YMMV / Wise Man's Grandchild

• Cliché Storm: While there is plenty of widespread Reincarnate in Another World light novel patterns, the series does tamper with them in a few unusual ways: the rise of a demonic nation is a grim Plot Twist rather than an already existing antagonistic force from the get-go, while the main protagonist is more of an Affectionate Parody of the overpowered light novel protagonist, and his friends later do manage to gain huge amounts of power as well, though still not to Shin's level. The main cast of True Companions is gender-balanced rather than a harem like normal, and there is only one girl interested in the main character, who he later begins a relationship with. Also, while a Beta Couple is usually a rarity in this kind of LNs, the series goes out of its way to set up a number of secondary couples, which makes the overall dynamics between the characters slightly different than in most LNs.
• Memetic Mutation: How utterly cliched.^Explanation Shin's reaction after seeing Sicily and Maria being harassed by some demon hunters. This phrase has been used by some people to describe the entire series in a nutshell.
• Rooting for the Empire: The backstories of Strohm and some of his underlings (specifically Zest and his squad who are Adapted Out of the anime) has made some people more interested in them than the heroes.
