Well, while the main character Ainz Ooal Gown is always important, in Vol 8, some of the NPCs in Nazarick get more focus. For instance, some of the floor guardians might have more in - depth storylines or character development. Their loyalty to Ainz and their interactions with the new world elements are explored more. However, I don't recall any completely new major characters being introduced that overshadow the existing ones. They all contribute to the overall story arc in different ways, whether it's through combat, strategy, or their relationships with each other.
In Overlord Vol 8 Light Novel, Ainz Ooal Gown is of course the most prominent character. But we also see more of the floor guardians and their roles being emphasized. For example, Albedo's unwavering loyalty and her influence within Nazarick are further explored. Additionally, characters that interact with Ainz from the outside world, like some of the local rulers or adventurers he encounters, are important in terms of showing how Ainz's actions are perceived in the new world. Although there may not be a large number of entirely new characters introduced, the existing characters' growth and development in this volume are what really make it interesting.
I'm not entirely sure about brand - new characters specifically in Vol 8, but existing important characters like Ainz Ooal Gown continue to be central. His actions and decisions drive the plot forward.
Ainz Ooal Gown remains the most important character. His decisions and actions drive the plot forward. He is constantly strategizing about how to expand his influence in the new world.
One important character introduced could be some of the new leaders of the local factions in the New World. They play a role in the political and military aspects that Ainz and his forces interact with. For example, there might be a new king or a powerful general.
In Overlord Vol 4, Ainz is the central figure. He is the one who has to face all the challenges and make important decisions for his territory. Albedo is crucial as she not only aids Ainz but also has her own ideas and influence within Nazarick. Additionally, Demiurge, with his devious and intelligent mind, plays an important part in the story, often coming up with strategies and plans for Ainz's rule.
Albedo is another crucial character. She is extremely loyal to Ainz and her actions often support his plans. Her fanatical loyalty also adds an interesting dynamic to the story.
Ainz Ooal Gown is of course one of the most important characters. He is the master of Nazarick and drives most of the events in the story. Albedo, his loyal and somewhat possessive subordinate, also plays a significant role. She is often involved in the decision - making processes within Nazarick. Then there are the other floor guardians like Shalltear Bloodfallen who are important in battles and maintaining the order of Nazarick.
I'm not entirely sure without reading it, but it's possible that no new major characters are introduced and the focus remains on Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin and Darkness.
One important new character is from a previously unintroduced race. This character has a special connection to the magic of the New World and their appearance shakes up the existing power structure. They interact with Ainz's forces in unexpected ways, leading to some tense and interesting situations. Another new character is a young prodigy in a certain type of magic who catches the attention of Ainz's subordinates and may play a role in future developments.
I'm not entirely sure which new characters are introduced specifically in volume 9. But generally, in the Overlord series, characters like Ainz Ooal Gown remain extremely important. His actions and decisions drive most of the story. The floor guardians such as Albedo also continue to be significant as they carry out Ainz's orders and protect Nazarick. There may be some minor characters from the human kingdoms or other races that are introduced to show the different perspectives in the world.
One important character could be new adversaries that Ainz and his group face. These characters bring new challenges and often have unique abilities or motives. Another might be some minor characters within the native population of the new world that help to flesh out the world - building aspect.
In this volume, the Lizardmen leaders such as Crusch Lulu are important. They represent the native species that Ainz has to deal with. Among Ainz's subordinates, Demiurge also stands out. He is very intelligent and his strategies and ideas are important for Ainz's plans. There are also other minor characters among the lizardmen tribes that add to the richness of the story.
