This is a bit of a tangent, but: you missed an important point in that book with some broad implications. Those weren't the spiders' names, those were the translators' deliberately humanized names for the spiders.
(And, to bring the discussion back home: no language model would have ever come up with a clever narrative trick like this.)
- ben_w 3y agoI didn't miss it ;) Just because it had a good in-universe reason didn't stop it being grating.
