Maybe the creator of the Overlord light novel saga created the New World’s Time period to be a hyper realistic exaggeration of our Real World’s Dark Age. This is because Kugane Maruyama makes the New World’s Dark Ages era into a Darker Ages era that’s been going on since Dragon Lords ruled the New World back then. There’s more racism in the carnivorously strong races who kill and eat the weak, more xenophobia in weak races that suffer and hide in fear from the carnivorously strong races and the New World itself, and there’s a lot more isolationism and ignorance in the weak and strong New World inhabitants that have little to no sophisticated and modernized moral standards and little to no collective knowledge.

It does make me think now and then as an Overlord fan to say: why would a Japanese author pick a dark ages time period and periodical personality and make his high fantasy New World itself into having an exaggerated overly realistic Dark Ages periodical personality anyway, he could’ve made into a medieval-renaissance type fantasy world like the cross time periods of mixing medieval and Renaissance fantasy eras in Japanese Manga and anime are so common and popular like the light novel based manga and anime series: Gate, the early Final Fantasy Games, the Arc the Lad Games, or the French anime inspired media franchise: Dofus a.k.a. Wakfu?

I mean why does Kugane Maruyama keep making the main cast of Ainz and his NPCs be smarter and know everything like they’re the multiversal cast of Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty, and the New World cast isolate, scared and know nothing like they’re the multiversal cast of Morty Smith from the Rick and Morty animated sitcom? But the most realistic question I’d like to ask about the New World’s character development is: can the New World evolve from a medieval period into a renaissance period like are real world has evolved from the Stone Age to the current time period we inhabit today? If so, then I hope Ainz can change the New World periodically from it’s medieval era into it’s own renaissance era? just like how the Samurai Jack villain Aku allowed his earth reality to evolve from medieval Japanese to the cyberpunk world Aku had conquered while aku had conquered his Universe until it ended in Samurai Jack season 5.
