<< EGG >>
---
It's an egg.
It's huge too.
--
This has to be some kind of monster egg.
It's not going to suddenly hatch on me, is it?
--
No, maybe before that happens..
--
An angry parent might come after me.
That'd be scary.
>>139052942
Well, for now...
---
Let's take this back to MY HOME.
I'll think about it there.
---
[Ten Minutes Earlier]
Aaaaahhh~
--
That was a nice nap.
It's so nice that I have a house now.
>>139053123
I caught something again.
I'm not that hungry yet...
But who knows when the next meal will come along?
---
When I get something to eat, I gotta eat it right away. Now let's see what we've got...
---
I CAUGHT A HUMAN!!
---
Ah, he noticed me.
---
He's really panicking now.
(( There's no real text to translate on this page. Just sfx. ))
>egg
I don't remember this from the WN, it's LN/manga extra on am I just retarded?
>>139053395
Aaahh! My house!
What're you doing, oiy!
---
Eh? I was wondering why you set a fire.
Don't tell me it was to burn the webbing off? You even set yourself on fire!
so cute
>>139054656
H-hey, are you really okay to move?
You're bleeding and covered in burns. You're gonna die!
---
Adventurers are amazing.
They can still run even in that condition.
--
Uwwah, now's not the time!
My house! My house! MY HOME!
---
Finally, I put the fire out.
>>139054312
It is in the LN andit has a PoV.
Kumoko doesn't get a break. How many homes do those evil humans burn?
>>139055101
Really amazing those adventures.
Remind me of old dude wizard.
So, anyone want to take bets on how much longer the WN's hiatus will be? I'm guessing another month.
>>139056007
Who knows, I don't mind the author focusing on the LN.
But having no translation for it hurts.
>>139056205
Currently she is writing another series on kakuyomu. One chapter there is about 4 Kumo chapters in length, so I don't really see her writing anything until that wraps up.
The only thing is if she focuses solely on the LN, the wait's going to be pretty long. She had at least 5 more LNs worth of material to revise.
>>139055101
If that adventurer would risk his life for this egg...
Then it has to be something very rare and valuable.
--
Maybe it's super delicious...!?
---
I don't really like eating bad tasting things like my sibling or that poison frog.
Now I got something tasty to eat!
---
OUCH!
---
Not bad. Not only is it big, it's also hard to crack!
>>139056771
However!
I'll show you my wisdom from being a former human!
---
Like this!
---
And this!
--
And this!
--
Now PULL!
>>139056324
Didn't even know about that. Escape Sheep Land? Funny name.
Next page is second best page of the chapter.
>>139056997
I gotta say, I'm impressed that Kumoko's character shines through visually. I wonder how the author will deal with Information-in-charge.
>>139056979
Supposedly it's a rip on Battle Royale. I don't believe anyone is translating it, but the reviews on the site make it seem good.
>>139056826
IT CUT THE ROCK IN HALF!
---
I guess there's now way I can cut into this, huh?
---
Hmm, I seem to recall...
---
There's an experiment where if you wrap a rope around a watermelon tightly a few hundred times...
Eventually the pressure will force it to break apart.
---
Should I try it?
>>139057496
Ooops, that's not rope. Change it to "rubber band" please.
>>139057496
>cutting a pointed rock in half
>not just sliding off
>>139057496
What is this egg anyway?
When I use appraisal, all it says is [EGG]. No idea what it is. I guess I can't tell at this level...
---
Hmm?
The level of appraisal...!?
---
If [Acid Resistance] leveled up when I took acid damage, then that means...
---
I can level up Appraisal by using it on things!
--
Let's try it! Appraisal!

I didn't save the raws, I was downloading one page at a time and translating them right away. And for some reason all of the image links on the site appears broken to me now. Is it working for anyone else? Or did someone save it all ahead of time?Can someone else upload the pages?

Next Update: April 5th
>>139060549
Is this weekly or monthly?
>>139060549
Did you finished already? Or is that just the text in the page?
>>139060630
Bi-weekly.
>>139060779
I see. But why 16 pages per chapter though? Is it the same with Demi-chan?
Thanks for translating! This is quite different from the WN.
>>139060888
Read the WN by turbo/blastron. At the rate the manga is going, it will take 5 years to just get up to where we currently are. That said, it is a pretty good complement to the WN.
>>139059439
The other series is supposedly a short thing to break her out of writers block. I dont think it will go on to long, as referenced here.>>139056007
>>139060549
Thank you for the translations! I'd call youWisdom-samabut it's too early.
>>139060549
Much thanks.
>>139061259
I'm already reading the WN though. I guess it's hard to adapt the WN to manga because of infodumps.
>>139061259
It is translated?
Any links?
>>139061259
Holy shit that earth dragon is rad as fuck.
I always pictured him being kind of brown and uninteresting.
>>139061479
It's a hodgepodge of translation attempts.
http://blastron01.tumblr.com/kumoko-contents
These are the most readable translations of the beginning, but don't go that far. Also, the skill names are vastly different from the other sets.
http://turb0translation.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
These include some of blastron's but go much further. Note these are machine translated, so they can be wonky (which takes a bit of getting used to). You can start with either blastron or turb0, but you'll need to read this eventually to catch up.
http://www.raisingthedead.ninja/current-j-z/kumo-desu-ga-nani-ka/
These pick up where turb0 left off. The quality of the translation picks up considerably here.
Note that the series is currently on hiatus, so you'll have to wait with the rest of us if you blow through it like I did.
>>139061516
Same here. I personally like all the art in the LN except kumoko's crab-like design.
>>139061857
Kumo's manga design is super perfect.
>>139062293Nah
>>139062381
I'm honestly impressed with her manga design. I didn't think they'd be able to put that much expression into a spider. I wonder what will happen whenshe evolves.
>>139061782
Turb0 is the original, then Blastron started re-translating from the beginning some time after that.
Personally I found turb0 unreadable. The newer translators are better but it still has that machine translated awkwardness on some chapters.
>>139062668
Anyone doing the LN?
>>139062668
Personally, I remember reading some of Turb0's work at ungodly hours in the night, without my brain working well enough to process how shittily it reads.
I guess that's why I've stuck with it all the way to the end.
>>139062668
turb0 would be vastly better if someone went through his translations and proofread them. That said, I think the quality of the story shines through the translation. Plus, at blastron's pace he won't reach the end of turb0 for another 2 years.
>>139062786
>>139062868
Don't get me wrong, I did the same thing. Then I read blastron's and I feel like someone who was blind and didn't realize he was blind.
>>139062739
I haven't heard of anyone.
>>139063098
Pretty accurate way of describing it. I feel bad that blastron is asked why he's doing it after every post.
>>139063142
They have some preliminary differences posted on animesuki. Supposedly, Vol 1has a dragon PoV.Beyond that, I haven't heard of any differences in content between the adaptations.
>>139060346
>I'll never get to ogle a muscular ossan fisherman
>It don't matter
>None of this matters
Goddamnit. Why didn't anyone tell me there's a better translation? I'm already at chapter 38. FUUUUUUUUCK
>>139063829
>already
38 is nothing. I reread it after I caught up and I still think it's worth it.
Besides the better version is extremely slow anyways so you can just keep on going to the end and reread it later.
>>139063597
damn, Katia has some huge Katias.
>>139063597
>That KatiaWould you /a/?
>>139063829
You get used to turb0 quickly. It's better to read through turb0 then get lost in the changes in skill names.
Also, don't skip the side stories!Even though 1/2 the people reading the series seem to skip the sidestories and get incredibly pissed about it later.
>>139064053
The cloak/scarf makes them look bigger than they are.
>>139063597
Who are these people again? Can't read moon.
>>139059200
Her largest form is anArachne, all her other evolutions were 1 meter to 2 meter long spiders.
>>139064133
I'm guilty of this. To be fair though, Kumo >>> faggot Shun.
>>139064175
Julius, Suu, Faggot, Kaita, Teacher
>>139064133
I haven't skipped them, but I don't blame people who do. The humans are SO boring
>>139064133
I found the side stories to be a nice breather from all the carnage and powerleveling in the dungeons.
For example after Kumo massacred the monkeys the pov shifts to Shun and Katia dicking around.
>>139064053
Well, at least we know the reason why Sue is a yandere.
>>139064115
It would be totally gay though.
>>139064305
She was yandere before Shun and Katia ever met. Don't you remember her reaction to Shun taking Katia and leaving that party? She chased after them and destroyed the door to the room they were in.
Also image is poison spider form Kumoko.
>>139064213
>Much hate on that faggot
Thanks.
Is he really that insufferable? I'm not that far yet.
>>139064213
>>139064273
I also rushed through them at first to get back to more Kumoko. I think they suffer due to always being placed on cliffhangers to Kumoko's story. You get most of their value on a reread, where you see how well plotted the story actually is.
>>139064392
>fucking a girl is gay
>>139064472
Except you lose a lot when you skip them and only go back and reread. The side stories a lot of times perfectly complement what is going on in the main story at the same time. Like when Shun and them were learning about the truth of the world and Kumoko at the same time was in her negative, fuck everyone mode because she just maxed Taboo.
>>139064392
That's why I asked
>>139064475
Gender is a social construct, you shitlord
>>139064544
Well I should have clarified that a bit more, the "truth of the world" as told by sensei.
>>139064577
Fuck off, fuckboy
>>139064577
Katia accepted herself as a girl.
>>139064461
Shun isn't a bad character, just a bit generic when paralleled with Kumoko. With regards to his 'insufferability',It's not really his fault that he's so insufferable. He's being fucked with.
>>139064448
I always took that scene as her noticing their fistbump through a keyhole and losing it, with that being the catalyst for her crazy behavior. Before it can mostly be written off as a clingy sister.
>>139064472
>>139064544
No doubt the story's great, it's just that Shun is an insufferable white knight with the personality of cardboard, and I really don't care about the people around him.
>>139064461
Shun is a very self-inserty harem protagonist down to the insufferably goody-goody attitude and viewed in-universe as extremely talented. The sort you see that would get special treatment from the author as the MC and padded with plot armor thicker than Touma.
It's just that we have another perspective that really shows how hopelessly small fry he is in the grand scheme of things. I find it laughable and quite entertaining when viewed from that perspective.
>>139064544
I'm not advocating that you skip them. I just think their value jumps after a reread, which redeems/explains many of their so-called negative qualities. I didn't mind Shun, especially afterwe understand Ruler skills.
>>139064747
Yeah the contrast between the two sides is great. Shun and party terrified of water dragons, Kumoko chapters at the same time fishing and eating water dragons.
>>139064544
I read the side stories but really didn't care about them untilI got near the end and they suddenly all became much more relevant
After that, I reread them all at once up until the most chronologically advanced chapter we have, and it felt really good.
>>139064821
This isn't entirely true though, even before getting Kindness Shun was a naive faggot. He didn't get Kindness until after he became the hero.
>>139064645Every single character in this novel is being fucked with to some capacity.
The only possible exception is D's maid.
>>139064827
Made better with the fact that the time difference between the two viewpoints isactually months apart, and by that time the power gap between the two is literally infinite.
>>139065002
>months
You mean something else right?
>>139065002>months
>not 10 years
I just finished marathoning this. I feel the story went downhill when Kumoapotheosizedand got a name.
Vampire and Oni pov were decent but they were nothing compared to the daily struggle of a spider trying to live in the labyrinth. And the human pov chapters are absolute trash.
>>139064874
We honestly don't know when he gets Kindness. He didn't get it with being a Hero, because otherwise Julius would have had it and Kumoko would have noticed. I won't lie that he's white-bread as fuck, but I think it it works with the story. Even the nice-guy is an unreliable narrator. I meanhis family is killed, his sister is captured, and he's turned into a criminal, all without have the ability to feel angry or frustrated with his circumstances due to Kindness.
>>139064827
Honestly, I wonder how the author will deal with the power creep. As of now, Shun will just get wrecked by Kumoko and co. If the Hero doesn't go against her, it will be a pretty half-hearted finale.
So what is the egg?
I don't remember it in the WN. So I'm assuming it's in the LN?
>>139065120
I feel like we're just spending a little down time setting upthe climax we saw in the elf village battle
and so far I feel like it's being done pretty well.
The best part of side stories is that when you first read them they seem to follow some really generic tropes, but after getting to that point in Kumoko's POV you go back and reread them in a whole different light.
Like during the hostile takeover, I got some serious NTR vibes whenYuugo brainwashed literally everyone against Shunbut turns outShiro was most likely behind the whole thing all along. And we know Shiro would never dabble in NTR.
>>139065120
The main story all along was about Kumo wanting to survive. Once she learned the truth of the world her goal becameescaping the world at any cost or preventing doomsday. D just forced her into saving the world.
I like the second half of the story just as much if not more than the first. Shiro is still an idiot except now she has to interact with others.
>>139065099
>>139065110
Derp, you're right. for some reason I only counted up tillgodhood
>>139065151
We know he had to have gotten it after he became a hero otherwise Shiro would have already mentioned it in the main chapters. Plus it's obvious that he bought it because his brother died and he wanted a method to revive the dead to prevent people he cared about dying in the future.
>>139063597
>I feel bad that blastron is asked why he's doing it after every post.
I hope those assholes don't make blastron quit. I'm going to have to drop this if he does.
>>139065229
>interacting with others
I like how she solved that problem by dropping books left and right.
>>139065244She became a god about a year and a half after being born. Vampire girl was only a bit over a year old when she lost her parents after all.
>>139065229
>Shiro blocked by speech bubble
every time
>>139065185
I think that it will be quite some time until hehit the Elf Battle. We still have several years until the War starts. I think we are a little bit past the first third of the story, withSophia and Wrath being the primary protagonists and the final third dealing with Shun standing up to Shiro.
>>139065290
I'm tempted to just preemptively post his copypasta on every update on the comments section.
It's not gonna stop the braindeads at tumblr from complaining anyway but at least there's an excuse to laugh at them.
>>139065290
Blastron has already said he might spend more time on bookworm series rather than kumo in the future.
>>139065344
We basically know everything we need to in order to understand it at this point.
All we really need is a few moreShun/Elf viewpointsand we'll probably be able to skip all the way there.
In other news, has anyone even created a chronological map of this series yet?
if not, that might be something I shoulddevote my autism to.
>>139065344
The main thing we still have to see is Wrath becoming a commander, he was one at the time the war started. Then we have the whole Shiro manipulating the idiot and then we have to see whether or not Sue gets a Ruler skill.
>>139065406
He said it's harder to translate and more popular because it's new, but that doesn't necessarily mean less frequent updates for Kumo. I hope.
>>139065290
He's already said that he's going to do choppy releases for the next month or so because of different priorities. Kumo doesn't get the same traffic or response compared to his other series. Gotta give him emotional support.
>>139065283
Your theory is as valid as mine. It's quite possible that he didn't buy it, and simply raised his skill naturally like Kyouya, since he fit the conditions.
>>139065331
I didn't even notice that until now. Jesus, that pics perfect.
Promotions!
>>139065229
It's still kinda jarring to me how Kumo has a very lively and active internal monologue but acts so autistically to other humans.
>>139065439
You mean where all the chapters and stuff fall?
Prologue / S1 at the start
1-100 or so before S2
Then to 200 before S3
Fitting in Oni and Blood is a bit harder though.
>>139065406
But that's only while he's getting ready o go to that con. After that everything should return to normal.
>>139065569
>Gotta give him emotional support.
I would if I didn't have to make tumblr to do it.
>>139065596
Just like how I can type up conversations fine but I can't talk to real people for shit! How relatable!
>>139065596
That's what happens when you have the memories of being an autistic hikkiNEET highschool girl shoved into you by a hikkiNEET goddess.
>>139065596
She's shy as fuck. The only person she can interact with is Ariel or D and that's mainly because both of them are her to a degree.
>>139065504
>>139065439
There is actually many things that need to happen in the series before the War pastWrath being a commander.
i)Somehow, Sophia develops a good relationship with the Pope.
ii) Sophia has to combat robots at some point
iii) Blow's love triangle with Oni and Sophia needs to be resolved
iv) Sensei needs to capture the two adventurers one year before the war. They are under lookout by Shiro, so something needs to obstruct her
Also, given how much development Sophia and Wrath have gotten, I don't think we will rush too quickly through this time. I've enjoyed all the character interactions a lot, so I hope she doesn't skip through it.
>>139065439
I don't know of a full chronology, but at the current part of the story, we have 3-4 years until the war.
>>139065909
I think it's 2-3 years. The stuff with Yuugo's attack already happened. If I remember right they were only 17 this world years old when the whole capital coup and stuff happened and right now they are all 13 years old.
>>139065909
There was a year gap wasn't there after Julius died and Shun went home to train before the crazy started?
>>139066061
>>139066144
This shit is why we need a hero of autism to look over all the chapters and find all the timeskips and ages.
Not it.
>>139066061
It mostly depends on the length of the War. Turb0's translation in S17 said that several years passed since Yuugo's attack, which I generally think is longer. I wonder howWrath gets commander in 2-3 years.Also,how would Shiro run her own army?
>>139066406
What's his name became a commander pretty fast with Ariel's support once there was an opening. I can see the same thing happening with Wrath.
>>139066144
Shun went immediately home (so, probably a few days) after getting the title and then trained for one month before Yuugo's bitchiness. I'm not sure how long it took for the hero party to then get to Elro, but it was at least a month.
>>139066499
It was definitely longer than a month.
>>139066499
It definitely wouldn't have been a year, since the whole deal with Yuugo was that the church announced him as the new hero.
A year would be too long to go without a hero since the skill passes on automatically.
>>139066406
>how would Shiro run her own army?
Written orders. With lots of hand-drawn pictures of cute spiders in the margins.
In Shiro's timeline she's currently planning to destroy the Hero part of the system along with Julius, but that obviously fails. I'm wondering if Blow confessed to her right before he attacked Julius and she froze up.
>>139066633
Actually meant Elf Village. Remember, Shun can move pretty quickly due to his Light Drake. Elro was his only big time sink, and with Basgas they went through it very quickly.
>>139066783
Personally, I think she's going to make them train like the monkey's she fought, with the entire army going against Sophia (and failing horribly.
I'm pretty sure Blow'sis going to have his soul protected by Shiro, like the Sword God's was.
>>139065573
Mother fucker, good one.
>>139066783
>she froze up from a confession
Holy shit, that does sound like her. Especially with how she froze up when she was groped.
>>139063597
The elf was the teacher right?
>>139068072
Yes.
>>139067010
His training back at home was longer than a month I'm pretty sure.
>>139067010
How did Shiro protect the Sword God? I thought for sure he was destroyed and she didn't give a fuck.
