Comments

This has a lot of potential!!! Heard about the news of the anime adaptation. It has both manga and anime adaptation, I expect the hype will be tremendous!!! Thank you for the translations and keep up the good work! Cheers! - Ash

It seems they finish the first volume(and the prolog of the second) https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByPeaKaqUsGFQVAxUEM2bUI0R0E&usp=sharing#list

Why all the content are behind external links?

Because of that I can't use Bakareader on my phone. Any reason for that?

Simple answer: The Overlord project's translation is done by different translation groups (eg: Imoutolicious LNT, Skythewood etc...) not by B-T community. In order to host their translated works on B-T we need translator's approval. So B-T will host the links to translated chapters. --  Rex  (✍|🔊) 23:55, 26 January 2015 (CST)

Raw volume link

I dunno if anyone realized, but the raw volumes link listed on the synopsis page is actually Chinese translations. SifaV6 (talk) 00:30, 10 May 2015 (CDT)

Chapter names for each volume

The author of Overlord actually wrote the chapters names of every volume in English as well as in Japanese. I only noticed it today when adding chapter names for volume 7. I went and looked through the chapter names for previous volumes and found that a lot of current chapter names on BT don't match. Eg Volume 3 chapter 1 is officially called Herd of predators.

Web novel x Light novel

I would like to ask, which one of this two is better to read. I heard that LN is quite different from WN. I don´t have any problems with reading the WN, but LN is a bit more problematic, as I have to use dictionary quite often and ORC is... Therefore I would like to ask, is the LN more interesting?--Zuruumi (talk) 16:03, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Heard from my friend that read both the LN and WN versions that one of the main differences was that Albedo, the main heroine aka #1 waifu, was only added to the LN. And that a character from the series gets a good end in the WN but a bad end in the LN. Hope that helps. --Monsterbandage (talk) 00:39, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Well since the anime is just being aired I will propably first read the WN, and since it has already ended and the LN is still going I will then watch the anime (mainly for Albedo) and read from where the anime left off. Thanks for information. --Zuruumi (talk) 11:20, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

WN is quite different from LN. For example there is no Albedo in WN, the story is also quite different. SifaV6 (talk) 11:56, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Why is it that volume 5 is almost done, and 7 is started, but there isn't anyone working on 6?

Who said no-one was working on it? SifaV6 (talk) 02:01, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
