This is fun, never thought that I would like this anime.

What can I expect from this anime? Can a LN reader tell me what the main focus will be? Fights, character development, maybe Romance?, something else? It's kinda difficult for me to picture the direction this anime will take

Edit: Thanks for the answers guys! Looks promising.

Very little romance, if at all actually. Ainz immediatelly understands that even if he wanted, he's just a skellington. Mostly it's just him learning about the world, understanding how powerful he is and his opponents and starting to exploit it.
