Her Majesty's Swarm

女王陛下の異世界戦略〈ストラテジー〉

Joou Heika no Isekai Strategy

4 volumes

2018 – present

The protagonist is a college student who loves playing as the evil-aligned Arachnea faction in her favorite real-time strategy game. One day, she is transported to a world resembling the game’s setting, and her body has become that of a fourteen-year-old girl. Although some details differ from the game, one thing remains unchanged: she is the ruler of the Arachnea. The insects under her command, called the Swarm, revere her and urge her to guide them to triumph. To survive, she builds up her Swarm and establishes friendly ties with the elves living in the neighboring forest. However, when a slaver passing through the forest kills one of her Swarm members, and the nearby kingdom’s knights torch the elven village and slaughter its inhabitants, she readies her counteroffensives under the banner of vengeance. Yet revenge is merely a pretext for launching assaults on the nations of this world. Her leadership is both skilled and harsh, as befits someone who has played the game in real life.
