Speaking for myself, just in general, I like how monsters of this sort inherently reframe the stakes from broader notions of saving The City, or Humanity, to saving
a life
, which I often find more tangible and engaging, despite being smaller in scale. And specific to this show, going smaller in scale fits the overall mood of the episode quite nicely, where we're finally letting off the gas for a second to really take in everything that just happened at the end of last year's run of episodes.
I think I'm with you on this, with the added twist that the comforting 2-week format works best coming off the absolute frenetic energy of Saber's early part. The stage is set, we know the world, and I guess it shows a level of confidence, reducing from "the literal world is at stake" to "Touma has to survive his coworker's new boss while saving Mei's". Or maybe I'm just a sucker for "the gang save one (1) person endangered by a monster.

Man's a genocidal alien from the Blood World, but even he wouldn't charge rent, jeez.
