Sentient spiders and uploaded human consciousness in a story that spans 10,000+ years. I’m in.

The setup was interesting enough. Building that was enough for a while. But after that was established, there's not much character development going on here. The sentient spiders on the new world are more interesting than the humans. Lots of conflict & fighting with both the humans and the spiders. Started wondering if this was worth sticking with at 20%, gave up at 33%.
