History YMMV / AssassinsPride

* IdiotPlot: In a world that is revealed later on to be advanced enough to have ''successful'' genetic engineering of {{Half Human Hybrid}}s, no one in Melida's family ever suggested simply doing a ''paternity test'' to confirm her lineage, resulting in the need to hire Kufa Vampir instead of a normal tutor and the rest of the plot. Presumably, her grandfather would rather she be mysteriously killed than confirmed to be illegitimate. [[spoiler: Although it makes a ''lot'' more sense when you learn the heavy implication that the reason why is because noble families like hers would rather her be killed than be publicly known as born powerless or inheriting a "common" class to their respective families.]]

* {{Narm}}: All over the place. Aside from the ham-fisted character names (Vampyr? Angel?), there's a stand-out example in the first episode, when Melida is harrassed by Pumpkin-Heads. One of them threatens to cut her hair, and she tearfully begs it not to, because it's the only thing she has to remember her mom by (both were blondes). Aside from the fact that that the Pumpkin-Head has no real reason to target Melida's hair like this, and Melida pleading with a monster that can't talk, the implication that Melida will forget about her mother if her hair is cut over looks two prominent facts: 1. The Pumpkin-Head was seemingly only taking off a few inches. 2. Hair ''grows back''. The emotional sincerity the scene is delivered with just makes it all the funnier.

* SoBadItsGood: This work is pretty much the culmination of every trope in the {{Chuunibyou}} and FantasticRomance genre ran UpToEleven for guys and girls respectively. Not that it stops people from actually enjoying it for playing them straight.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The background setting itself. A CrapsackWorld where it's AlwaysNight and humanity has to live in a giant tree which houses various lamps containing their {{Small Secluded World}}s. A lingering corruption lies beyond the tree that turns its victims ranging from {{Monster Clown}}s to vampires. This would be a legitimately good GothicHorror series, right? Nope. The series mainly focuses on adventures in a WizardingSchool and political conspiracies with occasional breaks to show several girls fighting over the main character. In other words, plotlines with only the thinnest connection to the GothicHorror setting. Considering how most of the main characters are expected to fight the corruption for the sake of humanity's continued existence, time will tell if this plot element will be properly utilized in the future.

Not that it stops people from actually enjoying it for playing them straight. Some people even consider this the equivalent of being written by the author of ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' while being greenlit for television.

* MoralEventHorizon: The nobility of Assassin's Pride relentlessly persecutes and hounds on Melida, to the point of nearly ruining her life, either refusing to believe she can actually use mana or use her for their own selfish agenda. After this, no one will feel sorry when Kufa kicks their rears.

Let's mainly focus on a totally-not bad self-insert who spends most of his time getting chased by adolescent girls.
