jokes on you, i've read up to volume 14. i haven't read anything beyond that because its shit. anything beyond volume 9 are pure ass. the baharuth empire arc is ass. the dwarf country arc is ass, the two holy kingdom arcs are ass, the entire plot of volume 14 is ass, and i'm betting 15 and 16 are also ass too.
overlord reached its peak with the men in the kingdom arc, outside that its just really fucking repetitive and unengaging
>is this about muh stakes
not entire, but it exacerbates the main problem of overlord, in that it only has one trick, ainz does one thing, and then its a landslide of him failing to success, except there isn't even any satisfaction in that because he already starts in a strong position and couldn't go any further, and if it was a political thriller/kingdom building series then it failed at that because nazarick can just freely ignore any political ramifications because they can slap their dick around and everybody would immediately kneel (and thus any political act they do is just theatre, and its not even an interesting theatre), and because it doesn't even engage in the kingdom building.
people will argue that "oh, it's about how the people are being stomped" then make them the fucking protagonists then, i don't like reading another paragraph of ainz acting retarded and then the floor guardians go "sasuga ainz-sama" because of the umpteenth misunderstanding of his words and actions. it was already stale since volume 10.
there's no fucking point to it because there is fundamentally no progress in the story. nothing fundamentally changes about nazarick, the conclusion of the story is foregone, and the execution is haphazard at best
i don't fucking get why people like neia baraja, she's the most generic fucking character in the goddamn series, and I'd rather have the men in the kingdom arc be written fully in the perspective of remedios. i don't give a shit about the blind bonefucker
mynoghra better. that's all i will say
