I'll do my best.

Edgelord MC who wants complete "freedom" for his people.

Plot is constructed in such a way that in order to ensure the survival of his people (who live in an isolated island and are hated/feared by the outside world) he has to completely wipe out the outside world.

Edgelord MC proceeds to kill exactly 80% of the worlds population.

Stops at 80% because he actually didn't want to fully go through with it.

Says he actually is in love with his step sister who was lusting after his peepee throughout the series while he showed no interest.

It's also revealed he intentionally caused the death of his mom(the incident that set him on his path)through time travel shenanigans.

Dies at the hand of his stepsister who then marries someone else.

His other love interest marries some literally who farmer who bullied her once as a child.

Decades later the survivors of the outside world wipe out his home country anyway.

The ending managed to piss off the edgelord self-inserters, waifustrags, shippers, lorestrags, etc... who invested a decade of their lives into the series.

Wow that's insane lol. Is the mangaka a hack or is he a Chad who wanted to throw a curveball?

A bit of both? It's really not the sort of story where "happily ever after" makes any sense, and the MC was totally an angsty manchild for the entirety of the series. Ending things by giving him incel proclivities and having him killed by his love interest to stop a childish tantrum of a genocide undertaken in the name of "freedom" fit the story's tone pretty perfectly imo.

Tbh I don't expect most anime fans to handle that kind of bleakness well

I rarely use the term hack. I never liked the show(way too melodramatic even by anime standards) but it had some interesting ideas/imagery that could've been put to good use. But anyone who has even a decent grasp of what good writing is can tell from early on that it was never going to match fanboy expectations. You can tell from the racial preservation/genocide theme what kind of crowd this was going to attract(hint: one of their subs /r/Yaegerbomb / /r/Yeagerbomb got banned for nazism). So you had these guys who were unironically calling it one of the greatest pieces of literature ever and the MC one of the greatest characters of all time, not just in anime mind you but in all of media and not only did the author fail to deliver a semi-decent shonenshit ending, he completely shat on every single one of their headcanon.

Did he do it to spite the obnoxious fanbase he'd cultivated? I mean I'd like to think that's the case because it's funny but in reality he most likely wrote himself into a corner and failed at subverting expectations with a "mature" ending.

Good thing I always lose interest in long series media after a year at most, imagine being invested into something for a decade and then you get shit on so hard. :marseylaughpoundfist:

One more thing however:

time travel

Yeah, it's because he can access the memories of all of the people belonging to his "race" and can "influence" their actions in the past or something like that. So his actions sort of form a closed loop.

I just want someone with the balls to justify genociding the rest of the world for your people.

Wait what? That's only in the manga, right? Because I don't remember any of that from the tv series.

Decades later the survivors of the outside world wipe out his home country anyway.

Sounds reasonable. They've been wanting to kill his people for decades, and when he finally has the chance, he fails to protect them, and they eventually kill his people.

Yes, these reactions are pretty much about the manga ending.

The series ends for me with the TND. I don't even have to wait for some decent fan-ending to be satisfied, just stop watching at some point.
