* A common criticism of ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' is the frequent usage of {{bizarro episode}}s that frequently had very little to do with the overarching MythArc and [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment rarely, if ever, got brought up or become of relevance to the plot ever again]], all of which became especially common during the time in which Creator/KAApplegate took a break and relied on ghost writers to get the series done before returning to personally write the books for the final arc. But for all the complaints against this detail, Applegate herself wasn't above this practice herself, as several books she personally wrote before the beginning of the series' ghost writer era are just as guilty of being a seemingly pointless BizarroEpisode as the worst of the similar books written by the ghost writers (with the [[NegativeSpaceWedgie Sario Rip]] to the Amazon rainforest in book 11, Rachel suffering an allergic reaction to a newly acquired [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile crocodile morph]] and subsequently having to expel it from her body over the course of book 12, etc.). But these instances were easier to forgive since they were written fairly early on in the series' run and had a feeling of authenticity lent to them by having K.A. Applegate herself at the helm in writing them, while also still feeling like fun adventures in their own right worth reading despite their lack of overall contribution to the main overarching narrative. But as more and more books continued to get written, with ghost writers having to take over for the majority of said books, the usage of big lipped bizarro episodes became increasingly frustrating to the readers due to coming across as a cheap means of [[{{Padding}} dragging out the story longer than necessary]] while also both not having the original writer's direct involvement to lend authenticity to the stories and [[TheChrisCarterEffect opening the door for increasingly large numbers of ultimately never resolved questions]], which made it much harder for the readers to ignore the snail's pace at which the main overarching narrative appeared to be working towards its conclusion.
