* CantTakeCriticism: After Rinnie decides to make her first original story, many of her readers (particularly Ash) noted all the failings after three chapters and gave her reviews. Rinnie's response? She created fake accounts to boost her own ego and banned all the ones who didn't give her a positive comment.


Added DiffLines:

* {{NEET}}: Rinnie started off as this, freeloading from Kim and Dan, living in their livingroom and doing nothing other than eating snacks and write Yaoi Fanfiction. This starts to change when Rinnie has her JerkassRealization once she [[spoiler:has to ask her father for money and makes serious attempts to be a real writer and have a work so she can properly pay rent to Dan and Kim]].

* OccidentalOtaku: Ash, Matt and Rinnie represent this in different scales: Ash is more of the "purist" kind, who loathes English Dubbed anime and criticizes bookstores for only having "mainstream" material. Rinnie used to be a ''Weeaboo'' in highschool, who eventually migrated to comicbooks and western animation. And Matt is in middle ground, as he likes both anime and RPG.
