“the more the story progress the more he becomes an actual undead overlord with his human personna fading away.” (X7610x).



I also find the ‘repression’ dynamic compelling, it’s as if he’s transitioning from compatibalism towards hard determinism, as his will is overwritten. And this process seems to be making him more callous.



In his discussion with Gazef, it became clear that Gazef was motivated by Nationalism (including head of state). But if it was Ainz goal to make the Kingdom a Vassal nation, then Gazef’s Nationalism could have remainded intact. Specifically, Ainz could have superseded Gazef’s allegiance. The key advantage in doing so are the hints toward Ainz wanting a friend with whom he could have meaningful discussions. After Gazef died, this part of Ainz ‘heart’ seemed to wither and die too.



Given that Ainz could have easily captured Rampossa, he could have rushed Vassalization. If he had of done so, then the only thorn in his side would’ve been cutting out the dead wood (the nobility) in order for the Kingdom to thrive. And the easiest way to acheive that would’ve been to delegate responsibility to Renner.
