I’m wondering if everyone is wrong, and the Prince of Spiders has the Necromancer Class instead of the Rogue!

2026-02-20 12:32:13 +0000 UTCGlad to Simon more consistently holding own in Combat. It would be... disappointing if a bunch of criminals killed him before Simon even finds out the Queen's 3rd task.

2026-02-20 04:48:37 +0000 UTCPrince of Spiders may be multiple people, or rather one person with multiple clones. We saw in this chapter a Shadow Clone technique from the ninja, so the Rogue definitely has it as well, but might even have something better. Renal is strong enough to answer directly to the Prince of Spiders and yet he says that they will kill him, not that he/she will kill him This Ninja crestone is something that perfectly covers Simon’s weak points in mobility.

2026-02-19 23:16:16 +0000 UTCIt's times like these (when the Cobweb is being extra dangerous/annoying) that makes me wish we did the Overlord of Crime reign.

2026-02-19 19:45:33 +0000 UTCRenal put up a very good fight there. I really like how Simon fought mainly with magic. That feels more like his style than melee combat. Is Renal’s name taken from Renal Bloodscalp from Baldurs Gate 2?

2026-02-19 18:37:56 +0000 UTCI mean… the Academy, Berwick Isles, and Stone Muse were all intended to help with leveling. Jester King as well to a certain extent, and ironically this Reign *wasn’t* meant for levels.
Daedalus
2026-02-19 16:58:58 +0000 UTCHe must have been lower level than Simon or his soul gem wouldn’t have crystallised

2026-02-19 16:58:35 +0000 UTCLoved the showing of how strong Simon has grown and how comfortable he is in his class skills. He didn’t even get injured or die. Normally in fights time pauses when people talk but here it seems that 2 minutes passed between the ninja and Simon saying a few words to each other.

2026-02-19 16:34:12 +0000 UTCSo, Simon now knows he has NO IDEA where the spider is keeping the stone. Since every door is a teleport, it could be on another continent. And he didn't die for once! Good job mate! Now focus on getting some friggin progress. It's exhausting him not realizing how much every new ability makes his life easier, and yet he insists on playing detective and obtaining piecemeal progress. Just to lament that if he had the abilities he has now his previous reigns would have gone SO MUCH BETTER. I want to root for him, but him being so bullheaded and not even considering spending a few reigns to gain levels kinda makes me want to slap him unconscious

2026-02-19 16:12:31 +0000 UTCOkay so the lack of powerful protectors at every operation's place is compensated by teleportation network. Too bad there's no message clarifying the killed opponent's levels, I wonder what level the ninja was, by how he thought with a vassal class should be around 60. Also I'm not sure f it was mentioned how long buffs last. He could've used a prayer with Haste before entering arena while still without a class form. Of course if it only last a minute it wouldn't be very useful but if ten minutes or longer then totally a valid option.

2026-02-19 16:04:23 +0000 UTCSimon using 'Countdown' to put a marker above the ninja's head so he could see them was super cool. I love Simon's moments of creativity like that when they appear. It's nice to see the parts of Simon that kept Balzam on his toes/made sure Balzam could never see him coming appear in the true timeline.
SoulCaptain
2026-02-19 15:33:52 +0000 UTCThat's a cool class. Nice dynamic fight. Did Simon grab its crestone? Even if it's not a noble class there is no reason not to at least check out its perks. And he can interrogate the dead ninja about its higher-level perks.

2026-02-19 15:27:09 +0000 UTCMy best guess is that they don't. That pit contains all the leftover "raw material".
Alibhai
2026-02-19 15:21:21 +0000 UTCHe does have access to haste, with his prayers. Which he can't use while he is in his class outfit. I do remember him obtaining chronomancy spells during the church reign, but I don't recall what they were.
Alibhai
2026-02-19 15:19:02 +0000 UTCWell, at least Simon got a Level for the Overlord class from it. Because there is going to be consequences for this. No way the Cobweb isn't going to strike back given how much they lost in this operation.

2026-02-19 15:13:24 +0000 UTCWhat on Earth did they need rotting corpses for?
Publius Decius Mus
2026-02-19 15:01:09 +0000 UTCI guess that demonstrates that Cobweb is one of the larger threats in the setting.

2026-02-19 14:48:54 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter. That cobweb is really annoying and dangerous!

2026-02-19 14:45:20 +0000 UTCReally well done fight, Simon’s weaknesses and strengths are all coming together. Can’t wait for him to be able to cast haste on himself or something else to compensate. There’s no way the overlord has any weaknesses.

2026-02-19 14:35:35 +0000 UTCI'm disappointed the ninja didn't leave behind a tree trunk when he slammed against the door and disappeared
Karim Saadi
2026-02-19 14:29:52 +0000 UTCI love it when Simon pretends to be a demon. Why do a Jester King run when he can do a somehow Mardok returned run!

2026-02-19 14:12:28 +0000 UTCAdditional thoughts: Mage as endgame love interest? I don’t think anyone else in this setting has demonstrated as much of a grasp of the various elements of magic. She figured out Simon was the Overlord as soon as Balzam Magnos’s death became clear, which is frankly kind of ridiculous. She’s a genius. Put her in Lauriane’s facility and give her access to that telescope and I bet she cracks Overlord Vassal stones in a month. Their romance was obviously not meant to be in this arc but holy shit if she ever manages to recover these memories in a time when she’s less politically locked down, I can see it.

2026-02-19 14:04:20 +0000 UTCThe timing is off. Five minutes are too much for this fight and the interrogation.
gostsamo
2026-02-19 14:00:29 +0000 UTCHmm, the Cobweb is more dangerous than I thought. And I was already overestimating then because they did manage to bond a zodiac. Fun times ahead once Simon dedicated a reign to routing them out.
mordante
2026-02-19 13:49:11 +0000 UTCFeels like the beginning of the end for this arc. I like the idea of Simon palling around with the Mage, but stepping on the Cobweb’s toes this hard has not gone well for Simon in the past. My bet is Cobweb sends some of their actual heavy hitters down to Cocagne to find answers. Hopefully Simon gets to eat the Mage Crestone before shit hits the fan. Next arc HAS to be either Justine’s arc or the Cobweb arc at this point, anything else leaves those big threads flapping in the wind.
Dexter Sinister
2026-02-19 13:46:40 +0000 UTCI do not know how effective burying the evidence is, as now that there was something fishy the Mage can intervene, and a few rocks will hardly stop her from excavating all the evidence, and likely even finding out something about the entrance to the teleportation network.
