v11 Afterword and Character Sheets

Afterword

This is Volume 11, the longest one of all. Did it excite you? Books get tiring to carry when theyre heavy and Id like to avoid that, so why did it end up so long And if I were to cut pages, where should I cut from? By the way, this has already been heavily cut down from the original proofreading. It feels like there were at least six more pages before Hm. I guess there wasnt much of a change, after all.

Well, please forgive me and just think of this as a form of savings, then. I think in the future, the volumes will only be 300 pages long. When that happens, please dont think so thin!, but instead consider that the use of whats been saved until now. After all, itll still be quite thick if you average all the books out.

Then, lets think about other things Im writing this on a hot summer day. The AC in my room is working at full blast and saving Maruyama from the scorching fires of hell.

I hate summer. When I walk to the office, theres nothing I hate more than touching other people with my sweaty body. I wont touch you, so dont touch me, I scream internally. The only salvation is that the decrease in students means the trains arent so packed. On that note, winters are great! I want to sleep under the blanket and never get out! Well, the people in Hokkaido and Tohoku might not think that way, but Maruyama still wants to say; Winters Are The Best!

It seems the Overlord Compilation Movie will be made in the Best Season! For some reason, it seems Maruyama has to work hard Ill work hard. And thats that. There should be more news coming out in future, and Id be happy if you could look forward to it.

Ive given a lot of people this time round too. So-bin-sama, I made you redraw the insert images several times, thank you very much. To my editor Ohaku-sama, Ill reduce the pagecount for sure next time! And thank you for doing the design for the deluxe edition package this time round, Chord Design Studio-sama.

Then theres Ashina-san and the staff; just hand the gags to them and itll be alright.

(Please watch the deluxe edition if you bought it, everyone)

F-ta-sama, lets meet up to discuss how to cut down the page count.

And a big thank you to my readers who have finished this (very thick) light novel!
