Ah, but that's the interesting part. If you really look at the mamono and incubi, they're actually all still human when all is said and done. They're still the same people, for the most part. They just tend to lose some of the darker instincts humans have, and they look a bit different. Mind you, they can still be a little mean at times, but the 'worst' traits, like murder and inflicting real and lasting pain, are gone. Becoming a monster or incubus seems to me to be more like evolving, rather than losing one's humanity.

As far as the war and the "corrupt" mamono: In KC's world, it's actually the Church, Goddess, and Order who are really being shown to be corrupt. They hoard wealth and resources, keeping it all in the hands of an elite few. "Justice" is meted out with a heavy hand, and often simply means torture and execution. They regularly raid and raze to the ground any mamono villages within reach of their armies, despite the fact that by and large these small villages consist of nothing but mamono and their husbands doing nothing worse than farming. The "Champions" and "Heroes" of the Church are really just puppets, many of whom spend their lives in service to a cause they don't really believe in. Hell, the people of KC's world can't even carry the MGE(in KC's world, it's a book written by a traveling scholar) without facing execution, which makes 'no' sense if you actually want people to be able to get the information they need to protect themselves. It does, however, make plenty of sense if you're trying to keep the truth buried.

It's worth noting, also, that it was the Goddess/God her/himself who set up the whole humans vs. monster scenario to begin with. S/he specifically created the monsters to maim, kill, eat, and generally terrorize humans. So it's really hard for me to view the God/Goddess as anything worth worshipping.

As for why Cross created his world this way? Because he likes mythology and fantasy, he likes girls, I assume he likes porn, and sometimes it's fun to cheer for a team other than the humans.

EDIT: Removed an unnecessary and confusing "and".
