Not a fan of this one. The whole "succumb to evil" and other vocabulary seems to actually imply that the Demons are truely evil, not just represented as such by the church.

I mean there are two ways to view MG's.

1. They are every bit the monster the Order portrays them as. Literal soul-sucking hellspawn meant to drag humanity down.

2. MG's reborn under the new succubus lord with the intention of peace between momano and humans. They have been "reprogrammed" to love and cherish humans as their own species, and want nothing more than sex and love. However, their agressive tendancies still linger and many species resort to rape to gain a husband (this may or may not be toned down eventually). Whatever you think of that, KC seems to intend a happy/loving ending regardless.

So now a reader has to interpret this new bio. Which of these options is it? I'm sure there are people here who fetishize the first. However, the majority seem to be attracted to the second.

I'm not of the opinion that lust is necessarily an evil, so I've always kind of read "corruption" and "temptation" as what an MG would say to tease and excite a husband, rather that the literal sense. You're "corrupted" in the eyes of the Order, but in reality your just having good sex as part of a loving marriage. You're "tempted" into something that is actually a good thing. That'd hardly evil, but the Order uses false propoganda in desperation (aka the first option) to hide the truth from the people and prevent possible extinction (that the succubus lord totally wouldn't let happen anyway).

So yeah, I'm not a big fan of the contradiction here. I'm here for the fantasy of being carried off into a happy ending with a loving wife, not dragged to an enternity of pain and suffering.
