YMMV / Monster Blood II

• Base-Breaking Character: Andy can qualify, as there are those who love her colorful Pint-Sized Powerhouse personality and Deadpan Snarker traits and think she makes a much better contrast to the endlessly wangsty Evan, to those who criticize her for making equally stupid, if not more so, decisions as Evan (mainly that she keeps bringing the Monster Blood back and often using it behind Evan's back despite knowing how badly everything always turns out whenever it's used) that are often glossed over by her fans and has largely ascended to massive popularity due to Reviews Are the Gospel. That and she is liked all around in the first book and some just ignore her problems in the sequels.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: There's the dream sequences in the beginning of the book. While the story does deal with the titular slime, the nightmares Evan gets of them are by no means germane to the actual plot point.
• Designated Hero: Evan and Andy repeatably use monster blood to get revenge on his enemies, despite knowing full well how dangerous the stuff is.
• Ho Yay: Evan shows some mild Ho Yay towards Conan, especially since he more than once comments on Conan's attractiveness even while simultaneously fuming at his Karma Houdini bullying.
• Mis-blamed: Many fans of the series constantly blame Evan for continuously using the Monster Blood on his tormentors despite knowing how dangerous it is when in reality, Andy is the one who always suggests it. What's more, is that she's the one who keeps bringing it back and even used it to feed the class hamster some right behind Evan's back in the second MB book all for the sake of a good laugh. Yet Andy remains one of the most popular characters of the series while Evan is the one who takes all the criticism for the plight.
• Ron the Death Eater: Evan gets this treatment, but more with the fandom's general attitude towards him instead of his portrayal in fanfiction. Fans often unfairly blame him for constantly attempting to acquire and use the Monster Blood to get revenge when it’s actually Andy who does so, and the only time he agrees is in the third book when his horrible cousin does something very similar to him by tricking him into consuming something that had an unwanted effect on him. Fans also complain about him being whiny while seemingly forgetting how horrible his life is, and tend to gloss over his heroism in the second book.
• The Scrappy: Even those who liked Evan in the first book found themselves hating him here, as they are more annoying by his whining and even day dreaming about harming a hamster.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Evan is portrayed as a social outcast who is promptly spurned by the other kids and receives punishment by his science teacher. Problem is he loses every ounce of sympathy from the readers since the reason he was even ostracized in the first place was because he was dumb enough to tell everyone else about the Monster Blood he bought at the toy store, believing anyone would believe him and he would get popularity for it, despite the fact that it gives him nightmares. To top it off, the reason he was punished in the first place is because he was daydreaming in class about the stuff. It makes him come across as a complete moron, and along with his querulous attitude, it really isn't a wonder why he is a loser to begin with.
