History YMMV / NeonGenesisEvangelionR

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: This was one of the first big ''Evangelion'' fics, which is probably why it got so much attention (including from some of the American voice actors). But compared to stories like ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'', ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'', ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'', ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'' or ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'', ''Eva-R'' looks rather average.

* TrueArtIsAngsty: Possibly a major factor in Lyn's very existence.

But compared to stories like ''Manga/ReTake'', ''Fanfic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K'', ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'', ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'', ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'', ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'', ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'', ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'' or ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'', ''Eva-R'' looks rather average.

* MagnificentBastard: Gendo gets a full upgrade to this from ManipulativeBastard in ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionR'' , outmaneuvering Seele for most of the storyline and delaying TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt for at least a few months.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: You wouldn't expect this in a ''fanfic'' of all things but ''The Human Complement'' is simply straight-up awesome. Some of the other tunes aren't half bad either.

* MagnificentBastard: Gendo gets a full upgrade to this from ManipulativeBastard in ''EvangelionR'' , outmaneuvering Seele for most of the storyline and delaying TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt for at least a few months.

* TearJerker: Quite a few, [[LighterAndFluffier though nowhere near as many as the original series]]. Aoi's a big target for these, [[spoiler:[[DeathEqualsRedemption in particular her death scene]] in ''Prime'']].

** He gets away with it though, [[GenkiGirl because Aoi]] [[TheHeart is cool]].

* TheWoobie: Shinji. And Asuka. But Lyn and Aoi take the cake for this, or at least try to.

But compared to stories like ''{{Doujinshi/RE-TAKE}}'', ''FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K'', and ''FanFic/NobodyDies'', ''Eva-R'' looks rather mediocre.

* TheWoobie: Shinji, of course. And Asuka. But Lyn and Aoi take the cake for this, or at least try to.

* TheWesley: A few reviewers have commented that Lyn seems like [[ExtremeDoormat an even more pathetic version]] of [[TheWoobie Shinji]]. While this might not be entirely fair as he has a few traits that set him apart, Lyn is [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute a little too similar to Shinji for his own good]], making him among the dullest characters. In spite of that, a great deal of the story is spent on him.
** He gets away with it though, [[GenkiGirl because Aoi]] [[TheHeart is cool]].

* AntiSue: Lyn might come off this way, if only because he seems to have all of Shinji's problems, while remaining a thoroughly mediocre Eva pilot. YourMilageMayVary.

* MagnificentBastard: Gendo gets a full upgrade to this from ManipulativeBastard in ''EvangelionR'' ([[YourMilageMayVary though he was always borderline anyway]]), outmaneuvering Seele for most of the storyline and delaying TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt for at least a few months.
