the main protagonist of this novel. He is the builtmaster of Ainz Ooal Gown, and regarded as
the highest of the Almighty Forty-One Supreme Beings. His other identity known as Momon
which is a dark warior and the leader of darkness. Another characters that the author puts on
this novel are his friends, monsters, NPC (non-player character), etc. However, his real life
name is Suzuki Satoru. Therefore, the characters of this novel is clearly explain, the author
not only focus on the main character but also to another characters that makes us know what

The setting of Overlord take place in the world of yggdrasil which is a popular virtual
reality game that the main character is playing. Where it was takes place in kingdom within
the virtual game. The game is based on Norse Mythology that has nine seperate worlds within

Helheim, and Muspellsheim. Therefore, the setting of this novel shows how great the author’s
fantasy is, and makes this novel is worth to be called as his masterpiece. ()

The plot of this story is exciting. Personally, I love the plot of Overlord because the
plot is not mainstream. Surprisingly, this novel tell us about the friendship, politics, war, and
little bit love, where i used to think that this novel is only narrate about the war. Also, what I
love the most about this novel is the author did not try to make long story, when the story has
to be concluded, the author ends it. ()

The story logic of this novel is well delivered. The author of this novel really knows
how to write properly so the story can be infer by the readers. Using persuasive logic, I can
take all information from the story and recreate it in my mind what the writer wants to tell.
()

The author of this novel which is Kugane Maruyana uses the first person perspective
to narrate the story. The choosen words of this novel makes the novel even better, but
sometimes it is also hard to understand because the author sometimes puts some ‘standard’
words in his masterpiece. ()
Overall, Overlord is a great light novel. The author approaches on the buliding the
characters is spot on, great plot and lot of plot twist. I really enjoy reading this novel because
it is really worth to read. ()
