** ''Darkly'' hilarious in hindsight. In the BadFuture of this fic, which started writing as a {{continuation}} of where the series' story was at at the time, the Kingdom of Atlas is stated to be the sole kingdom that's still functioning in any form by the time before Jaune goes back in time, whereas the others have all been wiped out or collapsed into anarchy. As of the end of Volume 8 of ''RWBY'', the Kingdom of Atlas is officially destroyed while the other three recognized kingdoms are still functioning, albeit two of them have had their huntsman defences crippled and decimated.

** Jaune Ashari fought through the end of the world as we know it and the deaths of just about ''everyone'' he ever loved in the BadFuture, which made him grief-wracked and desperate enough to agree to [[DealWithTheDevil a deal with a dying Salem]] to rewind the game by sending him back in time, hoping that he could use it to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong. Although he makes many meaningful friends and family in the past timeline, it is not all sunshine and rainbows for Jaune. More than being faced with younger alternate iterations of his friends and loved ones whom are now over a decade younger and don't know him the same way they knew him in the old timeline, some of the changes Jaune makes to history are for the worse instead of the better, and those changes often hit very close to home for him. For examples, he saves a child Ruby's life but in the process traumatizes her to the point where his first friend's alternate self can't so much as be near him without feeling afraid, he feels responsible for his presence driving Salem to radicalize the White Fang several years early ''and'' for Blake's new timeline self going down a darker path where she essentially swaps roles with Adam, and Pyrrha's counterpart -- who is a living, breathing reminder of Jaune's partner and first love who he lost -- ends up being adverse and ''alienated'' towards Jaune Ashari in the past. Jaune is also ''deeply'' shaken by knowing that there's living versions of his parents and sisters in the past whom he feels he can never ingratiate himself with because they have their own Jaune with them without all the timey-wimey complications, after his family in the original timeline were slaughtered by Tyrian. Still, for every pain and loss in the new timeline, Jaune has a connection he didn't have before to keep living and fighting for, and he presses on, undeterred in his goal of stopping Salem while preventing the deaths of his friends at any cost.

** Helena's insistence that Alexander loves his daughters was seen by some as being meant to justify Pyrrha not quitting tournament fighting, as every moment he was in the story seemed to suggest the exact opposite. During Pyrrha's FakeAssassination, Alexander gets in Jaune's way and begs him to spare his daughters with genuine emotion, finally providing evidence for these claims.
** As mentioned under BaseBreakingCharacter, many readers were unhappy at Blake's blatant KarmaHoudini as a result of her joining Beacon despite all of her villainous acts from her time with the White Fang. Chapter 106 then has Summer reveal that the staff are all aware of her history with the White Fang and if she so much as breaths in the wrong way she'll be treated as a threat.
** The first fight between Hazel and Jaune was a complete and utter AntiClimax with AssPull justifications for how everyone involved survived the fight (which even the author himself acknowledged in his notes). The second time they fight, the two go toe to toe for an entire chapter with both of them getting beaten to shreds, Raven's BigDamnHeroes is saved for the very end, and there's a very definitive winner with Hazel's death. Overall, this second duel was treated a lot better than the first one was.
** Raven offering Cinder a place in her tribe, even going so far as to allow her to raid with them and take her spoils afterwards had readers happy for those who believed Cinder would remain said power-hungry psychopath as discussed above. By doing so, Cinder feels more appreciated for her talents, and her lust for power could be sated by asserting her dominance through banditry.
** As mentioned under UnintentionallyUnsympathetic, many felt that Raven was being treated too nicely by Jaune and the narration and that her negative traits were being too downplayed. Chapters 113 and 114 then have Raven willingly leading a raid on an innocent village and applauding her bandits for slaughtering its inhabitants, alongside calling Jaune out for blinding himself to who she really is.
** After all of the problems with Raven calling Jaune selfish for coming back to fix the timeline (which disregarded both her own role in the timeline failing and just how terrible the BadFuture was), the next time Raven tries to claim that he's being selfish by trying to put everything onto himself, Jaune has enough and angrily asks her how exactly he's being selfish. Raven rather noticeably ignores the question instead of trying to answer it.
** To further humanize Cinder, it's revealed that her tutelage under Salem and her punishments wasn't a picnic either, to the point where even ''Jaune'' was horrified, and attempted to stop this abuse. As of Chapter 127, Summer even discusses swaying Cinder from being an apprentice of Salem to Jaune, because he has the combat prowess and influence that Cinder wants.
** Initially, Bertilak demanding Jaune spar with him seemed incredibly unnecessary, meaning Coeur was quickly accused of {{Padding}} and [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants not knowing where he was going in Vacuo]]. The very next chapter turns it into a plot point because Bertilak was testing Jaune's skills to see if he was able to take down the Crown for him, all under the guise of [[ArrogantKungFuGuy arrogance and insecurity]].

** [[EvilGenius Dr. Arthur Watts]], one of Salem's [[Characters/RWBYSalemsFaction top lieutenants]], is a petty and narcissistic sociopath who cares for nothing but his own ego. Joining Salem's cause over a nonexistent slight against him, Watts is willing to do anything required of him with no qualms or regrets, including personally kidnapping two 10-year-old children and leading another kidnapping of a teenager. When Jaune offers to cut him in on a deal for a new energy source, Watts takes offense, believing that Jaune is implying that he is smarter by declaring him a "partner". In response, Watts [[YourSoulIsMine steals Winter's soul]] and leaves her an [[EmptyShell empty and comatose shell]], taking glee in the fact that he's too valuable to Salem's cause to be punished. When Jaune follows him to Argus, Watts takes the entire city's power grid hostage, declaring that if Jaune attempts to catch him, he'll throw the entire city back into the Stone Age, starting with the city's hospital. Believing himself [[AGodAmI akin to a God]] because of his computer skills, Watts spreads nothing but terror and death wherever he goes.
**[[PsychopathicManchild Jax Asturias]] is the leader of the Crown, a HumanTrafficking organization working to install him as King of Vacuo. With his Semblance of MindControl, Jax enslaves anyone who crosses his path to recruit them for his "army", including winners of the fight club he manages and even children as young as eight; their minds and personality are left intact, yet [[AndIMustScream they can do nothing to stop him]]. Desperate for others to feed his ego, he also makes a plan to enslave Rashem, force him to run Vacuo's economy into the ground, and then kill him; if it had succeeded, Rashem's pregnant wife would have been killed as well. Jax's ego has him override his sister and Carmine and attack Jaune Ashari and Qrow Branwen, using his enslaved army of unarmed and untrained civilians to ensure [[DirtyCoward he doesn't have to get his hands dirty himself]], all out of a childish belief that Vacuo is all his.

* HilariousInHindsight: Adam is shown to have a scarred face a few months before the same thing was revealed in canon. Not only that, it also retroactively gave further justification to Adam's AdaptationalHeroism: he wasn't scarred by humans, but by someone else in the White Fang, so what is assumed to be a major personal reason for his canon extremism is pointed in the opposite direction.

** Initially, Bertilak demanding Jaune spar with him seemed incredibly unnecessary, meaning Coeur was quickly accused of {{Padding}} and [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants not knowing where he was going in Vacuo]]. The very next chapter turns it into a plot point because Bertilak was testing Jaune's skills to see if he was able to take down the Crown for him, all under the guise of [[ArrogantKungFuGuy arrogance and insecurity]].

* ItWasHisSled: Team STRQ features prominently in the artwork on the story, including Summer, making it incredibly obvious that they all have big parts to play. This spoils both the fact that Jaune travelled farther in the past than intended as well as Summer's survival.

** To further humanize Cinder, it's revealed that her tutelage under Salem and her punishments wasn't a picnic either, to the point where even ''Jaune'' was horrified, and attempted to stop this abuse. As of Chapter 127, Summer even discusses swaying Cinder from being an apprentice of Salem to Jaune, because he has the combat prowess and influence that Cinder wants.

** After all of the problems with Raven calling Jaune selfish for coming back to fix the timeline (which disregarded both her own role in the timeline failing and just how terrible the BadFuture was), the next time Raven tries to claim that he's being selfish by trying to put everything onto himself, Jaune has enough and angrily asks her how exactly he's being selfish. Raven rather noticeably ignores the question instead of trying to answer it.
Added DiffLines:
** After Jaune accepts Salem's mark, Raven lectures Jaune on how he could have run away and made an escape with her portals instead of letting Salem mark him. Jaune doesn't try to defend himself during this conversation, implying we're meant to think she's right, but this argument disregards the fact that Salem was ''three feet away'' from him in the entire conversation, the castle was surrounded by Grimm, Tyrian was still inside, and Cinder was ''right next to him'', so even if he had wanted to decline he truly didn't have any way he could escape.
