Talk:Overlord Volume 14/@comment-46110064-20200616231453/@comment-46138239-20200620050213

You are interpreting this volume wrong, this volume is not dull, but one of the best volumes in Overlord. Why? Because this vol was the representation of why we originally started reading this novel and why its unique. Vol 14 reminds us that overlord isn't a cliche novel about a weak and righteous mc that cares about justice and punishes injustices and grows stronger and gets companions, no this story isn't like that, Ainz isn't weak, Ainz isn't righteous, Ainz doesn't need companions, why? Because he is at the pinnacle, he has the strength to single-handedly destroy armies, he is an undead with -500 karma ( Extremely Evil) and doesn't need to be righteous, Ainz doesn't need companions because he already has the best in the world. So what I'm saying is this isn't a story about a weakling rising to the top because Ainz is already at the top, this isn't a story about how mc gets companions because Ainz has the best subordinates. This story is about the perspective of an 'existence' that is sitting on the throne and watching over the world and not caring about the mortals that live in it, this is the story of an overlord. An existence that is already at the apex and is viewed as a villain by the world. That is why we readers love this novel because there are thousands and thousands of stories about a hero, but how many stories give you the perspective of a villain that has already reached the pinnacle of everything and is an overlord? Vol 14 reminds us that Ainz is not a hero but a villain that has already reached the very pinnacle. You might think what he did was very evil and bad, but that is because you have read the volume with the perspective of a human/hero not a perspective of that of a villain/overlord, you should read the volume again but this time switch your perspective to that of villains and not a moral idiot hero that spouts bullshit about right and wrong and justice and you might find it that it is really good. Overlord needs to be read with your mind reminding itself that it's reading a villains perspective and not a hero's, so turn off your moral codes and just enjoy a villain, that is what your missing and are confused about, we all enjoy this novel because it's unique and a refreshing breath from all the hero novels that are everywhere, so I urge you to re-read this novel and try to understand that this is a different concept form the novels you have read. I hope I was able to help you understand that this is a novel that has a villain for an mc and that he's already reached the pinnacle of strength, status, power, money, reputation etc
