Extremely agreed on that last bit. Would have been nice to get all this characterization for the demons earlier and stuff.
It's something we mentioned before, but this series feels afraid of lingering too long. It's afraid of falling into slow pacing. Unfortunately, for a cerebral story like this, especially one that is earnestly trying to sell "These demons that implicitly have to eat humans are worth saving as a whole", you need to have a slower pacing so you can dish out that information and make it settle.
Things are just rushing too much.
