>Fate is le evil god hates you
I haven't said anything like that. Like I said, most characters trying to fight fate in the game are very destructive and ruthless, including the player on the Weird Route.
>questioning what is the purpose of having such freedom
And the game does that quite well, showing that their freedom is either empty to them or looks like complete insanity to anyone on the outside.
>make your own destiny with the power of friendship
But I also don't really have a problem with this part. Fate is just something you gotta deal with sometimes, but that doesn't mean you must stop trying to make things better if you really care about something or someone. Not because you wanna spite the world or because you wanna piss on everyone from orbit, but simply because you want someone else to be happy.

To be honest, DR fills that gap perfectly for me. The meta stuff is not as in-your-face as in UT and can be written off as "the powers that be" fucking with the world. Deltarune falls perfectly into the subgenre of "cute critters being tossed around by cosmic forces and learning to overcome suffering through hope and friendship" that I really love.
