I completely agree. To me this feels a bit pointless.

But even more than that I dislike how his "death" has been used as a cliffhanger since volume 11 to "motivate" people to read the later volumes. The way it has been handled feels cheap and amateurish.

Maybe it's just me thinking too highly of Maruyama-sensei(or not), but based on what I know of how editors work in the manga industry, this "Ainz is dead" thing used since volume 11 feels like it has the hands of the editors all over it.

It would have very likely been much more impactful(no matter how they'll proceed to make Ainz "die" in vol 13) had we not known about it beforehand.
