* WriteWhoYouKnow: Nav draws on several of the author's own experiences. ''Hopefully'' not too many...

* JerkassWoobie Nav. While it is true he has been thrown into a world he'll never completely fit in with due to his past self pissing off Discord, and has been tortured, raped, lied to, used as a pawn and even those he calls his closest friends have a habit of letting him down. And like the princesses, he also lives to see everything he's ever known destroyed by Discord. However. There is one thing that everyone, even the readers seem to forget: '''The guy is practically a''' '''HateSink.''' He's a {{Hypocrite}}, a {{Jerkass}}, he's racist ''and'' sexist, stubborn to a fault, he kills and tortures for little to no reason, he ''never'' learns from his mistakes, and he refuses to accept any attempts to get him to change.



** Nav. Thrown into a world he'll never completely fit in with due to his past self pissing off Discord, the guy ends up tortured, raped, lied to, and used as a pawn.

* GrowingTheBeard: The story really starts to hit its stride about 32 Chapters in. The author himself agrees that the story gets much better later on, and viewed the [[OldShame first 12 chapters]] as so bad that they underwent a complete rewrite.
