The true ending would be fine In the books. you clearly see danyearys or however you spell her name going crazier and crazier. With her having plenty of mad king moments that were never included in the show. It's why he going crazy is so left field in the show. They didn't include any of her crazy moments and painted her as a good leader
I think the seeding was definitely there in the shows. The gloss of everything she does being "good ruler" is in fact kind of the point, meanwhile characters by her side are pointing out how questionable her choices are and how shes losing her magnanimous edge. It did however feel like 70% buildup with the last 30% skipped over and rushed

Agree, and I suspect that this is a problem for the source material as well. I've seen some people claim that Dany going "Mad Queen" would make more sense in the books because there's more room to develop that twist... except we are at book 5 of 7 now, meaning that book Daenerys as we've seen her up to now is in fact also at 70% of her total development.
If Martin intends to have Dany nuke a city (and I doubt Benioff and Weiss came up with that all by themselves), I predict that he will similarly have to rush through the remaining character development in the 30% of Dany chapters remaining to him...
