Synopsis
In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come.
A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will.
There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew.
[Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]

Absolutely love this novel. I can't recommend it highly enough honestly. I've read thousands upon thousands of books, and this one is up there in the favorites category... and it's still being written! The Frost Giant arc was perfection *chef's kiss*.
Ok so this is a fic of Overlord world building with many OC and you won't get to see Papa Bones if at all so I'm just giving 5 stars for World Background and 5 for the Writing Quality
i have read it on another website and it's really 👌 💯 🔥 (good). if you are interested in kingdom building this is it for you. I can't recommend this enough the characters are very nuanced and lovely to read about

Here to give my review on this amazing fanfic! This is definitely a bit different, really something you rarely see here on webnovel (Which is another reason for why I uploaded it here). At first it seems a bit dull and boring, for the first like 10 chapters you start off in a ruined village. Not really what you'd expect from an overlord fanfic, but don't worry bout that because it picks up and only gets better from there. This isn't a story where the characters become insanely strong immediately but instead has a good albeit a bit slower pacing than your usual story. This doesn't have to do with the timeline progressing slowly but the author being more intricate and detailed about the events occurring. The author also has good grasp on how to write, we see actual good descriptions of medieval like society and it's functions. The mechanics of the economics and politics is also on another level, there's probably barely any webnovel here that can stand up to this one. The grammar is also impeccable. As for how the story moves: There won't be too much "action" especially in the first volume, but after you dive deeper and learn more you realize that every character has a goal and something set. That's what the beginning of the novel does. Beyond that it'll slowly pick up as the characters become more involved in the world's workings. (Also you might think that you need a lot of knowledge from overlord canon but it's not really necessary, to begin with this story doesn't just ride the canon it evolves with it. So be sure to give it a try! And also if you like it support the original author on fanfiction.net and royalroad.com) Not the best review but at least it's a review.
