I see it more as the latter, though honestly it could be either with incorporating it into lorebuilding, admittedly its premise itself might not be particularly appealing to most. Which is fine, I don't expect it to.

It also isn't grotesque or anti-mamono or something. It is an 'equalization' premise though, and stems around a faction formerly splintered off from the Order. After discovering the Big Lie, instead of shacking up with the DL, they instead formulated a gestalt to ascend and become a godly entity to advocate for the hoomans at the pantheonic level. In turn, it has opted to uplift mankind through a 'genetic ascendency' to equalize humans with their mamono counterparts. A sort of kicking off the limiter at gestation and giving a super pre-template off the bat. Without the use of magic or dependency on material compensation. Large men and women of gereat strength and durability(with all the advantages and disadvantages along with it), the next step.

This in effect not only allows them to healthily compete with mamono, it in turn allows humans and mamono to better connect, bond, and form fraternity THROUGH competition. Suddenly, mamono cannot just immediately rape a man, they have to work for it, either through alternative means(drugs) or... you know... asking. Humans, no longer requiring to rely on a totalitarian regime, can fend for themselves just fine and realize that mamono are not that murderous after all.

There is conflicts though, humanity is steadily evolving to these 'Homo Superior' but that doesn't mean issues of stratification, human on human war, and extremists who might not like humanity evolving away from their control.

In this realm of Avalon is the starting point of it, keeping out the main realm for now as to not get the gods to start throwing fire and stuff.

The evolution of humanity will also take many variants to reflect their mamono counterparts, being a spectrum of 'power level' from the Succubus all they way to Lilim tier, I've also thought of adding 'Avalonian' mamono but one step at a time.

The short of it is, I explore making humans swole to wrestle mamono and in turn make an egalitarian world through WWE. With all the ideas of transhumanism vs. post-humanism, and issues pof superhuman infrastructure along with it.

I make no promise that this setting appeals to anyone but me, but nevertheless it is a fun idea to think on. Sort of like a Hegelian State of Nature course correction for humanity and how mamono and these superhumans would adapt to each other.
