...Lived up to the build-up of the last book, hence me tearing through the entire novel in a caffeine-fueled morning/afternoon. The archer and Shizu's interactions were fun to read, and there was a good balance between showing Ainz flailing and everyone else (read: Demiurge's...) explanations of his awe-inspiring benefits. There are still some scenes where I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the Guardian's read on events correctly through the lens of Ainz-the-incredibly-unreliable-narrator, but that's half the fun of these books at this point. I think he really needed the break from Nazarick these past two books provided; he seemed much more willing to let down his guard a bit without the constant pressure of living up to his "children's" expectations so directly. (Also, he is definitely willfully oblivious on certain things they're getting up to under his command... the source of the parchment for higher-tiered spells being the biggest example brought to the forefront again in this novel...)
Worst thing about this book is that now I'm going to have to find something new to fill my craving for OP villain protagonist fiction until the next books in this series are published.
Note: I read an English translation of this series.
