manga will clearly face the problem when it is time to cover the Shun half of the story
I doubt mangaka ever thinking about covering that storyline. Like Wraith (oni-kun) storyline already was completly skipped, even if it take place in same time as Shiro and co adventure. And, well, Shun story worked only because it paralel to dungeon crawling.

A sentient and sapient spider. God forbid you ever run into someone smarter than you because they can use the exact same logic to invalidate your existence.
I mean, we thought it was a GIRL who turned into a monster spider and was trying to survive. And then it turns out it's just a spider—the whole point of the plot dies at that moment.

And thus, "stupid." One of the necessary components of intelligence is the ability to plan for the future; looking further ahead than the next immediate move is something that stupid people cannot do.
That doesn't really apply to D. Us puny mortals have to plan to survive whatever changes the future holds. But D will exist literally forever, infinitely. Change does not threaten her existence like it does to us, so change means little to her. Even when her slacking off catches up to her and she has to go back to work, it won't matter to her, because there will be another chance to start slacking off again some other time. And another, and another. Infinitely.

A future full of both infinite work and infinite leisure.

And therefore, both infinitely meaningless. So all that matters is now.

What you're really talking about is stupid people can't adapt to changing circumstances. Conditions in the future are different than now, therefore you must take action and change to adapt.

A god like D is not a human. What she had to adapt to is not vulnerability of any kind. Even if she gets caught, it is equally meaningless to both her and the beings chasing her, both are infinite and timeless. She will simply have another moment in the future to slack off. And another. And another. And another.

I don't think you appreciate what it means to win or lose, when your future is guaranteed to have an equally infinite number of wins and losses. There couldn't be a more alien being, when the one thing she has a guarantee of is the one thing us humans don't. And you're applying human logic to this?

Your inability to adapt to that circumstance, to see things outside the small paradigm of your own, marks who really is the stupid one here. And don't give me that she could fix things better than she already has if she could anyway. Do you take action for no reason and no meaningful gain as an "intelligent" person?

And as for Shiro, she certainly isn't smarter than D, if only because she hasn't existed long enough to appreciate the full extent of what is available to her (or not, because you're talking out of your ass as to what she's capable of). That too is a form of intelligence. She is, however, at least more intelligent than you are, because she's already realized all of the above about D and more. You're closer to a "spider" in the well than any of them, not able to see outside your own little world and applying your limited standards and analogies to something alien.

I miss the spider era, the art for her human form looks sooo eh

Also, pretty sure her emotions are being manipulated...

A SENTIENT and SAPIENT spider. What part of those two words are you failing to understand? How is she ANY lesser because her body was different at the start?

Let me put it this way: I am starting to feel like you also aren't worth existing. How does that make YOU feel? Reflect for once in your life.

And you were saying something about being smart, lol.
A spider that originally had no intelligence or sentience. What would be a nightmare for a girl is a stroke of luck for a house spider. So the story setup is thrown in the trash.

I'm honestly a little bit impressed and flattered that you wrote an essay for the sole purpose of insulting me. I really didn't think I was that important.

You're not. I don't insult you because you're worth something, you're not different from any scab I'd call out around here. Do you really think insulting an anonymous, faceless stranger on the internet implies I care or know enough about you to think you're standing out?

No, you're not. And you fully know that too.

Sorry about the essay by the way. Seeing as you didn't respond to anything of substance at all, did I use too many difficult words? Oh surely not. Not for an intelligent person like you, able to see and plan ahead, anticipate that mouthing off with such a flimsy level of understanding would invite criticism.

You're about as stupid as they come. Smarter folk would have either understood the original topic better, addressed my points and either conceded or rebut back, or just said nothing to my 'essay' if they thought it was a waste of time. Instead all you have is a cliche "you care so much" mockery that was last in vogue, oh, maybe 20 years ago.

And yes, I enjoy pointing that out, so don't worry Im not wasting time. It's all fair game anyway. You can insult the characters, the writing, and by association the readers, I can certainly put you in a box for that. I sure hope you respond, paragon of intelligence you are. I expect it will be something equally short, inane and devoid of any substance as your last.

Loads of smart people in this board lol.

Yeah... you're a fucking idiot alright. My bad, it was a waste of time even trying to communicate with you.
