#OVERLORD NOVEL SERIES#
Hopefully something happens in the next novel or two, or I might not make it to the end of the series run.more 1, only far less interesting and with far less character development. I honestly only keep reading at this point on the offhand hopes that something, anything, happens in this story.īut I am afraid by the time the series finishes, it will be a disappointment, one where not a lot has happened, everything the series has been building up to is nothing, and Ainz is basically Saitama from One-Punch Man, Vol.

All that is left is what now feels like a dying plant, withered and dry. Hints about another player that were planted ages ago haven't born any fruit. Some kind of antagonist should have been introduced long ago, and it hasn't. We are eleven books in now and it honestly feels like the author has lost his steam and desire to keep writing. It makes for some very, very boring reading. Gone are the battles where you get to watch struggles and Ainz learning about his opponents, studying them, drawing things out. Here, a far stronger being, warrants one sentence. Ainz has faced weaker beings in earlier books and had the fights drawn out for multiple pages. It was easily one of the most disappointing things in this book. And the ONE thing that could have possibly been a challenge, something they hype up as a possible antagonist. Something to make the story interesting, something to FINALLY drive the story forward, something for Ainz to push against. Maybe, just maybe, there would be something to challenge Ainz in this book. Ainz has faced weaker beings in earlie *sigh*
