I was watching Anime for a long time already, picked up a manga here and there but I didn't really enjoy them. It felt like there was so little story and I could finish one in under an hour. So I gave up on Manga.

I watched So I'm a Spider, So What?/ Kumo desu ga, nani ka? when it started airing and it hooked me instantly. Her character. The world. The comedy. Everything. (Except the humans...).

Once it was over, I wanted more. And since everyone kept saying the Light Novel is way better, especially the human side, I bought the first 3 volumes.

It was amazing. I binge read them until I had to wait for the English releases. Right now I'm waiting for vol. 16 to be available again so I can finish this series.

I am not sure how I got into light novels. I have been reading manga for a long time so at some point light novels were mixed in.

Spider was one of the first ones I got super excited about. Before the anime was announced I was collecting the manga, and the light novel was on sale so I picked up the first volume. Then the second. And before the week was out I was completely obsessed scrambling to get my hands on all of the available English releases.
