Fantasy, in most stories, is a chessboard where the game is over, people retreat and lick their wounds or celebrate victory.
The mythical wheel of destiny begins its next cycle, and this one relies on the descendants of the previous game, maybe some who survived, but in general the board is already built, the pieces and their movements defined, our job is to contemplate the new game between good and evil.
Overlord tries to break with this, the story focuses on the construction of this board, the various characters have a reason for living and existing, the work already exists in another language, I, as its author, just try to make more readers enjoy it.
Elements such as romance will not appear here, characters of questionable behavior, violent, greedy, kind, human in themselves, you will find them, maybe magic theories.
As I said, the novel is based on reason and the appearance of all the typical characters of epic fantasy literature.
romance ? just asking i love villain stories with no romance or harem
