~ OVERLORD ~

Master’s Reader ~

Solid 16/20 For the series in general, not counting the latest volume which has few adventures and few noteworthy elements. The anime series is excellent, but the 4th season and the movie suffer from a misunderstanding of pacing, and catastrophic narrative structure and development of stakes and characters (Still speaking about the movie / anime). The lightnovel doesn’t suffer from such problem, but still has poor pacing over the two last books.

Narrative Pace and Story Density ~ 14/20

The narrative pace is slow, events are moderately dense, in favor of extremely solid world-building.

Overpowered Rating ~ 18/20

Comedy absolutely present, a true delight as an Overpowered Hero story.

Quality of the plot ~ 18/20

The plot is excellent across all books, everything fits together and serves a pleasant and coherent story. Each character also finds their place, and the narrative arcs are excellent and varied.

Strenght of the World-Building ~ 20/20

The universe is extremely deep and serves the story. The first chapters are challenging because the universe is very deep, but it balances out when the author finds their rhythm.
