Initially, Maruyama’s goal was to reach an ending somewhere around Overlord Volume 20. In the past, he stated that he has “no intention to drag the story on and on” despite having “50 volumes worth” of ideas. He just wants “readers to relax and read” although the author is “writing with an end in mind.” Green, Scott (May 30, 2016). " "Overlord" Light Novel To Include Super Deformed "Pleiades" Blu-ray".

Bundled with the Overlord series, it has inspired an anime special based on the Pleiades, aptly titled, Pure Pure Pleiades, featuring super chibi characters.Even though ending with Overlord Volume 18 is now the current plan, this ending is still years off in the future since Maruyama has two more novels to complete so the author’s plans could change again in the meantime.

At the time, Maruyama didn’t explain is how this major change to Overlord Volume 15 impacted his plans for the Overlord light novels’ ending. It wasn’t until the end of July 2022 that he confirmed that Overlord Volume 18 will now contain the ending. The English edition of this same volume is going to be released at an as-of-yet undetermined time in the future; we’ll update the article as soon as we get a confirmation. Overlord Volume 18 plotThe good news is that the wait for the Overlord Volume 16 release date was much shorter since it came out a mere month later. I think the wait for the next volume will be quite long again, so I would be happy if you could take it easy and wait for it in a carefree manner. So long, then,” Maruyama wrote.

Perhaps the studio will end up creating an Overlord movie for the ending? After all, Maruyama has been talking about ending the story with epic-scale battles and no one wants a repeat of the CGI monsters of the third season.

On August 5, 2019, German publisher KSM Anime claimedthat Maruyama confirmed at AnimagiC 2019 that ending with Overlord Volume 17 is the final plan. However, other attendees claimedthat Maruyama simply said that he was losing the energy to write and he is very tired. He would first aim for completing 17 books because even finishing 16 volumes is exhausting. According to the author Maruyama, once the Overlord Light Novel series is entirely over, he plans to someday release detailed class levels for all characters.
