As funny as the monster solution would be, I'd rather the MC overpower the stupid limitations in the name of the harem.Ah, yes, join me my fellow monster fuckers. WW is a real homie. Killed everyone else's dream of impregnating humans and superhumans but left the monster impregnation door wide open for the rest of us.
I do still feel like Xanthe has a solution in mind for that because he has to know it's a dead end for superhumans as a species, if they can't reproduce. This could be where the monsters come in. Maybe there's a specific monster Xanthe knows that's good for keeping the mating species as the dominant outcome? Basically a reverse Asari for those who played Mass Effect. If not, then I can see superhumans going the same way the Viltrumites did in Invincible(comic), except they can't reproduce like the Viltrumites. Though, I guess they could pull a Thragg with a particular monster species, if they get desperate. I had another post in here somewhere about the cons to naturally breeding superhumans. Especially when you factor in the offspring potentially becoming sort of trojans for monsters completely taking over. I'll look over that post again because I forgot some of it. I do recall mentioning time being a major factor to it and the vulnerability they'll have to the Numbered and other elder monsters encroaching on them all while they're growing.
On the flip side, maybe this "Dark God" or it's usurper might come and devour all of the monster genes and power back into itself before running off to some other dimension to live peacefully. Might kill all of the superhumans and monsters in the process but at least humanity wouldn't go extinct. Who am I kidding. It would probably wipe everything out. I guess this ends my rambling on the subject.
As far as things go otherwise, I can't help but think that the stakes got ramped up too high, and the only way for the world to not be awful to live in from here is what I mentioned before. Reset the status quo in terms of superhumans at least somewhat, limit their numbers, and get rid of all major scumbag players.
Otherwise, it will just be an eternal power struggle until humanity is wiped out and the remaining superhumans slowly die out or stop being human in any sense, which isn't much better. The MC still feels like a regular dude who is trying to have as normal life as possible amongst this madness, and man do I relate to that.
