Thank you for all your support, and when you get to the end, well Volume 5 has yet to be sponsored, but I will happily consider it. :) This has been a pleasure.

Yeah, honestly I thought about what I could do differently with the runesmiths... but that seemed so very in character with Ainz that nothing else made sense, it felt like clunk, like change for the sake of change, so I felt that sticking with that was the most logical. While the Jaldabaoth stuff was fun, putting him in a completely different setting with a restriction I felt like human Ainz would include... which was predictably misunderstood, honestly my favorite parts of this was the underlying subtext and the chance to develop Demiurge's inner self a bit more. He's usually presented as just an evil genius, but I've always thought there was more to him.

The most interesting parts are about Jaldabaoth, because they are different from canon. We all know Ainz was going to form a diplomatic relationship with the Dwarves and recruit their runesmiths. With how long the light novel is, reading a different version of it feels like re-reading. Fanfiction is all about changing things up using the settings from the original story, not retelling the original story.
