In the first volume he was teleported with all his classmates from the floor 20 of Oscar Labyrinth to the 65 were they faced a big horde of skeletons with blades and the Behemoth (the monster that unilaterally killed the strongest adventurers of that era, btw from him is that come the calc for the tier 9 AP and LS). The Haltina and Schnee labyrinth happened vols after that (Haltina vol 8 and Schnee 9&10), with the goblin and illusion world tp happening in the Haltina labyrinth after a short time. Similarly to Inosuke, Ryutarou also needed outside help to get back from the illusion world, however after that he had a grow both in personality and strength and is thanks to that that he become able to successfully complete a labyrinth (the Schnee labyrinth) so if he faced the illusion again he would be able to free himself.Labyrinths that have Teleportation do sound similar though Ryutarou presumably entered them before encountering any Teleportation unlike the demon slayers who just suddenly were in the Infinity Fortress with all the demons it contained. It also appears that most of them were separated from each other though some found each other pretty quickly or were teleported together to begin with. Getting turned into a goblin reminds me of the demon who had a poison that could turn you into one of his spider subordinates or that ability that puts people to sleep and makes them flat for easier storage. There is nothing like loving enemies and hating allies but there is Body Puppetry via strings that made demon slayers kill each other against their will and made them move with more power and speed than they normally would be able to at the cost of putting a painful strain on the body with severe injuries not preventing you from being moved through the strings. Getting trapped in an illusion of a perfect world is kind of what Enmu did with his dreams though Inosuke got out of that with outside help. He has, however, been told the method of getting out of dreams like that after waking up.
The case with Enmu reminded me of that one perception feat from Inosuke where he managed to detect Enmu's neck while Enmu was completely fused with a moving train, so you could say that his sense of touch allows him to detect weak spots even when they appear in a form that heavily deviates from the norm. I did mention earlier that Inosuke can detect body parts like the neck from hundreds of meters away. The goblin he was turned into presumably still had a certain degree of strength that he could make use of unless he was turned into a really weak goblin and somehow made up for the strength difference via technique or skill.
I'd say that Inosuke has a certain degree of willpower himself though he didn't go through a trial like that. If we agree that Inosuke's swords will be fine, then that's one thing less to discuss. Okay, do any of these sword users and monsters usually try to cut off limbs or decapitate Ryutarou? Demon slayers kind of need to do that all the time against demons.
At this point he probably isn't able to feel weakness by instinct, that's more for people with better instincts.
The monsters absolutely want to kill him, same with the zombie knights, the normal knights to train him correctly attacked with killing intention, his friends Kouki and Shizuku though they don't want to kill him know his resistance and perseverance so they need to be rough to defeat him in fights (though in the next key Kouki was seriously trying to kill him, the scan of Ryutarou getting vaped was come from the last attack of Kouki in that moment).
