Well if I might respectfully disagree with you Rep. I don’t particularly care to call whatever this world may be ‘Earth’. Because if it were in fact Earth, then for me at least I could only see one or two possible outcomes as to why the planet looks so vastly different to our own.

1 This world is set after the fall of our Modern Society (almost like Planet of the Apes) and Humanity has regressed to a less technologically advanced stage of Medieval, Pre Industrialist fear that centers on Mysticism and Religious superstition. And the Mamono are an evolutionary split. Possibly from a Nuclear Holocaust. (Hence why they look so human.)

And the history of what came before has been so obfuscated by a lack of records that two sides formed along a theological sect. I.e. The Order and the Mamono, so they now believe that this is the way they have always been, an age of men and monsters (I dislike the term monsters but I’m using it here to distinguish the two groups.) constantly fighting an endless war and as magic (New Science) evolved the ‘Chief God’ deity was dreamt up to keep the human governmental hierarchy in power. Likewise the ‘Demon Lord’ myth rose in prominence and now the current Demon Lord uses this legend to retain her power while admittedly trying her best to reunite Humans and Mamono.

2 The second option if this were in fact ‘Earth’ as you suggest than all of the MGE’s lore would have to take place during a time thousands of years before Modern Humans walked the Earth and somehow their two societies were wiped out by an extinction level event. The Mamono passed into myth and Legend becoming the basis for today’s ‘Monster Girl Fantasies’ while the Order became their own legend, one that became the basis for a current day Religion with similar symbology and ideology.

Too me both of these outcomes are bleak and rather disturbing so if KC ever did specify that this world was in fact Earth I do believe I would be deeply saddened.

Still that’s my pessimistic two cents, and I do hope it’s only a bleak theory.

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.
