There's a lot of glowing reviews for this, so here's a more grounded one. The story starts of pretty great actually, but then you notice that not only does the pre-NewWorld arc stretch for far too long, but it is also completely pointless because a) there's next to none interaction of MC with Nazarik's original denizens, which would be the only good reason for having a prolonged Yggdrasil arc (this is further exacerbated with OCs eating screen time of others), b) protagonist's preparations are frankly ridiculous - due to exploiting every bug, getting chummy with the devs and plain plot armor, he becomes *so* pointlessly OP with his stats, hundred extra levels and infinite glitch duped world items, that Ainz looks like a lvl.1 scrub in comparison. And what do we get after all this preparation and all of MC's megalomaniacal claims of becoming a Biggus-Dickus-Eternal-Godking-Emperor-Insert-Even-More-Nouns?... Nothing, really. He kinda just simps for Momonga by giving him *everything* and brainwashing everyone into loving him, then he takes his two OC girl, retreats into his hikki NEET coomer den and doesn't involve himself with the plot or the rest of the cast in the slightest for the rest of the story. Why is this the way it is? I don't know.

I find this fanfiction beautiful, I think it really catches the essence of overlord. The world before the transport is well described and the story is amazing, I find it more of a subtle self in sert that's not really that OP. I love it it a would recommend it to other overlord fans too. Towards the games shutdown to got me personally really emotionally (almost cried). I read overlord (got 13 books) so some of the emotions the MC feels and momonga I think I understand. Its a beautiful story and love everything the author has written so thank you author.

Good story, Not many grammar mistakes, I think… at least I know it’s readable so yeah. No updates, just saying… I want more though. Fairly l good development, the devs are nice I like how ko interacts with them. Characters aren’t too 2D, not super amazing but better that average, most definitely not bad. Background is cool. Though it doesn’t really explain his life in og world. Small snippets to get the general view I guess So yeah… it’s nice just no more updates and stuff

it tells the story as if the mc is a catastrophe and is so evil, that the inhabitants of nazarick look very kind and guard the world from mc disaster, which even mc hasn't done yet.... the author, did you know, nazarick is the abode of the undead and the monsters that almost all of the inhabitants hate humans...
