So I'm a Spider, So What? - Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

[DarthEnderX]

The Kumoko central episodes have started to get repetitive and boring.

And I think the human central episodes are and always have been repetitive and boring. So I guess we'll just have to agree that you're wrong.

We basically know she isn't going to lose.

Well yeah, but, again, that's the fault of the human thread.

When half the story takes place 15 years in the futures, there's isn't much fear of consequences or sense of stakes in the part of the story that takes place in the past.

Can't happen according to the tree Kumoko has seen. The Arch and Queen are the end of one evolution. The Great Poison is another dead end. Ortho Kadinart would have been another dead end as well.

Only Kumoko has acquired whatever steps she needs to make the jump to a humanoid form.

Do we know you can't go backwards if you wanted?

Like, if she wanted to, could the Queen could revert to an Ede Saine to progress along another path?

Not to mention, we now know there's evolutions that aren't on the chart. So there could be places for the Queen to go that we can't see.
