Pretty much what @Hakaishin Aro said... KC has given extra info that makes many Mamono way less horrifying than their profile makes them to be...

For example, he has explained that once married Sandworms don't keep their husbands trapped inside their bellies forever, but they can shrink themselves to a lamia-like shape and hang around like a normal couple...

He also has explained that Alraunes and Barometzs can walk using their roots as legs, and they can even work and keep businesses like  confectionary shops...

He has explained that Mermaids and Merrows can live on land with their husbands, and that many Mamonos can use polymorph to take human shape and live in human settlements with their husbands.

He has explained that Mindflayers' husbands don't remain in squid form forever, but can return to human form at will.

He has explained that all those profiles that say that some couples do nothing but sex 24 hours a day, seven days a week, are exaggerations, and that they can have kinda normal lives with jobs and hobbies and such...

All that should be included in the profiles themselves.

And yes, there is stuff that he has never denied and that I think should be changed. The Dryad's entrapping effect is one of those. I also think infectious Mamono should all be toned down and made less aggresive, and that the mind-warping effect of Demonic Energy should be reduced.

@Hakaishin Aro insists that Mamono only entrap those men they sense are attracted to them. I would be happier if that were true, but the lore doesn't say that, at least not clearly. I would like KC to make it so...

There is precedent for that: Lamias used to kill cheating husbands in the old lore, and KC retconned it out of canon. It could be done again.
