Couldn't agree more. In my opinion, the monsters are introduced after build up, but still play in the back round.

The main focus should be how the protagonist is influenced by the monsters actions, not the monster just running around killing people.

In Penpal, one of the best stories on this wiki, the monster plays behind the scenes.
