History YMMV / Arawn

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: It may be hard as it is to get invested given the ForegoneConclusion, but this trope comes into play due the fact that the story is ''extremely bleak'' and none of the characters come out clean including characters like Siahm who have the best intentions, but end up make things so much worse for everyone else.

* {{Narm}}: The English translations are very ''shoddy'' and some of the dialogue and narration comes across as very stiff and reaching YouNoTakeCandle territory, which ruins any epic or sad moment. The final volume managed to avert this.

* AwesomeArt: Even though this story may not be for everyone to enjoy, the artwork made by Sebastian Garnier is simply phenomenal.

* MomentOfAwesome:
** When the Cauldron of Blood turns the battle in Arawn's favor by unleashing an army of fiery Cauldron-born. And '''its epic!!'''
** Owen being the one to [[spoiler:''destroy the Cauldron''.]]

** [[spoiler:Engus in his "divine" form also qualifies, despite him being a abhorrent bastard]].

* MagnificentBastard: The Cauldron of Blood turns all side against the middle and themselves, seducing Arawn and his brothers with ultimate power and godhood, only to betray them when its convenient. But what really makes him qualify is that despite his blatantly treasonous nature, nobody so far figured out he is the real threat or done anything to stop him, as he plays everyone like a fiddle. [[spoiler:With that said, the moment someone (Owen) realizes the danger he represents and decides to do something about it, the Cauldron's demise was imminent.]]

* {{Anticlimax}}:
** [[spoiler:Math is built up as Arawn's ArchEnemy, having played a huge hand in the bed events that turned his brother in the Death-Lord he is now. However, Math dies on Volume 5 in the most pathetic way possible: a broken shell of his former self on his throne, struck down by his own mother rather than Arawn]].
** [[spoiler:Engus]] after becoming a god and leading a destructive campaign of conquest upon the land. He goes down without a fight or any epic confrontation, being merely confronted in his room, dragged before his army and decapitated without ceremony.

** Arawn, in his DarkLord form at least.

* EvilIsCool: Arawn, in his DarkLord form at least. [[spoiler:Engus in his "divine" form also qualifies, despite him being a abhorrent bastard]].

** Its debatable ''where'' Math crossed it, rather than ''if:'' killing Arawn's wolf Sohrja, [[WouldHurtAChild murdering his royal predecessor's children]] to prevent any future rebellions, [[IHaveYourWife kidnapping Arawn's wife and holding her hostage for the Cauldron]], turning her into his SexSlave or [[spoiler:killing her son with Arawn]].
