These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: IM Meen
Nightmare Fuel - Being an Edutainment game, Meen would be pretty scary if you were 6 or so.
The sequel, Chill manor has some really surprising moments, like some pictures suddenly coming alive after you grab an important item. Not to mention that if you lose, Ophelia Chill uses the book of ages to erase you from history.
Excuse Plot - arguably. Meen is annoyed with little bookworms who study too much and traps them inside a book. What were the bookworms doing there, why does Mr. Meen hate them so? Mystery.
According to the scrolls found around the levels, Meen hates smart children because they scare less easily. A reason odd enough that it still counts as an excuse plot.
I always figured that he hates smart kids because he's jealous of their knowledge, and locks them away because he doesn't want them to grow up and become more successful than him. I know a lot of people like that in real life.
My guess was because of past traumas as a librarian. He was forced to endure Insufferable Geniuses who...just look at the WMG related to this statement.
Goddamned Bats - The spiders. They appear throughout the game, move and attack quickly, and often attack in groups.
Memetic Molester - Meen, despite his clear hatred of children, is often seen as a pedophile, mostly because of how he kidnaps them. Gnorris sometimes gets the same treatment.
