I wished Zero survived and not absorbed by that Muzan wannabe. I loved the troupe where monsters learn how to be human.
Also did they explain where Zero and the monsters really come from? Is it just a power trip of some gods?

I recommend reading sweet home (shot gun boy is the prequel to it) to get an answer to your question :))
SPOILER IF YOU'RE LAZY:
Basically in sweet home, the people turn into monsters if they have a very strong desire and died without fulfilling that desire. For example, if someone wants to be the fastest runner and is obsessed with the idea of being the fastest runner but dies before fulfilling that, they will turn into a monster. And usually, the monster form they have is something to do with their desire, so in my example, that person might have super strong legs in monster form.

Lowkey annoyed me when the FL changed the plot then will still forced the characters to follow the said plot. Especially when they are reincarnated and NOT transmigrated. They already lived their whole life in it but still treat the people like some letters in a novel. For sure, she can think of other ways to save the ogFL while not ignoring the ML's feelings.

But the thing is, they don't have much chemistry.. Uke is literally just coerced and forced to accept. Their relationship isn't fleshed out, aside from pretty privilege, how the hell do the seme fell that hard? Is it because the uke became weak crybaby and a literal damsel in distress? But he looks so cool in the beginning :(
I really like the artstyle though, it reminds me of Plaything which is also coercion lol

Love so great she got pregnant so her Emi can be reborn. I wanted to see more of the other male leads suffering but I'm glad that they omitted Pina getting raped as her punishment. I don't think rape should be a punishment for a woman regarless.
Also, still best villainess manga for me. Art really captures the emotions.
"My heart is here"
"I'm not ready to lose you"
"It was always you"
I like the princess but I think even if she disappears from the plot, it will remain the same. Regardless of everything, they are soulmates.
