I do not hate ASoIaF (thank for reminding me, I forgot since I was not interested), I never said it is bad and I did admit it is decent to read. It is true that I did not read the entire thing from begining but I simply state MY own idea. That is it, just my idea. So you are free to disagree. However, if you want to change my opinion then please explain the reason WHY first. Beside, I still think Tolkien work is the best.

I also do not love Overlord and I realize it has its own flaws. I simply like it more and I consider its flaw to be minor and not enough to lower my opinion. In fact, I considered it the Best LN and a very good novel. Unlike the other LN, it is serious and its author does not bend his writing for fan service and cheap drama. Also he still works with his job to keep it that way (he has other income and not depend on LN sale).

Overlord is good enough to qualify for a real novel. Many other similar, even 'classic' ones, is just self-fulfilling fantasy with no real substance. Like LogH is fun at first but then devolve to annoying jokes, such as jokes about modern life in game world. And a entire video game come to life is just ridiculous, Overlord at least point out that real, native character does not have level in the same sense as NPCs. That and other details prove the author is serious and has respect for readers.

I do not think Overlord is masturbate power fantasy, it show how a normal guy would just get stress and confused with the new power and job, and the kind of horror it can bring. I do not like RPG and online game and I still enjoy it. And I feel that there is NO badly-written characters. All of them do their part well, and some of them like reme may need more view and understanding, but the next book should fix that.
