The spider fear was supposed to be used much later on when the reader went to Muffet's bakery while in Mount Glenn later on down the road but then I realized with the current cast of characters, 2 people would be left out so I tossed in Mew Mew and Muffet, after that it was just bad luck (or good luck considering the mini character arc I made) that got the reader and muffet as not only team mates but partners.
It's why the reader complains about the bad luck evey now and then because all of the teams were just rolls of the dice, only team I intentionally put together was just Eleanor and Delta because plot reasons. I mean even the battle choices were all dice rolls, first using all 23 options then using the 3 candidates with Muffet being the winner again. (Seriously, if I rolled a dice for the romance option, I'm almost scared it will turn out as Muffet again since the dice seem to favor her so much)
Anyways, if you want to ensure you don't miss anything you can follow me and I always announce when the next chapter is out so you'll get a notification about it.
Also, if you want to see the reader get with someone in specific you can vote on the romance option chapter, right now Monika is running uncontested and I'm nearly to volume 2 so Monika might become the story's waifu until something happens.
