This story is great and for sure deserves to be and eventually will be higher on the ranking (assuming consistent updates). The main reason for this is because until now this story has been written as a web novel and not a regular novel like many of the others have been. This can be seen from the superb world building which while not particularly in-depth (yet) has laid a wonderful foundation for easy expansion either deeper into the dungeon or up onto the surface and has already shown factions and conflict in the human society allowing for hundreds or perhaps thousands of future chapters. This is usually lacking from other stories in the rankings as even those with a pre-established lore need new areas or factions occasionally and without a foundation it always feels like an ass-pull and will eventually limit their longevity. The system the mc has, while cliched, also lends itself to the web novel format as it allows the author to show numerically and or cleanly through a menu that the characters are progressing in each chapter meaning daily updates always feel meaningful and not like fluff. Finally the most impressive thing about this story is the speed at which the character grows, that is to say slowly. Other stories on the rankings almost always show their mc's rocket up in strength to quickly become influential in their world. However I find that this is often short sighted as it hampers world building and longevity as possible enemies quickly become scarce and we never see the prospective of the world as a little guy. This story does not have that problem as the mc is not the strongest and does not seem to be likely to become the strongest any time soon allowing for plenty of interesting hurdles to over come for a long time. Honestly the only real gripe i have is the ridiculous main character who seems to be both comically unperturbed by his situation (literally) as well as far too eager to enter an unknown ant society. This could be easily remedied however if the author either bluntly stated that being an ant has somehow warped his perception of reality or showed that his sanity was rightfully cracking around the edges but that his silly sense of humor was keeping him together, explaining his constant need for jokes.**.
