Hey guys, thanks for the reponses, sorry for the delayed reply! Lemme try to answer your questions to the best of my understanding of the world so far.

The setting is going to be our world, or at least one very similar to it (basically I don't want to use the names of real world leaders), so there wouldn't be the MGE continents like Lescatie, and the way I'm picturing it the official MGE universe doesn't exist as a parallel world, at least not one that affects the way this world plays out. At first the DL is the only mamono, then she gives birth to the Lilim, and as the Lilim spread demonic energy they give rise to the creation of more common MGs like mermaids, werewolves, slimes, etc. The series would be something of an origin story and depict the couse of the invasion. If you've ever read World War Z the book, it would be similar to that, with stories about individual characters, places, or events coming together to form a sort of tapestry that portrays the larger picture.

Depending on how the story develops, I may have there be some stories that are a reflection or interpretation of the MGE universe (kinda like how different Zelda games can be in different worlds but play along similar themes). For example, I considered it inevitable that a radical anti-monster religious movement echoing the Order may form. I may also incorporate this world's version of Druella, The Wandering Scholar, Saphirette, but only if they fit, I don't want to force it just for the sake of it.

To try to answer specific questions: The DL wants the same general thing, to spread her influence throughout the world and create a utopia. She won't be a substantial character I don't think, more of a looming presence mentioned only by name, she charges the Lilim with claiming their own territories in this world so they act as the primary antagonists (for lack of a better term)

As for time and effort, I'm willing to let this series develop slowly, but at the same time I tend to devote more energy to projects the better they go, so I might like build up steam then slow down then build up again, we'll see how it goes. I do have a general direction I want the story to go, so I'm not particularly worried about ideas because I can always just move ahead with the main plot.

Sorry for lengthy reply, let me know if I clarified anything!
