"Disgusting" lol

First Shimon's admiration for Seigen-san wasn't put in as an afterthought.

Second Mayura was never planned to be killed off but very obviously characterized with big potential even before she turned into a Kegare ochi.

Third in the manga it's clear that Benio's "power-up" isn't something she simply received but something that had already been there because her guardian spirit is Douman. This was very likely planned from the start of the manga, since the foundation of the whole story is the balance/inbalance of yin and yang.

Everyone can have their own interpretation. Just don't sell them as facts. As you said yourself, "on paper there isn't really anything wrong with [Shimon x Mayura]."

Personally, I don't like Rokuro x Mayura because he has always been oblivious to her feelings. I would rather see her with someone, who understands her than someone, who likes her because she's always been there. I agree to the 'fated lovers' trope. It is a bit overused and has no room for high conflict. The ending is obvious: They will end up with each other because they fell in love despite the prophecy. But every story has its certain amount of clichees it's build on. So you could stop reading/watching anything if tropes disgust you.
