Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha for providing me with a review copy.

Well I knew this was going to be dark, but honestly was surprised by some of the more lighter moments that would interrupt unexpectedly. 

A young woman who spent a long time playing an RTS commanding Arachnea, suddenly awakens in a world faced with hundreds of actual arachnea monsters in front of her. They are collectively calling her their queen. Faced with uncertain circumstances, she jumps right in and accepts the position.

I expected off the bat to just see her go all in on the killing, but this book actually has her thinking strategically. When faced with an elven town, the spiders are ready to kill, but she has other plans. She saves an elven pair from slave traders and uses that as an in for trading. The killing is super grotesque as she commands the spiders, but then sometimes you'll see her tie a ribbon on a spider's leg affectionately, or her knight gleam with happiness and pride. These are the lighter moments that kept this manga from delving in to nothing but non-stop violence. 

Overall I was expecting to find it too violent for my tastes, but before I knew it, the volume reached its end and I just wanted to read more. I'll definitely check out future volumes, and now plan to read the light novel series as well.
