User blog comment:Howling Darkness/Meruem: Good or Evil?/@comment-27002614-20160609001439

Meruem is not evil, he was the rightful ruler of the world given his power. His opinion about humans initially was based on his Chimera Ant instinct, however later on his gains human conscience as he matures. Evil people don't get conscience with maturity

Towards the end, I would say Meruem was even better than most of humans, he could've easily killed a thousand people after he learned about the poisoning. That's what an evil person would do.

Anyway, his initial attitude towards humans can't be attributed to evil, since he was immature and still learning, which he corrected prior to his death.
