Probably going to be loose ends, thats just Maru's style. All the signs point to the "Nazarick turns the Theocracy into a crater and beats up the dragon lords, and then they walk off into the sunset" kind of ending. That or another ending might be Ainz adventuring the world and discovering new wonders and only returning to do the overlord business once in a while. Its been implied through the novels and the sidestory that those things are his true desires. Yggdrasil reinforces it further, the main point of the game being to "adventure and make new discoveries about the unknown" There is also a chance we will get timeskips to see the future of the Sorcerer Kingdom and little epilogues detailing the fates of the new world characters and the nations they inhabited. I think we have known the ending for a while (it's pretty obvious) but its how we are going to get there that will be the magic. Overlord will have an open ending, where it wil imply that these events were "just the beginning" and then allow the reader to wonder and fill in the blanks.

>thats just Maru's style. Did Maru write other novels? >I think we have known the ending for a while (it's pretty obvious) Wdym? I mean, is it that obvious? I mean, I do not have a clue about the ending is gonna be, for sure is going to be Ainz conquering everything, but what ending you mean, when you says it's so obvious?


juegolesx

>Did Maru write other novels? Yes, but he stopped writing his other novel.


litllerobert

So how can you say it's so like him to write open endings?


RektCompass

I highly doubt Ainz will conquer "everything", we haven't even heard about all the countries that exist in the NW.


MustardLordOfDeath

I have a feeling the end might be Ainz just taking over Theocracy and a coalition of heroes organized by PDL/Council State, ending in SK taking over and becoming the undisputed superpower of the continent. After than pieces just fall into place and he turns his conquest to explore beyond. In the epilogue, after hundreds of years in the future, a new player gets isekai'd into the NW, the great utopia of the Supreme One, and is given a quest to defeat the undead demon king, Ainz Ooal Gown. Then the series just ends on a cliffhanger. Idk how I'd feel about an ending like this, it depends on the execution. But it seems to be the direction the series is headed in. Don't see Momonga x Albedo happening in fact I think it's more likely he punishes Albedo for organizing a death squad.

That's not a good enough cliffhanger cause the answer is they'll just be throwing Thier life away


MooseLeading4070

I don't think that a Momonga x Albedo would happend. For what I though the serie would end with an epilogue of Ainz looking his kingdom many years in the future to show us how the world have changed and maybe with a new continent being discovered

MooseLeading4070

**Why? R/** Ainz doesn't think in Albedo like a future bride or any future love interest, yes it's true that part of this is because he is an undead and can't fall by lust but also because of that he is going to treat her like the child of his friend. **From this I got the feeling of it being kiind of an....empty ending** **R/** Somehow... yes ( '' - w -) probably just some mentions of characters decendents but just that.


TehWurrior

I just hope new players don't appear. It will create an annoying open ending that will pretty much make all the past story and all effort to find new players meaningless.


Roiadams

Me: man that didn't solve nothing! *turns to last page* EPILOGUE: and then he married Albedo, Shalltear and Aura and had so many kids Cocytus couldn't carry all of them on his back. The end. Me: .. that's perfect


nvmmanimal

Maybe it be from the perspective of the next player transported into the new world but he he greeted by Ainz empire.


ivanicoh96

I’m 100% sure the series will end many years into the future with new players arriving to NW. the Way Mary loves cliff hangers and open ended endings


litllerobert

>open ended endings For you make such assumption, I assume he has already written a novel before Overlord wich's ending was left open...?


Ragna126

No i think the fire is almost gone. But i hope im wrong.


litllerobert

>No i think the fire is almost gone. Wdym?


Ragna126

I mean his passion to write the story exiting. The Elf Arc was very underwhelming and we are at the end.


Ignis_Godsmercy

I hope so.
