@Straforel I think it's supposed to be a typical Japanese comedy dynamic, like one being the foolish one and one being the straight man

This whole "body in charge" / "information in charge" parallel will nonsense is where this story starts getting completely incomprehensible. Seriously, anything to do with the parallel will stuff is just instant stupidity...
@Straforel : "Boke and Tsukkomi" are the two roles in traditional Manzai "comedy". I use the term "comedy" loosely as it really isn't very funny. Basically the boke does or says stupid shit and the tsukkomi screams about what the boke is doing and hits him (usually him) for it. While on the surface it might seem like something akin to Laurel & Hardy or maybe even Ren & Stimpy... in practice it tends to fall flat because there is no more substance to it than just idiocy and outrage playing off each other.
Basically any situation in manga, anime or anything Japanese where someone says / does something stupid and someone else starts shouting about the stupid things... they're trying to do Manzai. And some series just do it constantly to the extent that there really is nothing else.

@SotiCoto having read the original WN, this is whereabouts the story switches away from a relatively simple survival story with mystery and adventure into batshit bonkers. Honestly, the depiction of what "detection" does here in the manga has nothing on what the WN described it as being. The reason detection, and this is small spoilers, was causing headaches to Kumoko was because she was literally detecting every living and non-living object around her in the biggest, most cram packed dungeon in the world.

@boorishtiger : I kinda gathered that. She has no filters on it. I can relate.
