    I really like the part where you explain both human xenophobia and demi-human raids by geopolitics and pragmatism.

    Slane was not always this extreme. It was about protecting themselves at first, but changed to "exterminate them all" after the demon gods attacked them 200 years ago.
    But your explanation of why Slane did not attack the Abelion hills was really good, makes sense why they would not do a full-scale invasion. And I totally forgot that Slane is the closest nation the Beastmen would attack after the fall of the Draconic Kingdom

    While his influence is rather machiavellian...I firmly believe Ainz is and will continue to be the hero of both this story and the new world. Look at the chaos the world is in...now look at Ainz. He is, by nature, a peace loving guy who values positive growth and stability. In a very narrow scope his actions to establish the Sorcery Kingdom could be evil...but when seen through the lens of knowing certain things about Ainz we can see what he seeks is order. The kingdom was corrupt and weak. The Empire was feeding this for their own gain, which likely would have eventually come back to bite them. The theocracy is so dogmatic they cannot be trusted to be pragmatic. The demi-humans and heteromorphs are not unified in opinion on anything. Sheer chaos. This does not promote the good of the people nor any prosperity. Also none of those Ainz can ally with can be trusted with the vision Ainz has. They are all even more self-serving than Ainz believes he is. Under these conditions and understandings...what could have Ainz have done differently? Thus I think what we will see is the world wide prosperity rising as they either fall under his influence or follow his example so they can keep their sovereignty.

      As this video has indicated the morality is highly subjective and ambiguous, as is real life. As a result you could be correct, from one point of view. The real issue is what the author’s story arc purpose is; in order to retain some reasonable tension Ainz must eventually meet a force which is his equal. If not the story will become repetitive and boring. The force he meets will determine if he is the good or bad guy.

      Ainz and Nazarick can be compared with the Mongols of our world. Both planned to and conquered vast amounts of land and peoples. In that regard Nazarick is more subtle and indirect compared to the mongols but both still ended up resorting to wholesale slaughter and annihilation of populations to achieve their goals. But at least for a short while the mongols were able to create a prosperous empire where various different cultures and religions lived in peace. The Silk road trade was also reinvigorated by the new safety of the land provided by the mongols and their conquest. But all that was achieved with genocide so vast that the carbon dioxide levels of the world decreased because of it.

    Unless The Abelion Hills are incapable of sustaining agriculture for whatever reason, I would have to disagree on the demi-humans raiding human settlement for food being "pragmatic" in any sense of the word. One of the reasons humans started domesticating animals instead of hunting them was so that they wouldn't have to risk being killed by their potential prey anymore. Even though the average human village is of little to no threat against the raiders of a demi-human raid, they, mostly, should be intelligent enough to relyze that more powerful humans have, for centuries on end by the time of Overlord, retaliated to these raids in ways that end up killing many times more demi-humans than the numbers of humans who these retaliations are avenging. Not only that, but omnivores are an inefficient source of food due to how it takes 1,000 pounds of grass to create 100 pounds of herbivore, and in turn 10 pounds of predator, and since most species of demi-humans are carnivores, they would need to be as efficient in acquiring meat as possible, and I would hardly classify marching tens or even hundreds of miles to the nearest human settlement to be "efficient" in the least bit. Even if the region is indeed unsuited for agriculture, goats and sheep thrive in mountainous areas, cattle could easily be herded inside of valleys, and poultry can essentially be raised anywhere. They wouldn't even have to do all that much, just cut down the trees for maxium grazing lands, build a crude fence, capture a few dozen pairs of the edible species of animal alive for once, wait a few years, and just start killing one whenever food is required, wasting nothing of the animal and using every last part of it.

    It sounds like the continent we know is actually a lot bigger and there may be many more factions beyond the boundaries of what thus far been introduced to us. This world could be expanded significantly, but the author only intends to write 18 - 20 Volumes. So we may never see the entirety of the world or if any real threats lay slumbering out there.
