The author's real-life younger sister, who was the model for Umaru, passed away while the manga was still being serialized.
Because of that, he fell into a massive slump, the serialization went off the rails, and he got tons of hate from readers for the rushed ending. He kept the reason hidden all this time until he finally revealed it a few days ago.
"The community is in shock and mourning after learning that the 'bad' ending they hated was actually caused by the author losing his sister, who the main character was based on. Everyone's switching from 'why was the ending so mid' to 'how did he even finish this.'"
