This was interesting, though it felt a bit off in a few places. I think it would have worked better to have the Queen stop pretending she's afraid the insects she commands will turn on her, because it would make more sense that she's afraid of letting them down. Otherwise it seems contradictory to have her lose her human morality so easily but still behave like she's not part of her own faction. I really enjoyed how the novel felt like a RTS game in the later chapters, and it makes me curious as to how things will progress in the following novels. There are some elements you don't see in a RPG that only really come to play in an RTS, like the sheer mass of troops and various strategies. The interactions with the Elves and the war with the one kingdom was extremely satisfying, if ultimately far too short in the end. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the war itself, though in the end it makes sense that the element of surprise would have worked in the protagonist's favor. We don’t know her name, but Mushi (game handle) has been transported into what appears to be the world of the game she has played for years. She is disoriented and faced with a mega swarm of insects she has only seen on her screen. As she learns about the new world she is trapped in, she must fight the hive mind to preserve her individuality, while protecting and providing her swarm with the blood and slaughter they desire before they turn on her and feast on her body (They seem nice though). I'm going to call the main character Mushi-Oneesan because I don't think they ever actually give her a name beyond that. Sorry, if I'm wrong and just missed it.

Beginning: Good start, interesting premise and MC. MC is shown as decently intelligent and cunning, as well as cruel: which are all good signs in 'villain mc' lightnovels. Hive mind Core》 : The Countless Swarms even though they are all different individuals, They all talk the same way, because they form a collective consciousness centered around the queen. The swarm sync their minds and share with the queen. In overall, it wasn’t that outlandish for her to end up slaughtering a whole kingdom, it was already set though perhaps without much of the normal preps it should have taken. Note, that she already had a starting somewhat decent base and army to work with that can also easily grow. Also take note that sooner or later, war would easily broke out given her race traits and nature as well as the surrounding nations being under the God of Light’s influence already. It was already indirectly explained and set, the war and her actions. To fulfill their desires, she leads the Arachnea, destroying all who are vile in the world. From the religious zealots who murder those unlike them, to the immoral slavers who deal in the lives of others, none are free from her path of carnage. You can plead, weep, or beg, but she has no mercy—the swarm of the Arachnea lives only for victory and to serve Her Majesty.

The main character is a college student and at the same time a member of the villain guild ”Arachnia” in her favorite online game. One day she finds herself in a game-like world in the body of a 14-year-old girl. Despite the many differences from the virtual game, she is still the leader of Arachnia. The insects, known as Swarms, are completely subservient to her. Read Her Majesty’s Swarm Manga. Yes, by the way, after that, I actively started looking for games similar to this. At most I found a game about ants for mobile devices. Well, it was interesting, creating his army did raids. Enslaved other insects, developed. And after a week, I deleted. Mimesis skill》: A skill certain available only in the Arachnea Hero unit, Skill can change into Human form to hide the Arachnea Race. A morally gray story, our hero pretty swiftly takes command of her troops and decides to live out the fantasy of being a military authority and queen like in the game. Initially a protector, she soon becomes the predator that her swarm so craves. When this change happens, she says it's likely a product of the "collective consciousness", her losing her personality and humanity to the bloodthirsty intentions of beasts. Feels like an excuse to me, and especially so when you see other human like units keep a will and personality of their own. It’s not about insects, it’s about the world arena. But partly similar to the game I played MC. There, too, you can develop your army, improve units, capture other states, etc. That’s the beauty of this manga, the cheating!!! The queen is great: strong, smart, beautiful, cunning. And most importantly, she’s HARD and RIGHTeous!!!! I just love it, she’s not a swagger like so many of the main MC’s in the other stories. She’s a fierce and smart girl who, thanks to a game from the past world, can run this whole army.

After Grevillea know the truth of her death and wake up from the false paradise created by Samael the one who transferred Grevillea in the new world and also the one who created the event is happening in the story. Sandalphon said she must win this game for her soul will save by her... And the battle against Necrophage (Army of Dead) Unit in the Portrio Republic, Sérignan against The Headless Knight Hessian defending the other side and the other Swarms against the Wraith. The MC like Ainz saved (used) the elves under the premise of experiments, so to are the few humans that didn’t die (spared?) though they were better off dead really. Gosh, another gorgeous manga. Oh my god, my queen, you’re awesome!!!! She has all the power over the arachne. She kills all those nasty human creatures. Just aaaaah, what a delight and pleasure I feel). Maybe I’m a sadist, or maybe I just have a vile and insatiable soul. But I just cum when she kills those bastards!!!!! Who’s like me, 10000000000000000% read this manga, you won’t regret it!!! And thanks a lot to the translators and don’t you dare give up on this project!!!! It’s one of the best!!!! In her first life, she was obsessed with the "Arachnea," a spider-like race in the video game she adored. As an evil-aligned faction, they sought nothing but victory; the more they conquered, the more they grew, using the bodies of their enemies as fuel to multiply and expand the ever-growing swarm. Pardon me but I’ve just finished reading the 1st volume in the LN and thought that it wasn’t that unreasonable though exaggerated as it might be for the MC to have done what she has done.The Aerial Flesh Nest was the structure that produced Arachnea’s airborne units (Flaps Swarms). Honestly, the Arachnea was pretty weak when it came to aerial combat.

If it isn’t the main character speaking, dialogues are atrocious. My god these people do not sound very real. Dialogue is also only ever used to spit out facts about the plot and world, nothing else save for one or two specific scenes. Again, and again, and again, Sérignan keeps getting up and slashing at Samael. But it all ended up in vain. Grevillea notice that was no way we could win against the existence that originally created this world, they cannot defeat the devil. Samael was not amuse in what happening she said to Grevillea that she can reset the world, and the tragedy keep repeating and so on. Samael ask Grevillea if she drink the wine, the fond in Arachnea will be broken, but Grevillea disagree this term. Because Sérignan is like her comrades-in-arms who have fought so far and even the Arachnea race. In the End Grevillea can't hold herself anymore because of the injuries she attained in the battle against Samael. As Sandalphon said Grevillea soul will save after all the tragedy. Grevillea make his final goodbye to Sérignan and Lysa, Grevillea transfer the core of the hive consciousness to Sérignan to became the queen of the Arachnea that the Swarms would not be confused in her absence.. It tries to be edgy and dark so often it feels like a 14 year old boy trying to seem cool by making dead baby jokes. The main character will say again and again and again how she is killing elderly, pregnant women and infants and doesn't care. She really wants you to know she doesn't care. But the fact the protag is evil doesn't seem to bring anything to the actual table. The same problem that Overlord has where the protag is just surrounded by yes men, ends up with just a cast of boring 2D characters. No one has depth and any actual character depth is actively pushed against. Mimesis skill》: A skill certain available only in Arachnea Hero unit but Masquerade Swarm is a special unit able to use the skill. Skill can change into Human form to hide the Arachnea Race. In addition, the special ability of the Masquerade swarm was 《Self-destruction》. The destruction of the special ability of the Masquerade swarm is like a nuke.As far as she can remember,, she is an eighteen-year-old college student living in Japan. Now, she is finds herself in a land that is similar to the video game she played for years and is being recognized as the Queen of the Arachnae faction she played as. Now, she must find a way to return to Japan while trying to maintain her sanity, and avoid getting eaten by her so-called subjects by leading them to victory. What victory exactly are they looking for? Grevillea gave Maska for Masquerade Swarm to hide the identity when he/she scouted the information from a certain continent. It doesn't have any evolution traits, this unit can produce gained when it died in battle, its only purpose is a scout, disrupt, and gained information from other factions. These structures have functioned on something similar to the game’s mechanics, and we could utilize teleportation magic able to move a large swarm of meat to the base. Evolution》:The Knight Swarm’s evolved form is called the Bloody Knight Swarm. Imagine yourself clad in red armor; that’ll be your new form.” The Knight Swarm’s evolved form is called the Bloody Knight Swarm. Imagine yourself clad in red armor; that’ll be your new form.” When she became the Bloody Knight Swarm Sérignan, she would not only have new coloration and an additional pair of legs, but she’d also receive a huge stat boost. As an intermediate unit, she would defeat most enemies with one blow. To begin with, Sérignan was considered a strong hero unit that required slightly fewer experience points to level up than other hero units, and she had slightly higher stats. This was balanced out by the fact that toward the endgame, she needed more experience points to advance and her stats didn’t increase quite as much. Still, once she reached her final form, she reigned over all as one of the highest-ranked units in the game. In fact, Sérignan was one major reason why Arachnea had so much potential as a faction. Raising Sérignan properly meant eventually getting a unit capable of breaking the game’s balance. There are the usual hints of gods and grander schemes. The politics lends a nice perspective on the whole world, as a game of nations would feel a bit lopsided if we only saw her point of view, and it's clear that this initial campaign has made EVERY nation take notice of the Swarm. The bits with regular humans didn't work as well for me, because it's obvious how their stories will end.

Like, one and a half stars I guess. It really is just a ham fisted attempt to rewrite Overlord but this time with the Zerg from Starcraft. When a college student finds herself now playing her favorite realtime strategy game in real life, she doesn't take long to adapt. Even though her current situation is as Queen of the evil Arachnea swarm. For a while, things are almost peaceful . . . but the Swarm hungers for victory, and soon enough they get an excuse to fight. While things are a little different from how they were in the game, one element remains the same: she is the leader of Arachnea. Under her control, the insects, collectively known as the Swarm, praise her and plead for her to lead them to victory. To survive, she raises her Swarm and befriends the elves of the nearby forest. Isekai story where transported human girl is now Queen of the Arachneas (so psycho spider/scorpions yay)

Our main character is a college student who loves to play as the evil Arachnea faction in her favorite real-time strategy game. One day she finds herself in a world similar to the game world; besides, now her body is the body of a fourteen-year-old girl. Due to this ability, the Swarm do not feel pain nor death. The Swarm are resistant to diseases and poison due to their race, as their race handles poison quote well. The only exception is the Queen. A Swarm is used mainly for infiltration, hence having low stats (but still enough to be as strong as a human knight). Has a special ability called Mimesis (which Lysa and Sérignan can also use) to turn into a human. Even with appraisal, their race cannot be found out and their special ability is blending with the humans and then self-destructing to cause discord. As their explosions can be seen from all around the city, they should be at least Building Level.
