The Last Messiah is online. There are a few tidbits in Ligotti's book. But I think that's about it for English translations. Mainlander is even more obscure. This has some morsels: philosophy-of-redemption.blogspot.com and this is another resource: old.reddit.com/r/Mainlander/

Mainlander will be pretty heavy for a beginner antinatalist. You really should get that Ligotti book. It's such a great introduction and Ligotti's style is so witty and creative. In the last chapter, he goes into the art of writing horror fiction.

Don't dismiss Schopenhauer. He's the Daddy of modern antinatalism. He was AN thru & thru. Was reading Book Four of his World as Will and Idea & there are some incredible passages in there regarding AN & pessimism. Those 2 essays cited above are a must read.

Nietzsche is questionable. Don't get me wrong. I love Nietzsche. But I don't think he was a dyed-in-the-wool AN. He was trying to save humanity from nihilism, which he saw was coming. He was definitely anti-Christian. But he wanted humanity to carry on.
