No, energy or mass is never lost. Never. It is 100% efficient, they simply take different forms.
The idea of entropy is that all of the universe's mechanical energy will take useless forms, thereby stopping all motion. That is different form what Kyubey is saying, that energy is actually lost. And that energy can be created, which is impossible in our universe.

Yes, I'm biased. Are you telling me you are completely unbiased?

That was only one of two scenarios I posed. The first one takes Kyubey's words at face value and says Kyubey is good. The one you are referring to assumes that Kyubey is lying.
And is it really unreasonable? There is always more to Kyubey's story than he initially states.

Thus why I say his story has a gaping big hole that makes it seem he's lying once again.

The very idea of Kyubey using human emotions as energy feels very evil to me.
