* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: While Second Edition was criticized for featuring many prominent women and LGBT characters by fans of First Edition, Khitai has been hit with accusations of subtle or overt racism and cultural appropriation by the fans of Second Edition, particularly with the removal of the "Sailing" skill and the addition of the "Mysticism" skill. When people began dogpiling on the dev team, saying they minimized, ignored, or outright erased the maritime achievements of the adapted cultures, JW himself stepped in on the Kickstarter to, first, point out that over half of the dev team is of Asian descent, second, the anthropologists and historians they are partnering with will be of Asian descent and experts in their fields, and third, all of the other skills in the game could be used for individual tasks aboard a boat rather than reducing all the complex tasks of sailing a ship to one bland skill.

* GeniusBonus: Some Khazar communities near Ussura and the Sarmatian Commonwealth are stated to have adopted Yachidism, the setting's equivalent of Judaism. This is a reference to the historical Khazars, a civilization of steppe nomads noted for being the only society in history to have ever converted to Judaism en masse.

* UnfortunateImplications: While probably an oversight on the development team's part, it has been noted by some backers that the word "Han" in the Korean language has a [[NWordPrivileges history]] when used as slang to refer to Chinese individuals.
** It has also already been noted by some that, depending on how charitably you want to interpret it, the use of Virtues instead of Traits in Khitai Heroes can either imply that [[MagicalAsian East Asians are wiser and more spiritual than Westerners]], or that they're ''less practical''. Both aren't entirely comfortable.
** The revelation that magic across the Khitaian Nations will apparently be more uniform than in the West (with each "mystical" practice being mechanically classifiable as shamanism, alchemy, forbidden knowledge or supernatural heritage, albeit with "regional flavors") has incited yet further outrage, as people feel that the traditions of eight distinctive cultures are being reduced into identity whilst ''also'' possibly making some kind of implication about fundamental cosmic differences between "the Orient" and the rest of the world.

* FanDumb: With all of the concerns outlined below, John Wick's team has had to state many, many, many times that the game is still not finished, and likely all of these issues will be addressed in one way or another before the book hits the printer. It still hasn't stopped people from loudly crying about [[EverythingIsRacist racism and cultural appropriation.]]
