From what I've seen of the interactions between monsters, humans, and angels--Coexistence seems like a pipedream.

Monster girls provide more for the guys than what human women can offer, hence why there is a rush of men to get monster brides--Adultery, cheating, rejection etc. This inevitably leaves human women bitter and resentful, and is actually shown to be the case wherever humans and monsters coexist.

As much of a nutcase Lazarus was, he made a very good point, and Luka's only objection to it was "Well, I wanna bang the monster lord. Hah! Checkmate!" As if that would be enough to alleviate the insecurity many humans feel about dwindling numbers and being objectively weaker than monsters. The point of staying on top is to never be persecuted at the bottom. That is a natural human inclination that can't be overwritten by an idealistic view of the world. Luka is asking a tall order when he says humans should embrace being at the bottom.

So those two things were never addressed, because Luka never had any answers to them. Bitterness and Insecurity inevitably leads to chaos. It's as if Luka is trying to unite the Darkness and Light, with a sword too, not unlike Ilias. So it kinda leaves you wondering about the "Sequel".

Fighting a war together to defeat a common enemy doesn't work, either. It's not actually living together. Would Luka have been as devoted to taking Ilias out had she never gone off the deep end and given up on humans? It doesn't seem as likely.

It makes it even worse if monsters can have male children, which at least a few are shown to be able to.

Naturally coexistence works in pockets, but is the world Luka wants even possible where that is everywhere? I don't see it. As much as I find the story compelling in the sense of taking down a tyrannical and genocidal Goddess, it doesn't really answer the main push of coexistence. Luka is essentially an ignorant child calling experienced adults ignorant, all things considered.
