No one said it was the end of the series, just possibly the end of the skill-eater arc.
I don't think in the entire history of manga, there has been even one example case of a series completing the main goal and the manga hastily sets up some new goal in order to keep going that wasn't eluded to at all previously to, which then actually turned out to be good.

History and much, much experience has taught me that the moment a series expands the scope because the author wants a paycheck still: BAIL, get the fuck out and never look back.

Hitomi Chan is Shy of Strangers

Uzaki San wants to Play

There was another ecchi rom-com where the crushes and misunderstandings were resolved and the manga continued for another 100 chapters of them having wholesome but lewd moments.

The Young Lady is Vulgar or something. The guy is straightlaced with glasses and uses and abacus, rich ojou-sama wants baby making seggs with him but is verbally abusive. And they're going out in story currently.

and the villain just reveals who they are because why? Why give up that element of surprise? Whatever, we are at the final arc so got to wrap things up.
Probably because part of her plan relies on Philo to some extent, apparently. So pressuring Philo for w/e it is she needs out of her acting in desperation (which is what I took from her taking an interest in Philo while she was producing items to give Lavi that one time) seems valid.

It wasn't for the paycheck, but did you stop reading Dragonball after the Red Ribbon Army arc and getting the Dragon Balls then?

I don't think you guys quite understood what I mean or haven't properly encountered it before.

I'm talking about a goal that the very foundational bedrock of the entire story was built on since minute one. Not minor or even major goals with obvious continuation points after that, I'm talking about things on the level of say "Monkey D. Luffy finds the One Piece, becomes the pirate king, overthrows the world government, and then suddenly find out that the four seas and grand line are only 1% of the world's surface really and now there's a 'world world government' and a real, much better One Piece to find.", that sort of thing.

When the author presents a specific big goal as being everything, the MC achieves it, and then the author doubles or more the previous goal to keep things going while simultaneously cheapening what the MC's already done. Goal inflation.

I'm sorry, but you already stuck it in merchant fox in that slime episode. The only way forward is marriage now.
Anyways thanks for the meal.

Girl just trying to take a bath and think about her precious Lavi. She didn't want to hear the bombshell you just dropped "Ms. Mastermind".
