* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The mere fact that this novel has Nazis as its villains as well as someone as infamous as UsefulNotes/ReinhardHeydrich as its main BigBad, and that these same Nazis are given quite a lot of character and humanizaton to the point that some ''aren't even portrayed as evil'' (in a work of fiction made by the ''Japanese'', no less), is enough for it to be a turn-off for many. This was even lampshaded by one of the producers in a Crunchyroll interview, who justified it as an artistic, not political, decision.

* NarmCharm: The novel is often considered ''the'' most unapologetically [[{{Chuunibyou}} chunni]] visual novel out there. And with its extensive prose and ridiculous premise it would be considered unbearably cheesy if it wasn't for the fact that it is so unabashedly honest with itself. In addition, its mixture of fantastic music, strong character writing and general RuleOfCool mentality helps make what could have been a cliche ridden bore into something genuinely engaging and entertaining.
