Well, ditching the DE corruption is half of it. The other half would be the bit about all mamono turning back into classic blood thirsty monsters if someone offs the demon lord and her kids.

If you were going for a no grimdark reboot, having them (the monsters) be in their current format from the beginning would fix that one neatly.

In fact ditching the whole CG v DL war completely would be for the best.

Now after you do all that the setting would have about as much depth as an empty paddling pool but it would make it feel good fan service in the way that KC (the creator) insists is what he intended.

The problem as I see it is he wanted a fantasy realm that actually had a deep setting and some drama going on but also wanted it to be mostly an service and for no one to concentrate on the more grim aspects. You can't have it both ways though, that's when the cracks start showing a little bit and stuff doesn't add up the way he tells it.
