How would humans be evil in that definition? They are far too weak to do anything to the monsters, and don't hunt them for food or anything. It's completely one sided, humans are simply prey and the monsters are predators.

I don't know what the sword has relevancy to. I also honestly don't see how anyone is gray here at all.

The entire narrative has always been Ilias is evil, monster girls are good, and humans and monster girls must live together no matter what. Only that Ilias Kreuz guy, his name escapes me at the moment, actually stated things that could be considered "gray" and he was dismissed as an "evil" character that was "radical" and not supported by anyone even in the human world (so much for this war on monsters by the human race). The game is too shallow to actually address the strength disparity, so the point is just completely ignored and dismissed, the writer clearly not respecting his audience enough to bother with a logical followup and conclusion. And there is good reason for that, the plot, characters and motivations are all so paper thin that everything falls apart on the slightest scrutiny. This game requires a tremendous amount of suspension of disbelief as well as ignoring internal and external consistency.

This isn't to focus in on Alma Elma, but since the discussion started with her, she definitely embodies a lot of the plot issues. I seriously don't understand how anyone can look at this game and actually try to argue it makes sense. I just look at some of these posts and just shake my head, honestly.
