So I'm a Spider, So What?, Vol. 6

De: Okina Baba, Tsukasa Kiryu, Jenny McKeon McKeon - translator

Narrado por: Caitlin Kelly

I-i-it’s not like a spider needs friends!I did it! I’m finally an Arachne!...Aaand things already aren’t going the way I thought they would. I’m inexplicably on a road trip with the Demon Lord, a reincarnated baby, and her troubled vampire guardian. I don’t really interact with them much, besides subjecting my reborn classmate to insane training, watching the party sneak off into villages, hearing about the delicious food they eat…Wait, hold up. Doesn’t it seem like I’m the only one who’s being left out?!? W-w-well, the monsters up here taste delicious, so whatever! Sniff, sniff. I wonder if my other brains are having a better time… What are they even up to?

worth it

I watched the anime and got tired of waiting. I wasn't disapointed. I will likly check out the rest after this.

loved it

loved it and can't wait for the next volume. it's gonna be entertaining for sure.

My Favorite So Far

This was a great one for me because it started to cover material not in the anime and also filled in the middle of the story a bit. We see the beginning of "White" and how the others around her see her. Lots of fun.

Continues to be Great

This series remains one of my favorites for just a fun listen. Quality of content remains high.

another splendid sequel

this book has continued the magnificent writing from previous books, especially with the lack of Shun and his future PoV plot line. the voice acting is as magnificent as always and even though no major jumps in power or revelations in world backstory happened, it still felt complete and incredibly engaging.

Fun view of different perspectives

Loved the whole naked adventure bit with the old man :) and it was really nice to see wakaba talk more

Way too much non-Kumoko stuff happening

I'll start out with the most important thing: Caitlin Kelly is still a genius as a narrator. I wish she narrated more stuff I'm interested in. Also, the primary issue with the earlier books, the super long appraisal readouts, is much less present in this book, as there just isn't much combat.

Ok, now that the well-deserved praise is out of the way: After the main side storyline in the earlier books finally ended in book 5 I was like "yay, now we should get more than 50% of the books from the spider's POV! There are 28 chapters, and only 5 (!!!!!) are spider POV chapters! It's especially bad in the middle, where there's a 3 hour stretch (11 chapters!) with nary a spider to be found.

All that aside, the first time I listened to this, I really enjoyed all the side character POVs, I thought they were much more interesting than Shun and his annoying friends, but I'm here for Kumoko, and when I listened for the second time I had much less interest in Ronandt and Aurel and even the vampire buddies. They're super important and progress the story just as much as the main chapters, but it feels like I'm eating my vegetables during these chapters, while Kumoko is somehow both the steak and also the pie for dessert. And the overall world and story is still super interesting, so I really hope the next book is more spiderful.

Favorite so far

So far this is definitely my favorite. But have not finished the series yet so this could change. So on to the next one.

loved it

I also just want more. voice acting was great, and the story was good. my only gripe is that the next one is not yet out on audible

Story is brilliant, narration takes it to next level!

The story is fun and I absolutely love the main characters of the story. But the narration is so great it makes everything come alive. Looking forward to next volume!
