Overlord is late stage storytelling. The author is calling in hooks and writing the actual ending… Which is always a difficult task.

Most stories / shows get dramatically less interesting as hooks and plot points diminish. But it’s how you reach an ending. It’s rare for endings to feel satisfying in any media especially if it’s taken years or decades+ to build up.

Frieren is still early. I’m not personally very impressed by its lore yet.
