This small review is based on the latest chapter I read ( chapter 15 ) , might contain some spoilers but nothing serious .

Story : How do you feel life will be like in spiders perspective ? NAI WA !! , our heroine was just having a normal day in school , when SUDDENLY THERE WAS A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX !....just kidding ,but suddenly something strange happened, everyone in the class room including Kumoko started "vaporizing" , and then , Kumoko woke up thinking she got abducted , since she felt as if she was confined in a small bag.

Little does she know ... until she finally broke free, to find that was she broke from was an egg, SHE TURNED INTO A SMALL SPOODER ! the cutest spider your eyes will ever witness that is ! and she finds that the world she is in now is different from the one she used to be in, a world with some RPG elements, and that brings us to the art !

Art: the artiest did an amazing job , seriously , how many people can turn a "NOPE" material into the cutest thing ever ? along the dungeon, Kumoko will meet new creatures that she will have to survive, this is no longer the easy life of a high school girl, in order to survive she will have to hunt while exploring this weird dungeon she found herself in, so the artiest will introduce lots of weird, usually CREEPY creatures, done very well indeed.

Characters : Kumoko will probably be only spider that you will care so much about in your life, she's just SO adorable ! and the whole story until now is focused on her.

Overall : While lots of other Mangas used the "RPG world" thing , Kumo desu ga, Nani ka did it differently , and that's why I give it 10/10, which is a score I give if I GENUINELY enjoyed watching or reading every second of an Anime or a Manga.

These days I feel like there are a lot of these monster POV/reincarnation manga coming out. I would call this one a more realistic approach of someone level grinding their way up. Unlike being unreasonably overpowered from the get go, Kumo thinks through her situations in a logical way and makes decisions with the best of her existing abilities in order to adapt and survive. In the process she gets beat up, finds herself in pain, and gets scared, and all with a touch of humor which I honestly found refreshing and relatable.

So far I am enjoying the series, but I am looking forward ... to seeing a larger overarching plot line manifest itself to add a bit of depth to the story.

Started out fine, I actually liked it a lot, but now that I have reread and got to the latest chapter, I now realize how much of a dumpster fire this manga is. I can't spoil anything, but it gets bad, I do not suggest this (not even mentioning how long it takes to update). The story, along with my enjoyment suddenly got lower, and lower, and lower. To the point where I have basically dropped it and started reading the light novel, that I do recommend. My biggest problem is that the story tension and the "danger" all disappear at a certain point, it ... is removed completely, I don't know what the hell they were thinking while working on the newest chapters, it's just flat out bad.
