I tried picking it up where the Anime ended but only got a chapter or 2 in before I stopped. I really enjoyed the anime and want more Fran in my life but just couldn’t get into it at the time.

I would probably recommend reading from the beginning. Or from where you meet Fran. If the LN is a 10/10, the anime is a 6/10 at best. Don't get me wrong, I still love the anime but it waters down a lot of the world-building and character development. And Fran is an amazing character to see develop. Definitely would recommend more Fran in your life!

I was going through Didn’t I say to make my abilities average again.

And I totally forgot about Average Abilities! I loved the anime and always wanted to know more about the world with how the anime had a teaser ending! I might have to check that out now, especially since you've read it twice.

So I’m a Spider, So What? - I would say it’s worth a read

Well, that's another vote for Spider Isekai! Yeah, even with the anime people were upset with the episodes without Spider-chan. The one thing the anime did really well was disguise that there was a time skip. I loved that there were still enough hints about the time-skip that the revelation feels good and mind-blowing. I've also read a bit of the Spider Isekai wiki to know there's a lot more depth to things than what's presented in the anime. As time passes, it does seem less likely we'll get that season 2, which is a shame.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback! Very appreciated!
