The problems are the situation, the goal, the means used and the results.

The situation : Demon Lord said "f*** genocide, f** chief god, I want everyone to be happy". Seriously, looking at it that way, the chief god is one sadicist since the best solution she came for population control is genocide. She wants suffering to stop.

The goal : Make humans and monsters one race, which will not need to kill each other and can leave and enjoy each other. Except if you consider rebelling against the chief god (aka last paragraph) an evil act in itself, I don't see this evil.

The means : Forced conversion, deception, guerilla and war for global conquest, because the Order won't let them have their way. Ok, here are the major reasons why one can call monsters evil. They're using everything they can to get the advantage over the Order, and don't hesitate to force themselves over their enemy. Against them, the Order, which does not hesitate to use torture and showed signs of corruption (the whole Lescatie thing, and it's repeated in enough back that knowing too much about monsters and not working with the Order is a sentence of death in their territory). Sooo, grey and gray.

The results : A total war, with one side wanting to subjugate everyone by drowning them in pleasure to stop genocide (make love not war taken to the extreme here), while the other want to keep the tradition by slaughtering the other. One leave broken and dead bodies, the other brainwash their opponent through pleasure. Both use more enough questionnable means to not really be called fully good.

As such, the Demon Lord enters completely in the "well-intentionned extremist" and its trope. Whether she is evil depends how you answer the question "Does the utopia justifies the means ?"

Also, not every race are about being selfish and someone want to genuinely love humans.(Several races in Zipangu, mermaids, etc...)

Also, Realitywarper, I'm sorry, buuuut, you may want to rethink about what you are allowed to do to something that you created and that end up achieving sentience.

Hint : I'm talking about parents and their childrens. Particularly when said childrens are over the age of majority.
