    Overlord Volume 15: The Half-Elf Demigod Part I - Fine Volume overall, plot is slow but that is expected since this Volume is the build up Volume. World building additions were very nice as well as Ainz contemplating a bit on his friends from the Yggdrasil days. I have high expectations for Volume 16 given the build up and work so far, I can see some interesting potential plot developments ahead, such as the Theocracy being on the same side as their arch nemesis given Ainz won’t see the Elf king in a favorable light (understatement of the century) once he sees how subordinates are treated in the Elf kingdom. Extremely biased since I love the series - 8/10

      I liked the depiction of the Elf-King. Seems to be a SoIaF type of villain that I love to hate.

        Same, I can even see where his twisted logic is coming from and I’ll be sure to enjoy when Ainz ultimately rips him to pieces. But the most interesting will be how the Theocracy will react to Ainz helping them get rid of the Elf King. Though I suppose with how people have reacted to Mare and Aura so far they’ll just usurp the throne (unwillingly) and deliver the Theocracy with a two-front war all the same.
