump into the story & hug them. Main character is realistic, especially for his age. He's not some Gary Stue (Gary Sue?), his solutions are always reasonable & he's not some everything-works-first-try protagonist. The female lead is super lovable (long live the Queen!!), & all the side characters perfectly fleshed out for their roles. The side characters are actually a major part of why this story is as grea - Marwin33Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0As of chapter 4.
A man who search his soulmate and may find it in the hive of, as seen by human, "monstuous ant". Furthermore he is given as task by the god to bring worldpeace.
I am not english and have a realy poor knowledge of it. So i can't judge in the quality of it's style nor grammar, but the characters seem nice and it's easy to read.
Once again, an intersting story.
Thank you for this story i like it. - ShemryuRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I have enjoyed every thing I have read so far! You can tell they are a new author by some of the simple but understandable mistakes of new authors. Their writing ability has improved since the start at an admirable rate. The pacing at the beginning is rough and made the introduction to the princess feel flat to me. After the interlude she feels like a full character, it might just be that she gets more screen time from then on. I am liking the world and system. I hope to see where this story will end up it has a lot of promise going forward.
- dcs5782Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5As the title said so far so good I have enjoyed what has bin wrighten so far and even if the pacing is a little off to me as I think its going faster then it shud its not to bad. I also love the way the story so far portrays the hate that is a major part of the backstory its more real then a lot of other storys I have seen.
- FrostPrismRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I like the concept of the story and would recommend others to read. My only issues are with the grammar. For the instance, there was no capitalizing of I's and while referring to past tense you used the present tense. Also, I believe the story would be quite a bit better with some more explanations and a little world-building. But other than that no real issues and I enjoyed the chapters.
- Pau LisbjergRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0this story is bordering on being a "that kind" of story, but so far manages to stray away from it.
with enough time and effort i believe this can turn out quite fine. - SnorgleboggleRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I just finished binging the whole thing and I have to say I really like the slow and steady progression instead of the usual quick rise to power. The writing is also pretty good compared to most of the stories out there. The only thing I would like to see more of is the story progression. So far very little has happened yet the entire would is open for all kinds of shenanigans. No rush, I would just really like to see what happens next instead of 20 chapters in a row of skill leveling. Though with this chapter it looks like more exciting things are coming our way, as long as it hasn't been dropped since we havent gotten an update in 8 months. Looking forward to what you have next.
- uupatrooper2Royal Road★★★ 3.0First of all, I like the rough idea behind this. Human x Antgirl Queen, magic, and a very loose system. There are some interesting ideas here, though I think the ant queen and hive aspects are going to be difficult to write well in the future.
Now, as for the writing of the story... that's where things get rougher.
The easiest thing to fix is simply the grammar. Earlier chapters have a lot of capitialization issues. There are also a lot of missing subjects in sentences. IE "Can use something" instead of "I can use something." This occurs fairly frequently, but at least it is rarely confusing. Otherwise the grammar is pretty good, or at least has no frequently occuring problems.
The dialogue is pretty flat and uninteresting. The author seems to be trying to work on at least adding small actions and reactions which has helped a bit. However it's still pretty dull.
The MC also has a lot of weird assumed knowledge. For example, he suddenly shows up in the new world with basically no information about the world, looks at a building that has a sign with a sword on it and immediately knows it's the Adventurer's Guild. A lot of things like this show up in smaller ways. On the one hand it's a little nice not having the read the semi-obligatory "oh it's just like a game/lightnovel/etc" lines, but it's kind of jarring having this stuff just known.
In a related issue, the MC largely has no reaction to most things. Dead? Huh, no need to even comment on that. Transported to another world? Guess I'll look around a bit. Taken captive by antgirls? They seem like nice people. Again, it's kind of nice not dealing with the semi-obligatory freaking out scenes, but it's not just those that are omitted. It's any reaction. At all. It doesn't even phase the MC, or influence his thinking, or... anything. The MC is basically an empty vehicle for moving the perspective of the story and providing some excuses for things to happen around him.
As for the other characters, for the most part I thin - GodCoreRoyal Road★★★ 2.5The author doesn't seem to have a good understanding of how people behave in situations mentioned in the novel.
And the way the dialogue and descriptions are make the unrealisticness worse. The same scenario could be put in a better and more realistic way by a more experienced author, but the author is bad at this.
