^ In the case this is a reply to my comment. Then again I'm not saying he is not wish-fullfilment, just that it is not the type usually portrayed in isekai stories, at least not as the protagonist. And later on Ainz strays from the purely wish-fullfilment character by having is new "identity" taking over him, the human he was is losing himself under the influence of his overlord persona. Usually any evolution in a wish-fulliflment character happens by their own accord fullfilling their wish, that's what makes them wish-fullfilment. But in Ainz's case, he (the player) is not evolving towards what he wished to be, he just wanted to be the master of the best guild in a game, not a detached undead king. So yeah, he starts as a wish-fullfilment character but later on evolves into something different, not because he is a "villlain" (imo he's rather neutral right now) but because what he's becoming doesn't follow what he wished to become.
