So I'm a Spider, So What? – Kumoko
Kumoko was your typical shut-in Japanese high school student before dying and getting reincarnated as a spider—yeah, a literal spider. Not exactly winning the reincarnation lottery, but she's made it work.
In her past life, she was glued to video games and never really left her room. Now stuck in a spider's body with objectively terrible base stats, she's had to get creative. She compensates by leaning hard into agility, spider thread techniques, and poison—basically turning her minimal toolkit into something actually dangerous. Fans often note that her approach to combat is surprisingly tactical for someone who's, well, an arachnid.
What sets her apart is her mental fortitude. Growing up as a gamer apparently prepped her better than most people would expect for surviving in a hostile world. She thinks her way through problems rather than brute-forcing them, which honestly feels like the only reason she's still alive.
The whole thing reads like a weird isekai premise, but the series takes her situation surprisingly seriously. She's not overpowered and coasting—she's genuinely struggling and evolving, using everything at her disposal just to stay in the game.
