There are similarities in the story structure and topics, though there are also substantial differences. It shows you the story behind the suffering of different yokai each arc, and this is handled by the mysterious powerful MC. But the tone of Mononoke is a lot more horrifying, and Bai Yao Pu is a lot more humane in that MC generally cures the yaoguai instead of vanquishing them like Mononoke. Nevertheless, in both the focus is on the yokai/yaoguai themselves rather than on the MC, and you get to see the story of how they came to be that way.

A series of mysterious non-connected supernatural stories connected by the main character. Mixes the supernatural with human motivations and desires to understand why a tragedy unfolded the way it did. Some level of abstraction in the stories.
