* QuestionableConsent: There is a lot of heated debate in regards to the chapter labeled "Day 20" in regards to what happens to Shayma, the fox-woman. She is clearly being chased by human hunters and runs into Blue to try and take refuge. Blue opens a secret room with food, table, chair, bed, and breeding device, and opens another corridor full of spike traps. She goes into the room and listens intently as the hunters take the corridor, after Blue conceals the room. Once the hunters are dealt with, Shayma '''asks''' Blue to hide a metal cube and then goes and sits on the breeding device herself... to predictable results. Rape, SexualExtortion, and UnproblematicProstitution get tossed around as the ''interpretation'' of what happened, as there's no way Shayma, or anyone else, could testify about Blue's ''intent'', since Blue never communicated with Shayma, nor gave any instructions in any way.

* SustainedMisunderstanding: Thanks to Blue being completely unable to communicate with anyone except Shayma, for all of book one, just about everyone thinks he's a captured mage-king dungeon owned by either Shayma or Queen Iniri, and act accordingly. This causes numerous problems as idiots of all types go after his core to try and steal, enslave, kill, or otherwise exploit him. In fact, a certain duke's idiot son uses a magical device to get dangerously close to both Blue's core and the resident visiting dragon, getting himself and his party killed in the process.
