I'm conflicted. On one hand, I had it easier than people that followed it week by week, since I basically binged 165 chapters in two days and only had to wait one week more for the last one.
I am not sure if Aka wanted to play more Apex or whatnot, but it honestly felt a little too stretched at the end. What about all the people other than Ruby? Yes, there were panels depicting them. Not enough. Kana was just shown completely (and understandably) wrecked, but nothing more.
Yeah, I wish we got more of this series post-Aqua (as much as I criticize other manga for dragging things out). We have spent so long with these characters that ending things with just a panel or two after a traumatic event like that feels dismissive. It's already been announced that he has a new series starting next year, so I guess creative passions can come and go.
