Well the thing is that the Manga isn't always better than the Anime all the time.

The Manga skipped the [Shooting Star] Spell casting and the subsequent Ainz rage, and also skipped Ningredo just like the Anime did, even though the Manga could have added her as well. The Clementine death scene wasn't as good as it was in the Anime, and other things like Nazarick displaying its military power to the Lizardmen, the Cocytus vs Lizardmen fight too, the reveal of Renner's true nature and the recent Sebas vs Zero roflstomping were still lackluster compared to how the Anime did it.

And who knows, maybe the Workers massacre may be less brutal in the Manga, the Fluder vowing loyalty scene may be less impassioned compared to the Anime, or the Dark Young won't have that menacing smoking effect on their tentacles that the Anime added.

Granted some things the Manga did better, like the depiction of Angels, the addition of the healing through [Greater Lethal] on the Shalltear fight, it added the Meat Hulks and the Snap Grasp crab on the Iguva vs Lizardmen fight, Sebas massacring the people of the brothel and was more faithful to the Sebas vs Six Arms roflstomping. Maybe it will also add things I really wanted to see like the Great Library and Titus the Skeleton Mage.

That's why we have more than one adaptation since if you don't like one you can always stick with the other. The Manga may cover more details but it takes a good while since it's monthly.
