Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? - Ch. 71.1

[ghostwriter.123]

The spider arc was interesting and a worthwhile read but everything beyond that is dog shit (UFO anyone) and if the bitch vampire is one of the best characters ( how bad can the rest be in comparison oO) then I pity any soul who read the whole thing.

The UFO arc and a lot of the arcs after that have more interactions between Shiro and other characters in the story. The chapters that are from the perspectives of those other characters add a lot of context and background to the world and the story as a whole imo but the manga seems to have skipped all of those parts and seems to only focus on Shiro's side of the LN which sucks.

If you really hate the story as it is now you could just stop reading? Or read the WN (which you can easily find online) or LN and see if you like those more. If you decide to read the LN or WN you can skip the spider parts (since the manga already covered those) and read the stories from other characters povs till you get to the demon territory arcs

How long until she gets her powers back entirely?

Spoiler

She gets them back while staying at Balto's manor so she should get them back soon (maybe 5 chapters max)

 

[AMicrowave]

damn i forgot why she lost her power lol. Anyone pls explain to me

she became a god, so she can't use the system anymore

 

[Bramia]

Baba mostly skips the arc in the LN but you can read the full arc in the WN

Although WN sophia is a bit different the plot of the arc's mostly the same

Weird. I really don't remember a side story with a school arc. Well, I do recall such a thing happening, but not an actual arc. It's been too many years maybe

 

[Outflanks10]

I feel like the series is finally getting back on track.

Thanks for the translation aumakua

dog shit

Wait till the ending, that's where the real dog shit is.

So why are you still here? The spider arc's been done since forever.

FYI The official LN translation calls it "Conjuring" not "Sorcery", which fits more with the setting of Shiro becoming a god.

 

[Draggador]

The last page seems to be parodying a manga series which was axed in the middle of a magical fight scene long ago after suddenly switching to isekai genre from a completely unrelated one. I can't recall the title but that gets parodied quite a bit by other mangaka. If this series was axed, then someone would've quickly tagged this chapter as the "end". That tag is absent as of when i started typing this comment.

"our battle has only just begun!" is usually code for "the manga got cancelled and I couldn't think of an ending".

This isn't the end, is it? Or are they actually saying the line without irony, and it truly is the start of a new arc?

As a LN reader I suspect this might be a glib way of transitioning over to the other side of the story.

 

[KazutoKatsuragi]

It's a part 1 chapter, so it's definitely not the end. Stop being babies, lol.

 

[Valahuir]

Hold up, it becomes shit after this? Why? How!?

Spoiler

Spider is callious and quite willing to commit horrific acts for her goal and the vampire gets drunk on power while she's not being properly guided.

Them arriving at this mansion is basically the end of the travelling arc and start of the next arc. I don't remember if the line was used in the novels but I wouldn't be super surprised if it was. The manga has changed quite a bit things tho.

Spoiler: Sophia's School Days

Due all the training Shiraori put her through over the years, she quickly overshadows everyone else in academics and (unknowingly) uses the Charm skill to make all the boys fall for her!

A noble boy and girl try to undermine her, but instead indirectly caused them to turn against each other leading to the noble girl to be expelled and exiled from her family! Shiraori picks the two up for her new position as the Tenth Army Commander, while punishing Sophia with a curse that forces her to bow and refer to her as 'Master' (fuelling Sophia's masochist tendencies for Shiraori's attention!)

Spoiler: You got a thing wrong

Essentially the boy ends up falling for Sophia mega simp style and still pretty much worships her when she reveals she is a vampire and removes the charming. He begs her to turn him into a vampire. Then he joins the tenth army because Sophia joins it and his ex-fiance who got exiled is now a high ranking member there beats the living shit out of his. Sophia gives no real fucks about him. The girl isn't too happy about Sophia just showing up to get 2nd command but can't do much about it due to still being way weaker than Sophia despite getting White's training also, but on the plus side she gets to watch White bully Sophia frequently.

@aumakua thank you for the translations!🤗

 

[DerpySausage]

Please find a proofreader or use Grammarly on your script (ideally both). Rather a messy chapter grammar-wise. Thank you for your work.

I didn’t get that part wrong, I just mention it.

i hope she gets strong again soon, maybe an ellipse?

Because for better or worse, I don't drop something once I've started reading it, unless it reaches abysmal lows. This one isn't there yet. Maybe I'm foolishly optimistic, always hoping there still might be something worthwhile to come.
