![]() This power fantasy story stands out in the genre due its massive cast, intricate world building, and strategic conflict. I'd say the world building and the character design itself is good and if you are a fan of power-trips, this light novel is definitely for you.There have been numerous isekai series over the past few years, and among the most popular of them is Overlord. The main character is described as acting only with his own interests in mind and that is a trait that can really make a character deep.īut does the author really need to fill prologues/epilogues with these words over and over again in order for the reader to get it? ![]() The MC simply starts at the top and stays there. The MC goes against his traits and does irrational things just to have more power-trips (a.k.a. There is almost no character development and ironically the antagonists get most of it. Just like in many works with an overpowered main character, the focus shifts away from the MC. Now repeat this over and over again with different characters and minor variations and you can see how it This new character then goes on to have a power-trip destroying the good (or bad) guys until he is met with a similar fate. It goes something like this: a new character is introduced. ![]() Its only goal is to create as many of them as possible.Įvery character has a set place in this hierarchy and on top of it is our main character Ainz. The story is based on what I like to call the pyramid of power-trips. You can describe this light novel with one word: a power-trip. Overall this is definitely one of my favorite reads and is definitely a great piece of fiction. While this novel is not primarily an action novel, when there are fights with the main characters and the world, It always is amazing. ![]() The world building in this show is absolutely amazing and detailed. Of course the protagonist isn’t evil or not even cut out to be an “OVERLORD” that his subordinates see him as, so he mostly goes along with whatever his subordinates think, and because his subordinates are all evil, this isn’t very good for the people of this new world. Now in this actual real fantasy medieval world, it shows what happens when an evil force threatens the world and how the characters react and deal with these unstoppable beings that appeared. The guild and Ainz were known for being an unstoppable force in game and no one would try to attack them. So the NPC`s are all loyal to the “supreme being” that is Ainz. When the NPC’s get transported with him, they gain their own consciousness but take after their fake backstory that was written in game. A synopsis of this show would be the protagonist is spending their last day inside a D&D futuristic type game, but during the closing hours of the final moments of the game, the protagonist Ainz gets transported to a very real medieval fantasy type parallel world as his game character (an elder lich skeleton) and his game guild base and loyal NPC’s get transported along with him. The world building and characters in OVERLORD go in depth and are entertaining to the point you could sit there and read these characters doing nothing for an hour but talk and it would still be interesting seeing them interact with one another. I need to see stuff playing like shows, movies, or at the very least visual comics, or so I thought because when reading the actual source materials for these shows I was very engrossed into everything and everything is more in The main reason I don’t like reading is because I don’t really have the most patient attention span. But when you watch a show that is so good and enjoyable you want to read the source material. In general reading isn’t something I like all too much.
