YMMV / Incarnation of Legends

• Adorkable: Bell is still the same as ever, a girl-chasing, easily embarrassed, and dorkily polite young man with big dreams and the Farm Boy naivete to go with it. People in and out of story adore his cuteness.
• Broken Base:
  • The borderline Story-Breaker Power of most of the Servants-turned-Adventurers has been a point of contention, as it completely overturns Orario's reputation as an untouchable city filled with the strongest adventurers. Not only that, but the sheer speed with which the Servants have reached those heights is also alarming, as the only people who come close either have an extreme Meta Power Up like Bell or are geniuses who have fought both the strongest adventurers and the Dungeon's most fearsome monsters. The idea that the Servants can reach this power without access to the Dungeon stretches the story's rules, though the author explains that their lifetimes of accomplishments would accelerate their growth rate similarly to Bell's.
  • Numerous things staying the same despite the numerous changes to the plot, such as Bell getting Firebolt, being attacked by a minotaur, and joining the Hestia Familia, have been met with mixed reception. Some don't mind them, noting the other changes to the plot such as Haruhime joining as a Bare-Fisted Monk rather than a Support Party Member, but others would have preferred more drastic changes to the plot.
• Fridge Brilliance:
  • Looking at it closely, it makes sense why Bell is able to get Kojiro to at least slightly change his ways when Ritsuka Fujimaru couldn't. First of all, he's incarnated here, while he was a Servant with Chaldea. A Servant is a temporary existence, so there wouldn't be any incentive in changing. On the other hand, as an incarnated human, he is a part of the living, meaning he can change the world and it can change him. Secondly, Ritsuka is able to befriend basically every Servant he summons. He accepts who they are and what they are like, and they work together to save humanity. Here, Kojiro isn't looked at as just a friend, but a Hero for Bell to emulate and look up to. Kojiro's relationship with Ritsuka was more like between equals with mutual respect, while his relationship with Bell is as a role model and teacher, so he feels he has more to live up to.
  • One poster explains why Bell and Artoria both having excelia boosting skills makes sense.
  • One poster points out all the clues that shows that the Night Queen summoned almost all of the Avenger class Servants.
