I was watching Anime for a long time already, picked up a manga here and there but I didn’t really enjoy them. It felt like there was so little story and I could finish one in under an hour. So I gave up on Manga.
I watched So I’m a Spider, So What?/ Kumo desu ga, nani ka? when it started airing and it hooked me instantly. Her character. The world. The comedy. Everything. (Except the humans…).
Once it was over, I wanted more. And since everyone kept saying the Light Novel is way better, especially the human side, I bought the first 3 volumes.
It was amazing. I binge read them until I had to wait for the English releases. Right now I’m waiting for vol. 16 to be available again so I can finish this series.
I started with Mushoku Tensei. Just as you, watched the anime, loved it, and heard amazing things about the LN. And you already know the rest. Now I’m just waiting for the next volumes to be translated so I can buy them.
My interest started with SAO and started with them. But dropped them when I finished mushoku s anime and went all in.
