What would it be like to be a punny, black and yellow, honey-making insect in a world dominated by humans? In his first life, Enno wouldn’t be able to answer that question. His second life is a different story.
Reborn as a psychic bee in a tumultuous new world, Enno may or may not go on to create a fervent bee family obsessed with turning the entire world into their hive. Humanity is fighting to stay dominant, monsters are becoming restless, and the gods are NOT happy. If Enno wants to succeed, he’ll have to contend with giant killer birds, angry humans, and even the voice in his own head.
Because his body’s previous owner never vacated the premises.
What to expect:
An ever-expanding world.
Quite powerful protagonist.
A magic system based on psychic/mental powers
Interpersonal and internal conflicts
Hive-mind shenanigans
Undermining a god-made gamelike system.
And puns. Lots of 'em. Maybee too many.
A story inspired by series like Overlord by Kugane Maruyama and So I'm a Spider, So What? by Okina Baba, as well as the plethora of indie litrpg stories.
Includes swearing and some degree of gore, potentially traumatic content.

The concept is good and the power system is incredible. However, this falls into a monster reincarnation tendency I CAN'T STAND.
As the chapters progress, MC starts acting like he can do whatever he wants to humans just because he thinks he's stronger than them and wants to expand aggressively or that they are a 'threat'. He won't let anything happen to one of the bees no matter what, but who cares if humans are put in danger doing his bidding, right? They're obviously expendable and their lives aren't as important as a bee that hates humans for no reason, after all...
What makes it more infuriating is that MC literally mind controls them and forces them to his will, they cannot refuse a single order he gives them nor can they even end themselves.
Yet the story tries to frame this as if it's justified in any way. A certain group of humans destroyed his forest before he even arrived in the world so his solution is to invade the nearby city and enslave it under the justification that it's 'just so they can't harm the hive', while at the same time being so flabbergasted that they would all rather fight than have their free will taken away.
There are multiple human characters that are not villains at all (even straight up heroic), but are forced by MC to risk themselves just so he can violently expand. Yet the tone of the story is that it's antagonistic for the humans to look for a way to escape the mind control and betray the MC, whom doesn't care for their lives at all and makes no attempts to develop a fair relationship on account of the fact that he can just enslave and force them to help him expand.
This is compounded by the fact that some if not most of the other bees just hate humans for basically no reason at all. There's the destruction of their forest in the blood memories they can access, but none of them experienced that personally, and they have already learned that most of the humans did not even have motivation to do such a thing in the first place.
(Another reason enslaving the city was stupid, because they didn't do it, they lost a valuable resource when it was destroyed too.)
Even with the great power system, how can you really enjoy a story where the MC strips people of their free will, forces them to work for him at their own expense, and is never punished for it?

Read only up to chapter 6, so things might change. So far though, it's kind of boring. The system "merged" a creature - system with a human - system, yet none of the features of a human - system are present, neither is there any sight of evolutions (staple of monster litrpg) or levels in general. The bee puns don't really fly. There's something in there that might turn into something great, but so far it is mediocre.

The story starts solid but I don't know why but the MC and the bees go from being cute and awesome to just assholes and it is very strange. Like we are being railroaded into some kind of conclusion.
MC could just have tried to better the city with the help of the bees. It seems doable.
The story still has hope and I really wish it will go back to that high quality it started with

An enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to reading more when possible.
A fine take on the reincarnated as a monster genre.
Thanks for the chapters.

Hella fun story of beezzar happenings. Nice simple comedy book with nothing suspicious like bees. Only fellow humans here, 100%.

Quite a funny story about bees doing normal bee things like: making honey, creating supersoldiers, enslaving people and human experimentation. For the greater good of course.
Bunch of puns too 5/5

Dear author, I thank you for creating a book about bee hives. Honestly, I've wanted this for a long time, but I've never found one that I liked. Your book enchanted me. I'm loving the story, except that I wanted a more hierarchical hive, but following your style. I love blind but individual loyalty to the queen. But this is not a criticism, just a personal desire of mine that does not affect my pleasure in reading. I wanted to thank you for making this wonderful book. Thank you. And count on my support. And if you have doubts about whether your story is really being loved, look at my review and understand that you found an addict in your book~♡ ??

It takes a certain degree of emotional immaturity to enjoy a protagonist who is a psychopathic dictator, who hates humanity and has no moral values, who destroys the. Maximum value of life, free will, freedom, makes me wonder how bad those who enjoy reading these characters are psychologically, because to enjoy them you must have a very distorted justice system, with very low empathy, at least for me it is impossible to see the story throughof the character without feeling angry, it's the equivalent of reading about someone bullying or any abominations possible while presenting it as fair, logical or reasonable
I wonder under what premise and feelings the author wrote this
There is an indication of repressed terrible emotions, when you write in the skin of someone who uses their power to abuse power
