RealityWarper - I think you failed to understand my point. I never said men have to become like their mamono wives. That doesn't even happen in the setting. If I have an Ogre wife, it doesn't mean that I'll become just as violent as her. It means I'll be the underdog who is repeatedly beaten by his "wife" who I didn't even choose to marry.

Likewise with my other examples. It's not about becoming like them, it's about the fact they force rather unpleasant lives on me. They choose me as their husband, so they can force their wishes upon me. If I get sucked up by a mimic, I'd be forever stuck in her pocket dimension. Never able to leave or interact with things I left behind.

If you want a Jinko wife, fine. It that's what makes you happy then it's okay. You don't even have to become like her. Exept your wants don't matter. Before you have a chance of courting a Jinko, you might get spotted and claimed by a Dark Elf and will be force do be her sex slave for the rest of your life. Or a Matango spore might make its way to you and you'll soon be permanently fused with her.

And by the way, the "Love trumps everything" thing is fine and all. But lust does NOT equal love. Something both KC, the DL and the Mamono don't realize. I have no doubts Mamono might genuinly love their husbands. But that love is born of and mantained by an insatiable lust for his spirit energy. And if he doesn't want to supply them, they'll force it out of them, showing their desire for sex is greater than his wishes. Likewise, they don't even bother getting to know their future husband. They just pounce upon the first male they see. Not caring who he is, just what his spirit energy tastes like.

Hey, look, I am just basing my opinions on everything written by KC himself. If things aren't as they seem to be (which I hope) then he should perhaps be clearer. Like instead of only focusing on a Mamono's depravity, how about equally focusing on their good sides.

And, again, I reall don't hate this setting, otherwise I would never be so passionate about it. I love to fantasize about having one of (or all) my favorite mamono as a wife. But if you read between the lines, this world seems rather dark and unpleasant. And don't start claiming the DL is pure good.
