History YMMV / SaikyouJuzokuTensei

** [[ChildhoodFriend Filo]]. She's introduced as a ''safe'' LoveInterest for Abel in the Marren tribe, if a little {{tsundere}} and CannotSpitItOut in their interactions, is shown distraught over the news of his incoming marriage and greatly misses him after he left... Only to be DemotedToExtra, put through the wringer from the journey to bring Abel back, finally meet him, scold him and confesses that she could've helped him in the village [[ForWantOfANail had he asked]]... then Abel [[ShipSinking kindly rejects her]] in favor of [[spoiler: Mea]], and is left out of the plot, getting a small mention in the epilogue [[spoiler: for helping Abel get accepted in the village again]].

** [[ChildhoodFriend Firo]]. She's introduced as a ''safe'' LoveInterest for Abel in the Marren tribe, if a little {{tsundere}} and CannotSpitItOut in their interactions, is shown distraught over the news of his incoming marriage and greatly misses him after he left... Only to be DemotedToExtra, put through the wringer from the journey to bring Abel back, finally meet him, scold him and confesses that she could've helped him in the village [[ForWantOfANail had he asked]]... then Abel [[ShipSinking kindly rejects her]] in favor of [[spoiler: Mea]], and is left out of the plot, getting a small mention in the epilogue [[spoiler: for helping Abel get accepted in the village again]].
** Firo's pet [[CanineCompanion Loops]] deserves a mention. A close companion to Firo and is shown (in the manga at least) as friendly and accepting of Abel approaching it's master. Yet it's [[AbsentAnimalCompanion never mentioned again]] in the novel after Abel leaves the village, missing a good opportunity to include a dog to the Abel Search Party to help tracking him, or at least protect Firo.

** Abel's [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere reaction to his incoming marriage]] to his sister can be... polarizing. On one hand, he knows from his previous life of the potential risks like birth-defects (which he did try talking his father out of it, but he didn't understand), along with making Gizel grow [[NoSocialSkills attached and dependent on him]], fearing that [[ShotgunWedding his village will strong-arm him into marrying her]] (which is proven correct, when his [[ForYourOwnGood father arranged for the wedding to be after three days]]), and [[IJustWantToBeFree wanting to be free]] and out of [[HiddenElfVillage the village]]. On the other hand, Abel left [[DearJohnLetter an abrupt letter]] explaining how he'd only see his sister as a... sister and he's sorry about that, and that he'll return after he's gotten married, or Gizel gotten married instead. This could be interpreted the wrong way (and it's implied Gizel crumbled the letter and ignored its content), leading to his sister [[spoiler: turning {{Yandere}} and manipulating the village into forming a search party]].
** The issue with the letter was downplayed in the Light Novel's extra chapter "Gizel's Struggle". Where it was shown that indeed, [[spoiler: Gizel did read the letter]]!

** [[LittleSisterHeroine Gizel]] can be seen as a [[JerkassWoobie victim of the circumstances]] and her tribe's traditions, with the way her brother ran away from the ArrangedMarriage she was promised of ever since she was a child by her parents. However, it's shown that [[ItsAllAboutMe she willing to trap her brother against his wishes]] in said marriage, becomes [[SanitySlippage unhinged day after day from the anxiety]], drags her companions in the Abel search party on tiring journey, [[spoiler: is [[{{Yandere}} willing to attack and inflict near-lethal body harm]] to her brother's [[LoveInterest female companion]], in addition of being NotBrainwashed]]! Gizel's actions wouldn't have an ounce of charm [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale if the genders were reversed]] (A brother forcing himself on his sister, anyone?)

** Abel's reaction to his upcoming marriage to his sister can be.. polorizing to some. Some claim his decision to escape the village was cowardly and irresponsible, even stating that he should've instead made his stance against the marriage pretty clear, adding the fact that he [[AppealToForce could've used his magic]] and control over the smoke-leaves production to strong-arm the whole village into letting him have his way. However, this goes against Abel's [[HumbleGoal wish]] for a SlowLifeFantasy, let alone he's too much of a NiceGuy. His likability takes a dive after Volume 5 in the novel, where he ends up holding the IdiotBall in order to show that he's SkilledButNaive and can be tricked and put in danger along with Mea (after Volume 4 showed he's can be such a CrazyPrepared and ProperlyParanoid).. so [[LetsGetDangerous he could make a comeback]] and beats the villains when [[NearVillainVictory they're close to winning against him]]. This pattern ends up [[RecycledScript getting repeated]] to make Abel less of an InvincibleHero, but ends up making him suffer from ForgotAboutHisPowers and AesopAmnesia. He also has a rather weird thought process regarding [[SaveTheVillain saving some really vile people]] who tried to earnestly kill him, almost looking like he's ''[[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe fishing for an excuse]]'' to save them.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Out of all the characters who stayed in for awhile and dropped off never to be seen again, [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Maizen]] earned the manga (and the novel) readers' love because of his endearing personality and genuine kindness. There also his [[LovableCoward tendency to run from danger to protect others from it]] netting him the "JoJo Secret Technique" practitioner!

** Mea starts off as TheHeart and the traveling companion for Abel, and helps fleshing him out as a friend and helps taking care of him, takes up archery (taught by Abel) to help him adventuring, and [[BewareTheNiceOnes does have her moments to shine]]. But she's looked down into because she often become the DesignatedVictim and the DamselInDistress, when the villains has to [[DistressBall force Abel into submission]]. Abel does acknowledge early that she's an open target, yet she insists on accompanying him. She's fully aware she's a MuggleBornOfMages and CantCatchUp to threats to her and Abel, but her [[TrueCompanions insistance on supporting him through thick and thin]] is both detrimental and redeeming to her quality.

* Mea starts off as TheHeart and the traveling companion for Abel, and helps fleshing him out as a friend and helps taking care of him, takes up archery (taught by Abel) to help him adventuring, and [[BewareTheNiceOnes does have her moments to shine]]. But she's looked down into because she often become the DesignatedVictim and the DamselInDistress, when the villains has to [[DistressBall force Abel into submission]]. Abel does acknowledge early that she's an open target, yet she insists on accompanying him. She's fully aware she's a MuggleBornOfMages and CantCatchUp to threats to her and Abel, but her [[TrueCompanions insistance on supporting him through thick and thin]] is both detrimental and [[Reconstruction redeeming]] to her quality.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Abel gets a lot of flak for running away from the village and his marriage to Gizel by a sizable portion of the comments on the manga, calling him out for being a coward, breaking his sister's heart, falling back to his previous life's moral standards, and failing to talk it out with his family to hopefully call off the wedding... despite the fact that Abel himself stated how it really feels wrong to him, actually tried to talk to his father to let him see things from his perspective, only for his father to tell him to just 'suck it up, be a man and take it' and rushes the wedding to cut any chance for Abel to escape. Not to mention his sister's [[{{Yandere}} creepy obsession with him]].

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: TheProtagonist is reincarnated and born in a tribe of magic users who engage in BrotherSisterIncest marriages as the norm in their traditions, and TheProtagonist himself is a product of said marriages, and is promised in matrimony to his [[BigBrotherAttraction little sister]]! However, the trope is then {{subverted|Trope}}, as said tradition is only used as a motivation for TheProtagonist's escape from the village [[CallToAdventure to the outside world]], to lessen the guilt from said escape, and the story instead cast [[YourTraditionIsNotMine his act of defiance of tradition]] in a good light, [[spoiler: with him '''{{def|iedTrope}}ying''' it in the ending]].

** The Riveras Kingdom, [[CorruptChurch Levi Church]] and [[TokenGoodTeammate Sateria]] were supposed to be viewed as victims of their EvilGod Levi manipulations, after he's revealed to be [[spoiler: the False God [[DemiurgeArchtype Med]]]]. However, that happens after they've committed several acts of terrorism and hostility, that claimed several lives (see: Nalgarn). Driving nearby villages to decline with sabotage, monster attacks and [[PoisonAndCureGambit diseases]], to attempts at abduction and assassination. Most of the perpetrators were portrayed as {{Sinister Minister}}s who [[CardCarryingVillain fully embrace their role]] in their war against the "infidels". Yet the kingdom ends up [[AllIsWellThatEndsWell getting a happy ending]] handed to them by [[spoiler: placing a fake deity (based on Abel) to end their civil-religious wars]].

* EpilepticTrees: A line in Chapter 48, uttered by Mea when Abel suggests throwing away his bag of dried-up Greater Bear Meat, has her using the word "protein". The story established fairly early that Abel's current life is in a medieval-like time mixed with swords and sorcery, [[AnachronismStew where terms like this may not been invented yet]]. This led many of the webnovel readers on the original website to suspect Mea of being a reincarnated person herself (even believed to be Abel's previous life female underclassmen I-chan). The author seems to have caught on, and [[BigLippedAligatorMoment nothing like that ever happened again]].

** [[LittleSisterHeroine Gizel]] can be seen as a [[JerkassWoobie victim of the circumstances]] and her tribe's traditions, with the way her brother ran away from the ArrangedMarriage she was promised of ever since she was a child by her parents. However, it's shown that [[ItsAllAboutMe she willing to trap her brother against his wishes]] in said marriage, becomes [[SanitySlippage unhinged day after day from the anxiety]], drags her companions in the Abel search party on tiring journey, [[spoiler: is [[{{Yandere}} willing to attack and inflict near-lethal body harm]] to her brother's [[LoveRival female companion]], in addition of being NotBrainwashed]]! Gizel's actions wouldn't have an ounce of charm [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale if the genders were reversed]] (A brother forcing himself on his sister, anyone?)
