I have read most of this authors books, and they are all pretty great fanfics. I greatly enjoy the writing style, and how the protagonists don’t have op cheats, and live full lives, I also enjoy that I don’t have to read dozens of chapters of the childhood phase when we can just get a summary, and flashbacks in later chapters. The reason I gave this specific novel a lower rating is because I don’t quite like the protagonist or the ‘contradictions’. It seems as if the protagonist is a saint mostly while most of his enemies are only seen in a dark light much like his other fanfics in GoT, I believe this to be because the author has a huge bias for the Targaryens not that it is a wrong thing, I personally just don’t care for them that much. I have read many fanfics about the protagonist being transported into GoT, and becoming a Targaryen, then going about saying “I am a dragon!”, etc…, gaining a huge pride, and somehow giving a crap about bloodlines. This fanfic is 1 of them, and as such I dislike it but the writing is great, and I don’t want people to dislike this author. My personal opinions once more, if you are someone who was isekai’ed, then you should not easily believe in these things such as “I am a dragon” etc…, you should be more inclined to think your blood has been experimented to have dragon blood but that doesn’t make you a dragon. The protagonist is considered extremely kind, and cares for the common folk yet he would kill Tywins men to ignore his test, and show him what happens if he faces Targaryens, and he says only the Starks have ‘somewhat’, ‘somewhat’ justified for rebellion?! He knows his father was awful, and these rebellions are mostly justified. Also, why would he try to go save his father when he was in Duskendale!? Another thing, he judges others (many fanfic protagonists do, not only this one) despite knowing that only he knows because of his Isekai knowledge, if he didn’t, he would have no right to judge them, and if he knows, talk about it in subtle ways. Finally but not least (there are several other things why I dislike this protagonist) he feels almost like a Mary sue in that he is kind, more gentle than Rhaegar, 1 of the greatest swordsman who can fight Arthur despite being somewhat injured before hand, and is extremely intelligent. (Intelligence I can understand, he is Isekai’ed, being kind, and gentle, and caring for the common folk, I can understand, being skilled with the sword, I can let pass by but it’s becoming to much for me, especially when he was probably just an average person before.) Many of the characters that are not on the main characters side are just criticized over, and over again seemingly, though I can see this as the perspective of the characters, and not the author, I feel as if I can see the authors biases. Also, several of the characters seem far more strong willed or different than what they should actually be like, and there are certain theories that the author chooses to make real that I dislike but it’s creative liberties, especially since it’s not so hard canon in the real source material anyway so I can’t complain to much. I have probably left many things unsaid which I wanted to write but this is getting to long, anyway, this fanfic, and the authors other works are far above many other fanfics I’ve read (I have read over 20 GoT fanfics, did not finish them all or get past many of them halfway or even several chapters but still read more than 4 chapters each, if just 1 chapter, I have read close to 40 GoT fanfics), and I give this author a recommend.

Dislike the protagonist, he judges entire nations on a few people, and on his biases. He judges others while being a hypocrite himself, and mainly only on his own circumstances. None of the characters seem wise at all, and seem dumb. They do things only on impulse. The author never explains the protagonists ‘obsession’ so how are we supposed to know if we are supposed to root for him? It’s been over 110 chapters, still no clue about his so called ‘obsession’. Slow, and so many things happen for no discernible reason, and in a way, it’s boring, there is no connection or need for the readers to be invested in the protagonist at all. Writing is ok, not the best, and can sometimes be seen as rigid dialogue, and cliche Chinese writing but it’s better than any real Chinese dialogue.

This is a personal opinion, and I can’t tell others not to read this novel, others can enjoy this novel but I hated every chapter, could not get past chapter 10. These are the cons of this story: -The protagonist isn’t Ainz, just a rip-off character that is a beta pathetic MC. Ainz is 1 of my top 5 protagonists, and I have read Overlord LN’s three times, the manga, and watched the anime several times. This character is not Ainz, his undead trait is not there, some readers, and author says they don’t want a character that has no emotions but Ainz has emotions, it’s just his emotions are negated after a certain degree, and if you can’t write Ainz like how he is, then don’t write him! This Ainz is also so judgemental that he judges others so quick, he calls someone master, he kneels, he has unfounded not acting arrogance, is not cautious (Ainz is 1 of the most cautious protagonists ever!), is a complete hypocrite (He is a hypocrite but not in the same way this author makes him), makes vows easily, and is an idiot but if course everyone including author says he’s smart because thats what the author wants! Character assassination. -There are many contradictions. -So fast paced, and so convenient for the protagonist. Sakura accepts Ainz as her family in a few paragraphs/minutes perhaps seconds, and in less than 2 chapters will fight in the 4th holy grail war to ‘save’ Ainz. (Make it so Ainz does not leave this her.) -Characters believe Ainz so easily, they can’t think he’s lying, and so many characters aren’t properly portrayed, not just Ainz! -Kills other servants so easily, no drama, no restriction of power, just a op yet beta kind MC pretty much. -There is much more in just 10 chapters but yeah, it’s mostly about the protagonist, he is not Ainz! The other characters are also not completely portrayed well, and everything goes to easily, to conventions, and to fast.
