** In early 2015, the series author Mamare Touno was accused of a 3 million yen tax evasion scandal. While it was originally written off as a mistake and a formal apology released on his website, the case was further investigated until police officially announced that it was done on purpose and put him on house arrest with a 3-year probation. After that, the novels (both web and official publication alike) have had much more sporadic updates. Volume 11, the first volume that covers new content since the second season of the anime, wouldn't be published in Japan until March 2018, around two-and-a-half years after Volume 10's publication.

** "Tankbro" and "Brotsugu" for Naotsugu.
** Minori is sometimes called "The Villain With A Smile," because she's TheApprentice to "The Villain In Glasses".
** Due to Jovan Jackson's (an African-American) acting re-imagining Nyanta from a upper-class gentleman to a literal cool cat, so to speak, some fans have taken to affectionately refer to the dubbed version as "Sexy Black Nyanta".
** Scrub Horizon: The CastHerd of the junior members of the Log Horizon guild (Tohya, Minori, Isuzu, and Rudy), along with Serara (who's part of the herd despite being a member of the Crescent Moon Alliance).
** Lawn Dart - Londark, simply because his name sounds similar.

** Unlike most cases of this trope, however, the series' popularity (in Japan) doesn't seem to have been impacted much by the controversy; Volume 11 was a hit upon release, making it to #3 top-selling novels for the month on BookWalker, while an in-person event featuring artwork from throughout the series had lines forming outside the venue. The mobile game is still going strong 3 years into its release, when most other anime/mobile game tie-ins last a year at most.

* AscendedFanon: In an interesting case, the author liked various pieces of fanfiction/ideas from his fans and incorporated them into the series. Examples include much of D.D.D's background information along with guild member Alakshmi from the fanfiction ''D.D.D Diaries'' (who made a cameo appearance in episode 20 of the anime) and the names of the members of the Debauchery Tea Party.
** A notable example is the fanfic '''D.D.D. Diaries''', which details the command structure of the eponymous guild, as well as its personalities, such as the female assassin in the skimpy outfit that appears to the right of Krusty during the assault on the Goblin General. Who also happens to be a Main/{{GIRL}}. In fact, every member of DDD introduced aside from Krusty and Takayama Misa are from this fan fic.
** Hien comes from a fan fic, and was then added into the ''Honey Moon Logs'' Crescent Moon manga retelling. Most of Crescent Moon's members in the anime were originally from ''Honey Moon Logs'', just like how several members of the West Wind Brigade were from their guild's spin-off manga.
** Aside from the nine members who were trapped in the Catastrophe, most of the Debauchery Tea Party's members' names and descriptions came from a fan book (although the members were revealed after an interview with Mamare, so they may very well have been written by Mamare to begin with).
** An excellent example of this would be [[http://i.imgur.com/rmzrha4.jpg the players who joined Akatsuki]] in the anime [[spoiler:taking down the Akiba murderer]]. Anyone who wasn't Akatsuki, Raynesia, Mikakage, or had a manga spinoff of their own (Crescent Moon, West Wind Brigade), was either a fan fiction character (including Rieze, Tatara, and the ''former D.D.D. Drei Klauen member'' Kushi Yatama) or a transplant from another part of the franchise (Seine, who's a character in the Log Horizon REPLAY books, and Endou Akiba from the tabletop RPG).
