Must Read Epic High Fantasy

I’m currently part way through volume 7 and can happily say Overlord is my favorite high fantasy series of all time.

Heres a list of a few of my favorite things about the series:

  • Deep lore and world building
  • Descriptive yet simple prose
  • MC and co are morally grey
  • Fleshed out interesting side characters

Unfortunately it seems that a fair few other isekai LN’s are written in 1st person with sloppy prose and a lobotomized MC. In this respect Overlord is a breath of fresh air.
