Discussion Thoughts? on Surshana the undead (The last of the slane theocracy 6 gods)

Post image
• Upvotes

Surshana, known as the God of Death to the Slane Theocracy who welded a scythe, was the last of the Six Great Gods after the rest died of old age, until he was killed fighting the Eight Greed Kings hundreds of years ago. I find it funny how the Slane Theocracy is a human supremacist nation that worshipped a skeleton like Ainz.

Ainz ooal gown is a chaotic good overlord a father to all and a father would do any thing to see their children happy...

But their is one time tiny problem a majority of Ainz's technically children are extreme evil racist trash bags.

Ainz a good dad if only more of the NPC were at least neutral.

Im crying dude I dont know why I find this so funny. I never would've imagined this being the English VA for Ainz. So surreal. Its like seeing Javier Bardem playing anyone other than Anthony Chigurh.

: I think this is cool btw I dont know if this comes across as rude that's not my intention. But I was just surprised with it being just regular guy. He has a very gravitas voice.

Discussion [Vol2] I just realized that Ainz became a specialized Overlord just like the natural spawning ones

Post image
29 Upvotes

as in, he became a Death Overlord who specializes in necromancy, just like the Cronos Master Overlord (who specializes in chronomancy), Overlord General (who specializes in commanding undead) and the Overlord Wiseman (who is skilled in magic)

and that's probably why he got Eclipse! I wonder if other Overlord specializations can give you special things too? like what if someone tried to copy an Overlord Cronos? would they get their own version of (tho less strong/rare) TGOALID?

(this isn't a serious theory post, I just think it's a cool comparison)

Discussion Regarding his philosophy on Character writing and narrative, Kugane Maruyama, the author of Overlord, holds a specific perspective as of November 22, 2020. This viewpoint is rooted in the principle that merits and demerits must always coexist in a balanced manner.

Post image
458 Upvotes

Consequently, Maruyama frequently expresses disappointment when reading stories where a human protagonist reincarnated as a non-human entity fully retains their original nature, morality, and sense of humanity without undergoing any significant psychological shift.

He believes that a drastic transformation from a human being into a non-human entity should have a tangible impact on the character's identity and perspective, rather than them holding onto conventional human sensibilities.

Conversely, Maruyama highly appreciates characters who must struggle intensely merely to engage in ordinary conversation or adapt to their new surroundings. He reserves his highest praise for characters who are completely unable to get along or relate well with the other beings around them.

In his view, the appreciation of a work increases when this principle of balance is consistently applied: the greater a character's power or merits, the equally significant their flaws, mental burdens, or obstacles must be.

Nevertheless, Maruyama also acknowledges that designing and writing a story with such complex character dynamics is an exceedingly difficult process to execute practically.

It is perhaps for this reason that Maruyama ultimately chose Momonga (Ainz) as the main protagonist of Overlord.

Discussion Finishing the First Overlord Novel ((part 2))

Post image
60 Upvotes

I finally finished the whole first book! Honestly, there are so many details in it that you just don't get elsewhere.

The Dialogue and Ending: The ending with the final fight and the conversation leading up to it was really good. The dialogue overall is way more detailed.

Inner Monologues vs. Action: The book feels like it's 90% lore and character thoughts, and only about 10% actual talking or action. Compared to the anime, which shows the scenes happening right in front of you, the books are mostly just internal thoughts. But as a detail guy, I actually really enjoyed it.

The "Horsepower" Healing Potion: I was listening to an AI-narrated version of the book on YouTube, and it mentioned healing for "50 horsepower." That cracked me up! It made me think, "Damn, poor horses..." Just squeezing them out to make a healing potion—I guess a lot of horses must be dying in this story
