    why is no one talking about how absurd it is that he was wanting for him?

    "You think you can take on three of us?" Rylee said.

    he ain't a moster at all. where have you reached in the book so far. Is the plot armor still so weak??

    Quinn was not sure he could do what the system was demanding of him. There was this moral binding, his last shred of humanity that held him back from completely turning into a beast.

    I pray that the plot armor won't continue being this weakđŸ˜©

    Ironically, while Quinn had been busy stalking Rylee and his friends, he completely ignored the only other person in the store, Layla.

    Why does Sunny seem to think that the great clans owe him or humanity anything? I mean as an organisation they're only liable for the good of themself. When Sunny was told he lacked perspective I was pretty happy with that. Anyway, just rumbling. Am so happy you reverted to your old formula BTW @guiltythree. Thank you for giving us such an experience

    No, I don't have a problem dropping something of it betrays me. It hurts, but I'll still drop it. Overlord ticks all the boxes for me

    Perhaps there is some bias in how I view Overlord since it was the first light novel I ever read. But i still find the main character, Ainz, very relatable as a character . His words and actions aline (unlike Sunny). As well as his character despite the moral quagmire he often is in. The author doesn't try to please everybody by splitting the MCs character. He remains true to his goals and character. For example, He understands that despite everything, this is a game world ( cough* Cough* SAO cough*) and the thing closest to reality, the things that are most dear to him in this game world, is the legacy left behind by his friends( namely Nazarick and the inhabitants). So he doesn't try to destroy the sanctity of their characters too. That is, despite how cruel, evil or weird the members of Nazarick may be, he will not try to change them. In many works especially anime the nature of many non-human characters are often made to conform to human rules. Something i often find wanting. A scorpion is meant to sting and so it will. Overlord doesn't do this, the characters always conform to their characters. This applies to many of the other characters. They are so unique. A fat Prince who tries to  usurp the throne from his kind father but instead of him being a total asshole he actually has a very valiant heart, a cute princess who appears kind on the outside but she is very Calculating, manipulative but also not evil or a total manic like those seen in revenge animes (e.g re-do of healer). Most of the characters in Overlord are so fleshed out, it reminds me of the Game of thrones characters. Basically, the characters feel so real, some you love,  some you understand and some you hate but still and understand where theyre coming from and other you just want to send straight to hell. And these can be both in the MCs side or the other sides. Its balanced, the MCs side does some atrocities but so do the other side. The MCs side does some good things but so does the other side. No side is completely evil or good(Just like in reality). The politics, too, is very well thought out. Not the tropes where we have foolish royalty who do stupid things for no reason (like in rise of the shield hero) and are still able to remain in power with a functioning kingdom. Most of the leaders in Overlord reflect how politics really is. A dirty game with no regard for the common man. A fight between wits where the moment you stumble once, the other party devours you and your people whole. I could go on and on about how great Overlord is but am afraid it'll only bore you. What don't you like about Overlord?

    no way, Harems generally degrade the Characters in a story. Pl

    He might have 'reservations' but what he says and does create a really huge gap. He claims to have reservations but when it actually matter you see He deeply cares for her. Also, Sunny is not a blank book. This is someone who has lived in the slums for his entire life and for the better part of it, as an orphan. To survive that long in the conditions described by the author, alone especially, you expexlct certain behaviors. Being witty for one, which he is, Calculating, which he is and lastly not very trusting or forgiving, who he even mentions quite a few times in the course of the book. Also, he is not very likely to aggravate the big powers in the world which from the way Sunny was behaving (before the ball) most likely suggested that he would be in it with his Master. All this l, feels like a gross violation of Sunny's character, which I think the author probably noticed (I apologize if am being to presumptuous) and corrected it. The way the story is before the ball and and the previous 50 or so chapters are drastically different. Also when I did write the follow up 'review' I did so with a lot sorrow. I was so sad that a novel I loved so much (second only to Overlord) was going down the same path of harem or wimpy MC tropes where there is no form of actual charcter development and the Character just seems synthetic , a perfect guy with a penchant for collecting women, basically a made up character. A character that reminds us that constantly reminds us that this character is made up. Sunny for the better part of the novel was not like that, Sunny feels real for the most part. He behaves in character most times, and so do the other characters in the novel but during the period I was batching about, those characters blurred out but now they seem to be getting clear again. I am not attacking anyone, just a review I was writing and am happy someone read through and gave a reasonable counter.

    so that I try not to spoil for anyone. THe police basically just commands sunny to do everything. Sunny has no control over who comes into his home even of they're destroying it. And lastly the female characters were definitely changing him. Like what he did to that transcended after all she did to her. Sparing his close 'betrayer' even if it cost him everything. In contrast to how Sunny was in the beginning, where he wouldn't be so quick to forgive something like that. A more Sunny reactions is what he did with his Slaver later on and rejected her. That would have been a more fitting response to his close 'betrayer'. But, the author seems to have gotten his groove back cause Sunny's latest expedition around chapters 800+ gives me hope. I can't say 100% that it's back cause I haven't seen Sunny being put between a rock and a hard place yet. But I do have hope that this book is going back to how it was. The fleshed out characters, the tough choices that have to be really made and not just solved by the power of friendship or tye Charcters doing things that are very put of character for the ladies.
