Overlord (LN) - Volume 14 - Chapter Aft

Afterword 

It's been a while, everyone, it's Maruyama Kugane. From here on, I'll touch on this volume a little, so be careful, those who haven't finished reading.Now, I looked at the publication date of volume 13, and it was 2018 April 27. 

This time, it'll be March… The year hasn't yet changed as I write this, but since it's planned to be published on 2020 March, it'll be about 2 years. Then, I guess, “It's been a while” is appropriate. Do you feel it?… Maruyama's  effort to keep it under 2 years barely? Do you feel it…? Dejection.  

But, 2 years is a long time. I'm sure a lot's happened to you, as a lot has  happened with me. And the imperial age has changed from Heisei to Reiwa. As for myself, I was busy at work, so it doesn't feel like a long time since the last volume, but if everyone feels like they "waited a long time," I'd be overjoyed  in a sense.  

It would mean that there are those who were looking forward to  Overlord that much. 

Now, let's get to Volume 14. The Kingdom which was the setting many times since the first volume. A lot of characters ended here. Those that lived, and those that died. It's probably as many predicted. But to tell the truth, a few escaped death while I wrote this volume. It's those people.  

As I wrote this, I doubted that "these characters would die so  ridiculously" and it ended up like this. It's very disappointing. Putting that aside,  I'd be happy if you thought that good characters exited. That's why I tore a number pages apart! So with that said, we're entering the last stages.  

Thank you to all the readers  and those who helped me! With 3 volumes left, it would make me happy if you'd accompany me. And there's only one country left! 

Thanks for reading this latest volume! 

Rest well!
