But when the server goes offline he, the rest of the NPC’s in his guild, and the physical guild headquarters itself are transported to … Well, Momonga isn’t sure. Momonga, our hero, is one of the last people logged into Yggdrasil the night of the server shut down. The story follows the general isekai theme but with several twists. This is the first volume, and, as of the time of writing this review, the only one currently available in English. For those who don’t know, light novel is a term for a Japanese novel which is more or less the length of a long novella or a short novel, and is almost always part of a series. And even they usually only have the old standards. Sure, they have manga most of the time, but they’re usually usually way in the back and resigned to only one shelf, two if you’re lucky.
Not unless you’re at a specialty book store.
It isn’t every day you find a translated light novel with breathtaking artwork (and hardcover no less!) just sitting around in the wild like that. When I saw Overlord, Vol 1: The Undead King by Kugane Maruyama sitting on the shelf at the book store I just had to have it.
