* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The LighterAndSofter tone clashing with the DarkerAndEdgier half-human, half-orc hasn't brought a whole lot of the audience joy, often due to the [[{{Anvilicious}} allegorical nature]] that tries to get sandwiched in between--even when RuleOfPerception has already been at play for longer periods of time.

** DarkerAndEdgier: however, the story does tend to veer into this area in places. Most notably in [[spoiler:exploring how exactly does Saruman create the [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human, half-orc]] Uruk-Hai; see {{Squick}} below.]]
* RootingForTheEmpire: The Company™ and its members are arrogant, greedy, ruthless and do a lot of KickTheDog things but most if not all readers still consider them not being villain or at least very dark Anti-Hero (some readers even asked the writer to make them act ''more'' like real evil!). But considering the fact that those who oppose The Company™ are either homicidal or even worse, and given the fact that the Company™ did introduce a lot of positive technological and social progress to the local, it's not hard to see why.
