He has to be. There is no way it took him that long to write that shit.
What the fuck possessed him to have Ainz and the elves just sitting in a forest doing fuck all for 80% of both of the most recent volumes is beyond me. Especially when the next 2 volumes are the one he wants to end on.
I have no real faith that the ending is going to be satisfying at this point. I hope it is but I know better. I cannot believe he had the audacity to release the 2 worst volumes to of the series and then say "oh yeah by the way the next two are the last ones" If the elf shit was contained to one volume it would have been much more bearable.

Fall of the Kingdom at least had more nuggets of cool or funny stuff sprinkled throughout even if a lot of it felt rushed as fuck.
For the elf stuff you could have condensed it into one book and cut out 99% of the elves except for the very beginning and end and the bit about how Aura and Mare were misinterpreting something Ainz said as him saying to keep an eye on Albedo and everything still comes together. So many wasted fucking pages in 15 and 16, and only the gags at the beginning before they left and were in the cafeteria were any funny.
The worst part is the absolute fucking drought that has happened afterwards too.
