For a quick, practical route: get the Yen Press editions. The English 'Overlord' light novels are officially licensed by Yen Press, and you can buy legal digital copies on Kindle, BookWalker, Google Play, Apple Books, and Kobo. If you prefer paper, order from bookstores or online shops that carry Yen Press releases.
If you don’t want to buy, check library apps like Libby/OverDrive or Hoopla—availability varies but sometimes they have the titles. Some volumes also have audiobook versions; search Audible or the publisher’s site to confirm. I tend to alternate between ebook purchases during sales and borrowing from the library when I’m catching up, and that combo has worked great for enjoying 'Overlord' without resorting to unauthorized sources.
There’s a surprisingly satisfying way to read 'Overlord' without skirting the law: buy or borrow the official releases. The English light novel is officially published by Yen Press, so the cleanest route for English readers is their print or ebook editions. I usually grab mine on Amazon Kindle because I read on the commute, but you can also find legit digital copies on BookWalker, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Kobo, and other major ebook stores. If you prefer paper, local bookstores (or big online retailers) stock the Yen Press volumes too.
If you want to keep costs down, check your local library apps like Libby/OverDrive or Hoopla—my library sometimes has the volumes in ebook form, and that saved me a bunch when I was catching up. There are also audiobook versions for some volumes; I listened to one while gardening and it was a fun way to experience the world of 'Overlord' in a different format. Lastly, remember that 'Overlord' originally began as a web serial by the author, but the legal, polished translations are the published Yen Press editions—supporting them helps keep the translations coming and lets the creators and publishers continue doing their work. Happy reading, and tip: buy the special editions if you like art and extras—they’re great to have on the shelf.
If you want to read 'Overlord' legally online, start with the publisher. Yen Press holds the English license for the light novels, so their editions are the official translations. I tend to check the publisher’s site first, then follow links to reputable stores—BookWalker, Amazon Kindle, Google Play, Apple Books, and Kobo all carry Yen Press ebooks. I’ve bought volumes on BookWalker before because they sometimes have promos and JP/Global imprints, and the interface is nice for light novels.
For a no-cost-but-still-legal option, use your public library’s digital services. Libby/OverDrive often has light novels, and Hoopla can carry titles depending on regional licensing. It’s worth searching those apps before buying. Also, if you’re into audiobooks, some volumes have audio releases—search Audible or the publisher’s announcements to see which ones are available. Bonus tip: following Yen Press on social media alerts you to sales and official reprints, which is perfect if you’re hunting for out-of-print volumes or collector’s editions. Supporting official channels keeps translations sustainable, and it makes the world of 'Overlord' easier to enjoy long-term.

Until the day everything was taken from him.
His wife murdered.
His daughters stolen.
And he himself slaughtered, powerless to protect the people he loved.
But death did not end his story.
Dragged into a supernatural realm after dying, Alaric made a desperate bargain:
power in exchange for completing a mission in the future.
A mission he did not understand.
He returned to Earth centuries later—only to realize his revenge no longer existed.
Four hundred years had passed.
His family long gone.
Their killer long dead.

To break his immortal curse…
