YMMV / The Nobody of Ever After High

• Ass Pull: The absence of Aqua from Twist In Time is never explained. Instead, Ven is the main Birth By Sleep character who is even mentioned, yet nothing of Aqua or Terra.
• Broken Base:
  • Some fans when reading the Story felt that signature scenes were Adapted Out, with one complaint in particular for Twist In Time was that the window scene was cut out.
  • There is also the fact that Dexter asking Raven out in front of Cupid was kept in, though it is justified when it was needed to bring Riku as the new love interest of Cupid.
  • The inclusion of Miraculous Ladybug was not well-received at first, though opinions changed once the chapter came out.
  • Many felt inclusion of Happily Never After, a very poorly received franchise, was a bad idea, while others thought that the inclusion might be a interesting chance to improve on them. When the chapter came out, some fans enjoyed that it was an extended Take That! to the films, while others thought the joke went on too long and was unpleasant and mean-spirited.
  • The Harem. While many fans enjoy the romantic antics between Roxas and the girls and enjoy when a new member is added, others feel that the harem distracts from the story and that the harem itself has grown far to big.
  • A few fans think the story itself has gone on for too long, with many of the worlds visited ultimately coming across as filler and not a lot happening plot wise.
• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • In Chapter 86, Roxas believes that Holly likes him. Awkward? Yes. Poppy, the first to kiss Roxas and 1/8th of the Harem, and Farrah, one of the new additions, attacking her? Hilarious.
  • In the same chapter, Crystal reveals her crush on Roxas, saying he is the fire to her ice, and Cerise and Amora, a teacher, tackle her.
• Epileptic Trees:
  • The fact that this Story seems to derail from some of the downsides of the Kingdom Hearts III game seems strong now that the main cast of the main games are students of Ever After High, and with there being new vessels, anything looks possible.
• Harsher in Hindsight: For Chapter 40, a dark version of Rapunzel's Incantation was used by Mother Gothel to give herself dark powers. A year later for Tangled: The Series, around the same release date, an even darker rendition, the Hurt Incantation, was made, putting the story's one to shame.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Namine being able to use a Keyblade was first used in Dead Fantasy. Here, she is officially one.
  • The promotional images for the Keyblades for Kingdom Hearts III included a Tangled Keyblade with the tower as the blade and the Corona Sun as the teeth. The Story version has the same design for the blade and teeth, but different designs for the rest of the Blade.
    • To add to that, the game Keyblade is known as Ever After. An Ever After High Keyblade later introduced was titled Forever After.
  • The addition of Crystal Winter into the harem for Roxas came out just a week before the trailer for Frozen II.
  • The Corona Chapter involved several elements that were absent from the movie, such as the fact that Eugene never dies. An episode of Tangled: The Series involves what would have happened if Rapunzel's hair never grew back.
  • A poll for additional girls to add to Roxas's harem included Ahsoka Tano. Two months after it closed, a new Story known as The Keyblade Jedi was published, showing Ahsoka as a friend to Roxas.
    • Then the story was taken down a few months afterward.
  • Lea's Keyblade was named Flaming Memory shortly before official sources labeled it as Flame Liberator.
  • In 358/2 Days, a joke weapon for Roxas and Xion was an umbrella in place of a Keyblade. In the Story, Mary Poppins was introduced, leaving open a possibility of a Keyblade with an umbrella on it.
  • The "That's a stick" meme from 358/2 Days is shown, not said for word, but the fact that both Namine and Ashlynn started out with sticks as weapons that eventually became their Keyblades.
  • The Brave Keyblade, Strength of 10 Men, was also the name for a custom Brave Keyblade a few year before the Story was made.
  • The World for The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea was followed after by the World for Leroy & Stitch. About a year after, a story crossing over with The Little Mermaid and Lilo & Stitch was created.
  • Chapter 123 focused on Crystal and Roxas. A few days after, on Christmas Day, Author, co-author to the story and artist SuperHeroTimeFan designed a new picture of Crystal.
• Memetic Mutation: The scenes of Poppy and Farrah attacking Holly for thinking she was trying to flirt with Roxas and Cerise and Amora attacking Crystal have made people wonder if they got detention or any kind of punishment for the assault.
• Moral Event Horizon: EAH!Snow White crosses it once she labels Roxas a criminal, all because she felt Roxas was taking away everything special about her, and leads to the Near-Villain Victory of Organization XIII over Ever After High.
• No Yay: Many fans feel that, as a teacher, Amora is in no position to be in a relationship with Roxas.
• Padding The fic often includes musical numbers. Unfortunately, this often means that the lyrics to the song are just copy and pasted into the fic, and then the fic continues. While tenuously connect to the story, the song sequences add pretty much nothing and are easily skipped. Also, songs that were originally more visual, such as A Cover Is Not The Book, lose all of their charm when read like this, especially since the story doesn't explain what's gong on during the song at all.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Some unpopular characters were made better in the Story:
  • Ashlynn becoming a Keyblade Wielder has gained attention, the same with Alistair as well.
  • The O'Hair twins being more involved and being homages to the Tangled Rapunzel have been popular.
• Romantic Plot Tumor: Several fans have felt that Roxas's harem has overstayed it's welcome. Many feel that the romantic antics of the girls have grown stale, and that the harem itself has grown ridiculously large.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Not every change to the story of EAH has been well received. The most notable is during the climax of Dragon Games, where it is Roxas who wakes Apple up and is her Prince Charming, instead of Darling, as was implied in the show itself. Darling herself being unambiguously part of Roxas's harem is not a popular change with EAH's large LGBT Fanbase, who enjoy that Darling is clearly not straight.
  • Though it ends up in the crossover "Twilight Transformation" that Darling is bi. She just fell for Roxas instead.
• Unexpected Character:
  • The appearance of Kefka as an Org. XIII Member in Hotel Transylvania never came to anyone, nor did they expect him to take over the events of the film.
  • Krampus for the Halloween Town World.
  • Perry the Platypus showing up in Fiore was a surprise no one saw coming at all.
    • Same with Phineas and Ferb themselves.
  • At first they were only used as names in Chapter 61, but forty chapters later, the Nobodies of EAH Students was a complete surprise.
  • Who could have seen that for Camelot that Firion would appear, or that Ruber would survive?
