S4 Episode 2:

And THAT was a shit episode :/

Sigh

I don't understand how this anime can afford to waste an entire episode on this boring, uninteresting side event. This doesn't need 20 minutes. And it's exactly the kind of happening that made me dislike season 2 and 3: Human stoopid and weak, Albedo smart and powerful.

We get it. Humans are vastly inferior to Ainz' troops. We had 3 full seasons of establishing that. Can we PLEASE focus on mankind's counterattack now?!

Since I'm a horny weeb, I would have actually loved a side plot featuring a human man trying to court Albedo, except in a smarter way that might have a chance to exceed, something like meeting with Ainz and proclaiming "Ainz-sama, I hereby announce the beginning of my courtship of the beautiful Albedo. Albedo-sama, I realize how daring my desire is, me, a worthless human, attempting to win the heart of powerful demon lady such as you. But if you will grant me only one wish, then please tell me today what it'd take for you to be with me instead of Ainz-sama." And then there'd be plenty of possibilities from there, like him training to become stronger, probably failing, but maybe still manage to start some tiny emotion within Albedo, and so on.
But no, we get a dumb idiot who won't accomplish anything. UGh.

Isekai where the main character is totally overpowered and hardly ever needs to struggle is exceptionally common. The only thing that makes this series just a little bit unique, is that the MC is evil. Otherwise this is no different from the huge load of OP MC isekai stories. There must be a significant audience in Japan for stories where everything is easy for the MC. That's just how it is.

I wouldn't be so sure Ainz and Nazarick will ever face any great difficulties. Maybe the story will throw a curveball at some point. It remains to be seen. It's pretty safe to assume that any threat won't come from the empire or the kingdom, though. They are totally helpless.
