No offense here Ryou but this build is a bit hideous. No one should be running this build if you want to be more effective in a match.

You have 3 items with lifesteal (Asi, BF, Crimson), on top of Arachne's ability to heal. Any lifesteal is going to strongly counter the features of half of your build. Having 3 lifesteal items also limits the rest of your build. Choose one lifesteal item, 2 is okay if including Serrated Edge, and move on.
You have one crit item. In order to make crits more effective, you want your % chance to be higher, which typically means you want 2 crit items at minimum.
Crits increase effectiveness not only with attack speed (more chances to crit when basic attacking), but they also scale off of power. Odysseus' Bow is great for AS but has 0 power so other items with AS + power are recommended.
Ichaival is maybe an okay item but it's likely a bit underpowered. It's also better as an earlier-game item.
There's no starter item. Maybe that's okay if this is a non-Conquest build, but otherwise it's something that should be in the build.
You're missing functional pen. Yes, both Asi and Ichaival have some flat, but you want a lot more. Typically people go for The Executioner.
A core item for Arachne is typically Qin's Sais, which pairs extremely well with Exe. If you don't have it in here, it's likely because you don't understand the reason why.

Her attack chain is .5/1/1, meaning she's going to get more attacks in (and thus more Qin's passive damage) than the standard god. Qin's should be considered in any full offense, basic attack build where gods have these enhanced attack chains. Kali is another great example.

This is also something that ties in negatively in ways to crits. That first hit is 0.5. This means the crit is only going to multiply off of 1/2 her standard damage. That's still okay if you're getting in multiple hits in a row, but something to understand.

Tons of reasons why this current build is not optimized.

Core items that should probably be included in every build include Exe, Qin's, and maybe Serrated.
Starter items to consider include Eye Of The Jungle and Manikin Scepter.
Functional items include Bloodforge OR Asi, Odysseus' Bow.
If you wanted to consider crit you can consider Rage, Demon Blade, and Deathbringer though I would only get 2 of the 3 with Deathbringer being the 2nd. If you do go for crits, I would not build O-Bow in most situations.
If you don't go crit and you go very high AS, you could consider Silverbranch Bow. Vital Amplifier is another that can potentially pair well with a non-crit high AS build.
For funsies you can consider Hastened Fatalis, though if you know how to fight/engage with Arachne, you usually shouldn't need it due to the slow from Web.
