I enjoyed volumes 4-6 for what they were, but overall Overlord desperately need an enemy that can oppose Ainz on some level or this is going to get stale.

Only seen much about them on the wiki but the new world dragons are much weaker than Yggdrasil raid boss dragons. Anyone who's read the Web Novel can point out where I've gone wrong here as it's based on summaries of the web novel and scattered parts of the translated LN's. The True Dragon Lords were killed by the Eight Greed kings, a previous guild of players who conquered the entire world 500 years before the arrival of Nazarick. The Greed Kings then killed each other and their civilisation fell into ruins apart from their items and guild city which is still protected by 30 Guardian NPC's and the "new" Platinum Dragon Lord. Platinum and the other new Dragon Lords are much weaker than the original TDL's and believe Yggdrasil players to be the greatest threat seen in the new world. Many of the more powerful magical weapons in the world come from the Greed King's city such as Brain's katana and the Nameless Spellbook which may be a world class item. Platinum and Evileye/Landfall were members of the Thirteen Heroes, lead by two players. The leader killed the other player and died of his wounds, refusing resurrection which effectively disbanded the group. The other group from 600 years before Nazarick was the Six Gods who seemingly died of old age and are worshipped by the Slane Theorcracy. They brought magic scaling to the world and corrupted the old system of Wild Magic used by the dragons. It also appears that the Six Gods were only capable of level 6 magic while the two players of Thirteen Heroes were limited to level 5 magic. Considering Nazarick has multiple casters capable of level 10 magic, many of them are immune to ageing, and large scale infighting is unlikely, they seem to be sitting on top of the power curve.

Overlord BD vol 1 has sold over 10k copies now, making it quite a hit, and considering how much the novels sold as a result of the adaptation, we'll probably be seeing a second season. Some day.

I doubt they'll skip an entire volume, no matter what our reaction to that one is. If they run at the same pace as this season though it'll probably only go Vol 4-6 anyway, which would be a good stopping point. I finally saw the last episode yesterday, and it was pretty good. I was expecting less given the reactions from this thread. Better at least than the one or two that came before it, though not as good as the LN's depiction of the events.

I despise hulu and funimation but I am checking out this series. Nice to see a new take on 'video game becomes real'. Especially because I love games where you play as the villain.

Volume 7 is pretty important, but it basically boils down to is that "Foresight" is full of really good people, and Ainz is a really sad, pathetic person. It really drives home what an utter loser Ainz is, but a better writer could have done in a chapter what Maruyama used an entire book on.

The idea is a good one both story-wise(Nazarick revealing itself to the world with a show of power) and character development wise(these normal humans get brutally murdered in part because they made Ainz mad about the fact that his video game friends deserted him), but it's needlessly bloated and took up a lot of space that could be used on other stuff.

They are just regular fictional humans. But yeah, fictional characters have to earn sympathy. Just saying "here is a girl, she is nice", and then spending a couple pages on how she is tortured and dismembered makes me disgusted at the author, not sympathetic toward that character.

It's actually a reversal on the Prisoner Dilemma(humans are the baby orcs, the viewers are the paladin and Ainz is the chaotic neutral rogue, willing to slit their throats to avoid the problem), which in D&D circles is fairly well known and hotly debated. There is a reason why the advice for DM's is to generally avoid it without good reason. I don't know if it demonstrates awareness or incompetence to bring it into his novel.

Human females were naturally attracted to the strong. When threatened by a powerful outside force, it triggered their natural instinct to join with a strong male and bear his children. hell yea Maruyama is actually h-artist Fatalpulse

Kind of a problem when you're talking about publishing Volume 1 in English sometime in 2016 when we're currently on Volume 9. Yeah sure, I'll just put my enjoyment of this franchise on hold for 3 years until you catch up to where we are now. Maybe they'll let it go this time though? It sure as poo poo didn't help Log Horizon any. e2: They're also the people who saw this cover:  And were like "That's good, but do you know what would REALLY move some units?" and went with this instead:  So, literally retarded Vengarr fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Oct 10, 2015 |

Gaj posted:What was that very last thing Shaltear saw before Ains blew her away? Was it something the cross dressing elf did? Edit: Reading the light novel more. I actually really like how Brain goes from being completely broken to realizing that just because he can't touch literal god-like beings that there's still a point to getting better- and how happy he was just to chip Shalltear's nail. That was pretty cool. I'm sure he dies hideously or in like 2 seconds later when he slightly annoys Ainz but whatever. I'm reading the Tomb Invaders now and yeah wow this is a really lame buildup to make us feel bad for the workers when they inevitably get utterly slaughtered down to the last man. I like that they had to even make everyone ghetto-adventurer class where they're basically looked at like cannon fodder to begin with in addition to Foresight being nice people, everymen, or having sad background stories. The only thing that's even remotely interesting is that Ainz questions them obviously for the purpose of making sure they're not being pressured or forced into going into what he knows is a horrible death...but again his best intentions fail because he can't feel emotions very well anymore and he's an utter dipshit that doesn't understand that people can really be desperate for money for very depressing reasons (that they obviously wouldn't share with a random adventurer, even an adamantite level one). Edit Edit: Okay yeah what is the point of this invader chapter again? It's a bunch of punk-level workers getting mowed down by the freebie summons made by the dungeon. What info could Ainz possibly get from this? Fabricated fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Oct 12, 2015 |

The only real point of that entire volume was "Nazarick is now on the map, and it just wasted some serious adventurers who are willing to go past the limit." Basically, both his position and their announcement of conquering the world started in this. I suppose there might be some use of that one lady in Worker team(past volume 10 or so), but otherwise, it was just an attempt to Game of Thronesing it up a notch.
