How to hide a huge twist in plain sight 101:

Put it in the first chapter as an afterthought.

 

[MPnoir]

Didn't think i would see Descartes in a Monster Girl manga lol

 

[wolfeng]

Seriously, if you have to write that Nai Wa means "No way" then just translate properly...
Things that have a proper translation have no reason to not be translated, it just feels weird reading it like this.

 

[GhGod]

Ok this is weird. I am a bit scared of spiders but this manga brings so much fun and cuteness to something I originally hate, a lot. A fresh wind I guess

 

[SovietWeeb]

@wolfeng
Except that is an iconic part of the character. It's a lot less funny with her saying "No Way"

 

[SovietWeeb]

This is probably my 4th or 5th time reading this again. I just realized that they pretty much spoil one of the biggest surprises of the story

Spoiler

With what happened to the MC as to why she is a spider now. If you go back and look you should figure it out.

 

[botallo]

cogito ergo sum...unexpected

[somaanggoro]

@unusedtrack3 I don't know whether you're the translator or merely someone who happened to upload this chapter, but the translator seems to have frequent trouble discerning when to use "are" instead of "is."

As a reminder, when the noun is singular, you use "is" and when it's plural, you use "are." This is basic English grammar.

Page 14: Should be written "Aren't those human footprints?" Since "footprints" is plural, you say "aren't those" whereas if it was just one footprint, you'd say "Isn't that a human footprint?"

Page 16: Should be "There are just too many questions I want answered." (There are questions, not there is questions. The word "questions" is plural.)

Page 17: "Your remaing skill points are: 0." (You use "are" because the word "points" is plural.)

Page 21: Again, "footprints" is in the plural form so it should be written as, "Right now, the only information I have to go on are those footprints."

Same page, top left panel: "Areas" is plural, so it should state: "They should lead to areas with people, which are less likely to have monsters. (Those areas are less likely to have monsters.) This can actually be written using "is" if you simply change "areas" to "an area" so that it states: "... they should lead to an area with people, which is less likely to have monsters." (That area is less likely to have monsters.)

Middle left: "It would be good if I could scavenge the leftovers from what humans have hunted."

Page 22: For the third time, "footprints" is a plural word, so "There are a lot of them here."


It's not just the grammar at issue, the phrasing is also really awkward at times, in particular on pages 18 & 19. It's not quite Engrish, but it's close.

How kafkaesque.

@Sola
All Kumo chapters uploaded by me are from Batoto.

 

[MaruchanMan]

I'm scared of spiders, but i gotta say those are the cutest spiders i've ever seen

 

[Chumbo]

So, this is the spider version of the Slime manga/Light Novel?

 

[CalamityCallout]

OOF wasting all your skill points like that

 

[PartialPotato]

Spider isekai eh? Now this is something I can get behind.

 

[meijune]

[0takuDragonSlayer]

Something tells me this chick hasn’t played many RPG’s if that’s the first thing she blows all her skill points onLOL! This is going to be one fun ride
