A review by snailoon
Overlord Light Novel Vol 8: The Two Leaders by Kugane Maruyama

5.0

Writing style: ★★★★☆ 4.5/5 stars
Overall plot: ★★★★★ 5/5 stars

Biggest con:
- The frequent reminders in the first half of the book how Ainz made X expression, but actually didn’t because he’s not human anymore. Felt like a bit too much imo

Biggest pro:
- several scenes in this book aren’t in the anime! It was exciting to come across these more obvious differences! :)

This book is a solid continuation of the series! I’ve been saying this to anyone who would listen, but the father along I get in this series the more it has a different vibe from the anime, despite being the same story at its core. It’s terribly exciting to see this vibe difference grow more with each book - there were even scenes I don’t remember seeing in the anime here! I’m far more invested in the light novel series then I ever was in the anime, and I consider the anime to be one of my top favorites.
