To be honest, it makes objective sense on your first playthrough if you don't understand japanese. Without any real context, you're just a guy who woke up gets attacked by monsters and has to defend yourself. It's either you or them and they take your soul if they win. The game also overplays Kazuya's personality as a villain in Genocide imo. Genocide Kazuya is a completely reasonable person, until he goes apeshit for no reason.
If you dig in to the lore a bit, you find out that since you have magic powers you can't go to heaven or hell which is why you can revive yourself after every death.
So yeah, the monsters take your soul if they make you cum, and in my book that kinda makes them bad. The only ones I'd call "good" are the ones who really don't have any intention of hurting you. Haru, Barghest, and Mother Rabbit. Some of the monsters are unambiguously evil since they EAT people. "The Vore" monsters. Writing wise I don't understand why you'd try to turn these characters into allies but oh well. Gotta get that true mercy.
I feel like the other monsters were written to be "good" after the fact. Like Nina was a straight up villain who electrocuted a helicopter, and killed a pilot. She would also take your soul if she got you, but she's supposed to be forgiven because she used to be sick and just wants to be an idol?
In my eyes, Neutral's the canon ending.
Yea i would say Neutral (still don't know why he would friend Archeny or Titanboa) is the canon ending, Lucy, i felt extremely bad for Barghest. I think the story changes if your going from TM to Genocide. especially that barghest and lampus scene..... And i deleted that copy of the game after the Lucy fight. She looked p cool with the Aura.

I know right. Those two kinda deserved to die.
Screw the whole, "if you kill me you're just like me, and agree with my worldview."
No, I'm not killing you because I think "stronger people have the right to do what they want to weaker people." I'm killing you because you kidnapped tons of humans, exhausted them, and ate them whenever they were close to escaping. Has nothing to do with the power dynamics. If I keep you alive, you'll kill more people.
Lol, Titanoboa's "redemption" scene for mercy was such a joke. I honestly laughed. "Oh I've always been the strongest being around so after I got my ass kicked now I can see the value in treating you lesser beings as worthy." She's just a villain. Like straight up. She violently chased you around earlier with the full intent of eating you, and her reason was that she didn't even value you as an equal being XD.

Neutral (well, A at least) is all fine until
Honestly, Aracheny and Titanoboa are probably small threats compared to Daiji, who completely karma houdinis out of everything she's done, walking away without a single punishment in the TME.
I don't think the other two are anywhere close to that, it's more like you've caused them to turn over a new leaf and try out not killing people while Kazuya rehabilitates them. I don't think Kazuya is quite letting them off the hook as easily as you think, and it's hardly that they're 'forgiven' or 'redeemed' so easily. I'm curious what the full translation of those two will say when I'm done, though!
you realize that Kazuya is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode and possibly end the world, and the player doesn't even know that unless they've played the True Mercy Ending.

You're missing only entry 118 which is Abaddon (Twins) [双子]. Normally, it is opened by wining the battle during the Akane's befriending event. May be a bug.
However, you can safely ignore that entry until the final version of the game due the fact that you can't open the final 100% chest anyway (which only contains more SP. Lame.).
I'm a bit confused. How do I start a genocide run after completing a TM playthrough? If I start from the beginning as EX I am not given the opportunity to attack or battle any of the demons, so it is impossible to try and wreck them.

If I'm remembering correctly, Main menu -> おまけ -> the option with '2' in it which will clear NG+ flags

He gave tons of details on his ci-en page
You just need to be a free follower to get the info.
Basically, there's a lot that's different in Shrift II
There will be more general combat in Shrift II, and the game will be less linear.

君を適任だと勘違いしていた。
あの『ゲーム』に潜ませれば、手に取るのは
『そういう人間』だけだとタカをくくっていた。
だが君が手にした。
そして、プレイしてしまった。
あの世界は、君にとって無縁だが、確かに存在する。
君は、あの世界の運命を滅茶苦茶にした。
もう、『それ』は破壊されてしまった。
『ゲーム』としても『装置』としても、機能しない。
君が、あの世界に未練があるというなら
新しい『装置』を使うしかない。
あるいは………いや、やめておこう。
この方法は、君にとってもマイナスばかりだ。
ただ……ひとつ、約束してほしい。
この結末の世界は、これっきりにしてほしい。
