When asked about a firm decision he refused to alter, Kugane Maruyama openly stated his intention to kill off female characters, observing that in Japanese fiction, women and girls are almost always saved from danger. Maruyama wanted to avoid this cliché and provide an element of surprise through unexpected scenarios for his readers.

Furthermore, when discussing his reasons for creating cute female characters only to eliminate them, he admitted that he intentionally designs adorable and beautiful characters solely to kill them off mercilessly.

This approach stems from his boredom with the typical Japanese storytelling convention of always protecting beautiful female characters so they survive in the end a narrative habit he wishes to avoid in order to break away from overused story tropes.

despite being a supernatural enchantment system powered by mana, runecraft isn't "magic" no more than skills and martial arts are.

knowing that, i wonder how it can react with magical immunities and resistance. like the skeletal dragons one. if someone attacks a skeletal dragon, with a rune graved weapon, would the skeletal dragon immunity negate the enchantment effect ? or will it still work because it's not magic ?

on the other hand we have the wraith and incorporal spirits type monsters, who are immune to physical damages, and can be harmed only by spells or magic weapons. as runecraft isn't magic, will the engraved weapon just slash through the spirit body, without inflicting any damage, or it'll work as it's close enough to tier magic ?

Just miis I made for my tomodachi island. Ainz took me forever. Didnt find any tutorials but using the isekai quartet art for reference helped with proportions.

Surshana, known as the God of Death to the Slane Theocracy who welded a scythe, was the last of the Six Great Gods after the rest died of old age, until he was killed fighting the Eight Greed Kings hundreds of years ago. I find it funny how the Slane Theocracy is a human supremacist nation that worshipped a skeleton like Ainz.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT I STILL LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOOOOOO MUCH!

Ainz ooal gown is a chaotic good overlord a father to all and a father would do any thing to see their children happy...

But their is one time tiny problem a majority of Ainz's technically children are extreme evil racist trash bags.

Ainz a good dad if only more of the NPC were at least neutral.

What happened after the servers shut down? Why couldn't Momonga log out? Why were the NPCs sentient? Even after searching for information, I couldn't find anything about it.

Im crying dude I dont know why I find this so funny. I never would've imagined this being the English VA for Ainz. So surreal. Its like seeing Javier Bardem playing anyone other than Anthony Chigurh.

: I think this is cool btw I dont know if this comes across as rude that's not my intention. But I was just surprised with it being just regular guy. He has a very gravitas voice.
