History YMMV / WhiteDevilOfTheMoon

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Nanoha sees the incident in Episode 3 of the original ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', in which her failing to act on a possible sighting of a Jewel Seed, resulting in damage to Uminari City, as [[MyGreatestFailure a failure]] that motivates herself to push herself as much as she can, resulting in her being a {{Workaholic}} averse to rest.

** Vivio defeating Chibi-Usa and causing her and her alternate timeline to disappear was also a controversial action, especially since it was essentially killing her. WordOfGod has clarified, however, that Picoha was the aggressor, attacking without stating her intent, and Vivio tried to defeat her non-lethally, without knowing what would happen to her.
*** However, most people in return point out that the writer did a horrible job of showing this, and the chapter itself (unrelated to the rest of the story) felt like it was created just to shit on the Sailor Moon side some more.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Picoha came off [[BrokenBase to most people who have seen both series]] as a girl who tried to protect her own timeline and got written out of existence in the process.
* WriterOnBoard: Bissek goes out of his way to give the Senshi the short end of the stick, using an altered canon that incorporates elements cherry-picked from both manga and anime canon with the goal of making the Senshi look as weak, useless, and morally bankrupt as possible. The whole issue with Serenity killing herself, for instance, is taken from the manga, while the Senshi themselves display abilities only on par with their heavily-nerfed anime counterparts. The villains that the Senshi struggled with for over a year are also trivially dispatched within weeks of the TSAB showing up (granted, the Senshi took out the same number of Dark Generals as the TSAB, and Nephrite only lost to Vita via a GroinAttack he didn't expect). And let's not even get started on the Picoha omake.

* CriticalResearchFailure: [[spoiler: In the final chapter, one of the [[{{Mooks}} youma]], who happens to be capable of VoluntaryShapeshifting, uses Reinforce's form to get close to Hayate and Signum. Unfortunately for her, she exposes herself by addressing them as "you two" while Signum was in a unison with Rein Zwei. Rein Zwei called her out on it, and Signum took her out.]]

* StrawmanHasAPoint: At one point, Luna is stated to be far more sympathetic to Serenity committing suicide at the end of the Moon Kingdom, which rendered the sacrifices of Kamen and Mina pointless. While this is meant to show that Luna is out of touch with reality (and for the most part she is), the point she raises is perfectly correct: Nanoha had been a member of the TSAB and was trained to not sacrifice herself pointlessly, had known ''years'' of battles against the forces of evil, and held herself to such high standards that she literally worked herself into the hospital, and is judging a girl raised in a completely different environment with a completely different set of priorities up until that point by said standards, which aren't exactly fair to Serenity.

* WriterOnBoard: Between Chibi-Usa bashing, liberal use of {{Conflict Ball}}s to force the Senshi into a HeroAntagonist role, and a massively one-sided LoveTriangle among many other such signs, the author ''very obviously'' favors the Nanoha characters over the Senshi, who are portrayed as massively incompetent and wrong about ''everything'' even when they're ''not'' hideously out of character (RE: Luna). He gives them occasional lipservice in his authors notes, but in-fic the Senshi behave and perform like a squad of Mooks and struggle to take out a single [[MechaMook drone]] that mages of their rank should be able to slaughter by the dozens early in the fic.
** Definitely a YMMV topic. Much like PowerCreepPowerSeep fans of one show will tend to feel that their show's characters are being maligned while the other show's characters are being [[MarySue Mary Sue'd]].
** Power is rarely the issue (I kind of agree with how the power stands up). It's usually ''plot elements'' that, when the two series are compared, the situation is usually resolved very quickly (often [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot to the detriment of any possible dramatic or emotional tension]]), and overwhelmingly in favor of Nanoha's series.
** One blatant example in the final chapter: what happened to the DD Girls, the ones who in the Sailor Moon anime [[spoiler:killed all the Inner Senshi]]? All but one died because [[spoiler:they just happened to be in the path of Nanoha's first Divine Buster (Nanoha was trying a DungeonBypass)]].

* MoralEventHorizon: Precia crosses this in Fate's eyes when she [[spoiler:attacks Alicia for refusing to stand aside and let her continue to torture Fate]].

** Was Nanoha justified in harshly calling the Queen out on how she raised Serenity? Additionally, was this in character for Nanoha, who is more responsible than Usagi or Serenity, or was this contrary to someone who would "befriend" her enemies?

* NamesTheSame: Ami Mizuno and Amy Limietta
** It should be noted that the names Ami and Amy are not pronounced in the same way at all (Ami being pronounced very much like the French word for friend. e.g. "Mon ami.") and that confusing the two would have been unlikely to say the least.
