Cliff Hanger be your name.

Great series but the series has a really bad habit of leaving everything as a cliffhanger. This book is a perfect example there is zero resolutions to any of issues in this series. If I had to put a name to it I'd say that this was originally meant to be a novel or book that was broken into several bite-size segments and yes I know the anime and manga but But if you read it or listen to it you can tell that was meant to be taken all in one go honest opinion If you're not already a fan wait until the entire series is done and then by the box set because it's just going to frustrate you otherwise. The narration the story everything is great except You can tell they're drawing it out for more money.

Another solid performance.

Apart from a few instances in which the volume had a variation, this product was yet another amazing performance.

I love this series

This is one of my all-time favorite series volume five was a little bit of a slow one for me but still good I hope audible is willing to do the entire series

Enemy is faithful to Is this book series

Warning at the beginning was unnecessary but I get it it's for the snowflakes Other than that it was a good listen and if you've been keeping up with the Anime there's there's not much new here

bone daddy is back!!

Do it, Do it for daddy you know you want to don't keep him waiting.

Localization inconsistencies

Translator confused 'R' and 'L' sounds in the names. Cocodoll became Cocodoor, Succulent became Securante or something like that. I guess they felt the original Japanese was too corny, but let's have accurate translations, thanks.

Greatest isekai ever

Chris Guerrero is one of the best audiobook readers ever. Characters, story and world building is subtle yet amazing

Love the story, writing needs help

I love Overlord, I got hooked on the anime first and was delighted when Audible started adapting Japanese light novels. If you like "fantasy video game world turned real" stories, you'll probably like this. However, if you need the story to also be well written, this could drive you nuts. The writing quality of the series reminds me of high school fan fiction. I'll put up with it here just like I did with the fan fic to get the story (I've already pre-ordered the next volume), but I wish there could be an "adapted" (rather than straight translation) version that cleans up the writing.

All that said, the narrator does a good job with the material. My only complaint is that I wish he wouldn't use the main character's "voice" for other characters.

More names pronounced wrong.

Yes this is a good audio book. Moving on.

There are fewer noticeable inconsistencies but the names have gone through a wringer. Some seem to only be half translated from Japanese. This stands out as this audio book came iut about 3 years after the show. It is annoying that this becoming more common.

On the upside there are few odd word choices for repeated terms. I did not hear justice kills the undead.

love the overlord series

its neat to listen to it again it's been forever since I saw this part in the anime.
