** Another part of this is the pacing of the story: Blake gets hurt... and hurt... and hurt... and hurt... and never has any time for meaningful rest and recuperation. Bad things just keep happening to him, ''constantly'', with almost no downtime. Wildbow did take this criticism to heart, and in subsequent stories has made sure to include periods of lighter content and opportunities for characters to rest up a bit.

** Part of this is that there are many fewer sympathetic characters total. Worm made most of the heroes and Undersiders reasonably sympathetic early on; but Pact takes a long time just to introduce Blake's friends, and when they do their role remains fairly minor overall. The only unquestionably sympathetic main character for much of the early story is Evan, who takes a fairly long time to appear.

* CompleteMonster: [[YourSoulIsMine The Hyena]] is a [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent monstrous goblin]] that has left a trail of destruction in its wake since before the New World was settled. So vicious and {{sadist}}ic that it is likened to a demon, the Hyena's signature is to maul its victims but only half-devour them, leaving hundreds of Others and the ghosts of its human victims in [[AndIMustScream mutilated states]] that cause them to lash out in pain at anyone and everything around them. Taking its ruined slaves with it wherever it decides to hunt, the Hyena's latest haunt in Toronto leads to it chasing Evan Matthieu until the boy dies of exposure, with the goblin taking glee in forever continuing the torment with his ghost.

** The elder Rose has become known as "Darth Granny" for setting up two heirs to die during the course of her ThanatosGambit.
** Leonard is known as LIAB, short for "Leonard In A Bottle"
** When Evan became a familiar to Blake, he got a bird form. Cue the fans dubbing him "[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Evan the Boy Wonder.]]"

** After Maggie [[spoiler:loses her name to Padraic]], she's referred to as Scarf Girl.
