So I'm a Spider, So What?, Vol. 2

Volume 2 of Okina Baba's "So I'm a Spider, So What?" light novel finds the reborn spider Kumoko pushing deeper into the Elroe Great Labyrinth after the trials of her first volume. Having grown genuinely dangerous through relentless fighting (and eating) of monsters, she grows a little too confident in her own strength and blunders into an unexplored stretch of the dungeon — landing her face to face with her most fearsome opponent yet, a huge dragon.

Along the way she is driven from her lair once again, this time by a swarm of increasingly clever, spear-wielding primates who learn from every trick she throws at them, forcing her to out-think as much as out-fight her enemies. The volume also carries the story past the point covered by the original web novel with new material, and rounds out with side stories following Julius, Schlain, and Katia, the human students reincarnated into the same world as Kumoko.

Published in English by Yen Press (Yen On) in March 2018, this volume keeps the series' mix of comedic narration and dungeon-crawling survival, with Kumoko's skill and status growth continuing to drive the plot.
