History YMMV / CarrerasLegions

* ValuesDissonance: ''The Amazon Legion'' is this to people spanning wide sections of the political spectrum, due to Carrera's idiosyncratic treatment of homosexuals and women in his military. Hard right-wingers will be annoyed that they are allowed in it at all, whereas liberals will probably dislike the way he segregates them and (more meta-fictionally) the somewhat insensitive treatment of the female main character.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The later books retcon some parts of the setting's backstory from the first installment, which either [[WritersCannotDoMath didn't work]] or else weren't thematically appropriate to the setting as it came to develop. At least some of this was subsequent to reader input.
** The earliest version of the Great Global War (basically, World War II JustForFun/RecycledInSpace) had Imperial Yamato suffer complete economic collapse and the deaths of [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide some thirty million of its citizens]] at the hands of the Federated States. Critics pointed out that this made it very unlikely for Yamato to remain the major industrial and political powerhouse it was portrayed as in the present day of the setting, only a generation and a half later. Since the original figures came from [[FictionalDocument an in-universe popular history book]], Kratman had little trouble writing another description of the war into a later volume, which made clear that the first one was [[UnreliableExpositor exaggerated]].
** Other readers complained that the Chinese wouldn't name their space colony Zhong Guo for historical reasons. When Kratman eventually started to include Zhong POV characters in the series, it was revealed that their state is really named Xing Zhong Guo ("New Zhong Guo" in Chinese)--it's just that foreigner's don't care and typically truncate the name.
** A rather technical reader complaint about the first book was that the physics of the airship suicide terrorism there should not work as presented, due to various structural concerns which probably shouldn't be exhaustively detailed here. In any case, Kratman has since elaborated on this in later installments, explaining that airships on Terra Nova are mostly lifting-body hybrid aircraft (effectively, a variation of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_airship dynastat]] basic design), and that colliding one with a skyscraper would indeed result in more or less what he wrote originally -- though he has also acknowledged that given the lack of detail he gave there, the readers' skeptical conclusion was a fair one at the time.
