Tips for Farming EXP Fast
Clear subquests (side quests).
Doing subquests (side quests) allows you to obtain a good amount of EXP and useful items when you want to grind levels during the main story. Some of these optional missions also allow you to engage demons that are significantly tougher than ones found in the same area so try to complete as many side quests as you can.

Demon Statues are petrified demons which are said to be remnants of a past war.

It appears that old demons can only level up so far in the traditional sense. My mananaggal seems to need 10x more experience to level then my newly acquired demons. Something seems off about it.
Ah yes, pay to win in a singleplayer game.
Also maybe should mention that aside from EXP (which scale down after a couple levels), Mitamas also drop Gospels. Arguably the best items in the game.
