I don't think there has been an update yet that has been even "meh" - this is a banger from start to finish.
I will say that I think with this new revealed backstory about Aria, it paints her much worse than she already was. She goes from being a pawn, to being the leader and thus 100% complicit in every murder at Solarin's hands. I already didn't like her because she betrayed the MC, but now I don't think an ending without her lying dead next to Solarin will be filling fulfilling.
The only disappointment was that that scene was just Emily daydreaming... dreams can come true, though, right?????
