Any good Overlord fanfics... Or stories with similarly, seriously OP isekai "bad guy" invaders... But written mostly (or at least in big part) from the point of view of the weak/ignorant native new world inhabitants, showing their not all that accurate understanding of the invaders nature, abilities, motivations, etc... things that are understandable to the readers however... ??

Yeah, I know such a story, it's called Overlord!

Seriously, half the stories are mostly from the perspective of the natives reacting to stuff Ainz does already. About all a fan-fic would do is cut out the Nazaric POV chapters, which I think would detract from the overall story. Actually, it's kinda standard fair in general to write from the POV of the OP character for the first few chapters, switch to the POV of the weak normies for the majority of the rest of the stories, and then bounce back to the OP character just long enough to get their perspective just before things get real. That's basically the formula of every OP main character storyline since the beginning of the webnovel era.
