I assume these essays are from the light novel. I'm going to do 23 first since that one's the most fresh in my memory

Just to point this out, Quasi Spirits and Minute Spirits (Lesser Spirits) are two different things. Julius' six Spirits are Quasi Spirits

The merchant part isn't intentional, since as Petelgeuse says there wasn't any mention of Subaru in his gospel, and sending him there on their behalf doesn't really amount to much since he didn't really do much on his own anyway except die multiple times. Ketty's protest isn't just his own, he was doing it as the merchants' representative, and they were angry at Subaru and the others for lying to them about hunting Demon Beasts instead of the Witch Cult being around. I don't understand why Otto is emphasized to be much more than he seems to be when in the web novel it clearly states that Otto was captured and he even has a paragraph or two about it, unless of course just like his Ketty foreshadowing he did it for dramatic effect

As far as I know it's never confirmed that the Witch Cult targets half races more but they'd do almost anything the gospel implies. He never "realized that he was and is extremely selfish", he was stating that the villagers thought he was for believing in Emilia, as even if she didn't go down to the village it would've been destroyed anyway. The hooded cloak Ram's wearing isn't confirmed to be the same as Emilia's own and she doesn't really need one since she's human shaped anyway. Even if it was the same the cloak can be seen through by skilled people like Julius so it wouldn't make sense for Wilhelm to not recognize her, and technically in the light novel they never saw her face. I don't really understand the point about mining rights but whatever

Ferris can't detect the witch's scent, as shown in volume 5, he just realized that Ketty had a magic in him similar to the female Petelgeuse that Wilhelm killed earlier that made their bodies compatible in case Petelgeuse needed to possess his fingers

No, it wasn't Ia (Julius' Fire Spirit) that blew the cart up, that was Ketty Petelgeuse, Ia was busy protecting Subaru with a red barrier as shown in the anime. It's true that Ferris died once and healed himself, but that hasn't really been explained. Wilhelm isn't fighting Petemi (Petebi), he was fighting Kettylgeuse (as the author nicknames his possession). The "love" the Kettylgeuse is referring to is his own witch's scent, not the love between Wilhelm and Thearesia. The whole Kettylgeuse killing himself is not to get a new body but rather to keep Wilhelm occupied long enough for the explosion to hit him as even if Wilhelm killed him he would still be able to go to a different finger

The next Petelgeuse that Subaru fights is Petemi, not Camillegeuse. Although he does move the barrier stone to let the Wolgarm attack her, he does move it back to separate them again in order for him to talk with Petelgeuse. She doesn't say that "he will receive the love" but rather "the love will be retrieved"

The last finger, Camillegeuse, doesn't refer to Emilia as the witch, he just notes that they look exactly the same, stating that she would be an excellent vessel, and is excited about this. Felix didn't stop Subaru for Emilia's reputation, he wanted to prove to him that she wasn't just someone that needed protecting. The stares from the villagers don't really look like gazes of gratitude but that's just me. I don't really know what the requirements for Petelgeuse's possession are either, maybe it'll be explained properly once volume 9 is released
