    fanfic - short for fanfiction/fan-fiction, a fiction, in most cases a written one, about a work (in most cases another fictive work) from another person. google it if you want a better description, but what were you trying to ask?

    People are getting confused because you are asking for "fanfic" about something that seem like it was made to be a "canon" backstory for Overlord.....I don't think there is a "fanfic" like that out there....
    No wait....CN Authors are actually quite creative in plagiarizing...you might actually find one.

    Overlord's LN translations are called a fanfic as a tongue-in-cheek DMCA sidestep, or something to that effect. He was asking if the dude was looking for the actual LN translation, basically. But he's not. This guy is looking for an actual fanfic, and a weirdly specific one: a fanfic about the game Overlord uses as backstory, and not the world Overlord actually takes place in. There most likely isn't one.

    Overlord is heavily based on Dungeons & Dragons. So pretty much if you only care about the classes and leveling up I would suggest looking for other D&D fanfic. Only real difference between Overlord and other stories based on D&D is tht Overlord focuses on the "monsters" of the world instead of adventures.

    Strongly disagree. Except for maybe a few bits and pieces, Overlord's systems don't really resemble D&D at all. Something like Night Ranger or City of Sin is much closer to D&D, and even those are quite a stretch. Overlord is more MMORPG territory.

    The author is a heavy D&D fan who has talked about how big of impact the game has had on his writing(doesn't actually say for Overlord though). The magic system is pretty much from v.3 of game.

    The only main difference, besides different names for world and god, is the level system. DnD stops at 40 while Overlord goes much higher. Also some of the resurrection spells are different tiers than DnD as well. Pretty much he took Dungeons & Dragons and combined it with an MMO and got Overlord out of it.

    On a side note their are plenty of forums on reddit arguing this so lets not make this a big discussion. lol

    There is a novel on royalroad called Blood and Honor that you might find interesting. It is a Dungeon & Dragons themed MMO, which in my opinion is what Overlord is like, where the MC stumbles upon an expansion that introduces the Vampire race. So pretty much he becomes a Vampire and has to restart/rebuild the race. So there is the MMORPG fights/dungeon runs, there is somewhat of a base building element, and in the last section of the current section the Mc is starting a Vampire guild with his friends(he can turn other players into vampires). He also has npcs who follow him around and guard his base.

    It currently has 101 chapters with the last being posted 10 hours ago and this is probably as close as you are going to get to what you are asking for.

    The content of fanfic I read from that damn person is that a certain princess got hypnotized and mind break and give birth to lots of babies from her rapist.

    No, I'm not trolling. That's the fanfic that person wrote.

    No wonder you thought it was canon. I could see that happening in Overlord. :blobrofl:

    Exactly! And the way he post it in between chapters make it seems like it's canon. So many people got trolled, including me :blobjoy:.
