An entertaining novel similar to the others in the genre. Fairly unique in that the MC embraces his inner ant, and there are hints of worldbuilding and lore through interpersed interludes. The writing is casual, and has decent humor mixed in. Anyone who enjoys light litrpg elements and a reincarnation into monter story will enjoy this one.

A glaring issue is the formatting, where it clearly shows that the author copied and pasted from the site he originally published on, without fixing any formatting issues (like font size and paragraph spacing) that arose from that. There are also a fair number of typos.

 I don't know it so disappointingly, why mc is soooooo stupid, god, and he so bad. I like fiction like Kumo desu ga, nani ka, there was mc-bug too (but spider) that why i wanted to read Chrysalis, but sorry it so, so stupid all plot. God why i waste my time for this.

While the story isn't bad I found the MC rather dull and repetitive. The grammar leaves a lot to be desired. I would recommend you install a program like Grammarly it would fix 90% of the grammar mistakes.

One of my favorites story in RR.

Antmazing story featuring non human lead, non bipedal, isekai, LITRPG, monster evolution, consistent update and where MC strives for community rather being loner with great plot progression.

Early chapter need editing because grammar mistake and text size change regulary.

Highly recommended this story.

896 Chapters (and counting).

A lot has happened, and yet on the other hand things are really only just beginning to pick up speed.

The main character, Anthony, is clearly stronger than average for monsters on this level of the dungeon, but at the same time he is only on the 3rd level of the dungeon.

There is a lot of talk about ancient rituals, world shattering events, and unstoppable monsters. Yet we've only really just started to hear the whispers of it all.

A complex network of political interactions is unfolding, and yet the groups we currently know about can be counted on one hand.

There is enough groundwork set up for another 1000 chapters. But at the same time some limitations of the story are showing up. For example: the ant colony is showing itself to be an industrial powerhouse. There is only so long before the ant’s technology growth surpasses the technology of all other known races. The colony is expanding at an exponential rate, there is only so long before they reproduce by millions per day. Once you have a billion ants that are all trained and equipped as elites ~ the story will start to fall apart. Power creep is real. Already past city ending threats. Then what? Nation ending threats? World ending threats? Multiverse ending threats??

So the only worry is for the author to be able to tie up the big story arcs (bottom of the dungeon, end of world type of things) before the little story arcs have spiralled out of control.

One last note.

Chapters are SHORT . Very short sometimes.

Not a big problem if you can binge read 800+ chapters. But can get frustrating once you are reading the chapters as they release.

The story and characters here are great.  The plot progresses quickly and the naritive is light and amusing.  The grammar and spelling is pretty bad but the story is good enough that I'm able to ignore it.  I'm not sure why many of the other reviews don't like when he finds the colony.  I mean he's an ant now so it makes sense he would have an insinct to find and fight for his colony.  Either way the story progresses quickly so if you continue to read those "issues" with the story will resolve themselves.

 Thanks for the novel enjoyed to read it and like it very much and have alot op pleasure to read it and again thank you for it! It really is amazing story that you must just read and it really gives the vibe of enjoying to read the story.

I enjoyed reading this story for the most part. It's an interesting non-human MC litRPG story inspired by So I'm a Spider, So What? (which I think is really cool BTW).

The only thing I dislike is that the MC is constantly talking to himself. I find it to be annoying and it feels like it takes up like 50% of the story.

I have never in my life thought anything in a weird third person style like "Hey Smannesman you can do it Smannesman!". And I doubt any sane person has. And I don't get the feeling the MC is insane, he actually seems very well adjusted for what he apparently went through.

Generic shounen protagonist. The only difference I can find between him and other shounen protagonist is he kills people, yup he does that. But then he whines about it like an wounded dog. Fyi I don't like murder hobo protagonist. Cuz I'll probably die because of them...well because of cringe mainly. But anyway the protagonist have usual philosophy of I will kill monsters but not human(he is a monster). And of course because of his naivety the colony has suffered...but weirdly he never thinks of that. Probably cuz he's dumb as wood. And tbh the plot is pretty lame. It's about ants who have gotten intelligent. So yeah you would expect some tension between them cuz of their different thoughts but that never happens for they are brainwashed when they were in their eggs. But still evolution and stuff are fun to read....and sometimes a bit annoying too. But yeah it was able to make me read more than 700 chapter so it deserves a 3 star I guess....

I really like the way the story is starting, thank you so much for this entertainement. I love anthony and the xway he's seeing things so far.

Titus looks to be be a badass, waiting to see where all this stuff is bringing us!

I'm gonna binge reading your story i reckon!

Grammar is ok, system seems to be alright, i need more chapters to be certain, and will update my review with it :)
