I don't think ONE hates Genos.

Genos is definitely having a most brutal time, but I think it's more to do with his being Saitama's disciple. Saitama's chief percept is 'move forward, no matter how hard it gets.'   The monsters have to keep getting bigger to keep the hellish experience constant for Genos, but he's still moving forward.

Whether it results in some breakthrough and what will happen after that, we're not yet privy to. But a tough time isn't the face of authorial hatred.

Edit: to my great annoyance, I can't reply to you -- ah well, I suppose it's to stop people from running long back and forth threads. Genos has made a crazy amount of progress since we first saw him, but yup, there's a damn long way to go, complete with mistakes and dead ends.

It's a guy putting his shit together. Because I'm caught up with the webcomic, it's fascinating to see that currently (as of chapter 112),  Genos is one of the very few S-Class heroes able to fight and just about the only one able to take on more work. Why? He's got the grit to come back after a setback, which his classmates have never had to deal with. Some have even quit heroism altogether.
