A lot of people look at ainz actions and his successes, and believe it's just dumb luck, mostly because ainz believes it's all dumb luck, and granted that would usually be enough evidence. But this is a special case.

Ainz has changed species, and it has stated that his mental state has changed as well (emotional suppresser)

So why not assume that his mind has changed as well? The other theories about this subject say, that he either has high int stat, or he has high luck stat. For the first one ,there is no proof that there is such a thing called int stat. And for the luck stat the proof people point at is that, one of ainzes buffs is "greater luck" but that's no proof either, there is a buff called "immovable fortress " and it has nothing to do with an actual fortress. And even if, it was for increasing his luck, than we have no evidence that he casts it every single day. And overall witch do you think is more believable?

A magic that effects the entire world for ainz's benefit, or something that only effects ainz? As I said there is no proof for the two theories above. But we do have objective evidence about the differences in intelligence between species. In vol2: it was stated that ogre are physically stronger than humans. But intellectually inferior.

In one of the canon side stories: ainz summoned death knight, he states that as a death knight hes not very intelligent.

In vol 10 : ainz passes one of the high level undead he created and said that because in the game he was commander he could buff his comrades. But the death knight could not become stronger, but ainz respected hes ability to command and lead. Ainz couldn't know who he was summoning. But he knew if he summoned a commander he would be good at commanding.

Vol 12 : it is stated that some of the demi humans are more intelligent than humans, it was a judgment based on species, not individuals.

And we knew that, only a small part of ainz's human side remains and he has almost completely changed species.

And I know some may say that demiurge and albedo, species are not inherently smart. But the npc are almost like an entirely different species. That they hold anything other than nazarick in contempt is proof of that .because they were not created with their parents DNA but created through their settings. That’s why a vampire is also an Valkyrie.

So with everything I said above I think ainz is legit a genius, because his race doesn't scream, Lucky to me.
