There have been 14 novel volumes published thus far. The publishing date for Overlord light novel volume 15 is June 30, 2022. The novel series will terminate with volume 17, according to author Kugane Maruyama. As a result, we may anticipate Overlord Season 5 as well.

Each season of the anime series Overlord had three light novel volumes adapted. There are 14 in total. As previously stated, the forthcoming Overlord film will focus on the “Holy Kingdom” storyline, which spans volumes 12 and 13. As a result, volumes 10 and 11 of the light novel series will most likely be covered in Overlord season 4. The Ruler of Conspiracy, the tenth book, was released on May 30, 2016. It tells why Ainz Ooal Gown chose to make his realm a paradise for all races. Meanwhile, other nations’ rulers are planning to fight him and his newly formed nation.
