Bruh what can I say about Overlord that hasn't already been said? This is about everything I'd want out of a story of this nature. But for this review, I want to focus on something most people probably wouldn't give so much attention to in this story: comedy.

I'll admit, the comedy isn't a huge part of it but for me really adds to my enjoyment. Overlord, in its real sense, is an ironic comedy and does a fantastic job of showing it through Ain's (Momonga) character. This guy has to be the luckiest man alive. He's about average intelligence and highly over or under complicates things; so much so that he has hardly an idea what's going on most of the time. His closest subordinates are coming up with so many big brain plays all the time and Ain's just has no clue what's going on. In spite of this, his suboridents loyalty and admiration run so deep they are essentially blind to all his weaknesses and believe he himself is the ultimate big brain. WHAT GENIOUS IRONY.

[Very minor spoilers for vol. 12 ahead]
A perfect example of this. when Neia Baraja meets Ain's in the Holy Kingdom arc. This volume had me dying right from the start of the two's relationship. Ain's is so far paranoid over every little thing that he believes Neia hates him and that he's screwing up Demiurge's plan. On the contrary, Neia is infatuated with Ain's, almost as much as his own subordinates are, that she basically puts him up on a pedestal and revears him as a god. And just the way she converts so many people of theHoly Kingdom into the Ain's loving faction without Ain's even knowing himself is so funny.

But aight, I think imma conclude this here because if I don't I'm just gonna be gushing over this for another 5-6 paragraphs. In short, read Overlord, the light novel is fantastic and covers so much more than the anime was able to. Trust me, this is inadvertently, one of the funniest things I've ever read.
