I think you feel that way is it's because he's just uninterested. Outside of the (very few) personal connections he made, he had no reason to be invested into the situation until the coup. And even during the coup, his only concern was just to skip out because it didn't really concern him. It was only on his whim that he chose to "save" her, and doing so meant he now had some investment on what was going on. He just took it to the highest degree from the start, instead of baby steps.Something about this feels really unsatisfying. He wasn't really an enemy with the kingdom, nor were they constraining him that much, and the the non-surviving princess was bratty but was becoming a likeable character; so the sudden shift of them all dying and being removed from that situation and having little rumination on it just makes the main character... Unlikable? But not in the cool anti-hero/villain kind of way, but just plain unlikable.
Like he "befriended" several people in this kingdom, but doesn't seem to care about them in the slightest at the same time. He doesn't care about the kingdom, but went out of his way to kill all the soldiers in this coupe. He seems to love fighting and getting stronger, but is scared of the idea of there being more heroes.
I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but he's character feels inconsistent or something.
To my understanding from the story he’s made to be an edgy character.Something about this feels really unsatisfying. He wasn't really an enemy with the kingdom, nor were they constraining him that much, and the the non-surviving princess was bratty but was becoming a likeable character; so the sudden shift of them all dying and being removed from that situation and having little rumination on it just makes the main character...

Where the writer is writing an edgy story.Honestly, this is a "things happen because they happen" manga.
MC just decided to exterminate everyone because... ? He just decided to burn down the castle because... ? He just decided to proclaim himself the Demon Lord and declare war on the world because... ?
I don't know where any of this is going and I'm not certain the writer knows either.
When he turned Aliyah (ch 16), his options were narrowed down to "escape with her but have to deal with pursuers", and "kill everyone", and in true edgelord fashion, he chose the second.I can't for the life of me understand why in the fuck he went into berserk super vilain mode.
Did they explain at some point? I don't remember it... Feels like he turned into a menace from one to the next.
