Hi there, can you tell me what chapters on the WN are the volume 4, i mean for start to read from that on going, if the rest is similar i dont see the point of start again... thanks :3

I just checked and the meeting with (vol 4 spoiler)
is on WN chapter 160, if you finished that volume in LN you should be able to continue from there. However, I would strongly recommend to continue with the LN, as it is significantly better from a writing standpoint: many WN chapters read like cliff notes that the author expanded into proper chapters in the LN, and the entirely new plot points especially in LNs 5, 7 and 10 are really good imho, you'd miss a lot there.


Ok got it, reas from chapter 160 and ongoing, but not to read better cuz is not as good hahhaha , thanks for the info, now im in page 50 of volumen 5 , i have been enjoying this so much, thanks for not giving me spoilers

This fandlm is so mature with that, i been spoiled to no more in other fandoms when i asked simple questions hahah

I like this anime so much, introduce me to a good isekai, simple cuz is far from the cliches :3

Fandoms are literally databases of information about series. Rather than asking if you'll see spoilers, you should expect the whole fandom to be spoilers. It's more abnormal to go out of your way their way to put up spoiler tags everywhere.
Kumo-wiki's faded spoilers might be useful for some but I point at, hover, and select text when I read so accidentally passing over and revealing spoilers on accident is definitely a concern.

Now let me point something out. Asking questions = asking for spoilers (answers).
Unless something should have been told to you (based on anime arc being further than the reveal in the WN/LN/manga), it is a spoiler. This is especially true for the Kumo series because every single piece of information matters.
Baba Okina-sensei-sama is a master of information manipulation. Every single reveal either confirms your own suspicions or flips the chessboard and makes you start from square-1 again. I actually expect the anime to be similar since she's staff for the anime as well.
This means anything that is said about the series that hasn't been put in the anime is literally a spoiler, even if it was released before this point in the WN, LN, or manga.

I think he meant fandom as comunity not the website.
And to be fair he has a point. Most of the spoiler in these disussion are properly tagged and most users that don't use the spoiler tag are manga readers which is funny because the manga cut most of the plot so they don't know anything major.

Hmm... can't pinpoint if Kumoko is ''good'' or not then. Well she wants to save the world, and the titles mess her up when fighting guess she is on greyish area... let's see
Kumoko is neither good nor evil.
She's not going out of her way to help people. not good
She's not going out of her way to harm others for her own benefits. not evil
Let's end the discussion about Kumoko's alignment here. You'll learn more about Kumoko in the episodes to come. Judge after you learn everything!

Ironically: Shun, good or evil
Shun (on Earth) didn't go out of his way to help Wakaba/Shinohara during the classroom bullying scene. not good or evil
Let's end the discussion about Shun's good or evil here. He's got the hero title now so surely he'll become good, right?

Hmm... Well I don't really care if she turns out to be good or not, as long as it makes sense I can't ask for more. I just wanted to know if I missed something to judge her caracter.

Regarding Shun, to be honest I don't really care for him... He seems to shounenish and I speculate he will turn out to be a douche... he seems like he will do shitty things but with self belief that he is doing the right thing.

I'm liking the story so far, my only grip is that somethings are not well explained... This is the second time I had questions.

The way she killed those 2 first hornets was hilarious and when she ora ora'd the third one so hard it exploded caught me off guard.

Can't wait for the roller-coaster ahead. That goes for both timelines. There have been many changes since the source material, so I look forward to seeing how much better it turns out. Fitting this would be about the half way mark. :D Somewhat sad a few events were skipped. Well, it gives viewers a reason to read at least.
Give me at least 5 minutes to modify my post before quoting me. (refreshing page advised)

It must be tough on Sclain forced to both take up the mantle of the hero while also leaving school and his friends as well. After being dumped that amount of knowledge as part of her evolution i think anyone would feel like Kumoko did. Still its quite curious to see the four brains all agree on one decision and work together to formulate a plan forward. So in a flash Shiraori wiped out Julius's party as well as the support forces behind him then how fearsome. Using old style animation to show Kumoko's agility sure was fun. She sure made short work of the hive though. Overall an interesting ep that showcased Schlain's doubts as well as his determination to avenge his brother while also showing well Kumoko's newfound desire to get stronger in order to save the world. Looking forward to seeing her fight with the boss.

Things are looking dire... didn't expect they drop that much Taboo info at the beginning but since it was so fast I think of it as foreshadowing, not really spoiler. It's not like they explained it thoroughly (that will probably need an episode or arc of its own)

Looking forward to Fei's Evolution (she's actually my favorite character from the human's side). I read the WN years ago so these changes and new development are a very welcome.

White Demon Commander is beautiful.

Finally my OTP is revealed

Earth Dragon preparation, after the snake's quick defeat it is clearly needed.
Dragon Girl back in an egg about to evolve after forming a pact with Hero.
So Rot White Girl.... not enough information yet to say for sure who she is, but I have my suspicions.
“I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.”

So
Strolling through the comments.
Most say that the time she gained the new magic, was about a short time ago.
But, the story told during the flashback was from nearly 15 years ago.
So, that said, is there a significant time difference?
Where she lives in the past and the humans in the future?
I've not read the novels yet, so bare that in mind.

Also, at time of posting, I'm on Episode 12 of the Sub series.

I still don't quite understand this episode as the recap is happening;

So kumo is the monster that fought the sorcerer 15 years ago? How come kumo looked nothing like the small spider she is?

Well that confirms it. That was MC that took out the humans. That means she's really powerful and decently big now. I thought she was still tiny cause of the last comparison we had of her running away from the humans. Its probably cause the monsters have been so big and power that I thought she was relatively weak still. But in terms of the world of humans she must be OP now.

The whole time difference thing is really messing with me though haha. So it would seem the MC is way in the past in comparison to the human side so events happening for her are stuff that happened way in the past.

This is stupid! I had a grain of hope that I was mislead, but now it's 100% certain. Kumiko really killed those humans. Why? That doesn't make SENSE at all!

Did the show forget that Kumiko is also a human? Since when does she treat humans as random NPC's she can just kill without remorse? It was like 2nd or 3rd time she had met actual humans and this time she was obviously far superior than all of them combined, so why not try to negotiate or AT LEAST web them???? Why go for insta-kills. Wtf was that?!!!

This was a retarded development made for the sake of "kumiko is an OP badass monster". And all the explanation we get is "I did it for self defense"??? That's bullshit! Humans were the ones defending in this case and Kumiko was never in any danger from the soldiers. So, what gives?! Fuck this shit!

Do you remember the whole "Skill are bad" that Sensei keep saying?
Well, this is the reason. There're certain skills and titles that can corrupt the mind of the holder, the ruler skills (Pride, Perseverance, Wisdom, etc), the anger class skills and titles likes Mercieles (that Kumoko also has).

The problem is that Kumoko doesn't know this and she has been picking up skills as if they were candies.

Hmm... I do but I remember someone spoiling in the comments that
. Anyways. I don't remember her saying WHY exactly.

Hmmm... Anime fails to explain the downsides though. Kumiko doesn't seem delusional or mind-corrupted to me. That's why her slaughtering humans as if some insects was really random. Heck, she shows empathy towards the earth dragon, but goes on a murder spree when humans clearly tried to defend themselves from her and are afraid of her! In the next episode she seems to want to avoid killing humans and FULLY understands how fearful humans are, therefor she decides not to go to the nearby human village - in her current form. So, wtf happened to her back in the cave? To me it seemed as cheap as her "I did it in self defense" bullshit explanation. I think the author just wanted to present her as a terrifying and op monster and completely changed the character for this reason.
Skills she chooses sound eerie and suspicious, but we never get an explanation that she loses a sense of empathy or loses "humanity" as a result - I mean, was there ever any viable hint to that? She's been killing monsters and "animals" all this time, and finally met intelligent beings - humans, and that's how she treats them? Heck, she could simply leave lol. She behaved too much like a mindless angry NPC that doesn't stop their attack unless killed or you kill it. That's not the MC I'm used to watching!

I haven't read the source, but to me it still didn't look like her mind was corrupted or something... She's still smiling and cheerful and shit, so it is confusing at best to why she'd do something so drastic!

Some very interesting foreshadowing at the beginning with taboo. Too bad we probably won't get much more info about taboo for a really long time.

So the person who killed Julius might be the 10th commander? Maybe?

I'm so hyped for this next fight with Araba!

haha at the religious freaks who are anti-taboo when all they're really doing is restricting information and knowledge. typical

Love how Kumoko can now obliterate weaker enemies whom she in the first few episodes had trouble with, but not strong enough...time to show why she has earned herself the dragon slayer title by slaying Araba!

When Kumoko's Taboo reached Level 10, she said that it dumped information to her. The information of origin of world. Maybe the Administrators are aliens!? And maybe the magic which everyone in the world (MA Power was what it was called) is actually just Scientific Technology!?

It's Amazing, also i think it's very underappreciated i mean i suppose people don't think that i would be great cause of the whole spider thing BUT YOUR WRONG its one of my favourite anime out there and I'm really begging for a season 2 which i don't often feel that way when there hasn't been any response on one but for this one im literally going to lose it if they say there's no season 2.
