title is clickbait.
this is less of a whiny copypasta (but you can use it as such if it does become stupid) and more of an attempt at walking through my experiences and hoping to keep an open mind about whether or not continuing the series would be worth it.
​
Warning: my writing tends to be more or less an incoherent mess as I jump around and write what I think of off the top of my head.
​
I read the manga up to the current chapter and at the end was left in a pretty negative vibe and hesitant on whether i'd enjoy the rest of the anime and LN if I invested time into it.
​
Prologue:
I was browsing youtube and the scene with Zanac discussion and beheading came up. I tend to care less about major plot points getting spoiled and will usually read through summaries of things in advance. I value twists/big plot points less than how well they are executed. Interesting enough so I decided to read the manga. I chose manga over anime/LN because 20 minutes per episode usually doesnt slot well and LN requires more mental imagination of things.
​
The Manga:
Gonna break down my reactions based on first time reading them

The Undead King Arc

Yup pretty chill intro, we get to see some of the basic things going down w Momonga, e.g. friendship, his relation to the guardians, his [guild's] cool crib, his overpowered abilities. Off to a start with Momonga helping the village and giving free items.
Nice villain premise seems solid
Guardians deciding to go for world domination interesting.
My expectations for the story based on this arc: "Ainz will become the anti hero who fights evil with killing so at least it isnt shit ass talk no jutsu I guess"

The Dark Warrior Arc

Momonga does some basic isekai/adventurer shit. Seems legit I guess.
First taste of good guys dying brutally. Corpses get defiled not cool.
My expectations for the story based on this arc is same as above really, good guy who isnt above killing.

The Bloody Valkyrie Arc

Ainz realizes there are people with power. Possible challenge? Ainz might have to exert some effort?
My expectations for story are same as above + seek revenge on the strong NPCs motivation, gonna fight a lot of mini enemies before reaching top of organization.

The Lizard Man Heroes Arc

I skim/read really fast but yeah the "Biped Sheep" went over my head as much as it did Ainz's. Honestly the giveaway should've been the lack of wool mentions and just directly talking about skin w/o stuff like meat or innards since it would make sense to make use of all parts of a sheep.
Lizardmen sex haha funny.
First taste of real evil brutality and it was underwhelming tbh.
At this point I kinda expected at least Zaryushu to be revived and Crusch to survive because they had baby making. yeah just based on that. honestly i believe baby making > actual children in terms of plot armor.
Interesting/funny how Demiurge and Albedo guide Ainz's reasoning unintentionally.
​
Overall, nice of Ainz to let Cocytus step up, sorta gives the parent teaching kid vibe.
Cocytus choosing to spare the Lizardmen of his own volition, showing that the guardians can act independently of Ainz and have their own personalities. I understood Cocytus's choice was out of honor rather than mercy.
​
My expectations for the story based on this arc is will Demiurge notice that Ainz isnt really the super mega genius brain he is and manipulate Ainz into pushing his own goals (or just Nazarick's goals). Alternatively Demiurge instead of intentionally manipulating, simply subconsciously manipulates.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc

Meeting the other guys.
Sebas being a good person baited me into thinking that Nazarick would really be nice guys after all. After finishing the manga I feel like Ainz's compassion for the sister thing was too much of an asspull. In order to justify keeping that girl alive they had to make her related. Because otherwise there was no way Ainz would've had any reason to keep her alive. It doesnt seem like she appears later so she more so functions as a bait to keep the reader thinking that they're really good people after all (in the manga).
Demiurge being Demiurge I guess, absolute murder happy feller.
My expectations for the story based on this arc is above + will the guardians become nicer + Ainz will continue pushing a hero persona while instigating the villainy himself. Evil yes but it'd be interesting to watch him be a fake good guy.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc

He said they would die so I expected them to die. They died.
I honestly put 0 value into anime waifus. None whatsoever. Arche sad backstory? Yeah cool but I already knew she wouldn't be an exception so she died. The End.
Honestly? I got the kick out of watching the guardians exert their skills or personality to handle intruders.
The only slight nagging I had at the back of my brain was "Is Momonga going to do anything (is Ainz going to let them go to keep Momonga's identity intact)". I honestly dont know what was up with this line of reasoning but it was still sorta "Ainz is still technically good" copium. Turns out I didnt need to worry about Momonga identity at all because it gets buried and nobody ever really thinks about or brings it up again since he decides to go into Sorcerer King mode.
My expectations for the story based on this arc: "Ainz will kill people to 'protect' Nazarin from shit like looters/adventurers who dare trespass"

The Two Leaders Arc

Woah check out the side characters. Remember these guys Ainz helped? They're doing normal stuff and just trying to chill but get jumped by monsters!
Ainz decides to kill some more high end monsters! yippee!
My expectations for the story based on this arc same as before

The Magic Caster of Destruction Arc

bro killed 70k real people just to summon some murder monsters to kill even more. yeah honestly, what's the point i cant fuck with this anymore.
even though I didnt expect anyone to survive its still not a fun thing to just watch everyone get murdered.
My expectations for the story based on this arc: "Ainz will just kill almost everyone i guess and then enslave the rest"
​
Epilogue:
After hitting the chapter 76 (last chapter I could find), I just felt subdued disappointment.
I dosed partial copium in two aspects

1. It's still a "game". Yes I know its another world but there are constant reminders that everyone else is an NPC, MC is looking for players, etc etc. The New World might as well still be the video game and MC is killing everyone simply because they aren't real people.
2. Undead = less morality. I would say the isekai shifted his personality though we dont see much of it in the manga. There's no way this guy would've passed any sort of mental health test. Then again its a dystopian future so they might not even have enough funds for mental health check.

Yeah I definitely did the seething and coping but I just decided that eh whatever it just isn't worth pushing manga/LN for if this is the series going forward. It felt like a shift from the first two arcs for sure.
Copying the names for the arcs it turns out the part where Ainz announces his utopia thing is right after it, which might've changed my mind on continuing the manga.
​
Then I went on reddit

Browsing the Hot Posts

some good memes, not too much to talk about tbh

Searching for "evil"

Seeing some diverse opinions that were all pretty well received
"He is evil"
"He is just benefitting Nazarick at the expense of everyone else"
"He is justice/based"
I get last ones a meme and I'm honestly with number 2/3 combined ones where they acknowledge from a general moral compass perspective it is evil but his intentions are to further Nazarick.

Searching for "redo"

I'll admit, this was just kinda copium trying to find hypocrisy where there is none. I barely touched redo, looked at a few chapters, its just hentai with adventurer element trying to do a story. Still came up in my mind since I wanted to compare the "blatantly villain guys"
Specifically wanted to see the subset of fans that dunk on redo for rape specifically (rather than shitty story/hentai) and mentally calling them out for being okay with genocide but not rape.
I did see someone who mentioned how certain animes trigger them because of violence/sexual violence but Overlord is fine since its from Ainz's perspective but that's honestly acceptable and isnt a real good indicator of hypocrisy since PTSD can manifest differently.

Searching for "tanya"

I actually never read tanya but I already mentally had a dislike of the thing because of the "child hitler" thing. Yes yes imperial germany but the whole child conducting war crimes premise was not a great hook for me.
Turns out overlord and tanya are homies and thats just great i guess. Mass murderers rise up.

Searching for "arche"

Yup I agree with the common sentiment "Arche simps are cringe. Backstory =/= survivable". Gonna pat myself on the back for being so uncringe.

Searching for "arche sisters"

On this I regained strong feelings.
I would've been completely fine if it was "le salt mines". I would've been fine if they died in an orphanage fire. I would've been fine if Ainz just teleported, time stopped and killed them w one touch insta kill.
But really...
really?
as forgone as it was in terms of dark world + no other forms of child labor, I cant for the life of me imagine 5 year old children in that kinda situation ever and people casually joking about it. Given the non zero amount of fans who joke about it and the non zero amount of fans who enjoy the Overlord genocides there is definitely a non zero number of fans who got off on that. I would also argue there's definitely a difference between 5 and 10. Specifically, school starting at 6 years old (in modern societies technically). If the author chose 10, maybe less fucked up idk since they'd have awareness. Man could've chosen 1 year old and had the parents sell their baby children and it wouldn't have been that fucked up.
Idk how new fans would process this information while being called degenerates for simping Arche by the same people who joke about this.
I guess I'll keep snorting the "they died mercifully" copium instead of the alternative.
​
Overall reasons for disliking

1. Manga format.Honestly I should've read the LN because the manga is both behind anime and still kinda graphic in presentation. Also cuts some details compared to the LN format. LN allows the reader to tone up/down their mental images and allows some readers to just read w/o imagining at all.
2. Switches up goals/personalities way too quickA lot of the early stuff feels like isekai bait. Switches from hero to world domination really fast. Momonga personality dropped and gone. Idk how much smoother the transition is in the LN compared to the manga
3. Arche's sisters too fucked up
4. Horny/sexualization out of place. Straw that broke the camel's back for me. Honestly the whole dark humor story didn't need horny tacked on. It feels grossly out of place to read Albedo thirsting over Ainz and then Ainz murdering everyone. If I'm being honest I've never enjoyed horny in manga where story isnt about horny. Curious how Albedo's body pillow never got brought up after he murdered all the trespassers... edit: taking this even further, i think the idea of best girls in this is silly. Ainz has 0 sex drive or romantic motivation and shipping any of the characters to Ainz seems futile. well shippers gonna ship I guess. edit: changed to out of place because yes I agree the sexualization is less compared to other isekais.

​
Everything aside, I've never really gotten into Isekai at all.
I read SAO once. once. pretty much killed all interest in isekai after that. and the sexualization is not my jam.
I've guilty pleasured some power of friendship stuff like MHA but that's never been my bread and butter.
Honestly might've moved past shonen as a whole.
​
Two of my favorite mangas are Moriarty the Patriot (anti-hero, alternative history of Moriarty but from a sympathetic perspective. Commits murder for a goal, willing to sacrifice self to better country) and Ya Boy Kongming (Alternative version of famous chinese strategist Kongming, uses his military strategies to help singer succeed in market)
​
Maybe the real issue is that I dont like isekai. I'd love to hear any armchair psychologist thoughts you guys might have and some refutations to any shit points I made.
I'm willing to give LN another shot but I want to hear some rebuttals or agree/disagree on opinions stated
​
tl;dr
overlord kills way too many people that i wish he'd just instant kill 80% and just slave the rest, no point in getting interested in characters outside of nazarick because they'll just get dumpstered.
​
edit: I understand that there are people with WCI and therefore its still important for him to be conscious of that. I retract that part and apologize for not considering that.

I never thought I'd go to reddit for advice but I don't know where else to turn to.
STORY: It happened in middle school as I and a bunch of others were very close with this particular teacher. Student-Teacher relationships here are taken lightly, as we all felt as close as family at one point since it's pretty common here to have a relaxed enviroment as opposed to uptight formalities. If you ask any of the students and alumni regarding THAT teacher, the majority would all say the same thing. He was a funny/friendly swell dude in the entire school. No one had problems with him.
Until after I graduated middle school back in 2020 that things took a turn. Among all the other students who kept in contact with him, him and I kept in contact pretty close as not only do we both shared the same interest, but also opinions. He started sharing personal issues with me, at one point I questioned if he should be sharing things so personal with a former student? I was naive at the time and listened to his problems closely whilst trying to give advice (note I was 15). His problems ranged from his financial issues, depression, family, wife, etc. Again naive me started sharing personal stuff to show I've had to deal with similar things and for the sake of sympathy since I genuinely felt bad for him. He was quite active on social media platforms responding to students personally after they posted a story (i.e: instagram) and have mentioned things they are interested in such as anime, games ( mostly anime my entire school were filled with weebs, including me). But there were also times where I have been informed of- by my friends who've gotten messages of him gawking at students who would post selfies or photos of themselves. This ranged from compliments to vulgar remarks and emojis. None of us took it seriously since he has always been "funny" like that.
Fast forward. Recently he's been mentioning topics of interest and somehow shifting it to perverted means (e.g: anime -> hentai -> p⁰rn). One time he asked if i ever pleasured myself with **** ...and so on. Naive me jokingly responded "yea totally lol" since i'm aware he has asked such topics to other students and they all responded with humor or told him the truth.
THE ISSUE: We all knew he had a wife and son. Everytime he would ask for my pictures or to "take a selfie" i'd either pretend to not see it or ignore it completely since it did bother me lightly how he would twist everything into something so perverse since I'm aware that he had a wife I'd often mention "go take care of your wife and son". Which he did...or did not.
After a long break of not getting any texts from him, nor did I try to get in contact. A couple of days ago I received a message from him stating how "my wife hates you and she's filing for a divorce". I asked why? He said "she never liked you since 2020". I replied, "if she doesn't like me why are you still texting me? I think we should stop." He continued with a "why?" and at this point, everything made sense to me. He said "my wife claimed that I flirt with a lot of people, but you were the one who reciprocated". I tried explaining "but I meant no such intention? If she doesn't like it you should stop contacting me completely as this is unfair for her and for your safety, hers and mine I do not want any misled rumors to develop between us since it is NOT TRUE". After that I gave the only advice I can "I reckon you stop talking to me, however I can only give you some words of encouragment to help you deal with an upcoming divorce, I do not want to see your son as a victim".
2 days later...
My mother mentioned getting a text from his wife claiming "your daughter has been sending sexually private pictures to my husband". The wife continued to send screenshots of my messages with him including those "topics" and shots of herself on his bed without her face shown claiming it was me. Mind you, I was under an alias while texting him, however there were parts where he mentioned me by name. The pictures she sent were the ones I had posted on instagram stories made for the PUBLIC eye. However, I came from a conventional and pious family. As I have had family troubles dealing with religion and upholding traditions in the past, I hid most of my social life from them. They did not take my pictures too lightly as they thought it was a private photo sent directly to my teacher. I explained this was not the case and tried proving that I HAD NO RELATIONSHIP WITH MY TEACHER WHATSOEVER. I gathered evidence from everyone else who were treated the same by him. Most of my friends defended me and contacted his wife directly saying they've had similar experiences with me. But the wife refused to accept it and said "but then why is she responding to his advances?" and started arguing over how she had control over all her husband's belongings including his phone. Claiming "everything my husband does is controlled by me he would be nothing without me".
Aside from that, my friends continued to confront her and asked why I was targeted. If she wanted me to stop talking to her, then why wasn't this mentioned since 2020? The wife replied with "tbh i just got tired caring and wanted evidence to bring my husband up to court".
I understand that it is unfair for her, any husband who acts in such a way should not be tolerated and I was naive for thinking and acting that way. However, my concern is why would she bring my family into this? I would prefer to keep my social and family life separated? My mom cried, my dad got worried, I got scolded so much by my brother who said I threatened to tarnish the family name.
I don't know how long this is going to last, but advice anyone?

Incidentally, in my tour of old websites look what I have found these two gems of the old-fashion websites :
​

• https://wiby.me
  • A search engine for indexed old pages.
• https://www.404pagefound.com/
  • Active vintage websites, old webpages and web 1.0.

​
Then I could reach other places more vintage, families meeting, manuals, old software, hentai, travel pictures, etc.
