Description

A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness with no memory, climbing out of an egg. She has human knowledge that doesn’t seem to match her body. Now she needs to not only survive, but figure out the blue boxes, her biology, and how to build up and protect her hive, while balancing her Hive Queen instincts with the human parts of her mind. Her instincts want her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and destroy everything that might possibly one day be a threat. She’d rather not become an apocalypse. But she does need to secure resources and territory for her hive, and maybe a bit of conquest wouldn’t be so bad. A fantasy adventure with litRPG elements and kingdom building, telling the story of a Hive Queen and her family. Discord:link

Some good stuff so far. Still early days, but scratches that kingdom-buildy, minion master kinda itch. Character's are quite simple but well enough done so far, fights are alright aswell.
At the time of writing this review it's still at that early stage in the story where the mc isn't established and the world is still largely an unknown. So it could fall apart, or it could rise up to be outstanding depending on how the author pulls this all together.
But from me atleast I'd like to see how well this story gets pulled off. Though I mostly just want to give this a bump cus I feel it deserves it. There ya go, I think I waffled enough to hit 50 words.
Give it a try
K bye

Even drones and other characters have a huge descriptions and even make you fall for some of the "bad guys" and the hive itself is so well put together.
You depict battles and strategy so well that I really enjoy reading all parts and even have re read this story a few times!

Fun to read. The author does a great job of taking a reincarnated human and mixing her character with a Queen Bee whose instincts are powerful to grow and protect her hive. Her human side helps her grow her hive, and doesn’t get in the way like you typically see. She is in every way a Queen who commands respect and takes her duties very seriously, which is refreshing from the lazy protagonist who just wants an easy life. Moreover, her hive members are unified as a hive mind would be, but they retain enough individuality that they develop interesting personalities. Villains are also well done. It’s a mix of mindless monsters and shitty humans, arrogant bastards that are fun to hate, but also powerful and a real danger. The Queen Bee MC is strong, has strong potential, but is not overpowered. She’s vulnerable to physical attacks and must rely on her hive to protect her and visa versa. Only she can direct the hive to success and the System aids in helping them gradually gather power. Quite well paced and thought-filled with enough action and battle scenes and character development.

First of, I'm not an English native speaker, but if I didn't notice anything grammarwise then it's probably good.
The writing is good, and the story enjoyable to read. It doesn't fall into the ''this is an alien so my writing style have to be weird and unreadable'' trap.
The story is exactly what I'd ask from a hive-building fantasy setting story, and it's really good at it. None of the deeper lore is there yet, but the building pieces seem to have potential, and the power progression is satisfying. It's mainly a kingdom building/ classic litrpg growth. Much of the beginning is spent hunting for levels, and the latter chapters dipped into politics.
I'm being a tiny bit harsher on th character score, because while our protagonist is perfectly fine ( although probably nothing you've never seen, but then again there's only so much ways to write a hive queen), the secondary characters seem a bit one note. The story and the canon age of the characters are young, so I give it a chance, but as of now they do feel like we could switch all of their personalities around and nothing of note would change. Maybe it's for the better, since hive stories have a tendency to easily kill of secondary characters?

I do not understand some of the negative reviews honestly.100 chapters in I think the story has great promise, the quality of writing is very high, it has reasonable progression, an interesting story and system, frequent uploads. Most of all however, the characters feel alive and they are relatable and make understandable decisions.There is also a huge dimension and ethics regarding the controll and sentience of drones and war drones and a lot of attention on those parts.It takes a lot of skill and imagination to write like this and I enyoj it quite a lot.Thanks for a great story :)

I recommend reading this! It's really good. The main character is relatable and I like that they want to be friendly with other races, like humans. It makes them more empathetic. I also think its interesting seeing all the different groups of people. They're friendly so far but I'm starting to see hints that their might be a group later on that isn't so friendly, which means that not everyone in their society agrees on how to treat certain people or groups of people. I'm at chapter 24 so far but I'm really hoping that a human, elf, or similar race ends up joining the hive. That'd be really cool.
TL;DR: I recommend reading this!

I was pleasantly surprised at how this story is coming along. I was skeptical in the beginning since I've seen stories fainter before, but I've come to rather enjoy it as it's unfolded.
I personally want more information about the world, but I enjoy the way the author has been partitioning it out through the chapters.

A wonderful read.
A very unique literary RPG, with a fascinating world and intriguing premises. Regina is powerful, but has a lot of interesting character flaws that are very uncommon to find in the genre. The political manuvering doesn't rely on stereotypical villans or obtuse stupidity, and reminds me a lot of old classics like Honor Harrington. The hive style reminds me a lot of Law abiding pony's "Hive" series, and is definitely joining it on my absolute favorites list. A true gem!

From a small start to something greater than the sum of the parts. This series is one of the best I have ever read. Isekai LitRPG/LitRTS sums up the general story.
If you enjoy seeing progression not onlly in stats but also with in the world itself then please give this series a read!

Good book I am finding it a tad slow but not unbearable I feel the story yoyos from tunnels to humans back to tunnels I would prefer it to stay on one arch but that's just because I personally struggle with following more than one story line. Othere than that it's a great book great concept
