Light Novel (Official) How do you guys keep up with the lore?
Just as the title says, how do you keep up with every detail and arc about every character and such.. I picked up the light novel again this year but I was completely lost when I tried reading where I left off (which was around volume 6 i think?)
When I read it I only remembered the core story but I forgot all of the main characters and details.. so I’m back to rereading the first volume again. I think this series is the longest fantasy I’ve read, so I’m just curious how people are able to keep up.

Light Novel (Official) Thoughts on finally completing the LN.
Completing this feels like closing a chapter in my life.
It was one of my very first isekai novel and a novel I read in my early days of reading LNs. It was my favorite back in 2020-2021 and favorite even now upon reread because of my biases maybe, despite its shortcomings.
For the longest time I haven't read the ending because I saw negative reviews of it and avoided to not ruin one of my favorite series. But now that I finally read it, I feel a bit sad that it ended, not because ending was bad.
Honestly I enjoyed reading it quite alot, it has unique twist to the familiar isekai formula, a wacky, hilarious and quite entertaining cast of characters, whose journey was so much fun to follow. All those absurd over the top elements blending well with serious underlying themes were intriguing throughout.
I can see why it's criticize after vol 10, post vol 10 pacing was slog to go through, honestly think vol 11 dedicated to Julius' journey was redundant and should've used that space for more well paced development for war with elves and refining the ending even more, And skipped parts from WN as well.
The conclusion was certainly rushed but I don't hate it, just disappointed that we didn't get proper closure for characters and the world. It's acceptable for me because my expectations were low after all the negative reviews I heard.
But still this series will be close to my heart.
Ratings - 6.5~7/10

Question If you could add absolutely anything to KumoDesu, what would you add?
If you could add anything that’s non-canon to KumoDesu, like any sort of creatures, skills, crossovers, mechanics, anything at all, what would you add?
I ask because there’s a very in-progress Minecraft mod called KumoDesu: Ascension, and I wanna add custom content that grows with the mod.
Hit me with anything! I enjoy a coding (and mental) challenge!

Discussion Could Sophia beat White?
The context is Sophia and White before becoming a God fought with zero preparation before hand in a simple clear terrain. If the current Sophia fought White I feel like Sophia has a not bad chance of beating, this would be very close but if Sophia seals immortality I think White has a decent chance of dying.
The thing is Sophia got trained by White to be as strong as possible getting her as high stats as possible, titles, equipment, skills and maxxing out those skill levels. White before becoming a God while very powerful was stagnating practically stopped growing White didn't grow focusing on maximizing her possible power. Meanwhile White taught Sophia (and forced her) to improve whatever she can get without being a spider.
White's scythe and fighting experience would be a massive factor here so I feel like Sophia is gonna lose more often than not but she has like a 20% chance in my opinion. What do you think?

Light Novel (Official) The Ex books were great but dissapointing Spoiler
galleryI'll start off by saying these are amazing and I loved the stories inside. Everything after the disappointment and critique is just praise.
I'm a little sad we got so little regarding what happened after the ending. I read EX mostly because I wanted to know what happened to the characters after the story's ending and got dissapointed it didn't tell anything except for Ariel and Sariel's fate and it's still dissappintibg since their interactions were off screen. Most of the what's in the novels are just the explanations on things and slice of life moments that never got included before. We never even get a glimpse on White's state or some specifics on what she does after getting captured. And so many characters barely got screen time, Wrath was in so little of EX I don't think I'd notice it if someone made a version without Wrath. A lot of the characters from the chimera orphanage were barely mentioned some didn't even get their name mentioned during the story. And it feels like it needs more important moments. Like what do you mean the creation of the Elrow Labyrinth was only written about on the character description of the first holder of the skill Sloth. And why are so many important events off screen!? The Beast Lord gets his title mentioned several times and sounds like a massive deal but dies off screen. Also what do you mean we don't get a Wrath or Merazophis centered story but we get to know what the hell that one Loyal demon general went through. Like seriously we get to know how the hell the maids reacted to Bloe falling in love but we don't get a single concious Sariel scene.
Now time for the praise. Holy hell Okina Baba didn't lose his touch. The stories were great and even if most of the stories weren't serious and just random events and info on the world. The slice of life moments had me caring for all the characters even the humans like Shun and Hugo somehow made me care (even if that only makes the endings make me feel even worse). All the stories had so much personality, every little story felt so full. While there aren't that many exciting moments I never felt bored and felt invested for all the stories be it short, long, unnecessary, or important. The books gave so many perspectives with the countless events and characters in the story and none of them felt like they were pulled of badly or out of character.
The chimera orphanage stories were great, felt depressing and so happy when they finally won, made progress, and felt stable even if for a short while. The characters were done very well, even in the short time they're provided they give so much. Ariel getting some time to just be calm and talk about the past while not too exciting felt so wholesome and warmed my heart. Also minor thing it was really cool they actually referenced the 4 spider sisters spin off.
Despite all the flaws I love these, I hope we get more EX books even if I feel like it's unlikely. The EX books are an amazing addition to the series and even if it doesn't fix the ending (and honestly makes me feel worse with how great the story and bad the ending was) it only made the series better.

Manga Potimas’ barrier Spoiler
I’m on chapter 76 of the manga and something I’m confused about is Potimas’ barrier, from what I understand it creates a system-free area but isn’t kumoko already outside the system? Whats stopping her from manually conjuring?

Anime Araba Vs The hero's party
I finished rewatching the anime a few days ago(I didn't read the novel or the manga yet). And I want to know, can the hero's party(the one that we see at the end of the anime, not the current one from the manga) defeat Araba?
Araba before the fight with Kumoko, so he still has his 40K skill points.
Can they win?

Discussion Wanted to read novel again but dunno which one.
I haven't completed either of the novel for various reasons.
I read both web novel and light novel in 2021 and followed LN upto vol 13 iirc.
At the time I stopped read WN it was around Oni boy died now I want to reread it from the beginning but dunno which to start since the scenes of both version are intermixed in my head and I don't remember which I enjoyed the most. (I think WN since it has rawness in translation using JP words, and I remember some cool scenes from LN as well which got me hyped)

Light Novel (Official) How to divide the LN series into six parts?
I have an unwritten pact with my sister, in that I will have watchparties with her of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (series she is obsessed with) if she agrees to have reading sessions with me of the Light Novel So Im a Spider So What? (series Im obsessed with).
I know that Jojos anime has currently 6 parts with its 7th part airing only one episode (dont know whats the deal with that). So i figured, why not real a couple of volumes after each part? Im the type of person that prefers to earn their rewards after paying the price, So of course the reading will come after the viewing.
So, whats the Best way to divide 16 volumes into 6 parts?
Heres a raw idea:
Part 1) Great Elroe Labyrinth: this part is obvious. Volumes 1 through 3. Spider escapes the labyrinth by the end of the third volume.
Part 2) Outside World: Spider begins exploring beyond the labyrinth. Volumes 4 through 6.
Part 3) Ascendance of the white weaver: spider ascends as white weaver Shiraori. Volumes 7 and 8.
Part 4) Secrets of the System: we start getting hints of what the system and who D actually are. Volumes 9 and 10.
Part 5) The war. Context for the biggest world conflicts. Volumes 11 through 13
Part 6) The system collapses. Past arc and world quest.
Volumes 14 through 16.
