The writer relies too much on inserted fanon and original situations to get his points across, Saito doesn't come across as a realistic Army Brat at all, but a Saito In-Name-Only given extra skills and abilities so he can put Louise and the entire setting in their places.
Biggest piece of fanon? The Familiar Runes making him forget about his life on Earth because of brainwashing. Among the many series analysis done on Spacebattles are clear that only the animal and magical beast runes do any sort of brainwashing, while the Void Familiar runes only suppress any feelings of homesickness. It also completely ignores why Louise is the way she is just to get back at a character that is a well known Scrappy at first instance, never mind that she's one of the biggest Jerkass Woobies in anime and manga.
Also, while Saito does have dreams in the light novels that for some reason place people in Halk with people he might have known in the past, they are just that, strange dreams that he's having. He even has dreams of Tabitha dressed as a flight attendant, acting mean towards him and accusing him of having a Tsundere fetish and that he does enjoy when Louise whips him. His dreams are WEIRD.
A deconstruction gone totally wrong.
