History YMMV / ForestOfDespair

** The students' actions during 2-6. [[spoiler: Shinichi gets peer pressured into drinking alcohol. This is just seemed as normal at first...until it is revealed that Shinichi's cup is laced with poison. He painfully dies in debately the worse way in all of the series just because he gave into peer pressure. If he stood his ground, he would still be alive.]]

** Mitsuru just seems to attract all of the Hoyay.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mochi. Even being a rabbit, Mochi has a lot of fans because he is cute. Plus, he belongs to Yasu, one of the more chill characters that is well liked.
* HarsherinHindsight:
** The drunk chapter. [[spoiler: Knowing that Sae came out while Akita was drunk and was begging for escape just makes the whole chapter a lot more creepy.]]

* {{Moe}}: Naoko is cute and pretty at the same time.

* ShipMates: Due to fandom still being small, and the author supporting most ships, there is hardly ever any conflict over ships and some people like to multiship.

* Squick:

** On a much smaller level, there are the two jewelers, Kira and Cassius. Some see Cassius and Kira as just a couple of brats, and others find their actions either super adorable or funny.

** Strangely enough, Takayuki, Naoko, and Mirabilis. Takayuki and Naoko have a lot of ship teases, while Mirabilis is usually with them since she is trying to purify Takayuki. All of the different ships in this threesome have different layers which causes some fans to ship them.

** [[spoiler: Some feel that Kazuhiko is like this. They feel like he was killed off way too soon and had an interesting personality and moral mindset.]]

* AwesomeEgo: Some view Cassius as hasing this.

* NightmareFuel: None has its own page.

* NightmareFuel
** The situation of the Killing Game is Nightmare Fuel as it is. Now it setting place is a forest where there's no wildlife is creepy.
** [[spoiler: All of chapter 1-4, other than being a mind fuck, is a lot of this. Especially the parts with Hideyoshi, as it was made canon that he ripped Akita's fingernails off and then cut off her hands...There's a reason why this story is rated M.]]
** [[spoiler: Akita's death as well. She was stabbed twenty-one times, including right in her eye socket, and had blunt force trauma applied to her head.]]
** Just the pool in general. You do not want to know what is in there, much less swim in it.
** [[spoiler: Kazuhiko's execution. After being shot at three times and having his ears bleed, the three robots fall onto him and crush him. During all of this Monokuma's are throwing rocks at him and Kazuhiko has lost his shoes, making his feet exposed. Afterward, the conveyor belt from the first part of the execution comes falling down and crushes him. It is noted that his legs and feet barely look human anymore, and the only thing that does not appear broken is one of his arms. With that, he tries to pull himself above the wreckage, and, once he does, says he loves Ayano and dies of his injuries. That's messed up.]]
** [[spoiler: The fact that the mastermind does not clean or provide the students with anything. The students have to wear the same thing, and they also have the bury their own classmates and clean the crime scenes! Oh my God!]]
** [[spoiler: Monokuma places Kazuhiko's dead body into Ayano's room while she is still mourning. His dead body! He is starting to decay and was killed horribly as stated before.]]

* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: Shipping Mirabilis with Minato is actually getting some backing even though they've never purposefully interacted with each other.

* Broken Base:

** There's Kazuhiko. Some love him for his energetic personality and protectiveness over Ayano, while others hate him for what he did for Akita and always wanting to do anything, besides hurt Ayano, for a scoop.
