History YMMV / LamentoBeyondTheVoid

** Despite being the villain of the game, Leaks is nevertheless loved by the fandom for both his character design and his backstory. He's even widely agreed to be the best villain in the Nitro+[=CHiRAL=] franchise. While ''VisualNovel/SlowDamage'' (which came 15 years after ''Lamento's'' release) eventually introduced [[spoiler:Maya]], who is touted by many to be Nitro+[=CHiRAL=]'s most terrifying and effective villain, Leaks is well-liked even by then and he himself is still regarded as the most ''sympathetic'' villain who is also both developed and written well.

* BrokenBase: While not a very heated topic, there's still some who question whose is the true route of the story: Bardo's or Rai's (while Asato is well-loved by the fans, his route leaves a lot of questions unanswered, and Rai and Bardo's routes have a much more complete plot resolution). Some argue that Rai's route is longer in terms of content, with his relationship with Konoe being more explored and advertised, and Rai himself has the largest fanbase among the three; the other half argues that Bardo's route has a much more concise storyline, ''everyone's'' issues are resolved by the end, and it's not like his relationship with Konoe lacks any substantial development. On the other hand, Rai's route is the easiest to get and functions as a default of sorts, which is rarely the case for a "true route" (compare with ''VisualNovel/TogainuNoChi'', where the true route is the last to unlock). That aside, the complete epilogue with the full story of Leaks and Shui plays after getting all three good endings, no matter the order. So it's more likely that no "true ending" was intended in the first place.

** While all four of the devils are well-liked by the fandom, Kaltz is easily the most popular for being the TokenGoodTeammate, his design and personality, and [[spoiler: being Asato's long-lost father]].

** Froud and Verg count to an extent, considering the abuse they suffered which led them to becoming devils in the first place. Of course, that doesn't justify the horrible things they do in the present.

* ToughActToFollow: ''VisualNovel/SweetPool'' and ''[[VisualNovel/DramaticalMurder DRAMAtical Murder]]'' are by no means subpar visual novels, with the latter being [[CashCowFranchise extremely]] [[SleeperHit successful]] that it spawned a sequel, an animated adaptation (plus an OVA), a PolishedPort, several drama [=CDs=], short stories, a wide array of soundtracks, and various merchandises. However, there are some fans who believe that the following games that [[Creator/{{Nitroplus}} Nitro+CHiRAL]] created or will create after ''Lamento'' will always be somewhat inferior in terms of overall quality, especially when it comes to the writing.
