Q: Where Nazarik?
A: Nazarik is in the story, but won't be a factor for a long while.
Q: Waiting to see character X curbstomped by Ainz
A: This isn't a curb stomp fic, although curb stomping may occur.
Q: Will Ainz get into a relationship or form a harem?
A: Yes
Q: Um, akshually this spell doesn't do this…
A: Some of these are author mistakes, some are intended and explained eventually. The 'new world' here isn't YGGDRASIL, some things don't work as they did in YGGDRASIL, much like some abilities were changed drastically from 'game' to 'new world' in LN. Like I said at the beginning, please suspend some disbelief and remember you're not a GM overseeing a D&D session of Overlord.
Q: How strong is Ainz?
A: If Ainz could prepare and gather information, and formulate a battle plan, he could fight and defeat most characters in DxD alone. If taken off guard or having to fight in the blind, he wouldn't last against a lot of the top-tiers. DxD universe is actually fairly crazy in terms of power scaling. They have less abilities numerically, but in turn their top tier abilities are much stronger.
Q: Why Grayfia so weak? Why Sirzechs so weak?
A: [Physical Immunity] doesn't exist for 'new world' characters the same way it does for YGGDRASIL characters. Grayfia was cheap shot by a cursed weapon from behind, taking her off guard when she thought she was facing only one enemy. Sirzechs in turn didn't fight seriously, more intent on finding more about the undead than killing them outright. When he started fighting, he obliterated everything in a second.
Q: Ddraig is OOC
A: He literally almost had his soul obliterated, out of the blue, when facing an opponent that shouldn't have been able to do much else than die against him. The experience can cause someone to be a bit frightened and desperate, specifically if one has been surrounded by a mausoleum of powerful and seriously messed up artifacts as well as the smell of butchered meat of your kin for a while.
Q: Is Issei dead?
A: Spoilers.
Q: Lady Phenix and Lord Phenix aren't both phoenixes, she can't cry healing tears. Otherwise that'd be incest.
A: Yes.
Q: Are there limes?
A: Yes.
Q: Are there lemons?
A: Yes. But on this site? Maybe.
Q: NTR?
A: Depends on viewpoint, I guess. Not against Ainz.
Q: How come updates are this fast?
A: A lot of pre-written material is released gradually to keep updates rolling.
Q: Why short chapters?
A: Helps keep the story easier to read, catalog, and proofread. Chapters are supposed to be 8-15 pages of A4, in my personal opinion, or 4k-6k words, not 30k+ word novels. Otherwise I'd release one chapter every 3 months.
Q: Bad author, kys & associated co.
A: Thanks for reading.
