When they read off the stats of characters it can be a little annoying because it's getting longer and longer especially for the main character

A great followup that continues the strengths of volume 3.

My thoughts on "So I'm a Spider, So What?" (蜘蛛ですが、なにか?) Vol 4

Written by Okina Baba
Art by Kiryu Tsukasa

Already halfway through all volumes released in English, really? (as of March 8, 2020)

The story:
What can I say, it's very good.
This volume was a very good one (as all the other ones), this volume was about Spider MC exploring the outside world and fighting a very big deal, defeating eve monsters that at first seemed impossible to defeat.

On the hero MC story, this volume is about how he travels to the elf village and meets with his fellow reincarnated friends. I really liked this idk but it somehow reminded me of the first book of LOTR. The story was very good on both sides.

Enjoyment:
Plot twists, epic fights, very incredible revelations, and spider MC getting to levels of OPness that shouldn't be possible this volume was just as fun to read as the others and I really enjoyed the fights on this volume.

The verdict:
I can definitely state that this series is rapidly becoming an all-time-favorite to me. I love everything about this series and would definitely recommend it to anyone without thinking twice about it. Also, the end of this book was incredible. 9.5/10

While the story has me entirely hooked, I’m still not too fond of the writing style. It’s very choppy and doesn’t really flow well at all. I wish I knew if the translation was keeping the authors original style, or if it’s just poor translation ruining the flow.

I keep coming back to this series because it intrigues me. I’d been told this series improves with volume #4, and they were right. There was so much less level up stat dumping in this volume. Instead, Okina Baba focused on weaving his two different narratives closer together. More information of the gods was revealed, including their intrigue across time. What I found most interesting was the afterward in the back where Okina Baba revealed that the novels have diverged from the web serialization. Rewritten, expanded, and improved. I can’t recommend you start with this volume, but if you hate the LitRPG elements of the earlier volumes, you’ll be pleased with this volume. If only the unnamed spider sounded less like a gamer dude.
