I do know that specific species like Baphomets and Salamanders want men that are strong enough and that you can still get with one if you make the effort. However, my idea of an increased pickyness was regarding the mamono choosing. I'd be lying if I'd say that the idea of being jumped by a mamono isn't one of the pillars of the setting that I enjoy.

I like to fantasize about being myself in the setting and being a simple villager. Yet despite any wealth, good looks, status or power/alot of mana, I can still get pounced on by a Hellhound, fall in love from the sex and have a typical happy ending. Without the prerequisite of having to actively seek one out and prove myself to her or to do normal courtship which removes the appeal of aggressive mamono chasing YOU down. I know there are multiple things like prisoner fruits and such, but I don't like the idea of having to get help from such items, as if I'm not good enough to be pounced on as I am.

I guessed that having an embodiment of a good man such as the king and admiring him to such an extent, would make those mamono more picky about jumping a man themselves.

I'm abit torn about the escapist sandbox fantasy part of the setting and the canon info parts. Like I said, anything that's bad or just unappealing is almost always optional. Though some parts like World guide III stating that all mamono inherently prefer heroes or just men with alot of mana and goes pretty adamant about it, yet the part of them loving men regardless of mana amount because of incubization and love being more important are worded as less sure-fire(which is why I asked about it in the past on that page and got some more proper info from Perentie and Zel311).

And then there's the part about the profiles being married individuals and the focus in World guide I about mamono looking as different as humans, with what seems like a handwave for most individuals can look similar to the illustration part. I miss being able to look at the profiles and be able to fantasize about their looks instead of thinking well she's already taken.

Sorry about the rant, I really love the setting. Which is why I'm so passionate about these topics and dislike anything that sounds or seems restrictive to an escapist setting.
