That's kinda the premise of the whole damn thing, nobody is surprised about that.
Problems start when people start arguing that Ainz is actually the good guy, he is not, he is the villain.

He has his virtues, politeness, hard worker, compassion to those who serve him, keeps his word (kinda, sorta, mostly, usually, if not too inconvenient), and so on, but he is not the good guy, and the only reason he is planning to do any good, is to aggrandize himself and his old friends.
An argument can be made that, if/when Ainz takes over the world, the world will be a lot better place for quite a lot of people.
But argument that Ainz is a noble hero is, quite honestly, a non starter and misguided at best.

Usually, we judge people by their actions, not their intentions. If a person can make the world into a much better place when the previous one, will people see him as a hero or a villain? The thing is, even IRL, we have no way to know if the most exalted heroes in history really really had the most noble intentions in their mind when they conducted their heroic deeds.
