Really well done. It settles into a vignette style that gives a slice of life feel. The smut is quality. The setting is like a Magic the Gathering system apocalypse, which is fun, and I don't feel it requires any special foreknowledge from the reader. I don't play myself, but I enjoy this story.
Two elements that I think propel the story while also being slightly unexplained and unexpected are a lack of panic and the addition of casual s*x. I think the average person would panic more during an apocalypse, especially with so many people dying around them. Also the average person usually asks for dinner before s*x.
(I do think they had dinner but it was still like day one s*x, with the excuse being, 'oh, this casual s*x might increase our odds of survival.')
The majority of the characters aren't that casual about s*x, but the fact that it does appear in the story even once may be relevant to some readers.
All of the characters are handling the apocalypse pretty well and not falling into the kind of major panic that would leave them a dysfunctional wreck. No one addresses this fact either. Perhaps there is an explanation to come, but it remains slightly unbelievable. On the other hand, not wasting pages describing the protagonist's tears and fears allows the story to immediately get into action and drama, which is something I can absolutely appreciate.

So far so good. Tis a nice start to a smuty survival hive queen story. I really enjoy how species effects the mentality of the survivors, and the system is robust without being to gamey. We'll see how things progress in the future.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the MC grows into her Dominance. For now she's still struggling with it, and lets it push her towards silly decisions, or ignores it entirely when she's unsure/embarrassed.

I have a lot of thoughts about this story, and it might seem overly negative, but I do like what's here so far for the most part.
For what I like, the setting is great. It's a strange situation where at this point in the story I don't really know what has happened to them. It's a mystery set up and it's handled very well and I looked forward to learning more about their situation as things progress.
The characters are all interesting too. Each have their own skill sets, their own lives, before and after whatever dropped them into this situation.
