Why?
Side character is built up just to get killed a few chapters later
Logan Davis
Dominic Anderson
Momonga is a no-goodunk, that’s why
Luis Ross
You’re watching a wish fulfillment show like overlord. What were you expecting?
Caleb Ramirez
because the author goes "oh god oh fuck im gonna kill this guy off but nobody will give a shit"
Zachary Rogers
That his group ended up being Ainz's slaves
Jaxon Wood
Meaningful conflict is the soul of drama.
Overlord would've been way better if there were multiple warring players. Sort of a world suffering at the hands of inexplicable gods continuing their feud. I hate to say this, but it should've taken a page from the very last arc of SAO.
Joseph Sanchez
It subverts your expectations so it's good

Overlord is really good with side characters.
MC is like Jaws some unstoppable monster that only we know about.
We get introduced to a character and follow them and see how they get caught up in his quest for world domination.
Showing us the perspective of side characters is really interesting as well. Like how the races have different sayings or strange quirks that only their species has.
Also because it shows us their perspective we understand how they see Ainz. This is really interesting in the LN from the Emperors perspective. Because he sees Ainz as this all knowing unstoppable god like being and then when we get to Ainz's side of it we learn everything that has happened is just a comedy of errors.

Because it's a deconstruction of shonen your retard. Not only did it show the power of friendship didn't work, it's also reveal the hypocrisy of other series where a group of murderous "adventures" just invade wherever they like to kill and pillage like it's their natural right and retarded audiences just eat that up without questioning their morality, just because what they kill are "monsters".

This. Overlord is a HunterxHunter of shounen.
