Patch Notes

The System in So I'm a Spider, So What? features many skills that have varying translations throughout the series. Due to this inconsistency, the System can be more confusing than it actually is. This page lists the changes that occur between different volumes of the English Translation, and may not include exclusively System changes, but other translation issues as well.

Volume 1

 * Incorrect skill level: Spider Thread in Chapter 3 leveled up from 2 to 3, but in the Japanese version it was from level 3 to 4. Default value of Spider Thread level for a Small Lesser Taratect is 3 as defined by the Monster Encyclopedia sheet.

Volume 2

 * Wisdom Inconsistencies: Some skills introduced in the chapter "Wisdom" have inconsistent translations in early print editions of Volume 2. Yen Press has reprinted Volume 2 and updated digital releases to fix these errors.
 * Incorrect skill level: In Chapter 2, Detection levels up from 4 to 5. However, in the Japanese version, Detection levels up from 5 to 6. This is due to Kumoko having levelled up Detection earlier from 4 to 5 in the chapter along with Detection LV 6 shown in the following appraisal.
 * Use of Tolerance: In Chapter 6, Dark Resistance is called Dark Tolerance. This is the only instance in the series where Resistance is called Tolerance.
 * Incorrect level application: A level is applied to Heresy Nullification in Chapter 6 when Kumoko gains it from gaining Ruler of Perseverance. There should be no levels applied to a Nullification skill, as the Nullification means that no further resistance can be gained.
 * Wrong Skill Name: In Chapter 7, the skill Height Of Ocultism is incorrectly renamed to Height Of Evil. This is the only instance in the series where Height of Ocultism is called Height Of Evil.

Volume 3

 * Tier 2 Gluttony Sin: Gorge changed to Gluttony and then Satiation. Remains as Satiation from here on out. Tier 3 confirmed as Gluttony.
 * Tier 3 HP increase: Lifeblood changed to Ultimate Life.

Volume 4

 * Incorrect Skill Tier: Thought Super-Acceleration was incorrectly referenced as Thought Acceleration. This is due to Kumoko having Super-Acceleration in an earlier appraisal.

Volume 6

 * Vampire Passive: Immortality on vampire progenitor changed to Undying Body due to overlapping with true Immortality.

Volume 7

 * Wrong Skill Name: Appraisal is incorrectly called "Analyze"
 * Incorrect Ruler Skill name: Source of where White receives Miracle Magic from described as from the "Hero" skill but is actually received from the "Ruler of Charity" title

Volume 8

 * Puppet Taratect Naming: Sael incorrectly referred to as Riel, though they have similar personalities in being "not very independent," Sael is the one staring off into space and Riel is the one with the unreadable expression.

Volume 9

 * Weapon Creation: In Volume 8-O2, Wrath mentions that he tried to make forks but cannot, but in Volume 9-O, he is able to make forks and other farming tools which fall outside of what he explicitly said he wasn't able to do.

Volume 10

 * Character Naming: Erguner's name spelling changed to Agner. Blow's name spelling changed to Bloe.

Manga Patches

 * Chapter 45.1: Kumoko states that she "buys" Spatial Storage, but this is not possible due to it being a spell tied to Spatial Magic. She is actually just browsing her available spells, a separate menu linked to the Appraisal skill that is not shown. The only skill she buys in this chapter is Swim.
