Onna dakara, to Party wo Tsuihou Sareta no de Densetsu no Majo to Saikyou Tag wo Kumimashita - Ch. 27.2

[YoraeRasante]

That's the problem he has had a successful life, he has a list of very impressive achievements

But they don't feel like things he should have achieved knowing how much of a dumb loser he really is, he doesn't behaves like the competent evil mage he is supposed to be, he is a doofus that doesn't knows what he wants or even how to get what he wants, and then lashes out towards women, but it doesn't even makes sense why women are his target when his peer and other men also ridiculed him before he even managed to get married, even his psychological complexes are all over the place

The issue here is that, as stupid as he is, he is also... kinda realistic in an annoying way.

It does not matter how successful overall he is, he is obsessed with one goal and no matter what he does it only has worth if it pushes him towards that one goal.

As idiotic as he may be, he knows how to work the crowd. He did get a political marriage, and was able to convince everyone he was a great guy and Laplace was evil for three centuries, even being cozy with and manipulating people in power.

And he blames a group of people for his failures. Now, this one is targeted around females, and since the whole story seems to be males vs females it feels very much forced. But unfortunately many people just blame a group for their issues regardless of if they are even related to it or not.

to answer your first part it's all of those things. at first he wanted to be recognized/respected more then others and he heard that making weapons would do that. this made him thinking that the ultimate weapon would be the way to be recognized as the best. he did so and got what he wanted from it. however he then realized that fame and being respected dont mean squat when youre dead so he wanted immortality so he could always bask in that praise.

Seemed to me like the opposite.

His research had always been about immortality, but without showing something successful in all that time studying he would lose his position. So he went into what was popular, weapons, and got famous for it all and Laplace's issue.
But his goal had always trully been about immortality.

What is his one goal again?

Because i counted like 5 different ones, some completely unrelated to each other

It is not really becoming immortal, or making a great weapon, or getting the perfect bride, or being recognized, or just making life for women miserable out of spite

Because in a way he already accomplished some of those objectives, in a roundabout way

The goal is power.

Bro wants to create a wife that won't leave him, because he knows every sane one would would do so immediately

It does seem as if this should feel over the top shittyness for a single human being to be and yet it feels completely right for this guy in this manga. Hopefully we get his egomaniacal rant followed by the ladies smashing/blasting/slashing him to bits without too much effort to show how weak and pathetic he is behind his delusions. Although with body snatching established, he may well come back with a new face.

Has he ever touched grass?

Bet his favorite tags are emotionless sex and ryona.

Wow, what an incredibly insecure misogynist shithead. And so the rotten cherry on top of the cake of shit called Maxwell is that he's a completely crazy misogynist who abused his wife and daughter. His wife drew the shortest of sticks for a "husband", good thing she was at least able to run away from him, but sadly she left her daughter behind. No wonder the country's society had changed so much in 300 years after he gained much influence and political power.

This is some SAO Abridged Grimlock level logic here.
