It's not so much that it wasn't portraying the actions in the book, it's because it didn't look as good as it does when you read and imagine it for yourself.

The problem with this fight is that it didn't feel real, and yes you could argue "it's fantasy it deasn't need to be real", but no, you need to keep track of your facts to keep the audiance immersed in the illusion.

Let's take Ainz and the first ogre kill for example, ignorring the fact that both models look goofy and stiff, the animation just didn't convey what the scene was supposed to show, as in: Ainz is so powerful that he can swing a greatsword with one hand and slice the ogre in two.

You can't feel that because there was no resistance in the cut. You might say "that was the point, he should cut through them like butter", yes but there is a diference between impresive and unreal, we all have some grasp of fizics in one way or another, we might not know the math but we can still understand the laws and how they afect us.

What is my point? the cut was not animated to slice through meat and bone, it just looks like Ainz swung his sword through air, clearly showing that a animator was given the 3D model and told "make it look like he swong his sword at something" he never got the ogre model he just animated Ainz and someone else did the ogres, afterwards they ware placed on the backdrop with no extra work in displaying the impact aside from adding a blood splatter. They didn't even bother to create a sliced ogre model, it's the same one with just a red line on it.

Sliced in half? nope. It just looks like Ainz switched to a paint brush at the last second and the ogre just fell over like he was just playing along "ugh, you got me, you are a true warrior, fall in pain then get sliced in half?! no. I ain't doing that!"
