Apr 8, 2021 at 15:37 comment added Simon Henry I have to think about it because I wrote that four years ago, but the construction which I claimed is faithful only adds retract to the monomorphisms in $C$, so I don't see why the reslting category would be a group if one start from a cancelative monoid. I think, when applied to a cancelative monoid the construction described above corresponds to a known construction in the theory of inverse semi-group, I'm trying to find a reference...
