Overlord

It's essentially a SoL anime about salaryman thrust into a position of power, one gets tired of trying to make epic scenes out of nothing, and Demiurge can only say sasuga ainz-sama so many times before it starts getting boring

To get inspirations for new keikaku and characters

He... doesn't look like the type of person that would swim. Honestly, I don't think he could even float.

I'm still mad about the wasted potential.

He's working on Elden Ring, he probably just lost all motivation to write the books after seeing the televised fanfiction version of his notes. It's probably the same type of feeling game developers get when fucking MatPat does a Game Theory on their shit and all of a sudden the hype is dead. Predictions going ahead of source material are a death sentence in all forms of media

I miss the frequent Overlord threads. I wish the author wasn't such a manchild.

It's lose/lose situation, he could just pull out a "the sun told me to burn everything" route on his series and just fuck off to working on his normal job again

I mean, it's more for better than for worse, right? I didn't even read the latest volume because it's gotten so utterly mundane. 12 and 13 had basically nothing happen at all except more "literally who cares" nations getting toppled with the ease of a jenga tower.

Wait, I think I meant 11 and 12. 11 was the pointless dwarf adventures where no meaningful events happened whatsoever, right?

Sentience reference to a creatures capability to feel and perceive the world subjectively, while sapience refers to a creatures ability to be self aware. A cat has a high degree of sentients but it wont be spewing philosophy any time soon.

buy the things, even if he stops Yen Press will not stop the money train, ghostwriters are a thing in Japan right?

Yes but hes using it as an excuse bc he wanted to stop for a while now. Hes an ass.

He doesn't seem rich, I think he fucked up and sold some overlord IP too early now he doesn't get much money from the books.
Seem it will end at vol 16 or 17.
Whether it continues beyond is unknown, I rather kadokawa buy it off and let the editor continue it with maruyama giving guidance.

Togashi is still writing and is still motivated, he's just slow as balls. Maruyama literally doesn't want to do Overlord anymore.

just end it as Touch Me bitch slapping everyone

>and rapes

It isn't confirmed that he'll stop writing, as he said he wanted to write about high school wrestling, but he plans to end Overlord someone between vol. 16~18.
Are you retarded? He has mentioned how he's lost motivation for Overlord multiple times across the years. The fans trans thing is a different thing entirely. Piraters like to deny it, but for series that have fantrans, it actively detracts from official sources and makes them sell less. It's the same meme as paying artists in exposure. This was never about pirating though. He knew about fantrans for years and didn't particularly care, he was annoyed at some exclusives getting translated.
He is most definitely rich. 13 novels, 4 seasons, a gacha game and some others.

>Piraters like to deny it, but for series that have fantrans, it actively detracts from official sources and makes them sell less. It's the same meme as paying artists in exposure.
How is it a meme when you have famous authors trying it as an experiment with it succeeding, as well as the EU having done studies, finding the studies literally resulting in piracy having no effect, and having covered up the studies for 7 whole years before being found out by people? If these studies were full of shit, why not just denounce them? Why cover them up? They spend millions for these studies, do you think they just threw that money down the drain randomly?

The fact that DRM games have not been shown to outsell non-DRM games all these years says it all. In fact in many DRM game cases it even made the sales worse than their predecessors.

>it actively detracts from official sources and makes them sell less

maybe nips should stop being retarded and thinking people will happily wait years for translations for a popular series when they are hundreds of people that are willing to translate for free weeks after novel release.

user that's like saying people who try out food in cosco would have bought those foods if there was no demo instead of just eating and moving on since they got to try it for free, you underestimate how many alternatives there are out there, only by deeply investing in a product would the average consumer gain loyalty to it and be willing to unconditionally fork out cash there's good reason light novels only took off in the west after piracy became wide spread

>Piraters like to deny it, but for series that have fantrans, it actively detracts from official sources and makes them sell less

It both detracts and attracts and you have no idea which effect will be bigger.

He can live off his work, so no.
>The fact that DRM games have not been shown to outsell non-DRM games all these years says it all. In fact in many DRM game cases it even made the sales worse than their predecessors.
It's not a valid comparison.

Watched the 3 seasons and really didn't like it (I watch popular animes just for culture even if I don't like them)

I'd like to know, what is good in Overlord ? I don't care about the too strong part, I find the background too blurry, no characters depth, "masterplan" way too plain, overall bad shonen dialogues and scenes ...

So please guys, what am I missing ? I don't have much expectations in animes I watch, I even like Fairy Tail and OPM ...

>Watched the 3 seasons and really didn't like it
No wonder.
t. re-read each volume at least three times and never finished S3

I don't think he's some kind of literary god or that he would've produced an unparalleled masterpiece if left to his own devices or anything, but even retards can see how increasingly fucked the adaptation gets relative to his own narrative. There's a wealth of lost potential and shitposting, I wouldn't be surprised if he just doesn't give a shit anymore and doesn't intend on releasing that book at all, at least in a really well-thought-out state.

Calca is dead and crispy

I wonder if all the insulting abuse Calca and later her corpse went through was Demiurge's idea or if the Wrath demon(s) came up with it on their own.

I don't think it was Demiurge's idea, remember is he is the guy that runs the happy farm, where it is implied that there are also breeding experiments between demihumans and humans.
So I don't think he would have wasted a magic caster of the 4th-tier magic.

She's fine at the happy farm

>I wonder if all the insulting abuse Calca and later her corpse went through was Demiurge's idea or if the Wrath demon(s) came up with it on their own.
Is this fanfiction or actually happened in the LN?

How?
I wonder if it's possible to clone someone by cutting a body part and then casting a heal magic on it.
Imagine calca getting cut in half and healing both would we get two Calcas?

I'm not really going to entertain someone who thinks piracy is positive. I've got better things to do, like browse this board. Instead, I'll just quote the founder of JNC (pretty big LN publisher)
>I don't want to be misquoted here, so let me clarify: From our data, series that have finished fan translations that have been out there for a while, or series where the fan translation have been consistently released and are caught up to the Japanese release see depressed sales.

Also, the quality and consistency of the fan translation matters a lot.

As a concrete example, we've sold more copies of Grimgar volume 4 than Grimgar volume 3.

Tell me any other plausible reason for that other than the fact that fan translation existed for volumes 1-3.
Good idea. They should hire hundreds of unqualified "translators" (note: there aren't a hundred people willing to translate overlord light novels. there's probably not even ten.) to work on a popular IP, instead of their tried and trained professionals. Kill yourself retard.
Speak english please ESL-kun. I can understand about half of what you're trying to say.
>light novels only took off in the west after piracy became wide spread
[citation needed] light novels took off** in the west about 5 years ago, give or take. fan trans and similiar were out much earlier. index as the prime example.
**i say "took off" but this is in comparison to basically no light novels being licensed at all. light novels are still very niche in the west.

>Retardios
Is she his literal female boss he secretly wanted tor rape? Is that the reason he hided his face?

>possible to clone someone by cutting a body part and then casting a heal magic on it.
Demi prove it was impossible, the severed part would magically disappear.
Unless it was processed into something different.
"Calca" is probably doppelganger now.

>and video game adaptation
hol up
you don't mean the shitty gacha thing, do you?

>I'm not really going to entertain someone who thinks piracy is positive.
What about people that live in the middle of nowhere?
Also most of money goes to the publisher not the creator.
Look at FAKKU for example, many creators didn't know their works are published there.

Souka...

Calca is a doppelganger? Are you sure, I thought it was her brother that was being impersonated.

>Falling for Demiurge's deception
She is alive. Remedios was right. She is too important to be killed. That's why Demiurge use that village girl's lower half to fool them.

Many english LN publisher hire shitty translators, if not with different political agenda.
At least I know fantranslator won't pull such thing.

>her brother that was being impersonated.
At this point probably half of the holy kingdom higher ups are doppels.

>that village girl's lower half
Who?

didn't the author confirm that calca and the head priest woman are dead and gone

A-are you sure? For sure Remedio's sister dead because the head was attached to a withered tree.

Probably from what we know higher doppelganger are mercenary monster summoned with YIGGSdrasil gold.

In the LN Jaldabaoth grabs her by th leg, smashes her famously pretty face, then uses her (unconscious but still alive, at least at first) as a club to bludgeon some of her subordinates to death.

When he is seen again months later he brings what's left of her (very decayed bottom half with some armor still on it) and finally splatters it to rotten bits smacking her best friend with it.

>For sure Remedio's sister dead because the head was attached to a withered tree.
Read this >Unless it was processed into something different.
Like being the head of the circlet demon.

Nothing says calca is dead.

>Who?
Some random girl the demons killed and cut in half, put Calca's armor on to make her people think she's dead.
Probably a ruse. He can just say he changes his mind later on.
>For sure Remedio's sister dead because the head was attached to a withered tree.
It's probably Arche's head. That's why it's blonde and the tree dude never used any of Kelart's spells.

>Some random girl the demons killed and cut in half
Was this mentioned or speculated?
This looks like something demi would do.

>What about people that live in the middle of nowhere?
Like I said, I'm not entertaining people who think piracy is positive. If you want to pirate, feel free to pirate. I do it all the time.
>Also most of money goes to the publisher not the creator.
Depends entirely on their contract. As you should know, the bigger you are, the easier you can negotiate. SAO, Oregairu, DanMachi etc the list goes on. Regardless, something is greater than the nothing from piracy so this is pointless anyway.
>Many english LN publisher hire shitty translators, if not with different political agenda.
Sorry user, they don't hire from /pol/. When people complain about translation "quality" it's because of a) they aren't using the shitty fansub names 2) they aren't using honorifics like -kun, -san, -sama, -chan etc. which makes sense. If you want those then learn japanese. 3) shitposting. That's what it almost always comes down to. Very rarely will you actually see "shit TL".
>At least I know fantranslator won't pull such thing.
user... fantranslators pull this shit way more. Are you retarded or just new?

>"shit TL"
RABBIT

>they don't hire from /pol/
Have you read anything released by yenpress?
At least /pol/fags have the decency to admit it.

That kind of lack of concern for one's personal care is undesirable in a partner, even Ainz and Shalltear take baths regularly.

What are you talking about? Ripping off and regrowing is an ultimate form of washing oneself.
You only take off a bit while bathing.

You obviously never worked on the same fucking thing every day for years. And I don't mean "the same job" as that gets horrid too, but I mean the same thing. Like if your job is janitor, only claning windows all day, every day, you wake up, window, eat, window. Window window window. All day until window just becomes a strange word.
Just look at HiatusxHiatus, Berserk. In western media, Fat R R Fartin.

Theta not the case for Overlord though. He does this as a hobby, a side job. He just doesn't find it fun anymore.

The last season of the anime was a really, really fucking awful adaptation. The quality was legitimately very, very poor so I can't blame him if he turns them down. Considering the garbage they produced last time it only makes sense to do so, at least if they can't somehow prove that they're going to do a much, much better job next time.

How do we keep writers poor so that they keep writing without disincentivizing writing in general?

No, Shalltear canonically bathes very often.

If he could have children they could potentially become quite powerful without having the in-built fanatical loyalty of the NPCs.

So a critical mass of potential heirs could murder their father and tear what was left of Nazarick apart in a civil war with the NPCs forced to choose sides.

I was very satisfied by it to be honest.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about how the humans were played like a damn fiddle by Demi.. Ainz-sama.

Neia is a really tragic character, despite how she loves and respect Ainz, she is nothing more than a pawn to Ainz (promote Runecraft-tm and overthrow the Holy kingdom.
I hope she gets together with Shizu someday and gets her family revived, her father and mother really didn't deserve to die.

Imagine writing a multi-million dollar franchise and then tweeting that you'd rather be making a series about high school wrestling.

Overlord got repetitive. I didn't finish the holy nation volume because it was so boring and already done. All the gimmicks and jokes. And they were slowly done dragging punch lines we already knew.

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be bringing it up. Not "my own version of overlord," but that's beside the point.
Sometimes you just burn out; especially with a long-running series like this. It's not surprising to think the passion isn't there anymore and he doesn't know how to wrap up the story.
Add in a lot of pressure from his massive fan base and... things just stop.
