Her theory refers to the fact that the Hieromancy spells seems to have an artificial limit, not the humans they use. The paragraph makes no statements about the limit of humans or spells of other categories.

"Plus do you really think KC would write out and publish such a detailed theory if it wasn't supposed to be seen as true?" 1st: I do not know KC personally. There are writers who like to do such things. 2nd: A detailed theory looks different. At the moment, these are only cautious guesses. But as a power-hungry, controlling god, I would endow my spells, that I grant to others, with a limit so that they can not use those spells against my interests.

Somewhere it has been suggested/theorized that the ability to use Magic (in humans) has a genetic component. That would make magic part of evolution. If the limiter can be broken by external influences (influence by foreign mana), then an individual may most likely be able to break that limiter by his own mana.

Where exactly is it said that it is a "throwback"? (Apart from the heretical theologians.)

That the chief god does not allow the Order to study just what heroes are, makes more sense from the point of view of securing power. If humanity knew how they could create heroes themselves, they would not need the gods anymore.

"As for maiming monster girls, whose to say it doesn't happen?" It should even be a standard when a monster gets lost in the core areas of the Order. Followed by a public burning. I would even train special mages who hunt disguised monsters. As counter-espionage, so to speak. In the books, however, only examples are mentioned in which the Order loses. (For example one of the most powerful hieromancers, who obviously could not do anything except the Evil Obliterating Incantation spell. Because of this one-sidedness, the books are to be considered as propaganda.)

The technology level is similar to that of WoW and LoL. ( Why the world will look similar.) Apart from that, all fantasy worlds share a Medieval environment. That means there are relatively harsh living conditions and death is commonplace. Therefore a single life has only a small value and correspondingly brutal they are.

A "new humanity" in the sense of the Demon Lord. You said it yourself, the humans have to become lustful and accepting MGs' values, whereas they have no choice. Incidentally, your argumentation very accurately describes the beginning of a dystopia. You praise the new humanity, while you let the people no choice. You emphasize productivity and longer life, but you ignore the fact that you have to give up part of your free will. This one would end in a very special dystopia full of hedonistic pleasures. And people like Wilmarina and Sasha have to pay the price for this world.
