Monster Girl Encyclopedia/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: The original intent behind the cast of ''Fallen Maidens'' was to show the audience broken, messed-up characters who could only find happiness in becoming monsters. Unfortunately, possibly due to [[Author Appeal]], the cast then carried their trauma over into their monstrous forms, unhealthily projecting their problems out onto the world rather than growing past them, and making them all hard to root for. Perhaps because he noticed this, later stories set in Lescatier heavily toned-down the initial baggage the cast had.

* [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy]]: Recently translated settings info shows us that the Demon Lord is ''evil'', and the only thing the author could do to make her even remotely sympathetic was make the Chief God ''worse''. As a result, [[Evil Versus Evil|well]]...

** She's more of a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]. All she wanted was for the genocidal cycle of monsters and humans instigated by the Chief God to end. As a [[Horny Devils|succubus]], her coming up with a plan that revolves around sex [[Captain Obvious|is to be expected]]. And as for the Chief God, she wanted the world to retain balance between the humanoid races and the monsters (she's basically a Malthusian, YMMV on whether that guy was right but still...) So really, it's just two extremists having a [[Understatement|"disagreement."]] They aren't necessarily utterly evil, just misguided.
