My wife didn't like S3 of Overlord as much as S2 because she liked the idea of Ainz being more middle of the road anti-hero instead of legit villain.


But I mean, he is a legit villain. It's kind of a requirement to be a lich.


Yeah, but I think she meant more his inner dialogue. Definitely in the dub at least, the first couple seasons made him out to be a guy just protecting himself and his people. He made deals with people, he avoided straight up murder as much as possible. He staged ways in which both his Lich reality and the human-like guise he took would have power and influence without much issue.

Season 3, we see him murder people who last season he would have taken in as subordinates, and then murder seemingly hundreds of thousands of people to "make a point" he could have done with just murdering the King.


I mean, not exactly. It was more so because he was in an unfamiliar place, he doesn't know anything about this world, and more importantly, the capabilities of the people and creatures in it. Because of that, he wanted to keep a low profile, so they didn't make much noise, and stuck with protecting his people and gathering information without making a ruckus. He talks about on many occasions how he really doesn't care much for the people of the world. Plans have changed now, so he can make big displays of power. And as the show goes on, his human conscience is fading more and more into the Lich. Like, when he slaughtered the King's forces, he said he should have hangups, but he doesn't. All that matters is furthering Nazarick's power.
