Overlord for has a premise of "OP MC", "world transfer",  "normal salaryman turned plutocrat overnight" and "MC got a villainous appearance", thats all was covered in one episode/chapter, and that is what gets people to keep reading/watchiing.

The word overlord itself is not synonimous to villain, so the story doesn't even began with "villain protagonist" but instead an "awkward MC trapped inside villain avatar"

current fanbase are saying that all of it is irrelevant and instead, they're saying that Overlord is about "Ainz doing questionable deeds to survive, escalated to Ainz doing whatever he wants as long as he benefits from it, because he can".

You know what, its false,, the MC of Overlord is always Satoru Suzuki and his avatar Momonga. Ainz and Momon is just a persona he created on a whim. The fact is, the very first thing Satoru Suzuki did when he arrived in NW is saving a woman in distress and helping everyone, so you can see where those dissapointment came from, there are people rooting for Momon and it takes up the majority of anime viewer especially, because Momon is mainstream.

All I can see now is, the author successfully tricked a lot of people into reading/watching  his works using those premise I mentioned as its sales pitch. But lets be honest, "Ainz doing whatever he wants because he can" is just another way of saying that Overlord is just a wish fullfillment power fantasy with self insert marry sue character, not saying that it doesn't have its own niche, but hey, those angry fans are what you get for getting peoples hopes up.
