      I can try doing a basic outline based on chapter 1 and someone can probably elaborate and fill in the blanks and make it more coherent:

      A game is entering its final moments > guild master (GM) of a infamous and rather "dead" guild trying to set up one last reunion with its members > rather unsuccessful > reminiscing about the past, the GM explores their base one last time > decides to spend his final moments with an NPC for company but something unexpected happens in the games "final" moment.

      I agree. I was having a lot of trouble staying interested until he FINALLY left the castle and went exploring.

    i'm really excited about this. Is difficult to find a good story of darklord who is the main character. Despite, don't look like "Re:Monster"(Chaotic Evil/Neutral), the sad feeling of the first part of first chapter catch my interest. Sorry,english is not my first language.

      I think you already read it but :
      Legendary Moonlight Sculptor is godly (human-readable upto vol21 ch5 thanks to japtem, royalroad and NLink)
      I would recommend Ark (upto vol3) or even Arifutera (upto vol6) that are translated by japtem.

      While no team translate this overlord serie yet, CoCayn provides a human-readable version of chapter 1 and 2. try it.

      Just checked them myself; seems to me that the light-novel is in Chinese, while the webnovel is in Japanese. And you say the writer is Korean? Weird.

    2. Anonymous30 August 2014 at 14:23

      Really have no idea either.
      There were a comment somewhere here saying it was a korean author.
      Apart from that the webnovel is jp and from the batoto thread(Which I actually also knew before I posted) there's a link to the light novel(It is chinese though)

      Ps. Have also read lms and ark.
      And apart from that I'm also reading other novels(from the batoto thread).
      Though my proficiency in japanese is pretty bad, I'm actually somewhat able get by with TA and Jparser + my basic knowledge of jp grammar(Also able to read hiragana & katakana).

      Register an account on bakatsuki and create an overlord page; the main reason no one is translating it is because there's no one place to post the finished chapters, and most people (myself included) are too lazy to spend the time to create a bakatsuki page (about 30mins).

      I can't say I agree with you. I can't read Chinese, so this translation is to me great gift. If you are so dissatisfied with translators work, why don't you help them instead of complaining?Your words as Chinese citizen will help them greatly.
