History YMMV / FantasiaTimes

** It's pretty apparent that [[spoiler:Finn's FaceHeelTurn]] only happened because [[spoiler:Sera's real-life counterpart no longer had a CelebrityCrush on him]].

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The {{Designated Hero}}es have an alarming tendency to act like {{Psychopathic Manchild}}ren, enact DisproportionateRetribution on anyone who opposes them, whine every other paragraph, and generally [[IdiotBall act like idiots]] so that many of the plots can happen; and yet they always come out on top while the narrator shills them to hell and back (especially the {{Original Character}}s). The antagonists they face usually don't have a personality beyond "wants to take over Fantasia and/or do (insert awful thing here) to the heroes", and they ''always'' lose, usually with the tension being killed long beforehand. Between all of this and the repetitive writing style the series uses, the readers would be forgiven for not wanting to care about anything in the series.

* DesignatedHero: Andi, and by extension anyone who sides with her, is clearly meant to be seen as the TeamMom who looks out for her friends and is a benevolent ruler to her subjects. Instead, she's a hypocritical PsychopathicWomanchild who flips her lid any time someone questions her decisions and will automatically assume that her friends are insulting her behind her back [[AesopAmnesia even after she's repeatedly told that they don't]]. She's also downright [[FantasticRacism racist]] at some points and will relentlessly bully a group of characters [[SinsOfTheFather because of who their parents are]] before then making ''them'' apologize for being mean to ''her.''

* StrangledByTheRedString: Sera and Finn, who share one dance and are suddenly destined to be together. [[spoiler:And then Finn betrays Sera, leaving her free for Rob Manion, which gets little to no build-up.]]

** [[spoiler:Was Finn framed somehow for his betrayal, either by Lila (already a known liar) or Sera (so she could hook up with Rob without remorse)? Or did he willingly join the villains because he realized that his girlfriend and her friends were just as terrible, and figured this was the best option?]]

* FridgeHorror: So all of Andi's friends decide that [[IChooseToStay they're going to stay in Fantasia with her for the rest of their lives]]. It seems heartwarming at first until the reader realizes that most of them have responsibilities (up to and including ''running kingdoms'') that they're abandoning in favor of her -- which means they're essentially abandoning their hometowns in favor of a single person.

** [[spoiler:Finn's betrayal]] is ''ripe'' with this. [[spoiler:Was he framed somehow, either by Lila (already a known liar) or Sera (so she could hook up with Rob without remorse)? Or did he willingly join the villains because he realized that his girlfriend and her friends were just as terrible, and figured this was the best option?]]
* {{Anvilicious}}: Don't bully others, don’t stubbornly stick by tradition, everyone has the potential to be powerful, and choose your own fate. You can expect at least one of these anvils to be dropped on your head in each story, and they often turn into [[BrokenAesop Broken Aesops]] anyways.
* AssPull: [[spoiler:''Nothing'' written prior to Finn's betrayal suggested that he would do something like that. It feels like it was written in so Sera would move on with someone else.]]

* FridgeHorror: So all of Andi's friends decide that [[IChooseToStay they're going to stay in Fantasia with her for the rest of their lives]]. Heartwarming, right? Except that most of them have responsibilities (up to and including ''running kingdoms'') that they're abandoning in favor of her -- which means they're essentially abandoning their hometowns to God-knows-what in favor of a single person. And this is treated as a ''good'' thing.

** Given [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Hans']] canonical [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] traits, one can interpret him as not having actually reformed, only ''pretending'' that he has in order to reap the benefits.

* AssPull: [[spoiler:''Nothing'' written prior to Finn's betrayal suggested that he would do something like that. It feels like it was written in so Sera would be paired with someone new.]]

** It's pretty apparent that [[spoiler:Finn's FaceHeelTurn]] only happened because [[spoiler:Sera's real-life basis no longer had a CelebrityCrush on him]].

* PlatonicWritingRomanticReading: Andi and Sera are meant to be as close as sisters, but they have far more romantic chemistry with each other than they do with their love interests. Case in point, during their first meeting, Andi called Sera "pretty", causing the latter to blush.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: We know next to nothing about a number of original characters in the fic, despite several of them playing a (supposedly) important role in the main trio's lives.

* {{Padding}}: The story has a tendency to repeatedly refer to characters by their full names and titles and using constant repetition of plot points and descriptions.
