It may just be me reading too many "round table demon/leaders meeting" that I can't get motivated with the recent chapters. I wanted to see our spider-girl in this conflict, not fuck-all demon leaders flexing with the whole planning part. There's a reason why it gets boring when your teacher is just reading from the god damned book.

I just hope it's me, but I feel like the author is trying to make the plot thicker (no pun intended) than it should.

Well, as long as he don't go retard maybe it's fine.

It gets complex but the plot is solid, just it does go a little too deep sometimes.

You guys should just read the WN/LN if you think the release interval is too slow. The plot is fantastic. Not too deep at all and the manga is doing a great representation

Yea, the way the illustrator draws humanoid characters kind of needs.. improvement. We're only 5 volumes in though so it'll be amazing to see how the illustrator progresses in his art skill.

@Bramia know what chapter of the light novel is relative to the latest manga release? wanna read the LN since the releases are so slow, but have no idea where i would start from.

EDIT:Just so anyone else who wants to move to the LN knows, after painstakingly searching, the current manga chapter lines up with the LN chapter 129. It was really confusing to find cause the LN didn't have the demon council interaction, which is what i was using to try and line them up.

NOOOOOOO~~! WHY DID A READ THIS SO DAMN FAST?!?! I hate waiting for new chapters grrr D:
Anyways.. >:
So far so great! I never thought that someone that hates spiders as much as me would come to like one soo much~! o:
The last couple of chapters were a bit confusing, but after doing some reading I understood what's going on and.. I obviously can't wait for the next chapter..! lol
One question though, If I were to start reading one of the novels, which one should I read? The WN or the LN? Which one is "better"?
I know the WN is ahead of the LN, but WNs tend to be a bit "messy".. Can someone that has, or is reading both of them tell me if there are any major differences between the two?

According to some LN readers, there are a few characters and little bits of the story that were added/changed, but I don't think it's very different overall.

By "messy", did you mean the writing or the translation? The writing is fine for me, but the translation of the earlier chapters, Turb0translation's TLs, were somehow a little unpolished, I think. There's another guy, blastron, who does translation of the earlier chapters. It's cleaner, but it hasn't caught up to where turb0 stopped and where the the later translator, in Raising the Dead, started yet. Raising the Dead has neat translations, and they update quickly whenever there is a new raw chapter up.

The LN currently has 9 volumes in Japan. YenPress only has 3 volumes so far, though, so I guess you wouldn't be reading that far ahead of the manga, unless you know how to read Japanese.
In my opinion, reading the WN should be better if you're REALLY craving more of the story because you can readily read it after a bit of searching. The LN, unfortunately-- you have to actually buy it since you won't find any chapters anywhere on the internet. You can find illustrations from the LN, though.
I checked, and the last chapter where we've seen our spider MC is chapter 128 in the WN.

Have fun reading, if you do start!

First of all, thank you for replying!
Oh~ by "messy" I meant both the writing and the translations, mostly the translations though. But I said that about web novels in general, I haven't read anything from Kumo's web novel just yet. :b
Hmm.. If the english version of the light novel is just a bit ahead of the manga theres is no point for me to read It really, so I'll be looking into the web novel. Also because my japanese reading skills are pretty nonexistent bad. lol
And I'll probably be reading It from the beginning, since the manga seems to have skipped some details and a bunch of side stories. :eek:
I'll take a look on the translation groups you mentioned. Thanks for saving me the trouble of searching for It! c:

I phrased It the way I did because I wasn't aware of what those details were, and I did not know that the side stories were that important either.
As I said, I haven't started reading the web novel yet, so I only knew that there were things left out of the manga, and that's all that I meant when I said that.
I did not, by any means, imply that the side stories and the details left out of the manga were of little importance. :u
Anyways.. Thank you for enlightening me. :x
