i have no doubt the GOT TV series was the general idea GRRM had prior to the reaction - i.e.
In reality, it's not a terrible general ending and it makes a ton of sense for certain characters
The execution was just rushed and poor.
The reaction may have scared him a bit. But also, there are so many loose ends to tie up in the books - far more than the show - and he's probably just sick of it all.
