This is only the first part of this new overlord story so we are left at the middle of the action, it was a bit hard to get into at first because it is a very tight timeline that follows different characters throughout a couple of days so it took me some time to get used to the format, however, I really enjoyed it. I must warn people reading it for the first time that it delves in very dark themes which are there to blatantly show how perverse humans can be so it might make some people uncomfortable.
