What a treat to see a story, where the clan is not only happy to have the protagonist, but there isn't any constant misunderstanding drama between the protagonist and the love interest.
I hope the author doesn't turn this one into another story of "Evil guy is threatening you. After defeating Evil Guy, we show you how he actually worked for Evil Guy 2 who now has to be in the story, so that we can reveal Evil Guy 3 who is actually the bad guy in this tory."
Also, I like how the protagonist goes "disgusting old man" mode on insects.

yeah, it's an interesting concept. i like the idea of a main character who specializes in one ultra specific thing that makes him valuable in a world where it'd be useful, but hated or laughed at for in his original world.
unfortunately, the author fell down the common trope of making every other character---besides the mc---inexplicably incompetent. Instead of being capable problem-solvers like they should be given their status as high-ranking members of a major clan, they stand around clueless in basically every scenario until the MC steps in with a painfully obvious solution, just for the author to have everyone around him shower him with praise as a once-in-a-century genius.
it's the worst part of these stories, they can't create actual character depth within their main character, so they dumb down every other character around him to make him seem important. any satisfaction i got from the story's intriguing concept immediately vanished the second i realized that.
