The first few episodes of Season 1 honestly weren't great. The first book however, was good. These things the anime watchers nitpick about are rarely an issue in the books, since the books had time to show things properly.

There's a simple thing the previous comments didn't point out. The MC lived in a futuristic dystopian polluted hellhole where one's birth was all that matter. His world and life would make Blade Runner's look like a paradise. And so the game and his in-game friends were his life, literally.

But at the end of the day, Overlord (the books) is only considered good among others of its kind, genre fiction. That's purely entertainment. If you don't feel entertained or are tickled off then it's best not to read or watch it. Personally, I enjoyed it because when I looked for more stuff like One Punch Man, I found Overlord. It scratched an itch.
