Overlord: Welcoming the Birth of the King骨王：恭迎王的诞生

I think this is the best Overlord fanfic I've ever read.

The protagonist sees Nazarick and Ainz as enemies from the start. From his reading and experience with Overlord, he knows that Ainz will do anything for Nazarick and will never allow any threat to get out of control, even if he wanted to. His responsibility as the "Supreme" of Nazarick, along with the adoration of the NPCs, doesn't allow him to act in a "human" way.

So he has two options: fight or live in peace under the sorcerer's reign, hoping to survive peacefully as an ordinary human.

Upon awakening his innate ability [Player], he decides to fight.

Our protagonist is a planner. Basically, the entire story revolves around him creating plans, telling half-truths, manipulating the powers in the world, or strengthening himself.

He chooses the "Humans are superior" mentality, not because he fully believes it, but simply to "generate hope." He lives in fear of the day Ainz and Nazarick appear, which is why he always seems tense. It's as if he's walking on a glass floor; all his steps are cautious, and only occasionally does he "risk everything."

It's not that he's weak; on the contrary, at certain points he's much more powerful than most, but it's because he knows that when Ainz arrives, there can be no trace of him, only the traces he chooses to leave.

Even so, after Ainz's arrival, he knows that at most he can be a "guide." Why is that, even though he has advantages? Because Ainz has Nazarick. As the story unfolds, you realize more and more that Nazarick is simply absurd. The treasure alone, with its various world items, is already completely overpowered, not to mention the numerous level 100 NPCs. Our protagonist knows that Nazarick is a "higher dimension" than the world, which is why he becomes a planner and not someone who will confront them head-on.

So be prepared to see a protagonist who extensively explores the Overlord universe and changes the political geography of the story before the emergence of Ainz and Nazarick, all in order to benefit himself or hinder Nazarick.

There are provisional explanations for the disappearance of the previous [Players] (The 6 Gods and 8 Kings of Greed), and the author presents very interesting and logical theories, which captivated me as a fan.

I stopped at chapter 590 of the MTL, the last one released. Ainz and Nazarick appeared in chapter 560, so we are now beginning the most important arc of the work, and honestly, it's very good.

He's not a lecherous Japanese protagonist, he's not naive, he doesn't underestimate his enemies and is always planning. There's no harem either; what happens is that many of his important servants are women, but I found that irrelevant to the overall context. He doesn't even have intimate relationships with any of them (he doesn't have time for that). This isn't a romance-focused novel, but a survival one.

One of the novel's strengths is the various professions/classes the protagonist acquires. If you've read other comments, you know about his [Genius] class and that because of this, he has a very unique character build, possibly making him the strongest player of all.

It's a must-read for any Overlord fan.

5/5
