Manga: Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu
The protagonist of both novels share a similar characteristics, mainly -A former MMORPG player sent into a fantasy world -Both are mage players -Overpowered (Abilities, items, etc.) -cautious about their opponents -Ruler-like attitude(pretending) -May look like badass from the outside but actually....they're not(in the inside) The setting in both novels are somewhat similar, with most of the inhabitants weak and the protagonist strong. In addition, the protagonist has servants(overlord)/slaves(Isekai Maou) with them. Differences -Overlord starts off with the protagonist having an overpowered guild base -Isekai Maou is somewhat less darker and gory than Overlord -As of now, the story of Isekai Maou centers around the main protagonist. In Overlord, the story may centered on  read more

Manga: Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu
Similar concept of overpowered characters with non-welcoming appearances being thrown into a new world. Momonga in Overlord acts as the absolute ruler of his guild, Arc in Skeleton-sama acts as a traveller attempting to break the "curse" of his undead body. While Overlord is very character driven, along with plenty of politics peppered in, Skeleton-sama focuses almost exclusively on Arc's endeavors, while giving brief glimpses into the political world and how it changes due to Arcs' unannounced arrival. Momonga uses his powers for his own personal gain, while Arc wants to live a quiet life but keeps winding up in complicated affairs trying to help others.

Manga: Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken
Take all the world building and conquering, and take away the schemes and dialog, and speed everything up by 10 fold, and you'll have Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken.

Manga: Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!
Certainly inspired by Overlord. 1. New powerful world society under an isekai protagonist lord. 2. Protag is anti-hero in nature/belief and holds 2 separate identities 3. "Genius mastermind" main character but realistically, all the side characters do the big brain planning and information gathering. They just overcredit their clueless master in a comical manner. 4. HUGE ONE: the servants (combat maids in Overlord) primarily have names associated to the greek alphabet. Naturally, both have a character with some beast connection. 5. In general; plenty of magic & political fantasy stuff

Manga: Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu
Guy gets transported into a different world and as it show out, he is absurdly overpowered, to the point he alters the fate of the whole new world. While the protagonist of Mushoku Tensei isn't so evil as in Overlord, he is kind of selfish and pursuing own interests and as it is later shown, has the potencial of doing evil.

Manga: Yondome wa Iya na Shizokusei Majutsushi
Death Mage is like a poor man's Overlord. One follows an isekai'd human turned villain who controls a group of villains, while the other follows a double-isekai'd human turned fake-villain/Hero who controls a group of villains and normal people. One starts out extremely overpowered, while the other slowly becomes extremely overpowered. If you like Overlord you should find Death Mage a decent way to pass the time until Volume 15 releases. Just be ware that the world building and writing is far inferior in Death Mage with most things having the depth of "a forgotten country thousands of years ago."

Manga: One Punch-Man
Obsurdly overpowered main character who struggles to find anyone who can at least put up some fight. Fights are ended decisively and it usually takes longer to get into that fight than the fight itself.

Manga: Shinjiteita Nakama-tachi ni Dungeon Okuchi de Korosarekaketa ga Gift "Mugen Gacha" de Level 9999 no Nakama-tachi wo Te ni Irete Moto Party Member to Sekai ni Fukushuu & "Zamaa!" Shimasu!
Commonalities: -They both have an OP MC, with many strong and fanatically loyal followers. -They both have all the fantasy tropes (different races, magic, dungeons, monsters). Differences: -Overlord is an isekai, while 9999's MC is from the world. -9999 is a revenge story. -In 9999 the MC is human, and the human race is heavily discriminated against. -Overlord is a lot more political. Conclusion: 9999 is budget overlord. Overlord has a lot of world-building and political elements, while 9999 is a lot faster paced. 9999 is pretty good so far, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for more overlord, and vice versa if you somehow found 9999 before overlord.

Manga: Tearmoon Teikoku Monogatari: Dantoudai kara Hajimaru, Hime no Tensei Gyakuten Story
Both protagonists are leaders of a nation, and they both move in a way that are heavily misunderstood (in a good way) by their servants and allies. The perceptions of them by their servants are exaggerated as if they are 10 steps ahead of everyone else.

Manga: Tearmoon Teikoku Monogatari: Dantoudai kara Hajimaru, Hime no Tensei Gyakuten Story @comic
Mia is constantly being praised for her wisdom, despite the fact that it is all just a facade. All of her knowledge is derived from her past life and what others told her previously, and yet everyone constantly misunderstands her to be a genius. This leads to a lot of hilarious misunderstandings and really is a great read!
