Synopsis

The swarm.
A unitary force of countless entities.
Nightmarish creatures from the darkest depths.
All working towards a greater purpose.
Simply fulfilling their role in a complex system.
Abducted from the world I know I am now forced to become a part of this.
Forced to help these horrors to increase their power.
However, they are not mindless killers.
There might be a way for me.
I could influence them from the inside.
To prevent that anyone has to die.
To protect the ones I love.
Maybe I can adjust.

If not for the eggs.

    This novel is immensely difficult to read but not for the body horror, race transformation, and wasp/ant-like biology. Formicea is difficult to read because of the main character's borderline obsession with being human, doing human things, and ascribing human traits to non-human beings. Never has a novel given me such emotional pain because of the actions, choices, and words of a character. Honestly, this is probably only a problem for me, and to another person would seem like a good thing however for me her obsession with humanity is migraine-inducing and disappointing. The grammar is fine if you don't have a stick up your ass and if you can handle a documentary on ants you will be able to handle this story.

    Formicea is one of those stories that start off really strong with a good introduction both to the character and the universe, but quickly tapers off into "nothing".

    The grammar is good, the soft-core body horror and portrayal of the MC's emotions are well done and clear.

    that is in the beginning, after the reintroduction of her family and later other humans, the quality of the character and world building plummets, the character more so then the world, and she becomes a total push over with next to zero ability to even think for herself. I tried sticking to the story for a while to see if this was just a phase to give her opposition and a point to grow from but as of writing this (chapter 121) that is still not the case.

    Pretty good

    Im interested to see the interactions between an insectoid race and humans. Their cultures are so different, so it'll be interesting to see how they mix.

    The grammar isn't very good, but I don't care

    The MC cares quite a bit about being human, which is slightly annoying, (I want to surpass the limitations of the basic human form) but I guess a lot of people would act the same way as her.

    This is weird, in a nice way. I like the horror and dysphoria she feels as her body starts to change against her will, and her contant anxiety is easy to relate to from my point of view

    I don't usually write reviews but this series is edging me constantly 

    This series has so much potential but got wasted because of the MC. Usually in fantasy stories the MC is someone who is curious or willing to be open-minded to accept fantasy elements of the setting but the MC not curious not open-minded, always rejecting new things and doesn't learn anything. For example it's been 102 chapters and she still doesn't accept her children and hates them. She has little to no character development from chapter 1 and the only change is she tolerate the hive even tho they helped her with all their might (yes, the queen changed her race but it's because she can't communicate and weak and besides queen everyone helps her)

    I feel like everyone else in the family would be better MC than her like they are afraid of the insects but they try to understand and learn about them

    The MC acts as a spoiled brat. She is against killing or harming humans even tho they try to kill or enslave her. MC freaks out EVERYTIME something or someone from her family decides something for themselves.

    And weirdly there are modern stuff in mediaeval time like prom?!? From my knowledge she didn't go to any school.

    In conclusion MC doesn't grow or learn and love humans and hates bugs

    Erys can be a pain at times, especially in the earlier chapters, but aside from that the novel is literally perfect imo and even our dear MC is slowly growing up and into her new role.

    I'd recommend reading it. Especially if you like Monster Society type stories.

    I feel like the 'Indecisive Protagonist' tag needs to be repeated three times over, seriously, brace yourself.

    The world, good writing, and learning about the bug society and how humans might react to them is compelling. I find myself rooting for the humans or insects back and forth with compelling characters and views on both sides, sans the MC. Learn to laugh at the misery of the MC and enjoy a compelling world and story.
