>Kumoko manga threads being deleted for LN content Someone

Why does she have plants growing out of her back?

FTFY

>>140393464
The problem with unpopular series is that sometimes you have no other way of enjoying them while waiting for the manga but to read the LN/WN and discuss those, yet /jp/'s userbase is vastly different from /a/'s and making a thread over there ends up with you getting shitposted to page 404 or getting your thread deleted on /a/. This is because mods are low level fags and most don't even watch anime and are nerds.

This is only a problem with unpopular series, like I said. You won't see an Overlord thread getting deleted for LN discussion any time soon.

Back on topic, though.
Anyone have any idea what the author is planning with Shun?
All I can currently see him is getting either massacred by the Demon Lord or being killed by Shiro after he somehow manages to actually defeat the Demon Lord.

>>140394040
Shun is useless as long as he's neutered by his Ruler skills. Fucker couldn't even kill Yuugo.

>>140393911
Since when was it against the rules to discuss LN content from currently airing/serialized anime/manga?

>>140394143
Never, the discussion in the last thread shifted toward Duke's Daughter (which has a manga as well) and I guess the mod was simply a fag.

>>140394143
Current moderation really seems to hate LNs, since they delete threads on sight. Kind of funny, considering how many threads on /a/ belong on other boards but get active protection and cleanup from mods/janitors.

>>140394118
Yeah, I know.
But he did reach Taboo Lv. 10 in the last fight.
And he can't simply become a god using the means Shiro had.
This is why I keep thinking what the author has in store for us, since -- as I said -- I can see him only being eradicated from existence because that's a major point of Shiro's plan.
Well, let's hope the author's slump ends soon.

>>140394143
I think since 2013.
With /a/'s 5th rule
>Japanese visual novels should be posted in /jp/, and Western on /vg/.


And /jp/'s 2nd rule
>This is the appropriate board for the discussion of Japanese visual novels and light novels. Western visual novels should be posted to /vg/, and translated visual novels are fine on either board.

And while, yes, it doesn't specifically say anything about LN, they still get deleted sometimes.

They are not really enforced though so there's a lot of discrepancy between mods.

This is becoming a meta thread so I'll stop now.

>>140394308
But she's obviously unwilling to kill him since she had plenty of opportunities to do so.

At this point the only narrative choices for him are to join Shiro because of Taboo or somehow assemble a powerful enough force to oppose her. Maybe it's possible if Shiro pisses Kuro off enough for him to change sides.

>>140393464
Each manga chapter covers roughly ~3 WN chapters. Which means ~60 chapters more before Arachne Kumoko. Which means two more years of serialization.

>>140394309
Mods on /jp/ delete LN threads even faster than on /a/, and the /jp/ posters generally hate LNs and fill any threads about them with shitposting and requests for the threads to be posted on /a/. Despite what the moderation says, /a/ is the only place where they fit.

>>140394412
>powerful enough force to oppose her
That's not even possible unless your second point becomes real because I extremely doubt that the author will pull some shit and make one of the other students a god.
Also, for him to switch sides, would mean some extremely drastic stuff that Shiro had to pull.
Remember when she locked him away and his 'little paradise' was destroyed completely by Oni? Even then, he was satisfied by beating him up.
Or the Queen Summon that happened rather early (story telling wise).

>>140394681
Maybe Shun manages to wake up Sariel.
That would ensure Kuro switches sides.

So I read some of this and it just turns into generic chuuni demon lord shit?
I mean I know I should have expected nothing less but still. At least the spider looks cute

Can somebody explain to me how combining the souls of
>solemn and cynical Demon Lord
>anti-social misanthropic spider
somehow gives you "Maou Shoujo Ariel-chan~"?

>>140394926
The fusion wasn't complete and Shiro was happy go lucky internally all the time.

>>140393464
why didnt she appraise the dead body she had in her neet cave

>>140394974
>>140394926
Not to mention that this was specifically Body-in-Charge, the dumbest personality.

>>140394789
The demon lord is extremely un-chuu2.
The most chuu2 character in the series is the vampire girl and she keeps getting shit from everyone else for it.

>>140395002
Because appraisal is still useless at the time and she can level grind it faster mass appraising new areas of the cave.

Sophia got 12 years of Shiro training. She likely would have beat Wrath even with the stat difference.

>>140395447
It's too bad the fanartist never colored this or at least I've never seen a colored version posted anywhere.

>>140395447
>he likely would have beat Wrath even with the stat difference.
You mean in the theoretical scenario where the Wrath skill didn't activate? Because he pretty handily kicked her ass after it did.

>>140395512
We must have read something different. While it's true that he started getting the upper hand, he was still in a much worse position than she was. And we never got to see her use Envy since Kuro interrupted right as she activated it.

>>140395413
That reminds me of how Kumoko had to douse herself with poison whenever she got set on fire because she didn't know any water magic.

>>140396017
It ends with the human-demon war chapters / Shun becoming a hero because of Julius' death. The fire dragon was after that part.

>>140395817
When Kumoko called them catfish I thought they'd be smaller.
But holy shit she was regularly hunting and eating multiples of them at a time? Those huge things? What a damn glutton.

>>140395950
That's the fire dragon isn't it? The fire drake is supposed to look like an eel.

>>140397421
Except the catfish are bigger than the sea horses, the fire drakes are bigger than the eels, and the fire dragon is bigger than the drakes, so it's kind of silly for the eel to be the one exception to the trend.

For your discussion.

Wait, so going by spoilers the egg that Kumoko had that eventually hatched into a drake was actually a reincarnated classmate, but that can't be the case since everyone's already accounted for right?

You'd best be careful when dealing with egg racketeers. They're a dangerous lot.

It's probably the drake, the stats seem to differ a bit, but it's definitely too low for the dragon.

She's a god, surely self-modification is pretty simple to do?

>>140399489
It's not so easy, it seems.
It took her forever just so people perceive her as simply being white, and this effect also fades if you know her or see her more often.

You know, it's a lot harder for the manga to ruse the reader into thinking that Kumoko was some unpopular shut-in NEET girl when she's clearly attractive in her flashbacks.

Well, she is an unapproachable beauty, just remember the speech from the ninja.

>>140397764
Yes, very terrifying.

>>140399824
Well, she never was human in the first place.

>>140399939
Well the story went out of its way to make you think Kumoko was Rihoko. It wasn't revealed until elf battle when Sophia met Shun and Katia.

>>140399913
That came after her true identity was revealed. Before it was set in stone the author was quite clearly trying to ruse the reader into assuming she was Rihoko.

>>140399939
You know what I mean.

>>140399824
The manga hasn't shown her face yet though. All we know is that she has an attractive body and long hair.

For all you know she could be a butterface.

>>140400063
True. Maybe the manga artist just decided to make her look like every other girl in the class, who were also attractive.

>>140400154
Shiro is insta-boner material going by the reactions regular plebs had when she wasn't using glamour to make everyone see white, and from what Shun and Ogre-kun said her face is still the same as it was while she was Wakaba.

>>140400271
Ninja-kun said the same that she looked exactly the same as previously.

>>140400271
I mean going from a manga-only reader perspective.

Clearly if you're caught up with the web novels you know Kumoko (and D)'s true identity and that she's drop-dead gorgeous, but for the manga which is still trying to make the case that she's unpopular, there's still a possibility that she's unattractive since it hasn't shown her face to the readers yet.

>>140400415
Most nips are skinny in any case, so I don't really think a thin body gives too much away.

>>140394643
maybe the mods are fucking stupid enough to think they should go on /lit/

>>140400587
>LNs on lit
what would happen?

How did Kumoko even interpret "herself" as unpopular anyways?
It's implied that she mixed up her memories as a spider and Wakaba Hiiro's memories together and the spider's unpleasant memories influenced her impression of Wakaba Hiiro's life but did she never re-examine her memories and go "huh, all these boys were regularly confessing to me and called me the number one beauty in the school, was I really unpopular?"

>>140400691
Seeing how they treat regular genre fiction it wouldn't be pretty, think of the as /mu/ but for books. Haven't been to either place in a good long while though.

>>140400691
It would be similar to manwha/hua threads on here I assume.

>>140400691
They either get banned there as well, or the sheer deluge of LN readers overwhelms the board like how wrestling overwhelms /asp/

>>140400760
She didn't need to, she already realized what she really was once she became a Goddess.

Why did Shiro liquefy Julius again? I thought she was going to eat him?

>>140400863
Obviously I'm talking about the period of time when she was still a spider and unaware of D's ruse cruise.

>>140400898
She wanted to completely remove the hero from the system. But clearly failed as it passed onto Shun.

>>140400898
Probably a test run if that skill eradicates skills as well. Remember her goal.

>>140400965
>>140400998
Kinda hoped kumo would... y'know, bring him back to life and take him as her loveslave or something

>>140401100
He's not a oji-san type character though.

So where can I read this LN? I found a place but not sure if it's the best quality translation. Are there multiple groups?

>>140401100
Why would she? She hated the hero and the hero is the only thing that could kill her single "sorta" friend.

>>140400937
Of course not because she never really noticed the discrepancy until becoming a God cleared everything up. I believe it mentioned that she had suspicions that her memory was exactly right beforehand but nothing more specific than that.

No one is translating the LN.

The slowest translator is blastron who didn't manchine edit so he is at 70 chapters.

The fastest translator that machine edit caught up with the raws so it is up to you.

Note that the author has writer's block and put this series at hiatus at like chapter 170 or something.

She interpreted hersefl as unpopular because D is the God of Death in charge of the Underworld.

Death Gods were never popular gods to begin with aka Hades for example.

So some of D's personality and bias in that soul fragment she gave to Kumuko influenced her perception that she was unpopular.

If, on the other hand, D was the Goddess of Love, then Kumuko would have a very different view of herself.

Yes, and shiro's plan is slaughtering the entire population.

>>140403838
Yeah, but even Kuro's on board with that because they pretty have no other choice.
Is Sariel going to oppose them and let the world get fucked?

>>140403838
No, her endgame is to destroy the retarded leveling system that D put in so the world may not collapse.

The bad thing is that most, if not all of the world's population won't survive if they have a fuckton of skills since those will go away once the system falls, and the bits and pieces of souls that those skills are attached to.

>>140403928
No, Kuro isn't on board. What Shiro has told Kuro and Ariel is just that lots of deaths are gonna happen, which Kuro agreed to. Shiro's true plan involves killing EVERYONE, which she stated neither of the two would agree to.

>>140403838
Shiro's plan also involves killing Sariel, hence why she said Kuro will flip out once he learns the full details.

>>140402711
Because it was Shiro's assigned task. Shiro was given the task to save the world if she wants to become one of D's kin.

>>140403770
Heh I sure as hell would if i had that op as fuck equipment.

>>140403965
Its said that hardly anyone would survive force ejecting the system. Which is why she kept it to herself.

>>140401607
She's currently writing another series with at roughly the same pages per week as she was writing Kumo. If she starts Kumo after finishing Escape Sheep Land, we have until mid May-early July in terms of wait time (assuming that Escape Sheep Land is a book-length story).

>>140403977
>Shiro's true plan involves killing EVERYONE, which she stated neither of the two would agree to.
What? She never planned on killing everyone, the part she hid from them was that a LOT of people would die from skill deprivation, not that EVERYONE would die.

The real reason Kuro would probably disagree with her full plan is probably >>140403994
Though where exactly did she confirm that her plan was going to end with Sariel dead?

>>140404134
It was a hyperbole, as i stated here >>140404012
doing it will pretty much kill almost everyone. Thats why she didn't tell Ariel and Kuro, and also the Sariel bit for Kuro.

>>140403804
Sariel is getting very, very depressed. If you reread the S chapters after Yuugo fucks shit up, the time when Katia calls out Shun's behavior are basically Shun voicing Sariel's feelings. For all we know, Shun's special Ruler skill might be to call out Sariel to aid him. He is the Ruler of Kindness, after all.

>>140404134
She didn't confirm it but it's pretty much guaranteed because Sariel is super hooked up into the system. There's probably no way to take it down without killing her too.

>>140404235
What? The special skill for Ruler of Kindness was the resurrection ability.

>>140404235
I'd say its more likely that the hero can link with Sariel.

>>140404195
M-maybe Maou Shoujo Ariel-chan will ascend to godhood before shit goes down?
Surely Shiro wouldn't leave her soul twin/grandma to get caught up in the apocalypse?

>>140404354
Part of Shiro's plan involves figuring out a way to save Ariel and Sophia and Oka and the other few she cares about.

>>140403977
>>140404195

I really doubt that Shiro's final goal is to end the system while killing nearly everyone. Remember, every narrator is unreliable and Shiro likes styling herself a villain. If she turns off the system that way, her new daughter Sophia will definitely die. There might be a cheat she made for her to remove skills without killing people, as seen in S29.

>>140404455
Shiro has already said that in retrospect her training Sophia so much was probably a bad idea since it made her more likely to die because of her plan.

>>140404294
Nope. Kindness is a Ruler skill, while becoming Ruler of Kindness (the title) grants you two skills. Of those title skills, one is a very high level skill and a unique skill the Ruler gets. For example,when Kumoko gets the Ruler skill Pride, the Ruler of Pride title gives her Abyss Magic lvl 10 and the Ruler specific skill Hell. Since we haven't appraised Shun, we don't know what his Ruler specific (ie Hell-like) skill is.

>>140404455
Isn't it all but confirmed that Shiro is the one responsible for Skill Erasure? It's probably something like:

Witnessing Oka use her Ruler skill to erase Yuugo's skills -> get inspired -> hack Skill Erasure into the system so everyone can use it instead of just the Ruler of Charity -> people erase their skills -> less fallout when the System collapses

>>140404560

>>140403770

Thats what a squire is for, rubbing down the armor with white sand and vinegar. If they were lucky, they could put it in a barrel and roll it around instead of doing by hand.

>>140404560
>>140404662
This, the res ability goes against the system, it even raises Taboo level every time Shun used it. It's obviously his Ruler ability.

>>140404526
Yea, but she then says that she wants to find some sort of countermeasure for Sophia (see ch 234). I doubt Shiro's just going to give up and let her die.Sophia is nearly always in her thoughts.

>>140404347
That's what I originally said >>140403766

The ultimate abusive tsundere powerleveling instructor mother. Lucky Sophia.

>>140404829
The funny thing is Sophia is almost twice Kumoko's age if you take reincarnation into account.

>>140404930
Yeah but she's boosted with D's memories so it's really not that different.

>>140404662
>>140404765
I think you are misunderstanding me. The skill 'Kindness' is the res ability. I'm saying he got another skill for being Ruler of Kindness, through the title, like Sophia's 'Root of Evil', Wrath's 'Enma', Sensei's 'Presentation', and Kumoko's 'Conviction', 'Degeneration'. The skills like 'Presentation' use the soul's power to work. These skills are not properly all explained, but they can do crazy shit like opening Hell, doing unblockable damage, etc. I'm saying that the skill Shun got, like one of these, summons Sariel.

>>140404658
that's partially my thinking behind it as well, but I think Skill Erasure is a separate from Presentation, which is probably what Sensei used. Sensei's skill was basically immediate, while they say in S29 that it takes several days for the Skill Erasure skill to work. I think it's another case of the author quietly foreshadowing something and people forgetting it since it's part of the side chapters.

>>140405234

If we go under the assumption that it's a Shiraori Special Knockoff of Skill Erasure that's been modified for everybody it's not unreasonable for it to be less potent than the original.

>>140405325
And by Skill Erasure I mean Presentation.

Skill Erasure being a knockoff of the original Presentation, I mean. Not unrelated by not the same thing either.

>yfw the final chapter of the series is D, Shiro, and Ariel sitting around in D's apartment NEETing it out

>>140405325
I agree that your idea is equally valid, and we just need to wait and see. Hopefully not to long (although I personally think we have quite a few chapters until the Demon War).

>>140404930
I wonder how Shiro's going to react when Sophia ages (physically) past her. She's basically stuck an immortal teenager like Ariel.

>>140399824
>That pose
Yeah no way a freak like Rihoko would pose like that.

That reminds me, the manga also positioned Kumoko somewhere on the back in the class while in the WN/LN Shun mentioned that Rihoko sits somewhere on the front.

All of your spoilers make this series seem a lot more interesting than the manga currently is

>>140405448
Best ending possible.

>>140405765
The actual story doesn't kick in till WAY later.

>>140405448
I approve of this ending.

>>140405765
The story is carried by an entertaining protagonist with enjoyable action which you don't really see in her hikki stage. The fact that it has a well constructed world on top of that isn't really apparent for a while. It's really just best to read the WN and use the manga as a supplement (as it's probably meant to be).

>>140405765

there is a significant tone shift later, the first part of the story is kumo surviving by the skin of her teeth

All of these problems and the requirements of drastic measures and the suffering it will bring and has brought so far just because Kuro was (and possibly still is) a faggot.
I mean, what kind of legitimate right or reason at all would he have to stop Shiro?
She's just cleaning his mess.

His woman a shit, Shiro should have killed her when he was locked away.

>>140406247
Kuro is a rabid dog on a pretty tight leash. When he got drunk he said that basically the only thing stopping him from destroying the world is Sariel. With her gone, how much shit do you think that would bring Shiro? She isn't powerful enough to stop that angry dragon.

>>140406441
She's been preparing and planning for the inevitable fight for years. She most likely is taking into account his rage when he learns he was tricked and the outcome of it into account.

>>140406705
That's true. Although from her latest estimate after Kuro was released, she put herself at a [/spoiler]20% victory chance after 13 years of prep time[/spoiler].

By the way, has there been any announcement for when Vol 3 of the LN comes out?

>>140406705

>Yeah no way a freak like Rihoko would pose like that.
I think it's the manga author trying to do the foreshadowing in his own way. It's going to take a long-ass time before the question of Kumoko's true identity pops up or Rihoko gets mentioned, so by then most readers will forget the details from the first chapters.

Depends on how afraid of spiders you are. I have a friend that can't even handle reading about them and even though I know there isn't much spidery business usually I had to tell him not to read this story because of certain things Shiro does with spiders in more recent chapters.

When's the LN supposed to come out?

What happens when you try to take a soul out of the jurisdiction of the System anyways?

Or, in other words, what would happen if Shiro tried to take any of her classmates back to Earth? Since the System directly meddles with their soul to manifest skills once you take them out of said System and to another world does their soul implode or stay fine?

Shiro already separated herself from the System prior to traveling to Earth so she can't exactly be used as a case study.

>>140410291
Probably similar to what happens if you strip their skills? Pure speculation, though.
What I mean, more skills, equals the soul being bound more to that world, and basically resulting in death, or whatever.

These 2 are actually the minority when you consider the Isekai genre. "Save it from destruction" is usually avoided or has a 'twist" since thats cliche as fuck, even more than the RPG tropes.

And Magic Academy in isekai usally doesn't exist(BUT THE GODDAMN GUILDS DO) or in the majority of the cases is simply not a focus of the the story(Although of course you have stuff like Magi's Grandson..but you know, very few of those)

Honestly, Kumo Desu Ga is one of the luckier series to survive machine translations.

Because they're even lazier and can't be assed to do machine translations themselves, so machine translators are actually providing them a service.

If you aren't interested, just leave them be, it's not like they're stopping anyone from picking the same stuff up and doing a proper translation work, see Kumoko for example, that's getting a real one.

It's obviously going to be Blow who makes her realize people other than her family are worth saving.

And Shiro let him die right in front of her without batting an eyelash. Could've saved him, but she didn't.

She obviously gives no fucks about Yankee-kun.

>Supporting anything other than Shiro-chan X Maou Shoujo Ariel-chan
Oh wait that's technically incest isn't it. On multiple levels even.

>>140423505

>Blow is fucking dead

Exactly. It's seems that Blow has a giant crush on Shiro. It's quite possible that he proposed to her right before trying to kill the Hero, and then died. Shiro explicitly didn't want to kill the Hero, but instead remove the title from the system. She obviously fucks this up because Shun is the next Hero. Blow's death may have pissed her off enough to go against her original plans.

>>140423415
You think Shiro would've let him? She's trying to direct imouto toward the Chastity skill you know.

>>140423618
Except she could've saved Blow but she didn't. The other demon generals saw her let him die.
Why let him die only to get pissed over it?

>>140423618
Pretty sure you can't remove it without removing the demon lord system too, y'know. "always must be a hero and a maou" after all

>>140423415
No chance. The worst he did was possibly grope Katia (to let him gain the Lust skill). I doubt Shiro would have allowed anything further.

>>140423672
The other demon generals didn't see shit. They were at their own fights. They only knew that Shiro rekt the Hero. The only two commanders at that particular battle were Blow and Shiro. Hell, she could have just been in shock that someone asked her out after 15-17 years of not getting any. She's terrible at dealing with people after all, and she's made bigger mistakes while absentminded.

Did anyone read about LN of the human turned wolf traveling with a witch? Because I noticed the manga came out a while back.

Plus, Ariel says when she's talking to the Succubus general that she had plans to fully remove the Hero from the system, but didn't seem that worried that it would affect her.

So how long until Yuri gets ousted as a spy?

>>140428015
Raw still does not have her get discovered.

>>140427893
Thank you anon.

>>140427893
DD spoilers on AS sound really irritating. Like really the world would be a much better place if Ed just got killed.

Also 31 is out too. The Queen Dowager is pretty obsessed with Iris' Mom and now her.

>>140427893
The queen sure is obsessesed with Iris and her mother, goddamn.

This is why the older brother is much superior. The little brother can go fuck off in his little delusion.

But Yuri is adorable! So adorable she can brainwash you.

>>140430055
Fuck off Ed

>>140428732
said AS pretty much said stupid runs in the family and that the first prince isn't going after the MC because he's afraid of catching the stupid

>>140430331
I want the stupids executed. This shit is gonna get aggravating fast.

>tfw Yen Press will license this shit and will take 10 years to finish each god damn book

>>140430498
Well, the author will take 10 years to actually finish the story anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

>>140427825
I literally finished the the translated stuff the day chapter 260 was translated. That was a weird moment.

Disgusting.

>>140431411
Ed is such a faggot for ditching literal perfection.

>>140432021
At least Ed is actually the focus of Yuri's attention unlike all the other cucks

>>140432408
Yeah, Ed I can understand, the rest are just cucks.

To think the queen failed twice to have the dukedom's females marry into her family proves how resilient she is on the idea.

Who /tmw/ here?

>>140421997
At this rate, Riku will become the new Demon Lord. She's already got half of the Demon Army following her out of sincere respect.

In a world where humans overly depend on their magic, and idealistic fantasy, Riku's brutal skills as a warrior and cunning as a strategist more than make up for her biology as a human. She turned multiple near-defeats into victories and could outfight her supposedly genius brother, and keep up sword skill-wise with her father (he had to cheat with his magic.)

>and the faggot still alive.
good, I want him to be alive

the dead can't suffer

Doesn't the spider eventually become an arachnia?

>>140433281
Yes, for about 5 chapters

>>140433333
She still is an Arachne afterwards, but she can hide it. Sophia sees it.

>>140433840
She's not even in the system anymore, she can be whatever the fuck she wants. And she assumes human form anyway.

>>140433840
Not exactly. She can switch between these two forms. Sophia saw it since she's always building a home and sleeping in it as an Arachne.

So she gets a human form? What does it look like?

>>140434534
Completely white. With freaky eyes that she has closed all the time or anyone close to her would loose his shit.

She's the thing nightmares are made of.

>>140434534
White hair. White skin. 5 pupils in each eye socket.
