Original Title : 蜘蛛ですが、なにか？
Alternative Title: Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? (So I'm a spider, what about it?)
Author: Baba Okina (馬場翁)
*mod snip*

Synopsis: Basically another whole class reincarnated in a fantasy world story, with one tiny little difference. MC is reborn as a spider and it's survival of the fittest from the get go. She proceeds to gain skills, evolve, ect. The story is interspersed with side stories every 5 chapters to give the world background and check out what the classmates are doing. It's a fun little series with a good mix of comedy and serious tones.

How about we ask a mod to move all the related post over here?

Sounds better at least, so I'll switch it.

The timeline is a bit confusing in this series. It initially seems like Kumoko is born much later than the others, with the sides occurring at the same time in different places. Now we know that's not the case because of the stolen silk, but the exact time difference is up for debate. She's at least as old as the others though, which means when they do find her(or she finds them as the case may be) she's going to really OP compared to them. It also means she probably spends years in the labyrinth, so I'm expecting time skips once she stops leveling so damn fast.

the girl has a heart of steel, you think 10 years of entire solitude as a spider in a dark dungeon is going to affect her?

[Amuris]

I don't know. I know her type of gamer, same as myself. Hermits can go years without saying a word to anyone and it wouldn't feel any different. She'll be fine as long as she has something good to grind.

you know what's funny the heroes scarf is actually made from her web.
a scarf he got from hisa scarf that she knited
so hero unknowingly treasures the web of what is to be the future Demon Lord
she can literally choke him out at any point in time

[obnuchious]

question; how big of a spider is she????

[cabman11]

1 meter long (3 feet) as of latest evolution.
Soooooooo.....big spider

[obnuchious]

will she become something like this?

That's not the plan at any rate. Kumoko favors the assassination and magic approach, plus she needs to be small enough to leave the labyrinth when she's ready. Current plan seems to be to become an arachne. She's already seen the evolution tree and it's a possibility at least.

Her mother is a 30 meter long giant spider though, so it looks pretty close to that pic.

ah......k . . .

does Mommy knows her kiddie is not from that world???

[kazzuya]

Does she ever gained a shape-shifting skill or a skill to turn into human?
After all it is quite popular for a story that has a monster MC to gained such skill. (Slime tensei monogatari, Tensei Shitara Slime, Re:Monster, Spirit Migration etc.)

Uhhh, she may be mommy but she's still a spider. Moments after being born she eats one of her children as a snack. Not a parenting figure, that.

The story has Kumoko fleeing and figuring things out on her own. The mother is only encountered again way later blasting some offending monster into dust and unintentionally scaring some caution back into the protagonist.

not yet but its coming up soon when she falls in tuna wrap me in truly becomes the spider demon lord. and she's been in the dungeon for apparently 10 year so far. (we get glimpses of the outside world because some of her other classmates reincarnated and they are actually cheats)(she worked her way to the truth cheat and is going to become the true spider demon lord and she's also on her way to Buddhist godhood aka Buddhahood)

now now, don't say that. I've known a few women I wish were smart enough to eat a few of their kids. I'm sure her only regret in the end will be that Kumoko wasn't one of her snacks.

is she the only one that's nonhuman?
