So I'm a Spider, So What?, Vol. 12

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

Narrated by: Caitlin Kelly

THIS COLD WAR JUST WENT HOT! This is a special spider field report coming to you straight from the human-demon border where a massive battle has erupted! The Demon Lord is finally launching an all-out assault on the fortresses guarding the human realm’s frontier and has committed hundreds of thousands of soldiers for the attack. On the other side, the humans are putting up a stiff resistance! All signs point to a bloody day of fighting for both forces-though that’s kinda the point, y’know? Hopefully the hero comes onto the field as planned...

Basically Character Snapshots and Long Soliloquys

This series I has some great things going for it. The characters are well developed and both demon and human sides are relatable and likeable (except for Julius the Stupid and Shun the Boring). The world is also interesting, especially the fight over the system's resources. Where it fails - and fails miserably, is in the actual telling. Honestly, I feel like a better writer should rewrite this whole mess in a better style because it's just a jumbled mess of ideas and not a cohesive story.

With that said, at least this was far, far better than the last release even though this is basically just a collection of chapters with many characters banging on about their life and motivations with a war as a backdrop. This is important information to be sure, but it is related in the most bruteforced, hamfisted way possible.

Oh well, what are you going to do? If you made it this far in the series, you already know what's what, so why are you bothering to listen to me blather on anyway?

the voices

I love it. you can feel the love sh puts into reading it. what else is there to say.

Obsessed with this series

I absolutely love the narrator and story. I am looking forward to the next volume.

love the story as well as the audio production

first off let me say that this is probably over of my favorite books through our the whole story, the narration is GREAT she does such a good job with different voices. my only gripe about this book is that it's too short as well as the length the side characters speak... OMG it is ridiculous!!

Edging

It is another filler but really good! Still waiting the the confrontation at the end of the anime. I can’t wait for the next one.
