The true route is whichever route you play.

"You even get rewarded"

Stats are tricky. Increasing your LOVE does make you "stronger", but nobody around wants somebody strong with LOVE. It's a blessing and a curse.

"technically speaking, you have to kill everyone to get stronger to avoid death"

You have a weird definition of a technicality.

"this is still true to heart of RPGs"

Bingo! That's why people compare Genocide Chara to the game manifestation of RPG players.

"HP. ATK. DEF. GOLD. EXP. LV. Every time a number increases, that feeling... That's me."

You're not wrong, but it's phrased a little weird in the front half.

"I feel like that this is the true route [...] No, I'm not gonna go on and say that the Genocide route is the true canonical route"

Once more: The canonical route is whichever you play. If you do a genocide and never sell your SOUL? It's genocide! If you do a soulless pacifist and never come back? It's soulless pacifist! If you reset and don't come back? There is no ending, you're holding time itself hostage!
