''Avesta'' is an exception as [[WordOfGod according to Masada]], the first era is so close to the Zeroth era that powerful magic and abilities can still be used with relative ease.

The series is also known for its rather verbose writing and over the top scale. This has had the somewhat unfortunate side-effect of making the novels infamously difficult to translate properly, making good translations hard to come by. However, with the official English release of ''Dies Irae'', that now seems to be changing. Unfortunately, Greenwood, the parent company of Light, closed it's doors at the end of March 2019 leaving both the series itself and any future English localization's up in the air.

* {{Ubermensch}}: A central and recurring theme throughout the series is that of characters forming their own beliefs and moral codes that breaks not only the the social norms, but the norms of the universe itself and then imposing that belief upon the world. The hegemonic gods are those that has managed to take this all the way, to make their beliefs the new reality.

Originally starting with the somewhat experimental novel ''Paradise Lost'' in 2004, the series has since grown as each new installment added more to the world at large. While each story is self-contained, they all tie together in a multiversal canon where large scale RealityWarping is a common occurrence and where strong enough individuals can impose new natural laws in accordance with their own desires.
