Bit too late now but I would've advised going with a pacifist or neutral run first if only for the variety and experience with the gameplay it offers you before attempting genocide. 1. But see, that goes against the message. You just got a nice, beautiful future of peace and friendship with your newfound friends...

....And then, just out of interest or boredom, you delete all that and kill them all?

2. I decided to go No Mercy first, and leave True Pacifist for last. Of course, with a hard save delete because fuck Chara, they were never in control.

3. Granted, morally-speaking I'm barely better than those who do the former, but it's a nicer ending?

1. Choice is up to the player to do that. Some never do. I did because it's a video game and I wanted to hear that sweet music and face the hardest boss battles in the game which you can't do without going down that route.

2. If you want to save the hassle, since you presumably already know the Chara sequence just don't do it. You can go all the way up to before you are given the choice to kill Flowey, quit there to save the hard reset.

3. I see actions in the game not as the actions of the character Frisk but myself controlling them. My motivation whether I would've chose genocide or pacifist first would still be with the intent to do both. Morally speaking I care little on that front due to it being a video game and see no reason to explain cutting them down to see a completely unique side to the game.

But seeing character actions as the player's and not Frisk's in this specific game is my own way to view it. Others can see it differently if they so wish. To each their own.
