Don't watch much isekai soneat to watch one of the big ones pretty late.

It's funny thinking that this series could have been full comedy of guy desperately trying to keep his cool but the actual serious nature of what's going does serve the series well with moments of levity.
Ainz being told by Peroncino that he can't enjoy an adult game he just bought because his sister voices in it. An odd question of isekai is always "Why not just make it fantasy?" And at the very least I can say this series does manage to feel like the reason works out a bit. Ainz is working on little knowledge so a lot of this is him figuring out what the hell even works and the guardians memories of the "Supreme Beings" help add some levity to them venerating what was essentially a bunch of nerds hanging out. Especially with Ainz going "For the love of god stop being cringe" to the one npc he made even as he has a battle maid army under him now. That being said it is funny the final confrontation of this season was essentially Ainz going "We had the ultimate weapon: the ability to whale." Takes me out of it a bit but again isekai is an odd thing where part of the appeal IS game mechanics and I mean it's essentially a power fantasy series so it's hard to criticize too much.
