History YMMV / MemoriesOfInfinitesPast

* CompleteMonster (includes ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13224309/1/Sonic-Forces-Chapter-2 Sonic Forces Chapter 2]]''): Former terrorist and thrill killer [[Characters/SonicTheHedgehogInfinite Clyde the jackal]] escapes from prison to become a ruthless crime boss. Killing his ArchEnemy Stryker, Clyde takes the "Phantom Ruby" from the classic version of Eggman, before torturing both the past and present versions of Eggman for more information on the item. Mastering the Ruby's power, Clyde [[BadBoss murders his own loyal henchmen]] before attacking Grand Metropolis, turning the world into HellOnEarth when Sonic and his companions fail to stop him. Psychologically and physically tormenting a jackal who tries to stop him, Clyde has several innocent wisps and their mother captured and transformed into brainwashed creatures to empower his own weapons. After he seemingly defeats Sonic, Clyde brainwashes the resistance group into maiming each other while leaving the survivors to be executed and, after truly being beaten, he [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum tries to destroy the universe out of spite]].

* {{Narm}}: Even for the grammar-fixing rewrite, the good number of grammar errors and deliberate ScriptFic structure can make even the most serious parts hilarious to read, especially if you're a GrammarNazi.

* BetterThanCanon: Many readers have praised Infinite's backstory and considered it better than the one shown in ''VideoGame/SonicForces'', especially at cleaning up and providing reason for Infinite's character.

** Scar losing a casual game of Go Fish:

* HilariousInHindsight: ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12755614/1/Forced-AU-The-Backstories-The-Rewrite Forced AU: The Backstories & The Rewrite]]'', another fanfic that also gives Infinite's possible backstory, also has a [[NamesTheSame jackal named Clyde]], except he's on Infinite's side.

* JerkassWoobie: Sure, Axel [[AbusiveParents psychologically abused his son]] and even [[spoiler:attempted to [[[[OffingTheOffspring kill him]]]], but you gotta feel sorry for his [[TheLostLenore wife]]'s DeathByChildbirth, considering his wife was the only person who ever genuinely loved him. Even Zero [[AlasPoorVillain does]] [[spoiler:when [[{{Patricide}} he slaughters him]]]].

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: [[spoiler:Zero as the Ultimate Mercenary wanting to take over and destroy the world with Eggman can seem quite petty, even though this was [[FreudianExcuse the result of the abuse he endured]].]]

'''Spoilers for ''Memories of Infinite's Past'' and TheReveal are unmarked.'''

* HolyShitQuotient: [[spoiler:'''Hyper''' Zero!]]

* AndIMustScream: In chapter 2, the Phantom Terrorist banished an innocent family to a dimension where nothing exist called, Null Space. So they can live out the rest of their days there.

** In chapter 11, Zero was full of so much [[DespairEventHorizon guilt, pain, and depression]] for his squad's death and Infinite's birth, that he ran away from the Resistance and [[DrivenToSuicide tried to kill himself]] by allowing a tank to shoot him.

(The sniper snatches the controller away from his partner.)

** Classic and Modern Eggman subject to ColdBloodedTorture is both [[TearJerker tearworthy]] and [[NightmareFuel fear-inducing]].

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Clyde had definitely crossed the line for being a {{Sadist}} who enjoyed killing innocents ForTheEvulz.]]

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Clyde the jackal]] is a [[TheDon crime boss]] and Stryker's ArchEnemy. During his time as a soldier, Clyde tortured an innocent army man, referring to his victim as a deserving "coward", and tried to murder Stryker for fleeing from combat. Caught and arrested, Clyde later [[FromCamouflageToCriminal escapes to build his own massive criminal network]], gaining wealth through arms dealing and assassination. Discovering Stryker is still alive, Clyde begins making plans to settle his score, ruthlessly executing his men who [[YouHaveFailedMe fail to kill Stryker]] for him.
