| 1 | * {{Narm}}: Genji finally realizes how beautiful Aoi looks and remarks on this... while she's ''giving birth'' in front of him. |
| 2 | * {{Squick}}: Reading the interactions between little Murasaki and Genji, when you know that he's flat out grooming her to be his perfect woman, can often be hard to stomach. |
| 3 | * ValuesDissonance: Back then, Genji was seen as the ideal Heian man due to caring for the women he had affairs with and taking care of them in his household. Now? Not so much. Aspects of the story (Genji having multiple affairs, sneaking around, etc) may seem odd to modern readers, but back then were expected parts of the life of a Heian nobleman. Well, in moderation; Genji pulls a ''lot'' of heinous stuff that was considered outrageous even back then. Like seducing and siring a son on his father's wife... or making plans for Murasaki when she's ''much'' too young even by medieval standards. |
| 4 | ** On the other hand, the majority of the stunts the males pull on the women clearly come off as rape and sexual assaults. While Murasaki did depict some as absolute no-nos InUniverse (such as with Tamakazura), others were seen as romantic and easily excused. |
