I think he's a "high functioning psychopath". He knows the right vs wrong he was taught by family & modern Japanese society, but it doesn't bother him when he ignores it and ends someone. Other than sometimes when he thinks he should care and is bothered that he doesn't.
That's correct, but he's getting more comfortable with doing 'whatever'. His own self-image isn't as nice as what's on the inside. He's following what he still considers to be his (Japan based) common sense, with the occasional allowances for mass murder etc. He's walking on a knife's edge.

And if things had went differently with him, had he not met everyone, he could have turned out... very different. He could have tossed all that and truly become rather twisted. The world should be thankful to Emma, for starting the series of events that happened.

As for Mio and Tomoe he told them he sees them like he saw his sisters. Those two have to get out of the sister zone.
They will, eventually.

Low key I think Kuzunoha is some degree of psychopath but not the "Lulz Evil" type, instead he's the kind that's fiercely defensive of his friends even though he has a hard time connecting with them beyond that.
He isn't what you'd call evil, but...
A god he meets later shows him some alternative realities. In one, he turned an entire nation to sand in an instant, just to get a rise from Tomoki (who'd asked him to conquer it). In another, he killed Hibiki's party member in front of her, in a way that he describes to her as being similar to how a microwave works. "Isn't it cool?"

But since the events leading to these alternative timelines didn't happen, so he didn't turn out like this.
You could say that what he's doing is fairly important, in keeping him connected to humanity.

edit: I notice this immediately after posting

Yeah, that's what I mean when I say "Psychopath, but not 'Evil Lulz'" - since that's the usual popular media depiction of it. He's got reasons for doing things this way, especially since he keeps putting out a hand to the Hymans and now Demons to try to create stability - at least for those around him - and getting that hand slapped away. He just doesn't typically make the same mistake twice

Earlier I commented that "Girl Hero is Stereotypical Normal Person" but that's because I've only been reading the manga here and not the WN/LN - she's just as fucked up as Makoto: less fucked up than Tomoki, but still fucked up, just coming from the opposite direction that Makoto is.

"Stereotypical Fantasy Hero" is more like it, and I say that with the full consideration that it's been during my time reading manga that the "Maybe the Demons aren't the only bad guys and maybe Humans aren't only good guys" Hero-Archetype has first come around, probably most recognizably from "Maoyuu Maou Yuusha"

We live in quite interesting times

I have yet to read much past of the Mist Town Lull arc, is this something that I miss or something that will happen in the future?
It's way into the future during the Dusk street stuff along with the Aion Civil war where they show up. They're like elitest fuck the goddess (read Bug) that generally also operate on a fuck everyone basis so they're not particularly good. Makoto especially dislikes them as they work with the leader of dusk street who kills orphans for giggles in his spare time and tries that shit on Makoto's orphanage he's sponsoring, unsuprisingly shit went south on him. The anti-goddess get to worship him for all of 15 seconds once they find out he's the Devil but it's not because he kills them.

No Hibaka isn't particularly fucked up like Makoto while Tomoki is just drowning in pleasure so he was bound to become stupid. She is just a bored child with an elite mindset. She doesn't expect to the be hero that saves the world just the country of Limia and she recognizes there's discrimination but because she's "never failed" she doesn't know what it means to hopelessly struggle with no chance of success so she thinks demons are just terrorists who are big mad because they hadn't tried to persist out the worlds genocide with smiles.

Her plans are to win the war and then gradually change society for other demi-humans because "humans are creatures that can pass their emotions to the future". Quite litterally the stupidest possible idea to solve racism and yet also the unfortunately most realistic one if it wasn't a world where a god litterally communicates with people and tells them fuck those other ugly races. She has no expecations for the demon race to persist after this war and she'll have a conversation with makoto on the subjects in maybe 50-60 chapters, depending on the speed, where Makoto realizes he discrimates again Hyumans and she against Demons but she has no major motivation to change it because "muh friend died" in a war which she joined half heartedly without thinking about the other side at all. Funny enough she would support Makoto if he intended to be a god who replaced the Goddess but because of the potential chaos of Makoto planning to "teach the goddess a leason" could cause she thinks he's a danger she'll have to contain the attempt of which will likely be the first and worst failure of her life.

I remember the dusk street, I also remember the attack on the orphanage, were both of them related?(I'm not doubting you, it's just my poor memory) If I'm not wrong, the dusk street happened before the war and the orphanage after. Also were the guys at the dusk street part of the anti-goddess cult? Though I think I faintly remember something about your last line.

I don't blame you, it was a very short one off where after Dusk street was given a proper education the anti-goddess cult lady came over to makoto asking him to join them since he was discriminated against (and thus should be gung-ho on the idea) she and the cult were never directly linked to dusk street, they just used each other and then took over the power vacuum if I remember correctly. At least until the war where they are the big start of the Aion conflict kick off (in the background) and why Aion needs Tsige back under it's management because of how much chaos they caused.

(I might not of remember everything perfectly but that was the general gist of the background events bringing war to head)

I think I remembered something about two criminal organisation using each other, I might have to read the dusk street all over again, thanks.

exactly what else should someone be judged by if not by their competence? moralfaggot MCs taking the -muh racisms bad mmkay?- stance while having no problem with torturing and killing is dumb as fuck.

besides, if Tomoe and Mio looked ugly nobody here would like them, just as the hyumans. The entire anti discrimination / lookism schtick the author's going for is falling pretty fucking flat because there are no ugly hoes in Makoto's company.

There is a difference between judging a person on their competency and skills, and believing those whe are found "wanting " by whatever arbitrary standards you have and holding it is right yo kill and experiment on them.

you misunderstand, nowhere in my post I agreed with the dude's retarded torture and experimentation. I asked a simple question: what metric do you use to judge a person if not by their competence? if you come to me for work but all you can do is make corny jokes and talk about isekai garbage, I'm not going to be hiring you. But anyway, if you're only going to read one sentence, then react and reply, no need to bother.

shiki tearing blight's arm and saying that "this is your arm but you just don't feel the pain" is one of the most coldest thing i've ever seen in every literature i've seen goddamn
