Overlord, Vol. 3 - light novel Hardcover – Illustrated, January 31, 2017

I'm a fan of the series. I picked up the light novels for a few reasons. One, my wife can't criticize what she can't see. Two, being an older reader, I grew up on BBS systems online before the internet was big and played things called MUDs which were text based online RPGs. So growing up, I had a big impression on dungeons and dragons and things like that. This series, for various reasons, is nostalgic to me. Seeing the character go from the real world to the other and taking on his character, I suppose we all wish that when we watch our heroes I guess. But reading the light novels vs watching the anime is so much more immersive and first person. I know they're not top shelf reading material or anything. But, like playing your favorite game over and over there is something comfortable and soothing reading this particular series. Like a warm blanket and having your favorite drink. Like the never ending story kid who was reading the book and became part of the story. Something along those lines I would guess. Anyways, worth the time. And always good to support these types of venue by purchasing rather than pirating.

If you’re here thinking about whether or not you should get the rest of the series just do it. It’s such a clean looking series for you book shelf with books that you will actually want to continue reading.If you’re a fan of dark fantasy like dark souls, but you’re also a fan of protagonists that are simultaneously cool and unintentionally hilarious like Sir Daniel Fortesque, then this is the series for you. The writing, character personality, character development, character design, plot and setting all get five stars from me. I’ve been a fan of this series since I first saw the anime when it released and I immediately went and got all of the light novels and manga to experience the story in as many different ways as possible. Overlord is the best. Glory to Ainz Ooal Gown!

I'm currently in the middle of reading volume 2, but I already know the book's content will be great. It's how I received the book that's gotten me ticked off a bit. I bought the book new but the cover has a slight rip and has been crinkled. Other than that, it was a quick delivery as promised and every other part of the book seems like it's in good condition.

Bought this as a gift. Everything was as described and arrived early. We haven’t heard anything negative from the recipient so you get 5 stars from us. We will update the review should we hear anything else regarding this purchase.

I'm currently a few chapters in and I just love how gruesome and cold the Nazarick folks are. It's very cool to have protagonists that are actually the villains of their world. My favorite part so far is the carriage ambush!

This is a recommended read if you want better detail than what you get from the anime. Part of the anime season 1 ending is on vol. 4 light novel, so if you want all the fine details of anime s1, you have to read that one as well.

The writing is amazing. The pacing was perfect. I have watched the anime and read the manga, but the light novel brought a level of detail the other two mediums lacked. I'm in awe of how much I was drawn into the story and can't wait to read the next one.

Definitely a good read lots of great horror, gore, suspense, and action. Especially with the last chapter of the volume.

I’m really enjoying this series as it goes on. Ainz faces his most difficult challenge yet and new characters in Nazarick get their chance to shine. Shalltear is a character that is equal parts hilarious and downright terrifying!

Ainz-sama delivers the pain to the mind controlled Shalltear on a 1vs1 battle. Know that Shalltear is considered as a raidboss and Ainz did it with no help from a teammate. Truly this is why he is the leader of the guild. Now onto the next volume.

Phenomenal series, well written

Nothing to dislike

Great LN highly recomend it 4 those who like games and fantasy genres
