Why did Nolan write how to defeat the viltrumites in his books??? Was he getting a soft spot before when he wrote them? Was it a backup plan if something happened? Was it him gloating??

Nolan needed a job that was cool with him not being there at all, so author. But Nolan was raised in a genocidal authoritarian empire that likely stunted his creativity, so he wrote about his life experiences. If Nolan exclusively wrote about his successful conquests he would be writing essentially a mary sue who wouldn't be interesting to read because he just won every single time. He also put it under a pen name so it wasn't like the foreword was I'm Omni-man and these are the times I almost died.
