I will deliberately take a contrary position just for the sake of writing incredibly long arguments

Not bad. The cacodemon works really well. The others feel more amateurish; as imps and demons are more believable as existing beings than cacodemons, more humanoid, more complex, the cartoonish outlines are more jarring on these drawings than on the image of the simple and unbelievable cacodemon - ie. imps and demons have a high ideal level of "realism," so a cartoonish portrayal of them will be further from that ideal, while cacodemons are so unreal that a cartoonish portrayal is as realistically as they can be portrayed, therefore such a portrayal feels "realistic." It's a shame that the artist didn't, perhaps couldn't, draw the imp and demon more "realistically," to match the "real" aesthetic, because gritty is real, and a shame also that these images don't deviate more from the source sprites.
The longer I revise this the less sense it makes. Good luck.
