no it's not bro XD

Definitely amongst my favorite original novels out there amongst non human protagonist reincarnation types. Great plot, world building and grammar . At 40chapters the story is still in infant stages, maybe toddler. But it’s been a real fun ride. Binged all 40 in two days. Highly addictive and gonna recommend this novel to everyone

If you look through the reviews you will see that all the hate comments are from people who have read less than 60 chapters.
While people who have atleast read 100 chapters or more (like me), praise this novel, and its creative author.

The story may seem like the it doesn't go the conventional way at first, like the choices the Mc make. You may even feel like dropping this novel. But trust me and keep moving forward, once u get to atleast chapter 60, u will realise this is a diamond hidden in coal. Infact i reccomend all readers give a try(force yourself to read it even if u cant deal with the seemingly dumb choice MC seems to make) to uptill chapter 62, then i bet u will keep with this novel.

About this novels MC, he choices may seem stupid and illogical to people, especially wat he does in chapter 45(note: many of you will even feel like to drop this novel at this chapter, but please hold u will together and march forth), but later on you will see why his decisions will benefit him.

Also its not that the author is accidentally making the mc stupid, but the author is trying to portray that he is genuinely ignorant in this story, and he is improving by learning from his mistakes. This is what is meant by character development.

If you are here to see a kumo desu ga, nani ka MC in this novel that instantly knows what skills to pick,or where watever legendary skills she picks becomes immensely useful, or have a diety watching wat the MC is doing while talking/informing her, then this is not tat kind of novel.

Sure this novel shows a MC similar to kumo desu ga, but the only advantage that the MC has is his human inteligence. But that just gives him a headstart (Spoiler: As its strongly implied that monsters in lower levels will have higher inteligence and thinking capability) and lets him choose how to evolve/mutate. Other than that he is no other advantage, no info about the world from a God, no understanding of how dangerous situation he is or anything.

This is a novel where it clearly shows the intensity of survival. The MC sometimes have to pick the short term benefits just to survive bit longer than the long term benefits. But after each of his trials and tribulation he find ways to turn his short term benefits to a long term advantage. That is the best thing of this novel.

This is my second review now for this novel, having read from the first release till now, this is arguably the best novel on Qidian, amongst all the fluffy romances novels, or the many, many mind numbingly generic face slapping novels, and not to mention the poorly written/poorly translated novels on this platform, this novel stands out as a unique masterpiece. It hits all the right notes on the right order, it does not concern itself with what other novels are doing. The author does a brilliant job in all aspects of this fantastical comedy of a transmigration monster novel. If you are hesitating on reading this novel, don't. Make the time and put aside other novels, this one is better.

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.

**. ALL PRAISE THE MIGHTY GANDALF!!!!! MAY HIS BEARD BE EVER BUSHY AND WHITE

An enjoyable book, the system the world has in place is interesting. Kill things to level up, level up to get skillpoints for upgrading and gaining new skills, eat things for bio points, mutate yourself with bio points. The writing speed has been consistent at 7 chapters a week for as long as I have been reading it. One of the nice things about this book is that the author has knowledge about ants and did some research. Now here are some ants for the Ant God.

My favorite evolution story. Lots of humor, well-written, keeps the focus where it needs to be. Great work! I highly recommend this to anyone who likes these types of tales.

Preeeeetty good. Nice take on the monster evolution genre. And him not immediately becoming OP is nice as well. Looking forward to more. Hope he can be the best Ant he can ant.
