According to Maruyama, one of the reasons why he started writing the Overlord series is because his TRPG group of buddies stopped gathering and that they were too busy to play "Dungeon and Dragons" with him. Even within the settings of Overlord, TRPG plays a big part in it. 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.

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. 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.”I believe these last two volumes would be divided into 2 main parts the Slaine Theocracy and the Dragon Lords. With volume 17 based upon the Slaine Theocracy and 18 on the dragon lords. Of course a single fights scene is too short. And it would likely be padded out with some different perspectives, kingdom building and build up till the final battle. Speaking of difficulty, ending with Volume 17 puts animation studio Madhouse in a tough spot when it comes to adapting the ending of the Overlord anime. The studio has been adapting three books per season, so ending with Volume 17 makes for difficult story pacing. Overlord, Vol. 3". Hachette Book Group.
