I don't know how you could understand "hurt" as disperagement. It was said in the literal sense of the term, in a way.

It's really not a question of good or evil, which are concepts. Ainz is a conqueror, an unforgiving and ruthless one. He'll do anything to strengthen Nazarick and protect himself, his original subjects and probably his NW subjects.

That's all there is to it.

Yes, he would be considered evil by our twisted modern ages morals.

Why would the consequences of his actions be naturally "bad" for him though. It's as if you truly believe/expect that karma is going to punish him one way or another. That's simply not how it works.

As for judging, yes you can but before doing that you must try to put behind you the morals you were brainwashed with (like everybody) and broaden you opinion. Yes, it's difficult and hardly feasable but it can enable you to understand characters that you simply couldn't comprehend before. From that, you can build a proper opinion, according to me that is.

Overlord is not a novel where the "bad" gets punished and the "good" always wins, there's no dichotomy and "childish morals" in the novel, at least mostly. So don't expect divine retribution to strike him lol.
