jfc there was no warning for this bs

I just want to say thank you so much for writing this absolutely amazing story over the years. I've been following from the start, albeit silently, and just reread it for the second time after missing a great many updates. I adore the way you've written everyone, especially the menace that is Tomoe. I want to punch her in the face and also hug her forever, she is a disaster and I love her with my entire heart. I know it's been a *literal decade*, but your work has only improved with age and time. I hope you're doing well in these unhinged times, be safe, and take care of yourself, and most importantly, thank you for this absolute feast of a meal 3

when will u update?

Just binge read your story. I love it, really hope, and cant wait, to read the rest of it soon.

Also, congratulations on getting your original story on kindle! 3

This was incredible. Hope you're doing well

once a year when i'm having a really bad week i like to come back and read spider thread. it's kind of therapeutic in a way even though thus far it's been the slow trainwreck and downfall of tomoe... but watching it unravel, the lovely storytelling and prose, that just makes it calming for me i think. spider thread is just amazing to me, and the perfect example of my ideal oc insert. tomoe is interesting and compelling and honestly such a tragic heroine if we get to it. she's incredibly flawed just as she's incredibly talented, and for someone so selfish she does end up sacrificing her own self for the ones she loves doesn't she? you just have such a beautiful way of writing that i feel like i have in part in my later years been influenced by you across the years i've returned to this fic (and this transient world too for that matter).

this is going to sound a little selfish but i also would like to say that i had to read candide in ap lang err .. 3-4 years ago? wow how time passes... but it totally slipped my mind that you borrowed from voltaire in your fic which kills me a little bc i also used that exact line, best of all possible worlds, in my own fic on a diff website without realizing you did too. i don't know; just a quick aside, but i'm very happy i get to overlap with you in this regard. never liked that buffoon candide much but voltaire had some good lines in there!

anyways, tomoe... what a character. it's been a while since my last desperate reread of this in tough times (which i guess is a good thing) so maybe you've mentioned it somewhere, but i'm pretty sure the title references akutagawa's short story of the same name. the sinner being given one more chance, but unable to climb up that little spider thread and doomed to fall back to hell... seems like a poor omen to me, but even if that were to happen i couldn't fault you. it's been right there in front of our faces fhe whole time.

as a fellow author, i'm strongly against the idea of urging people to update. you have real life to tend to, and interest wanes as it tends to do over time. you owe no one your effort and time to update. but as a reader, a little selfish voice in the back of my mind wants to ask that of you anyways. i'll compromise; i hope that if your life works out well, you can come back to finish off this lovely masterpiece. and if not; i'll be back for my annual reread regardless. it's been long enough that i've gone off to college myself, maybe longer still that i'll graduate in two years, but i don't think i'm ready to let go of tomoe yet. i'll always be here, regardless.

I love it! Super hyped to see what comes next. Your character development of Tomoe is so good. I love her and hate her at the same time. Never had that with a main character before. You're an amazing writer! Keep at it!

Please update

Is her dad Fugaku?

Is fugaku the father?
