History YMMV / DuelingTriggerFinger

* BaseBreakingCharacter: ''Both'' of the despair twins get hit with this:
** Junko is very easy to discern why she's loved and hated. She's a [[CompleteMonster monster]] and uses and abuses and disposes of anyone and everyone without restraint. She's considered ''extremely annoying'' by some and given her canon status as a VillainSue to many, it's understandable why her constant ability to get away with murder--both figuratively and literally--piss people off just as much as they make people giddy and see her as a good villain. More striking is that Junko is often shown manipulating and scheming in the fic, as opposed to canon where most things were just handed to her. What's ''not'' helping, unfortunately, is how much Junko somehow flies under the radar. [[DevilInPlainSight The only person remotely onto her nonsense is Tea]] and that's not helped by the LoveTriangle currently being fought between the two girls.
*** These particular issues came to a head in Chapter 128, where she committed some of her villainous acts right in front of the whole cast. Readers' issues with that particular chapter, as well as some of the general problems they had with Junko, ended up being addressed in the following chapter by the other characters calling her out and having her face consequences for her actions for once. Still some readers weren't satisfied, claiming she still got off too easy.

** As mentioned above under AntiClimaxBoss, the final duel against [[spoiler: Izuru]] can fall under this: On one hand; the duel is appropriately paced and choreographed that reflects how powerful an opponent [[spoiler: Izuru is to Chiaki and Nagito]] and that it can be agreed upon that the highlight of the chapters is [[spoiler: Chiaki's heartfelt moments with Izuru/Hajime]]. On the other hand; the duel feels like a rushed mess that ends right when the the duel reaches its tipping point, wastes [[spoiler: Nagito's LetGetDangerous declaration to stand as Chiaki's equal/field by having him eliminated very early on in the duel]], and has the unfortunate mess of sharing page time with the resolution of [[spoiler: Gundham and Marik's Shadow Game]] and all the other scenes that happened.
** Relating to Chisa's entry above as a BaseBreakingCharacter, her duel with Joey during the Kaiba Corp Grand Prix. [[spoiler:While she does lose--and almost everyone saw this as a good thing--many also noted that the amount of dead draws Chisa had during the duel were a sign that the author made Chisa so skilled and broken that the only way Joey was going to be able to beat her was if she just got unlucky and feel it takes away from the accomplishment of actually winning against her. Or to put it another way: Joey isn't punching up, if Chisa is tripping and falling down the stairs. However, to the people that loved the duel, they see it as one of the story's best so far, noting the dead draws as "just part of the game"]].

** [[spoiler:For those who were on the verge of DarknessAudienceInducedApathy for the Orichalcos arc, Yukizome's victory in chapter 66 and subsequent cries of victory are most ''certainly'' this]].

* FanDisservice: Ordinarily, Junko licking Yami's chest would be seen as erotic, but it's ''Junko''. One reader even described the circumstances of it as Junko sexually harassing the age-old Pharaoh.

** Mukuro being prominently on display in this fic is one of the many reasons why she's becoming slightly controversial. The ''rest'' is almost assuredly her connection to Junko and her [[RonTheDeathEater demonization]] in ''[[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool Danganronpa 3]]''. But Mukuro also seems to be struggling with her own morality and because she's still obeying Junko like a YesMan, some of her actions draw ire from readers. [[spoiler:Good example is murdering Zigfried]]. Some feel that Mukuro should just turn on Junko and be done with it because she has all the tools to end The Tragedy prematurely, and always did. Others argue that those people don't fully comprehend the abuse and emotional torment that Mukuro lives with on a regular basis and that they ''vastly underestimate'' what growing up with Junko as a sister can do to one's mental state. Mukuro is, to her defenders, just as much a victim as the people she kills and see those people as victims of Junko's will, not Mukuro, who struggles to even have a will of her own.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In chapter 89, Hiyoko says she doubts that, despite [[spoiler:Hajime and Chiaki not using protection during sex, that Chiaki would go all teen mom on the group. Guess what's revealed 4 chapters later?]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** After having canon duels skipped and glossed over numerous times, Chapter 56 features the canonical duel between Yugi and Kaiba in full. Not only that, while said duel is left entirely unchanged from canon; the added expansions courtesy of the commentary and involvement of the ''Danganronpa'' characters only serve to enhance the experience in a way.
** A minor example, but some found [[spoiler:Chiaki's line [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar "I don't feel so good"]] to bring too much {{Narm}} to her losing her soul]]. The author later edited it out.
** Fans unhappy with Dartz being a KarmaHoudini at the end of the Orichalcos arc in canon can take satisfaction that such a thing does not happen here, where he gets a more befitting final fate.
** Initial reactions to the duel between Junko and Chiaki in Chapter 128 were surprisingly negative, due to [[spoiler:Junko giving glimpses of her true face in front of everyone, as well as forcing Chiaki into a pseudo-shadow game by hacking into the hologram system to make them do real damage.]] Fans were concerned that Junko was going too far too early and might end up being [[Main/EasilyForgiven easily forgiven]] with the characters just ignoring her actions so the plot can move forward. Thankfully the followup chapter addressed all these concerns by having several characters call out Junko and having her face consequences for her actions with her first real setback to her plans so far.

* UnfortunateImplications:
** While normally wholly upbeat and eager for feedback, the Author Note of Chapter 34, when asking for audience preferences for ships, specifies to not include any [[YaoiGenre yaoi pairings]]; no stipulation for [[YuriGenre yuri couples]] is mentioned.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Leon's fairy-tale deck got some new, original monsters that are all intentionally based on the corresponding WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} characters, the outlier being Raphaela. While Raphaela represents Rapunzel, she's based on Yang Xiao-Long, who herself is based on Goldilocks. The author admitted he genuinely believed Yang to be based on Rapunzel before it was pointed out.

** Believe it or not, Chisa Yukizome also gets slapped with this. Many enjoy seeing the Housekeeper finally get her due and show what she's really capable of as an individual. Others, however, feel that the author ''overcompensated'' and made Chisa ''too powerful''.

* NoYay: Yugi (or more specifically Yami) gets ship teased with Junko a lot during the Orichalcos arc. Suffice to say, any appeal of the ship tease loses ''all'' its charm seeing as it's well ''Junko''.
