Nightmare Fuel / Interspecies Reviewers

• The scene with the Lilim in episode 4 deserves a mention. After the crew heads down a side street they come across an advertisement for a brothel they've never heard of before. Thinking that it sounds too good to be true, the crew immediately go to check it out for themselves. Big mistake. When they arrive, they are greeted by a massive glass window housing dozens or perhaps even hundreds of lust-crazed imp Succu-girls with depraved and aroused looks on their faces. Unlike the other girls, there isn't even a hint of restraint or self-control among the lot of them, just a primal desire to screw anything that enters their domain until they've had their fill. Eager to accept the challenge after enduring the Lilim's taunts, Stunk has Zel buff the party with a stamina spell before the brave sex hounds go inside. From there, poor Crim (and the viewer) can only watch in horror as the insane little demons dogpile all three of the adventurers and begin having their way with them. By the time another group shows up (a 100+ orc raid party) the reviewers are exhausted and spent in more ways than one and are promptly discarded like trash as the Lilim shift their attention to the orcs. Yeah, the whole ordeal is played for Black Comedy, but the guys came within mere minutes of dying and take three weeks before they fully recover.
• Meidri's reaction to learning the Reviewers made sex golems based directly on her likeness. Sure, the guys had it coming, and the whole ordeal is played comically, but the way she completely brutalizes each of them is utterly terrifying. Hell, just the look on her face as she's walking up to the guys in order to exact retribution would make anybody scared for their life. It certainly helps that the framing of the screen-shake when she stomped towards the reviewers, plus the slow pan, is pure Jurassic Park level of kaiju zoom-and-pan, framing Meidri as being angry enough to emulate a Kaiju or perhaps even one of the legendary Furies.
• Levit the incubus lord abruptly getting stabbed in the heart by his scornful oni girlfriend after she finds out he cheated on her. Unlike most of the slapstick violence involving Stunk and Zel, Levit is genuinely grievously wounded by the attack and is spitting up blood as he is taken away by a crew of medics. He survives the encounter due to his second heart but it's still a pretty big shock in what is normally a very lighthearted series.
• Chapter 31 shows how the wooden sex dolls are fitted with their magical sex orifices via a group of specialists performing the procedure on a conscious doll, with an introduction staged like a JAV where the golem introduces herself and explains what will happen to her in the video.
  • Not only can she feel everything happening to her while the specialists work the entire operation occurs just off panel and involves things like drills and metal files all while the doll squeals, screams, and shakes in pleasure and pain.
  • While the drilling stage doesn't seem to produce any strong discomfort from the golem (apart from her embarassment at now actually having a lower orifice), it's when the second specialist starts filing her new orifice smooth that she reacts in a mix of pleasure and pain, arching her back and complaining that they are being too rough to her.
  • Her reaction then turns to panic when the third specialist brings out the soft parts that are now mounted on a stick, for insertion (and glueing in), as she's still recovering from the exhausting sensations of being sanded smooth, and having the new part installed right then would be overwhelming on a sensory level. Normally the whole procedure is done while the core is not installed so nothing is felt, but having her feel everything is explicitly the point of the video. This step leaves the golem completely overwhelmed, with her body completely arched back, on her knees, with unfocused eyes.
  • The whole thing is like a weird and disturbing fusion of very hardcore BDSM and body modification surgery on a patient without any form of anesthesia. While the chapter comments indicate that the preparation of the golem is meant to be a metaphor for the importance of foreplay before sex, the fusion of this metaphor with what amounts to a body modification fetish sequence makes it into a surreal form of sexual horror for those who are unprepared for the sight.
• For people who are afraid of being eaten whole, watching Kanchal get grabbed by a cute Mimic using her container's tongue and engulfed with sudden speed in chapter 35 can be rather alarming, and the receptionist has to reassure the boys that he only got eaten in a sexual way.
• The Arachne's Nest from chapter 39 is definitely not a place for people who are uncomfortable around spiders. The whole place plays out like a horror movie with the Reviewers making their way through web infested corridors and getting ambushed and picked off by the spider women one by one. Crim is the first to go and is quickly followed by Stunk and then Zel until Kanchal is the only "survivor" left. Granted, the spiders here are all friendly and its all just harmless fun but being thrust into the role of helpless prey probably isn't going to be very appealing to most people. Customers are also restricted from using weapons or magic due to risking destroying the webs as well, meaning they have to carefully navigate through the whole area in stealth unless they want to get captured.
• The incident with the horny Treant man spreading his airborne pollen indiscriminately in Chapter 46 is pretty scary; the plant women in town are terrified by this and hide themselves in the soil to avoid getting pollinated against their will, and the police go into high alert and effectively put the town in lockdown until they can arrest this sower of wild oats. Sexual harassment on such a wide scale, and in this case bordering on attempted indiscriminate mass rape, is legitimately terrifying.
• Chapter 48 somewhat graphically demonstrates the, ah, difficulties and logistics of trying to get frisky with mantis women, as the Reviewers prepare decoy heads for them to eat. Illustrator Masha does not shy away from showing Crim's mantis woman biting chunks out of the decoy head he's using, complete with the angel's unsettled expression as she chews away. It is also shown that the level of detail in the false heads extends to having dark (reddish) inner layers to simulate meat, as well as pale layers that imitate bone, and the mantis woman has stains around her mouth after taking several chunks off.
• The Salamander chapter in the Darkness Anthology describes what would happen to any man too horny to consider the logistical challenges of having sex with a fire spirit woman hot enough to cook meat in seconds - a male elf, inspired by the reviews done by our heroes, attempts to do the deed with a horny salamander woman while wearing just a fireproof condom. His ultimate fate is not shown on-screen, but Stunk does confirm that his everything (apart from his fireproof-condom-clad male member) got horribly burned. Yes, boys, best save up and buy a ring of fire resistance from Demia if you want to actually try this unless you actually like being well-done.
• Chapter 51 seems funny, with the copycat Reviewers that got imprisoned by a bunch of Yuki Onna to be their husbands, until you realize that this will be the last time they get to go free, given how rotten their natures are. Zel also highlights how difficult it can be to keep a yuki-onna pleased as her husband, citing figures that suggest that 70 percent of all husbands killed by their wives in domestic violence are men that were frozen to death by yuki-onna, and he also details that men who somehow managed to survive and have children with a yuki-onna might sometimes have her disappear and leave them with the kids. The bonus pages at the end of the chapter shows that they don't age gracefully either - if unmarried, they turn into Hags that stalk the mountains with an ax to attack travellers, and if they managed to have children and don't disappear, they will end up terrorizing their husbands and children instead. It's immediately clear why yuki-onna in this world are so unpopular as partners.
• Chapter 53 highlights the dangers of womb tattoos as discussed by the succubi themselves - before the creation of temporary womb tattoos that would only last for a while, there were only permanent ones that were unremoveable. This meant that some of the more exotic and extreme sexual efffects of said tattoos could not be removed after you've had your fun, which can result in major issues with your daily life outside the bedroom. The succubi also relate how some of their foolish sisters accidentally screwed themselves over in an unfun way by unwisely applying permanent womb tattoos with effects that were either too intense or too troublesome, and how one succubus ended up with a severe case of hypersensitivity in the unfun sense because she tried to boost the touch sensitivity of her whole body to match her genitals and ended up suffering for it. As such, even the succubi were only willing to use minor effects for such unremovable tattoos.
• Chapter 58 is another Angel Lore chapter, where in the mists of plotting for Magic City Mayor campaign Yugamiel - in a incredibly casual manner - drops a bombshell on Demia: If the Goddess became aware of the Angel Research and didn't like Crimviel having their halo damaged - which is the "origin point" of the entire series o far - she would just ABANDON THE TIMELINE and go to "a World where the halo was never damaged". Even Demia, someone who is no stranger to crazy feats of magic, is forced to admit the Goddess is on a completely different scale for being able to pull something like this.
