    I’ve only finished the anime up to season 4, but I don’t think the theme is that “Nazarick is evil and evil skeleton overlord is fun”, but rather “do the ends justify the means Nazarick takes”, given that Ainz wants to create a utopia where all races live in harmony. It’s very interesting writing given how much time and humanity is given to side characters that are eventually destroyed or imperialized by Nazarick.

      They are somewhat nuanced and ideologically motivated bad guys, I’ll give you that. And it does make the anime interesting, especially compared to your standard isekai/VRMMO anime
