History YMMV / LamentoBeyondTheVoid

** Leaks, by a ''huge'' margin, despite being the villain of the game.

** Froud and Verg count, considering how they became devils in the first place.

* HilariousInHindsight: While understandable, the words "osu" and "mesu" are mentioned a lot in the game. Then comes ''VisualNovel/SweetPool'', where both words take a whole new meaning...

* ToughActToFollow: ''VisualNovel/SweetPool'' and ''[[VisualNovel/DramaticalMurder DRAMAtical Murder]]'' are ''by no means'' sub-par visual novels, with the latter being [[CashCowFranchise extremely]] [[SleeperHit successful]] that it has 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, particularly when it comes to the plot.

* AmericansHateTingle: Not exactly 'hated' per se, but many western fans do not think very highly of [[https://vndb.org/s222 Shimokura Vio]] (writer of ''Sumaga'', ''Steins;Gate'', ''Axanael''), due to his writing style.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: All of their works has this, coupled with SugarWiki/AwesomeArt.
* BrokenBase: Mostly in the western fanbase.
** Back then, western fans were divided over Sumaga, due to its' LighterAndSofter themes, aesthetics, and the writing style, which is completely different from Nitro+'s other titles.
** Happened again when Totono was first announced, although the WolverinePublicity of the [[Main/{{Yandere}} darker moments]] quickly lessened this.
** This also happened to ''VisualNovel/DramaticalMurder'' when it was first announced. Some western fans were divided over the cheery art style and aesthetics. This has since died down, after the fact that it is [[Main/CerebusSyndrome still as deep and dark]] as Chiral's other games.
** The decision of JAST USA localizing their titles. Though the reason is pretty [[Main/DevelopmentHell reasonable]].
* CreatorWorship: Creator/GenUrobuchi, obviously. So much that their online store included a section of goods from his works.
* CultClassic: Their visual novels are this among the western fanbase. The [[YaoiGenre Chiral]] titles are also this among the whole Yaoi fanbase.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: ''VisualNovel/SayaNoUta'' and ''VisualNovel/SweetPool'' are much loved in the west.
* GrowingTheBeard: In Japan, ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'' did this to them.
* ItWasHisSled: Everything about [[Main/{{Metafiction}} Totono]] is now a common knowledge among the fanbase.
* {{Moe}}: ''Anime/SuperSonico'', though some of their works has this trope in use.
** Any chibi drawn by Yuupon and [[https://twitter.com/minouaki minoa]]
* PeripheryDemographic: Their works are enjoyed by many kinds of audiences.
** The Chiral titles are enjoyed by non-BL Fans, as they are aesthetically and thematically different and don't have many examples of basic BoysLoveTropes; which, even if used, are played with and deconstructed to the extreme.
* PolishedPort: The console ports. Special mention goes to ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'' which had character voices added, ''VisualNovel/DramaticalMurder'' for the [[Main/EnsembleDarkhorse long-awaited Mizuki route]], and ''[[Anime/SuperSonico [=SoniComi=]]]'' for the better graphics and bonus contents.
* ToughActToFollow: Some people in the western fanbase think that Nitro+ won't create something epic as ''Muramasa'' ever again.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: It's left ambiguous just what kind of love [[spoiler: Leaks]] felt for [[spoiler: Shui]]. Are his feelings romantic, or only platonic but nevertheless deep?
* BrokenBase: While not a very heated topic, there's some who still question which is the true route of the story: Bardo's or Rai's (while Asato is well-beloved by the fans, his route has left a lot of questions unanswered, and Rai and Bardo's routes have a much more complete plot resolution). Some argue that while Rai's route is longer in terms of content, with his relationship with Konoe being the more explored and advertised; Bardo's route has a much more concise storyline, [[spoiler: Leaks and Shui's backstory]] is shown with the most detail here, ''everyone's'' issues are resolved by the end, and it's not like his relationship with Konoe lacks any substantial development.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The whole [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKCCvSyaSd0 soundtrack]]. [[AwesomeMusic/LamentoBeyondTheVoid It even has a list now]].
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler: Froud's bad ending involves Konoe being brutally raped by him, with Konoe completely helpless to fight back. And while being violated, he sees Rai watching him in horror, albeit the latter is unable to do anything since he's pinned down by blades.]] Now [[Manga/{{Berserk}} where did this happen again]]?
* DracoInLeatherPants:
** All the four devils. [[EvilIsSexy Is anyone even surprised?]]
** [[CreepyTwins Ul and Kil]] also count.
** Leaks, by a ''huge'' margin, despite being the villain of the game.
* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Tokino is essentially only a side character, yet is adored by many fans.
** Kagari is loved by fans due to being an ActionGirl, a female character who doesn't exist to get in the way of a romantic relationship, and one of the very few people who cares for Asato.
** [[spoiler:Shui]] is widely popular, particularly due to [[spoiler: his relationship with Leaks, and being Konoe's father]]. Not to mention, his kind, gentle, friendly and {{Adorkable}} personality immediately warmed himself up to everyone who played the game.
** Bojyo ([[AllThereInTheManual the shaman]]) is also somewhat of a fan favorite.
* FanPreferredCouple: There is a very sensitive war going on until today about who is Konoe's best choice as his partner. Considering he has three options it's not an easy discussion, but Rai seems to be the favorite of the majority.
* FoeYay: Most prominent between Rai and Asato, with Kaltz and Verg coming second.
* HilariousInHindsight: While understandable, the words "osu" and "mesu" are mentioned a lot in the game. Then comes ''VisualNovel/SweetPool'', where both words take a whole new meaning...
* JerkassWoobie:
** Leaks, with a touch of WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds.
** Froud and Verg count, considering how they became devils in the first place.
* MemeticMutation: Since the release of ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'', many fans have been comparing the four devils to the emotions in said animated film (minus Fear).
* MoralEventHorizon: While Leaks is a pretty despicable guy in general, [[spoiler: using Firi's life to power himself up]] is what makes Konoe decide to never forgive him.
* PairTheSpares: Many fans like to imagine that Rai and Asato eventually got together in Bardo's route.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Any fan with a good ear might realize that they had heard Verg's voice [[Manga/JunjouRomantica somewhere else]]...

* StoicWoobie: Rai. [[spoiler: Has no fond memories to fall back on and even if he did the person who probably made them ruined it. Refused Konoe's offers to sing a lullaby for him a few times despite feeling down at the time.]]

* TheWoobie: Asato. [[spoiler: He is looked down upon as a monster by his village and has been accused of attacking the village.]]
