Overlord is one of the most popular Isekai Anime series of all time. Featuring the protagonist to be both badass and merciful, he makes for a great main character.
Ainz Ooal Gown, formerly known as Lord Momanga is the main protagonist of the Overlord series. He is the king of the Sorceror Kingdom, Master of the dark guild Ainz Ooal Gown, the Overlord of the great tomb of Nazarick, and the creator of Pandora’s character.
Overlord presents the protagonist stuck in the virtual reality game as an all-powerful villain of that world. Though, he isn’t inherently bad and only does what he does out of sheer boredom.
When he is stuck in another world, all his former robotic NPCs came to life, so he has to act and behave like an actual demon lord.
If you’re bored of watching the same style of fantasy anime with overused character tropes and harem, check out Overlord for a brand new experience and adventures of an overpowered villain character.
