I read through this manga a few times before it ended. Maybe it was just me and I was misreading the clues, but it seemed to me that the identity of the Demon Lord with the wings was somehow the main character. Like some sort of timeline double.
When it ended with a nobody, I was more disappointed than if it it were someone else that was already an established character.
It was anticlimactic and I kind of feel like the clues sprinkled in the last 100 chapters just don't point to someone random face. I don't know. Oh well. ( ̄へ ̄)

I actually ended up doing a little bit more reading into this and I found out that people were already aware of the ending at the beginning of this year. From what I saw, a huge majority of the fans of the light novel and later, the manga (from the raws) were really disappointed in the ending.
Apparently I wasn't the only one who saw the foreshadowing of the main character ultimately being the antagonist. There's a rumor that the author of the light novel grew tired of writing the light novel and just went a completely different direction toward the end.

Honestly I thought "is the big baddie the OP from the future or some alternate universe or something?" as well at a few points in the story. With how hidden and mysterious the big baddie was I expected some big reveal. Instead he turned out to just be a random rogue experiment from the past. A nobody we'd never heard of or seen before from the perspective of the manga.
Not only that, the entire confrontation between the big baddie and the hero started and was resolved in one chapter and a few pages. Feels like a rushed ending, so I wouldn't be surprised if the author was just done with it and quickly wrote an ending into it.

All I have to say is BRAVO! This was actually a really good read and I really enjoyed it. I've read many smut comics and none of them hit the same way this did. Good characters, good story and the naughty bits were contextually significant.
I found myself cracking up so many times reading this. It was great. 10/10 for me and that's a first, for a smut anyway.
-- that said that this was supposed to be completely different? The ones that posted on the LN forums and even here a few years back? Where it seems they diverged around webtoon chapter 50?
From what I recall, even if those spoilers and synopses were fake, they were better than this.
I'm just waiting for it all to end. Like pulling a bandaid or gritting it through Beauty and The Beasts.
I don't think I've ever thought, "Gee, even though the spoilers were fake, I wish it happened that way instead of this way".
Unless... is there a WN and LN of this??? I know many times they make big plot changes between the two.
