i just finished it today, had a thorough reread of most of his work (Kaufman translation)

Ecce homo is a last string of copypasta where he essentially summarizes his books sarcastically

The essential point is to digest and destroy all old moralities, go on a journey of self overcoming, and ultimately create new values that one is then supposed to defend and forget, for the sake of making these values instinct.

He hates liberal thinking (abolishing bad weather and suffering) and sees in liberal, socialist, and Christian thinking a lot of the same tendencies, herd animal, sickly, slave morality.

He would essentially expect the overman to do something great, ie a new renaissance that overcomes christianity and sickness, has a grand project of values and art and politics

I've read him a few times, the first and second times are quite destructive to old values but give you the sandbox of the void to build new values, all reading from the 3rd time on are refinements, and come with the risk of overcoming nietzsche himself and so discarding him
Tl;dr
Carry your ashes up to the mountain, come down with fire
