I could hardly put this volume down。 This light novel is a continuation from the previous books arc and handles it's mass of scenes very well。 There are exciting bits of exposition dumps that finally reveal a good amount of what might be going on during this entry， but it still leaves you in the dark enough to speculate about what's to come。 The volume contains a lot of engaging action sequences and I feel handles the readers interest level in them masterfully。 For a book that contains a massive I could hardly put this volume down。 This light novel is a continuation from the previous books arc and handles it's mass of scenes very well。 There are exciting bits of exposition dumps that finally reveal a good amount of what might be going on during this entry， but it still leaves you in the dark enough to speculate about what's to come。 The volume contains a lot of engaging action sequences and I feel handles the readers interest level in them masterfully。 For a book that contains a massive power gap between the MC and normal characters one would expect to get bored， but that is not the case at all。 The author has intertwined the different character arcs in a way to show a great contrast as well as keep the stakes high the entire way throughout the process。 In the end， I can't really fault this book for anything other than it's constant use of certain phrases， but I can't determine whether that is just something that gets through the translation process。 "Fell like a puppet with it's strings cut" This is one you'll start laughing at once it's brought up for the 'nth time。 This is such a minor thing， that I didn't mind it at all and it doesn't detract from the story or take you out of it too much。 My final thoughts are that if you've made it this far through the series， there's no point to have this review because you'll be wanting to finish the arc， at very least。 I'm only writing to let you know that this series is only getting better as time goes by and I can only hope that Maruyama keeps at his current pace。 Maruyama is truly a wonder to be able to write these lengthy novels in such a short amount of time， and I'm truly thankful for his magnificent labors。 I'd be lying if I said that my fingers didn't itch to pick up the next volume and start devouring it even as I write this short review。 。。。more

Finaliza la batalla campal con toda la cantidad de frentes distintos que había abiertos。 Una novela que se sale de todos los tópicos pero que consigue una trama épica。

A great demonstration as to why typical heroic narratives have the absurdly powerful mentor figure drop out of the story， while still maintaining tension and mystery throughout。

I always enjoy Overlord and this one follow the arc of Sebas Tian in the Kingdom， the las one was shocking and really makes you lose fate in humanity and in this one it’s so satisfying to see those guys getting hammered by Nasarick， the story then follows Evil eye and her adventurer friends against Entoma and I felt for both sides， Entoma is from Nazarick and she was doing something horrible by normal standars so the conflict arose， under orders they were doing something good but the very nature I always enjoy Overlord and this one follow the arc of Sebas Tian in the Kingdom， the las one was shocking and really makes you lose fate in humanity and in this one it’s so satisfying to see those guys getting hammered by Nasarick， the story then follows Evil eye and her adventurer friends against Entoma and I felt for both sides， Entoma is from Nazarick and she was doing something horrible by normal standars so the conflict arose， under orders they were doing something good but the very nature of them was conflicting， you know that the adventures are right to face her yet I felt anger just as Momon did when he found out。 Then for the crescendo and final act there’s an invasion at the capital and a show of power between the black hero and this super strong demon while behind curtains there’s something bigger happening there。 。。。more
