** Harpy attacking Lily after Lily says Harpy would be better off dead [[spoiler: without her magic]] led to some arguing in the comments. Some fans were glad Harpy jumped her, others claimed violence is never the answer, and a third group TookAThirdOption by saying that though Harpy didn't make the best choice, she's still just a child and cannot be held to such standards. The divide between the first two options worsened a bit with the reveal that [[spoiler: Pumpkin really did eat Lila's doll.]] Becomes a moot point the next time we see Lily and Lila because they and Harpy have long since worked past the rocky first meeting and the two princesses are now as close to Harpy as if they were her sisters.

the only time I've ever wanted to write "these people are idiots" when documenting fan whininess.


** Chapter 4 ended up being a much longer and more drawn out chapter due to issues outside the creator's control and ironically related to the production of the pilot short for a potential ''Harpy Gee'' animated series. One of those issues led to major plot points being held back in case they would be needed for the show. This led to some readers getting very upset about the pacing when the comic was on its usual weekly release schedule. However, many other readers didn't notice a problem and appreciated the chapter spending more time on character development - and readers that came to the comic after the chapter had concluded and were able to read it all at once didn't tend to notice anything off at all.
** Given the length of time between Chapter 4 and the proper continuation of the storyline, "Dough See Dough" led to some readers complaining about the story returning with essentially a light-hearted side-story, to the point that Brianne chose to take another several month hiatus at the end to plan out a tighter Chapter 5. In the comments for that announcement are ''many'' readers that were surprised to hear about complaints and actually appreciated the short arc and especially the small developments for Harpy and Humphrey's relationship.
