Beings from another world started invading—about the size of ants.
I think the gate must have opened incorrectly.
Why Should We Pick This Up?
This is a highly refreshing take for those who enjoy portal and dungeon stories but are looking for an approach leaning heavily into absurd comedy, slice-of-life moments, and everyday routines. The premise breaks the classic trope of the hunter fighting desperately for survival against towering monsters; instead, the portal connecting to the other world opens in a corner of the protagonist's room, bringing with it waves of fearsome invaders who—due to a mix-up in scale or dimensions—are the size of mere ants. The novel’s true entertainment value lies in how it subverts the traditional power dynamics of urban fantasy. Events that would pose an apocalyptic threat to humanity in any other story become amusing domestic nuisances here, which the protagonist must resolve using common household items like flyswatters, aerosol sprays, or kitchen utensils. In a reversal of the norm, he effectively becomes an omnipotent being—a gigantic, unreachable deity to these tiny creatures. As the story progresses, the plot moves beyond simply clearing out interdimensional "pests" and evolves into a unique and comical form of coexistence. The protagonist ends up interacting with these fantasy beings on a miniature scale—including tiny magical creatures, mini-dragons that can barely spark, and even toy-sized humanoid characters that completely upend his apartment routine. The work seamlessly balances classic genre elements—reimagined—with pure comedy and the caretaking of these unexpected visitors. It is a light, fun, and fast-paced read, perfect for anyone looking to unwind with a humorous, domestic take on interdimensional invasions.
