Does the glacial pacing ever improve, and is the story as a whole more interesting than 'Ainz and/or minions accidentally steps on and crushes humans while doing his own thing?' I see Mfauli complain about alack of tension... is that generally the case, or do others see more of a struggle happening?

Thanks for chiming in.
The struggle is more on the "NPC" side and that's roughly how the anime works anyway.
For Ainz and his minions it's more like a steamroll, probably forever, but at the very least until now.

The later seasons will more often than not be seen from a point of view of his minions or his conquests/enemies, alongside the point of view of Ainz as well.

I think season 2 or Season 3(?) - The Lizardman Arc, is basically 3/4 from the PoV of NPCs.
And then later it's Sebaz (the butler) and the hero groups. Ainz will still give his thoughts, but he is rarely the main focus like he was in season 1 when he adventured as Momon or fought Shalltear
