Satoshi Hino gives a terrific dual performance as the mage demon master Ainz Ooal Gown and as the human player Momonga providing a monologue and narrative. The whole show is carried on the shoulders of the title character, the Overlord. But when your VR persona is that of the most powerful demon sorcerer ever, that's when things get interesting. When you are trapped in a virtual reality game, the natural thing to do is to find a way out. Watching Lord Ains defeat even the most powerful enemies thrown at him with ease was pretty cool, and they didn't shy away from the violence either. At first I wasn't into this show, but after a few episodes I was hooked. He then decides to conceal his true form (a skeleton-type dude) and go on the lookout for his previous friends (who were all Supreme Beings) by becoming a low-level adventurer who wants to spread his name (now changed to Ains Ool Gown?) by defeating as many powerful enemies as possible. Of course, being god-like, he doesn't really need them, since he's nearly invincible anyway.
Since his character was a Supreme Being (practically a God), things aren't so bad for him, as he has a handful of powerful guardians to protect him.
Instead of logging out, he decides to stay and then realises he's trapped in this online fantasy world. Momonga is playing Yggdrasil (an online RPG I assume) and the game is shut down.
ANIMES LIKE OVERLORD TV
Although I have seen plenty of shows where someone gets trapped inside a game, TV show or movie, so it was still enjoyable. There is also a short fully colored manga of the first 96 or so chapters made called Master of Gu.I don't have much experience with role playing games, so a lot of the references to moves, energy, strength, skill, etc.
ANIMES LIKE OVERLORD FREE
I'm reading it online free using NovelFull, currently on chapter 1490, and only regret not having started it sooner. The story isn't done yet but is nearing completion, each chapter is a few pages on average and is upwards of 2400 chapters in total with an expected end being around chapter 2800. The author has put a lot into the story and has said that if it makes for a good ending that the main character (Fang Yuan) dies in the end then so be it. Reverend Insanity is defined by it's deep world building, hard magic system with strict rules, and characters outplaying eachother psychologically in a way that is well written and thought out by the author.
Activating an ancient gu called Spring Autumn Cicada he is sent back in time to his childhood leaving him a younger version of himself with only the memories of his past life and a determination to achieve immortality. The story starts with a fatigued Fang Yuan being cornered by enemies forcing him to use his trump card. He has no problems sacrificing anything if it gets him closer to his goals, be it others or himself. It has a villian protagonist (Fang Yuan) that is motivated by benefits and the desire for true immortality.
