I absolutely adored this!
Rin, the protagonist, has an amazingly distinct voice that I loved reading. Their humor and sarcasm frequently made me laugh, and I loved that despite their cynicism they were not an ass about it.
The plot was great and very unique, features aliens and, well, werecockroaches, and I loved the slowly developing relationship between Rin and their new flatmates.
All of the characters we meet are interesting and fun to encounter, always leaving me eager to learn more about them, and I loved how diverse the entire cast is! Various queer rep, POC and disabilities are casually implemented into Werecockroach, starting with Rin, who is non-binary, aromantic and asexual, brown, dyslexic and has hidden hearing loss and tinnitus.
I enjoyed this novella greatly and recommend it highly, please don't let the title or cover scare you away!
I have a pretty intense phobia when it comes to various crawlies (part of why I challenged myself to read this, aside from the a-spec rep) , and I had no problems reading this - in fact, all roaches featured in this were quite adorable!
