So I just finished reading vol8, and I'm confused. Was Aura expecting Ainz to fuck her silly when he asked her if she was eating well? Isn't she like a really young kid? Also, how the hell are the NPCs to fuck Ainz if he's a skeleton and has no dick?

A story can end in only so many ways. When you realize that there's limited space for the writer's imagination in a story like this, you may also realize it's the journey that matters in the end, not the conclusion. My advice is to learn appreciate what's in front of you instead of obsessing over closure.
>>

>>134916907
>A story can end in only so many ways.
Anon, there are billions of ways. You never would've guessed that FMA 03 would end with Ed being transported to 1920s fucking Germany and meeting Hitlet and Dietrich Eckart in the form of a woman
>>
>>134916907
A story can end in more ways than you can imagine, just because you cannot imagine something does not mean it is out of the stories realm.

Either way even with a finite amount of endings there id no telling which one we will get. Thats why I like reading.

Well, I guess you could make up with a number of nonsensical ways for a conclusion that a reader would have never expected. Still, I mean, it's easy to come up with an ending. Does it really matter that much especially in a story like Overlord that draws it's inspiration from the fact that things didn't have to end? I mean, look at how the whole thing started - at the conclusion of a different world. I would say it's the adventure and the characters that push things forward, and there's so much potential for endless nuances in that department. Treating this whole thing like something with a clear goal in mind that should end at the finish line of a long marathon just feels wrong.

Isn't there something like Flesh Graft spell in D&D or something that could be used to attach a dick in him? It probably wouldn't be that surprising if Ygg had items allowing to change race, I doubt Ainz would do something like that.
>>
>>134917589
>it also probably...
Fixed.
>>
>>134917589
There are items to change race, he needed a book to become undead. He even has spares in the treasury to make a human not human anymore. But he already used it once to become the overlord class undead and you can only change race once.

No reason he couldnt slap on a zomby member though. Or a bone one. Demiurge has even talked about cloning him (though he didnt realize it was cloning.)

It may be best if he adopted and raised an heir.

>>134917589
Graft Flesh was a feat, and it only really works out for Silthilar and people with Silthilar friends in practice (Silthilar are incredibly advanced flesh workers).
I doubt Maruyama knows enough D&D to even identify a Silthilar, but who knows, maybe one of the guild members was one. Tabula Smaragdina was an Illithid after all.. but those are already popular in japanese culture.

He'd probably be better off with some sort of Polymorph equivalent.
>>
>>134917426
I know how Overlord will end. Ainz will find out that the DMMO designers planned for this to occur, but did not realize anyone else would "stay" after closing time. They plan to overlay the real world's existence with only their own--their DMMO world. Already the real world is collapsing and physics abnormalities are tearing it apart. Ainz must sacrifice the world he has grown accustomed to in order to save the real world. He finds and challenges the DMMO -gods- and after a hard struggle defeats them with the power of all his minions. The DMMO world ceases to exist, but Ainz also in the process disappears.
>>
I bet one of the reasons Maruyama made Albedo for the LN was so people in the internet would take threads and threads discussing how grow a penis in a skeleton.

Oh so now playing games is wasting your life? What about watching anime is that also wasting your life? People have hobbies anon. His was gaming with his friends. Get over it.
>>
>>134918612
It's very different because he's clearly an aberration in the new world. The game has ceased to be like the game he knew. Basically, it's just a medieval setting with the MMO theme being used as a plot device to make up for the protagonist's inadequacies. It's brilliant because he's both a weakling and an all powerful god-like creature at the same time.

>>
>>134918736
Well to begin with my lit professor probably wouldnt care about an anime or light novel, secondly regardless of how a story starts it moves on. Good literature is anything that moves you and makes you feel something for those written in its pages. This accomplishes that. Who cares if it has mmos in it or if its about a fantasy world? Poor taste is hating a story before reading it simply because its a genre you dont partake in.

Why do you guys talk about the pleiades anyway? I hardly knew they existed or that they had that name because I didn't watch the specials until after the main anime. Yet I see people constantly fapping over it here. Should they just make a spin off Pleiades harem anime and be done with the main plotline of Overlord?

You cannot compare a cartoon to a piece of classic literature and expect to be taken seriously. Besides literary scholars can all like what ever the hell they want, Im sure somebody somewhere thinks overlords story is as good as dickenson but you cannot prove it.

But they actually fit the definition of patrician far better than us. We read Japanese pulp novels sponsored by corporations. We're just sycophants to corporate greed. Shouldn't we at least acknowledge our taste is bad? I admit my taste is shit.

They're never particularly plot relevant. They fulfill their role as the miniboss squad.
Miniboss squads are always fan favorites.
The anime didn't diminish their role so much as you ignored it because you have no taste.
>>
>>134919657
It's more that the novels don't put all that much attention to nazarick and its inhabitants. There are many chapters dedicated to world building and such. But yes, pleiades are mostly servants that keep to themselves, they aren't the center of attention as much as the strongest NPCs.

Where are you guys pushing these definitions of what constitute a great work from? It should be obvious by now that liking something or whatever is a subjective matter. The well regarded works of literature have this position not because they're widely liked or whatever. Usually they were innovative and influenced other works. For example, you might not like Shakespeare, but his works influenced a lot of people, so you simply can't ignore his existence if you wish to talk about literature. Is it so hard to understand?
>>
>>134919767
Dude I don't even think the bugmaid existed in the anime. The only one who played a big part was that chick who went with Ainz when he went out as Momon and she fought a skeleton dragon.

Also what the shit is a "miniboss squad"?

Even in the LN, the meido hit squard only does stuff here and there.

Only Lupu, Entoma and Solution did stuff that are plot relevant.

Bugmaid doesn't get her scenes until the next volume.
And you clearly weren't paying attention as you missed the slime maid.

A miniboss squad is a team of characters who show up in a story at multiple points. They're usually not as important as the "boss" characters, but focus on character appeal and comedy. It's a common trope.

"Tolstoy was instrumental in bringing a new kind of consciousness to the novel. His narrative structure is noted for its "god-like" ability to hover over and within events, but also in the way it swiftly and seamlessly portrayed a particular character's point of view. His use of visual detail is often cinematic in its scope, using the literary equivalents of panning, wide shots and close-ups, to give dramatic interest to battles and ballrooms alike. These devices, while not exclusive to Tolstoy, are part of the new style of the novel that arose in the mid-19th century and of which Tolstoy proved himself a master."

I don't see what that influences anymore though. Shakespeare yes, he is all over the place--many english words exist only because of him--and you see tons of works which ape Romeo and Juliette, or Hamlet or are even adaptions of it. But you don't see much like Anna Karenina and War and Peace. Mostly I'd say Tolstoy's influence is dying out with modern literature turning to a more low class quality. Are there even novels which ape Tolstoy's style anymore? Usually his novels are popularly derided for being too long--"It's as long as War and Peace," etc.

I'm not a litfag, but even if people ignore Tolstoi nowadays, can't one say he had his own share of influence at least for sometime and for some specific places (like Russia)? If he had 0 influence, I doubt people would even talk about him. Simply being an enjoyable read isn't enough to be remembered.

It bothered him so much that he is thanking me— is he being bullied? Should I tell the others to take note of this?

She also is unable to perform non-combat tasks unlike her sisters, so she's pretty useless overall.
