* AuthorsSavingThrow: [[spoiler: Revealing Ymir Fritz was manipulating Dillon and having him quickly figure out the situation after his capture, went a long way towards giving Dillon back some autonomy after having been a PinballProtagonist. The story previews for his return also seem to indicate he'll get his act together and TookALevelInBadass while escaping from Marley.]]

* ArcFatigue: Dillon's character arc of learning to live with himself and his girlfriend Annie, has been criticized for constantly being reset with every new trauma that gets piled on him. This is in addition to canon storylines taking much longer than necessary due to a slow update cycle. [[spoiler: The plotline ends when Annie breaks up with him.]]



* BrokenBase: The characterization of Levi and Zoe Hange, something the author fully expected to warrant an entry. Are they being unreasonable and irrational towards Dillon or are they reacting as any military official would in a tense situation? [[spoiler: Muddling it is the fact that Levi seems to have a JerkassRealization and gives the remaining members of the 104th a chance to leave after he's released from jail.]]

* AngstAversion: The ''SHEER'' amount of trauma that Dillon goes through across can be wearying to read. The author acknowledges this in a note and admits its gotten annoying to write.
* JerkassWoobie: Dilon lashes out, is prone to self-pity, and makes poor decisions, but the amount of crap that life throws at him makes him pitiable.

->''"There are things about you I don't know, Mikasa. For all I know, the woman standing in front of me isn't the woman that really exists. A long con for a dark purpose. Hell, the same could be said for me. You don't know everything about me. I could be working with Annie to kill every single one of you, but perhaps unwillingly." taps head. "In here, a phrase that could bend me to the will of others. This life I live may not even be my life. A fabrication to hide the horrible truth that lurks within. And with my powers...So much I could do. Break bones without a single touch, busting capillaries with a glance, carving out every single memory at my whim. Perhaps it is better for you to kill me. You'd be a hero."''
* TookALevelInJerkass: As the story progresses, Dillon becomes more angry with a short fuse attached, snapping at his friends and Annie if they manage to piss him off (snide comments at best and rage-induced outbursts at worst), and even becomes willing to torture a prisoner the Scouts capture. Considering all the crap he's gone through, it's no wonder why he's become this way.

* ParanoiaFuel: With his girlfriend being the Female Titan and his parents not being the people he thought they were, Dillon starts questioning everything. His speech to Mikasa when she goes to talk to him is just the right amount of disturbing.
