Publisher Description
For twelve years, the virtual world of Yggdrasil has served as the playground and battlefield for the skeletal lord Momonga and his guild of fellow monsters, Ainz Ooal Gown. But the guild's glory days are over, and the game is shutting down permanently. When Momonga logs in one last time just to be there when the servers go dark, something happens-and suddenly, fantasy is reality. A rogues' gallery of fanatically devoted NPCs is ready to obey his every order, but the world Momonga now inhabits is not the one he remembers. The game may be over, but the epic tale of Ainz Ooal Gown is only beginning...
Customer Reviews
A Dark Fantasy on another level -
A creative mix of modern gamer concepts, historical fantasy, horror, mystery, and tabletop RPG elements. This series is enthralling from the first few pages and while it tends to push the envelope at some points, it only lends to the charm and character of the series.
I was introduced to this series through the anime adaptation, one of the greatest of modern anime. After practically memorizing the show I decided to listen to the audiobook. Having Chris- who voices Momonga in the English dub of the show- read and voice these characters leads to this being an amazing companion to the animated series.
A great way to pass the time
I like how they got the English dub actors to narrate. When you want to enjoy a book while you sleep the voices can be relaxing. Overall a great book you won’t be disappointed.
It’s great
I enjoyed that it’s unabridged and that they got the voice of the English dub of the anime to narrate the book.
