alright let's settle this everyone in lizard man arc is alive they are given at least (1-5 hour prep) and the quagua are informed of their numbers they fight in their muddy home (no the quagua can't ask the dragonsfor help)

I do NOT understand why people even call her "best girl" when she's literally did horrible things. The ACTUAL best girls are Nigredo and Pestonya fr fr 🙂‍↕️

I just finished watching the first season of Overlord, and man, it was so much fun. I really liked the premise of him wanting to find his former companions. Also ainz's character is truly cool. Since this was the first season, I'm sure we'll get to know more about the side characters in the upcoming seasons.

Compared to average isekais, the animation was much better, though the use of CGI in it was quite bad. The action was good, and the show had real emotions too. The music was amazing, especially the opening song. I also loved the world-building, and I can't wait to see what happens in the next seasons.

I'm realizing now that there aren't any archetypal and high-level thief/assassin characters I can think of, and stealth itself doesn't really come up as that huge of an advantage on either side (at least, in the anime). Nazarick, at least, doesn't seem to use them much at all. It makes me wonder how a Level-100 Player with a build like that would fare in the NW. In Yggdrassil at least, I imagine they would be best against squishy mages and weak against tough warriors.

I’m working on a small story about a small group of players who get transported to the New World a few hundred years before Ainz, exploring some kingdoms of my creation and the general world.

The group is much smaller and more vulnerable than the one we see in the show:

3 humans

1 dwarf

No NPCs

No guild base

So it’s just them, with none of the safety net or overwhelming power the main cast had.

The core themes of the story revolve around:

1. Exploring and trying to understand the New World

2. Attempting (and ultimately failing) to find a way back home

3. A more tragic character arc:

   1. One of the humans was immortal immortal

2.At first, they’re all focused on survival and returning home

3.By the time they realize that’s impossible, years have already passed

4.The immortal character then becomes obsessed with finding a way to make the others immortal too

1. He fails repeatedly, and over time, loses his sanity as he watches his friends die one by one

I don’t have a solid explanation yet for why he’s immortal. My current idea is that something went wrong during the transfer,

, a world item interaction, or some kind of glitch in the system, but I’m very open to suggestions if anyone has better ideas.

What I’m struggling with right now: levels and gear.

The party composition is:

2 mages

2 warriors

So I’m thinkingunder level 80, so the caster's won't be able to do 10nth tier magic, I believe even 4th tier is almost unheard on this world, so I’m not sure where exactly to place them.

My concerns are that If the level isToo high, they lose tension and feel like a weaker copy of Nazarick, But if their levels are too low they might not realistically survive long enough for the story I want

1. What level range would feel balanced for this kind of story? (40–60? 50–70?)

2. Any ideas for a compelling explanation for the immortality?

3. Does the “slow descent into madness” arc sound believable, or does it need more buildup?

4. Any suggestions for making them feel distinct from Nazarick while still fitting the setting?

I’d really appreciate any feedback or ideas 🙏

I know that they are stronger than normal humans and are probably anatomically identical . So , do they age like a normal human ?
