looking for help fidning a book series.

i came across it on tv tropes and didn't remember the title. it was boasted as being a fantasy novel of exceptional parody, slightly akin to if you swapped everyone's personalities around. believe it was about a dark wizard/overlord/necromancer, who only wound up that way by coincidence and is quite a good guy. I even think his name was Jake Overlord or something, or John the Necromancer. as was every other anti-stereotype character (badass princess included). ring any bells?
