Hurting Hero is a disambiguation

** While Lief has his moments in the first series, the second and third series are what push him into HurtingHero territory. On top of the Shadow Lord constantly trying to mentally break him through the crystal, it's noted that the first months of his reign are marked by criticism, hatred, distancing himself from those he loves, and multiple attempts on his life--all towards one of the kindest people you'll ever meet--and while those get resolved, things only get ''worse'' for him in the third series. He feels like a fraud because at heart, he's just a teenage boy and not the perfect king others see him as, with his position making it easy for him to blame himself for anything that goes wrong (and things go wrong a ''lot''). ''Shadowgate'' and ''Sister of the South'' are particularly cruel to him, the latter being a TraumaCongaLine that nearly pushes him past the DespairEventHorizon.

* CompleteMonster: The [[SorcerousOverlord Shadow Lord]] is an envious, ancient ruler of the Shadowlands who invaded Deltora in the past. Driven off by King Adin and the power of the Belt of Deltora, the Shadow Lord has spent centuries isolating the royal family from their people and spreading suffering across Deltora in preparation for another invasion. Invading at last, the Shadow Lord has most of the Palace's inhabitants slaughtered and the Belt destroyed, hiding the Seven Gems at the most dangerous places in Deltora, including the Valley of the Lost, which the Shadow Lord enchanted to turn everybody who comes to it into lost spirits. The Shadow Lord's armies spread across the land, exterminating the entire Jalis tribe save for Glock and capturing countless people for [[GladiatorGames gladiator fights]] in the Shadowlands. When the Gems are reunited on the reforged Belt, the Shadow Lord has Dain pretend to be an heir and uses him to lure heroes into the Royal Palace. The Shadow Lord comes personally to end the rebellion, planning to slaughter the heroes and all their allies.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: One of the biggest criticisms of the anime for the original novel readers was that the anime radically changed the iconic creature designs of Deltora for not apparent reason. Some monsters like the Ak-Baba and Thaegan's children was so radically different, you wouldn't even know it was them without the characters outright stating what they were. Since the original novels was so well known ''because'' of its creature designs, the change was seen as baffling and unnecessary by fans of the series.
