** Chapter 38 had some fans feeling Kurenai lost a lot of sympathy regarding her relationship with Naruto due to her being manipulative and openly controlling about who Naruto marries. Despite knowing for a fact that Naruto had been in a sexual (and later romantic) relationship with Ino even longer than she had, Kurenai only intended to tell Ino if Hinata decided not to marry him. Furthermore, Kurenai acts like it's a given that she'll be marrying Naruto and that she "can accept" him marrying other women. By contrast, Ino has long since come to the conclusion that she actually ''wants'' Naruto to marry her and Sakura.

** Jasmine in Chapter 18. In a blatant AuthorTract to the constant complaints about Jasmine being a sex worker despite being in Issei's Harem, Jasmine proceeds to attack ''everyone'' sans Issei and Kiba, who are too busy fighting, with her Sacred Gear, using an attack she normally uses to ''shatter skulls''. Why? [[DisproportionateRetribution Because Sona insulted her for being a sex worker]], and only ''after'' she goaded Sona by hitting her insecurities with Serafall. The only reason Vali doesn't get affected is because he managed to put a finger in his ear which reduced the effects. Later, she brutally rapes Raynare with a sibian while beating her ass with a riding crop just because the Fallen Angel accused her of padding her breasts--and given what happened earlier, it's highly likely that Jasmine said or did something to provoke her first.
*** Her ensuing rant about what she suffered as a result of what happened to Issei is ''supposed'' to make her come across as sympathetic and make it look like Sona was needlessly antagonistic, but it rings hollow because, as Jasmine even admits, ''Sona is still being [[LockedOutOfTheLoop kept in the dark]] about everything'', and that she still only did this just because Sona is ''Serafall's'' sister. Making matters worse is that she hit ''everyone'' too, including Rias who Issei has started considering part of his hoard, just for being in the area, yet doesn't appear apologetic for her actions, and that instead of actually ''telling'' them about what they're being kept in the dark about, she just continues to keep them ''in'' the dark.
*** Likewise is her reasons for ''becoming'' a sex worker. [[spoiler:She says she became one as a way of sticking it to the people watching her and waiting for her degrade herself, a means of demonstrating they had no hold on her.]] Many have called out these reasons as flimsy ''at best'', and that regardless of her reasons, it doesn't change the fact she ''also'' abandoned Issei in order to pursue her own issues. She even notes that she could have easily stuck by Issei and let him help her instead of doing any of this, but asked him ''not'' to just so she could do this instead, and just for him to trust her, making it sound like she's angry at being in a position that she ''put herself in''.
*** Even the reveal that [[spoiler:her dad committed suicide years ago]] did ''nothing'' to win over her detractors, as they lambasted it as nothing more than a blatant attempt to make her look sympathetic without ''actually addressing the issues of the prior chapter.''
** Issei himself is slowly sliding into this trope. His brutal treatment of Raynare is particularly repulsive (ranging from threatening to deny her food to ''attempted rape''), he never outright apologizes for his mistakes even when acknowledging them, and he keeps excusing Jasmine's awful behavior--both towards others and himself--because he's too pathetically in love with her to care. He's got a traumatic past and his share of decent moments, to be sure, but he's such a colossal prick most of the time that a good number of readers just [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse don't care anymore]] and want him to stop hiding behind what happened to him and move on
*** One particularly egregious issue is his hypocrisy: he mocks Kiba and Gasper's respective [[FreudianExcuse Freudian Excuses]] and forces them to confront their inner demons while [[NoSympathy obnoxiously telling them to get over it]]; and yet he staunchly clings to his own FreudianExcuse, [[ItsAllAboutMe demanding sympathy]] and various forms of compensation [[EntitledBastard when he's really owed nothing at all]], while viciously lashing out at ''anyone'' who tries to help him get over his own issues, or trying to turn it around on them without actually answering the criticism.

** While Chloe's reasons for not expressing her own interests and hobbies are comprehendible and worthy of some sympathy, it can be a bit hard to really be upset at others for not offering up things she was interested in if she kept her interests to a narrow circle and otherwise made it impossible for others to know about them. It is very easy to see a lot of the PoorCommunicationKills aspects of the story as being quite squarely on Chloe's shoulders even if the narrative would paint a picture that is more evenly split.
** It also doesn't help that Chloe is demonstrably uncaring about what everyone else is going through while she has her empowering adventure, not even her brother Parker who genuinely did nothing wrong by her. While she's shown relaxing and celebrating her new lease on life, '''everyone''' in Vermilion is beating themselves and each other up to a degree that can feel excessive (Ash gets no less than ''three'' lectures about how terrible he was for not doing more to spend time with someone who, from all appearances, didn't ''want'' to spend any time with him). Granted, this could be chalked up to FourthWallMyopia...except Chloe has her phone with her, and knows that Goh is driving himself insane looking for her and begging for forgiveness. And rather than confirm that she isn't dead in a ditch or even tell him that she won't accept his apologies for the sake of closure, she simply deletes the messages so Goh can keep suffering while she enjoys her adventure.
** Thankfully the author has been fully aware of what has been going on as the tail end of Arc 2 has Chloe determined to truly make amends with all she has hurt and truly begins to grow was as a person.

Months of exposure therapy sees very little progress on her end, causing many fans to lose interest and wish the author would just get on with it already.

Furthermore, Kurenai acts like it's a given that she'll be marrying Naruto and that she "can accept" him marrying other women.

* ''Creator/CoeurAlAran'''s works are guilty of this and how!
** FanFic/ForgedDestiny: Blake is considered to be this to a fair degree. Books 1 through 4 helped to establish a lot of sympathy for her and implied an interesting and complex past for her while still highlighting her genuine strengths and capacity to be a great teammate, friend, and lover. However from Book 5 onwards, she's begun to be stripped of a lot of the positive elements, and poor handling of her character results in her being seen as a self-righteous hypocrite who seems to expect others (Jaune especially) to treat her secrets with gentle hands, while she oftentimes is shown to have a disturbing lack of sympathy or understanding for others' issues or secrets (again, with Jaune). While the author has gone out of his way to try to establish her reasons for doing so (some more reasonable than others), the questionable logic and reasoning combined with a lackluster showing in the story, Jaune's sometimes excessive self-deprecation mixed with borderline Character Shilling of Blake's character have arguably only made her seem even more insufferable as a character.
*** Made all the worse in Book 8, where her abandoning the Guild in order to rush off and kill Raven on her own, and for reasons that either was never hinted at, if not expressly contradicted, cement her as a {{Hypocrite}} of the worse possible kind.
** FanFic/RelicoftheFuture:
*** Many readers feel that the narrative treats Raven far more kindly than she deserves to. Jaune considers her to be something of a friend and an ally worth trusting, despite the fact that she has, in the previous timeline, allied with Salem's servants and directly attacked Jaune's group. In contrast, Ozpin gets little trust or sympathy from Jaune, despite being portrayed far more sympathetically than Raven in canon, as he always tries his best to protect the people around him and to make the best out of a bad situation - though that is largely a result of CanonMarchesOn. Chapter 113 helped to alleviate this, with Raven still being a remorseless bandit and calling Jaune out for deluding himself into believing she's a good person at heart.
*** Some feel Pyrrha forfeited her right to sympathy in chapter 91. After insisting several times that she wanted to stop fighting in tournaments, especially once she started attending a Huntsman Academy, Pyrrha is pressured into entering another tournament but Helena helps her by announcing it's Pyrrha's final tournament before she retires. Despite finally having the perfect out to give up tournament fighting for good, Pyrrha still confirms in a press conference that she's not retiring and will continue fighting. Made worse by the fact one of Pyrrha's opponents in the tournament vastly outclassed her and offered the girl the chance to forfeit, but Pyrrha insisted on fighting on anyway rather than bowing out, and then she and Helena put all the blame on Jaune for “escalating the situation” when he continued to provide her an out.
*** Based on how the story is framed, the audience is supposed to accept the idea that Cinder could be swayed to the side of good if Jaune gave it a try, but Jaune is too set in his ways to try that. It's an interesting idea that Jaune doesn't seem to argue against, but the fact that Cinder is the exact same power-hungry psychopath that she was in canon despite all of Jaune's changes to the timeline really seems to suggest that Cinder is completely irredeemable.

** While Chloe's reasons for not expressing her own interests and hobbies are comprehendible and worthy of some sympathy, it can be a bit hard to really be upset at others for not offering up things she was interested in if she kept her interests to a narrow circle and otherwise made it impossible for others to know about them. It is very easy to see a lot of the PoorCommunicationKills aspects of the story as being quite squarely on Chloe's shoulders even if the narrative would paint a picture that is more evenly split. The author even admits that it's hard to make the arguments on both sides equal without bringing up the DoubleStandard on Chloe's side.

I am tired of that story calliing out other characters for not trying harder to open up to Chloe, while not calling out Chloe on her complete refusal to open up to anyone. Poor communication is a two-way street.

During one chapter where she questions and criticizes Beast Boy for finding his new significant other, she berates him and insults his choice in women; when he retorts that she too once fell in love with someone who manipulated her, [[{{Hypocrite}}Raven acts shocked and hurt]] and we're meant to be on her side. She comes across as more of a SpoiledBrat who is upset because her LoveInterest doesn't bow to her every whim. It's a story where you actually [[UnintentionallySympathetic feel more inclined]] toward the RomanticFalseLead.
