Although you could try to say she is made to not feel pain so she can perform whatever actions she needs to do, it is clear from this episode that what she can still feel can still stop her in her tracks. So at this point, we would have to reason that the person that created her and made her able to feel only some specific emotions did it just for the lols, which we don't have any hint to currently. ...Or the anime isn't thinking that deeply (nor does it acknowledge those said real people), as they have shown in every episode to put "fanservice" scenes like girls moaning to some "non-human" "touching" event.

Spoiler for EP4:
What I'm starting to wonder about is why Cthully doesn't want them to be a couple. Considering how Safentite has a habit of squeezing him for no reason, it's possible that Lamias might be lethal lovers, given how we haven't seen a male one yet. Safentite's lack of self-control would then be the illness she got because of having lived with Glenn. E: Also note... Lulua is drawn like the kind of Mermaid, that actually IS lethal to humans, fangs and all. I also think that the city isn't what it looks like. Besides the point that we barely ever see humans, even as background characters, there also wasn't a single human with the city guards, which is making me question the humans standing in that town. And since we mentioned couples before... There hasn't been a single trans-species couple in the entire town up to now. All hints of trans-species relationships seem to be attempts of forcing it on the human. And, unless there is a proper reason for her not to talk, like her voice being pretty much a FUSROHDA, Skadi also seems to think that others are beneath her. Note I'm not saying, she isn't nice to people or doesn't actually care, but if it turns out that there is no reason for it, that's the only logical conclusion left. That being said, it has been stated repeatedly that she is somehow responsible for the piece in that city, yet we don't know by what means. So my theory: The peace in that city is MUCH, MUCH more fragile than what the current narrative lets on. Also, humans lost the war and MIGHT be second rate citizens. Also consider Kurenai's words on this: She flat out told them they'd get to be cheap laborers instead of saying something along the lines of, that they could have joined the city guard, instead of turning to crime.

Skadi literaly recreated whole this city for sake of humans and monsters being able co-exist and it has no equivalent anywhere else. All thing considered it is indeed pretty fragile peace and incidents like this could make big mess.
Anyway humans didn't loose war as far as I know. Irc both sides just completely wasted themselves and had no choice made peace. While certainly not second grade citizens per se, they are certainly rare, because not many would dare move into city runned by former enemies this easily. There is also limited amount of fields human can compete with monster people. Cyclops will be (almost) always better blacksmiths, Arachnees tailors and Oni... warriors (that's why they are core of city guards) . Majority of humans comes as or with merchants that deals with various unique goods that can be found only in Lindworm.

Even so, it sounds really fishy and contradictory though.
Humans can't be such bad fighters (unless they are mercenaries) if they actually managed to keep dragons at bay. We also got the information that "there is no one to spare" regarding the guards. A mixed police force is one of the very first things you would want in a city like that too. TBH, I doubt that the story is that deep, but what has been shown up to now makes me seriously question the narrative of that city. Also... Why do they always have to make Dragons the ones looking the youngest...

As for guards you have point and it's possible it will get there eventually, but right now point there is lot of other details that needs to be figured out first to keep city peacefull and prosperous as there is no tension between citizens and guards who are directly under the Dragoness and Kunai who got full unanimous trust (and it's not like other races cannot apply for job, if they want). As far as novels goes I didn't find any major problem with world building.

So going by the premise you informed me of, and the fact that it wasn't a one-sided slaughter, a dragon either participated and lost or they didn't participate fearing that they might lose one. That, in turn, means Dragons had reasonable grounds to believe that Humans had means to at least inflict serious losses to them. Depending on whether Elves and Dwarves exist in this story, they might have very well allied with the Humans. A rather common alliance in fantasy stories.

No Dragons didn't participated in war, but not because of fear. They are almost completely detached from mortal affairs irc. Skadi is oddball trying help and even befriend those little mayflies that flicker around for few moments doing their stuff and then dissapearing. Other dragons simply don't have such weird hobbies. As far as mentality goes human and monster people are much closer to each other then either of them with dragons.
