the fights actually have weight and tension, the setting is pretty unique, and the pacing and general plot actually feel thought out and believable. For what it is I'd actually give it a 9.7 as it's almost perfect at transcending the genres clichés but worried atm how the plot and tone will continue from ch.50 on as it's beginning to reach a point where it can no longer do so.

grotesque but somehow cute as well? Can't believe someone as scared of bugs as me would actually read 42 chapters of a story starring a cannibalistic spider. It helps that she resembles Pikachu somehow....

I've learned to just scroll past all the information-spew about her level-ups, but that problem aside.... I'm still sad that it's taking such a long time for any real plot to take place. The wider world-building isn't happening as quickly as I'd like it too since the MC is trapped in a monster dungeon for the most part.

To be honest, I also expected to see her emotionally struggle more with becoming a monster spider whose only routine is the endless cycle where she has to hide-run-ambush prey-eat-sleep-grow stronger. The intense spectrum of guilt, self-hatred, loss, nostalgia, anger, and despair is kind of glossed over in favor of "let's get more exp and power up yeehaw!" I feel like Tokyo Ghoul had a better depiction of the mental breakdown of a normal human suddenly turning into a flesh-eating monster.

There's a new skill gained every page, which really detracts from the story. I don't know where this trend came from, but I wish it would stop. Reading page after page of every irrelevant skill-gain is quite annoying after a short while.

That said, I've managed to read every currently released chapter, and it's still entertaining! As long as you either enjoy the skill-talk, or manage to read past it, it's a fun little manga with interesting battles. I like how the fights are almost always with her life on the line and interesting developments along the way. Plus, it's an isekai where the MC is reincarnated as a spider, I enjoy the twist. It's still a bit too basic though, so I can't rate it higher than 6.

After a while of reading of the spider MC killing the monster of the day it's just repetitive. Yeah there were some good fights, like the one against the monkeys but at the same time I get the feeling the mangaka goes overboard all the time, the little spider survives in situations where all logic say she shouldn't and magically heals instantly after. Also, after a while there is more and more of the little spider acting cute in different type of attires and breaking the 4th wall trying to be funny, and it's not funny at all.
Other than that, read @imercenary post on the novel, he sums it pretty well.

I honestly liked the story, and it has really good art. However, the main character gains so many levels, skills, and titles throughout each chapter and the author presents EVERY SINGLE ONE as a pop-up window! I want to read the story; not a bunch of superficial messages about a skill going up one level. It really hurt the experience for me.

There are plenty of series about being reincarnated in a fantasy world, and a lot of them seem to boil down to an overpowered MC that almost becomes cringeworthy to watch. This series stand out in that the MC is born as a spider monster, not a person, and she starts off as a very weak monster and you can slowly see her progress not because of some out of place super power, but because she has the intelligence to utilize what advantages she has. There are also plenty of setbacks and its always made clear that despite her progress, she's still a small fry in a big ocean, makes the story more tense as you never know if she will succeed or not in any given engagement.

i've been on this website for years now but after reading this manga through this site's recommendation i couldn't help but create an account to express how great this manga and novel are.
The fast pace of the manga put me off a little bit but that's mostly personal opinion. Art style is minimalist enough to be very easy to digest, but still enough to convey the right emotions. The story, although with an overused concept of reincarnation, still manages to keep fresh and engaging. The main character is it's own and is carefully developed from what i've read so far (12 chapters). And to top it all off the timing is outstanding, both with the comedy and the more serious moments.

This thing really startled me (and semi-grossed me out). The heroine is reborn as a spider. You might thing that would be just kind of icky, but it's WHERE she's reborn as a spider that makes this great. She has to face one danger after another, discovering her abilities and character in the process. And the dangers are very serious, and creatively conceived and drawn too. It's so good and frightening that I had to put it aside for a day just to recover from the constant recurring suspense.

Considering the level of suspense generated, the looming grossness of the dangerous creatures which menace the spider-heroine, and the considerable grossness of her herself, coupled with lots of surprising comedy sprinkled in (largely thanks to great drawing), this this manga just can't be beat. I look forward to many more episodes.

Only read 3 chapters and obviously the manga isn't as detailed as the novel but so far it's really good. The art is very cutsy which makes some of the scenes in the chapter pretty funny but it can also turn pretty horrifying as well like when she starts eating another spider. The cutsy art didn't look so cutsy after that ahahaha
