User blog comment:Disfigure/What is your favorite LN volume of Overlord so far?/@comment-33177490-20150729024618

I found something interesting from 4chan that can be share with y'all:

There's a little Q&A segment with Maruyama that comes with the second volume of the Overlord manga.

Q: Did you make any rules for yourself when you write? A: a) I will not go easy or compromise, just to pander to the readers. b) Even female characters will be kill if necessary.

Q: Why make Ainz an undead? A: Normal people need to eat and sleep, you may get poisoned when you eat, you may be assassinated when you sleep, that's hardly qualify as the strongest. thus Ainz was made an undead who need not to eat nor sleep.

Q: Anything to say for the future? A: Overlord was planned to have 18 volumes, in the past I can publish each volume every 4 months because volume 1-9 was rewrite of the web series，but from volume 10 it will be completely original new stories, so I am afraid I won't be able to write as fast as before.

Q: Who is your favorite character? A: They are all my favorite, but I am still going to kill them if necessary.
