The World of Ants

If a person finds themselves potentially crossing over, they should first check if they possess any special abilities (cultivation genre). If not, they should see if those around them have any magical martial skills (fantasy genre). If still not, then they should determine whether they have traveled to the past or future (historical or sci-fi genre). However, the protagonist in this story doesn't need any of the above because they have crossed over as an ant... This story belongs to the pseudo sci-fi and farming genre, portraying the rise of ant civilization after the extinction of humanity. It does not involve magic, fantasy, or fairy tales. In writing, we will respect the physiological habits of various insects in reality and avoid turning it into a human story disguised as insects, but there may be some modifications to suit the needs of the novel. Hope you all enjoy it!
