The one thing that didn’t know it’s the villain

    Actually the Qu are much smaller because:

    1. Fought a few in my battle against them in the distant galaxy
    2. In the video for the Thai release of the book, Kosemen gives an illustration of how the average Qu is sized next to a human and its barely big as half the body

    It's pretty cool how a bunch of oversized dragonflies took over the galaxy in a few thousand years

    I’m aware of that illustration but I think it’s much more interesting if the Qu have no set size and can either be “oversized dragonflies” as you put it or towering behemoths. They are masters of genetic manipulation so there’s no need for them to have restrictions really.

    The qu can just size itself to any thing it likes

    Yeah, there's also this one post where the author's verifies they're kaiju sized, but I just chose the Thai one because its the latest one(I think so). But I agree with you, it would be pretty cool if the Qu were like 10 or 15 foot long. They are masters of genetic manipulation and nanotechnology so they could theoretically shift their size instantly

    Size of the organism does not correlate to that organism’s power/technological advancement. 

    Although it is funny to think of some bird-sized dragonflies machine gunning down some humans.

    They did seem to use some kind of gun like machinery in the image of them with the Vitruvian man

    Either that is a star person gun, or it is their own

    But guns of any kind kind of seem inefficient to a species as advanced as them

    Maybe it isn’t a gun.

    Okay, but how tall is an "Asteromorph God" compared to a Homo sapiens?

    CM Kosemen has mentioned that gravitals are minimum house sized or larger. And because of this one image of the AsteromorphGod over the Gravital:

    We can come to the conclusion that they too are house sized

    can confirm as an AteromorphGod, we are in fact that large ;)

    Are the Qu "Kaiju" sized?

    This might be a good size estimate: https://www.deviantart.com/vanga-vangog/art/Evolution-changes-people-All-Tomorrows-813037716

    Or if you want a truly giant being: https://www.reddit.com/r/AllTomorrows/comments/oxyssl/welcome_back/

    Well ahctually-- there's no set size for them. The author has stated that Qu are extremely variable, and that the specific scale image in question is not representative of the species as a whole. Some are bigger than a house as seen here
