DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS VOLUME!
by Ricky -
If you're looking for more of the story of the overlord and his guardians don't bother with this volume other than a small story about Sebas this book is a waste of your money! who cares about the stupid humans and their stupid golden princess? I felt ripped off reading this piece of trash GET ON WITH THE REAL STORY ALREADY!
Into the Kingdom
by Cioni -
First I'll say this volume of Overlord is a mandatory to read if you love Overlord. This is a setup volume for future events. The author couldn't fit the entire arc into one volume so a pair of volumes is what we have instead(just more Overlord though so look at it as a win). If you don't read this volume you'll be lost in future volumes.
New characters are introduced while some characters return getting further development.
Sebas is also a focuses in this volume and we get to see how he interacts with humans while on his mission. I found it interesting seeing his actions towards situations.
The volume dives into the Kingdoms capital and we learn more information about how things are in it. I liked this volume because the scope expands and we get to see more of the world.
Sorry if this wasn't the most fleshed out review but It's my first and I attempted to put as few spoilers as possible.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the world...

Volume 5 takes a break from Momonga and shows us how Ainz Ooal Gown's actions have started to affect the human world from the perspective of humans in the kingdom's capitol. It is unfortunately a two-parter, so we have to wait for the next volume to see all the plot threads play out, but this is still largely a self-contained story.
This volume will be especially delightful for fans of world-building/world expansion, and people who like large casts, as this book adds a number of new characters of import, as well as bringing back some old faces. While Momonga may not be the focus, there is definitely ample opportunity to display Nazarick's might.
Sebas-Sama the Re-Estize Capitol is waiting for your arrival
by JASON -
This Novel is mostly about Sebas and Solution in the capitol of the Re-Estize kingdom to collect information. It is a good read but if you are care about only the guardians or ains then you may find it lacking but as still it's a good read and have a better understanding of the series as you read book 6, 7, 8. So don't be discourage by other reviewer(s) that it's waste of time/money. I WILL encourage you to purchase it if you have already bought volume 1-4.
Set up and side track

this like book 4 is not focused on the main cast of Ainz and the rest of the guardians but instead on humans living in the kingdom i liked this one better then the last book as this has some purpose and is related to the plot but given what book came before this seems way better then it actually is. but given that this is part 1 of 2 you would need to get book 6 along with it to really see it pay off.
