* MoeCouplet: Lavali and Marie - one's almost painfully [[ShrinkingViolet shy and reserved]], the other's a teenaged GamerGirl with a hidden girly streak and an obvious case of [[{{fangirl}} hero worship]] towards Sandra. When they're together, [[{{moe}} the moe factor]] skyrockets, such as when Sandra incites everyone [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/sandra-on-the-rocks/we-are-naked-in-public to go skinny-dipping in the pool at a nightclub]].

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Some readers felt it was unfair for the comic to end with [[NiceGuysFinishLast Pierre heartbroken]], whereas Sandra quickly moves on with someone new. The matter was partially rectified by a post-comic scene in the Volume 3 PrintBonus story, which shows Pierre [[BelatedHappyEnding has also moved on]] [[spoiler: with his cousin, Eloise. Although [[TheBadGuyWins considering Pierre breaking up with Sandra was all part of Eloise's petty plot for revenge against Sandra for "stealing" her job..]]]].

* AngstWhatAngst: You'd think Sandra would've been more heartbroken over [[spoiler: Pierre breaking up with her]], but it didn't take long for her to [[EasyComeEasyGo get over it]] and [[spoiler: move on with Cammi]].

* HilariousInHindsight: [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/The_you_will_be_me_and_not_you Strip #67]] has Sandra thinking the UsefulNotes/WiiU's gamepad is the whole system, complimenting it for being compact. Then the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch came along, with a core system that really WAS that small.

* BrokenBase: [[spoiler:The ending. While some readers see no problem with Sandra ending up with Cammi, crediting it as another example of inclusivity towards non-heteronormative relationships, and point out that the possibility had a certain amount of foreshadowing, others have pointed out the relationship boarders on a complete AssPull, with reasons ranging from Sandra being conclusively proven to be straight -- if the legendary [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer DiDi]] couldn't be a ClosetKey for her than nothing should've -- to the previously established fact that any attraction to women that she did feel was apparently based solely on a fetish for completely meaningless sex and her own subconscious telling her that an emotional relationship with another woman would be "hell". And that's besides the fact that detractors suggest that Sandra and Cammie have been shown to have ''nothing in common'' beyond general impulsivity (and that Ingrid was better suited for Cammi). This all comes as the consequence of a TimeSkip, with even supporters of the ending saying it felt rushed.]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Some readers felt it was unfair for the comic to end with Pierre [[NiceGuysFinishLast being heartbroken]], whereas Sandra quickly moved on with someone new. The matter was partially rectified by a post-comic scene in a bonus story of the Volume 3 print edition, which shows Pierre [[BelatedHappyEnding has also moved on]] [[spoiler: with his cousin, Eloise.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Zoé has proven to be divisive. Opinion on the comic's official forum is split between those who admire her for having Sandra's best interests at heart, and say she's awesome. The other side feels she's anything but, due to her hair trigger temper, with some saying she (and Domenico's agency by extension) is [[WithFriendsLikeThese more of an antagonist]] [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=598222#p598222 than Eva.]] Others criticise her for overall lack of professionalism.

* EvilIsSexy: Eva has officially become a meta and [[InUniverseExamplesOnly in-universe example:]]

* FetishFuel: Tatiana normally wears severe business suits (and even suit-style pyjamas for sleep). Beneath these, physically, she wears exotic lingerie. Emotionally, she's a dedicated dominatrix. Basically, she's fetish fuel on legs.

** But it could also be a reference to ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', which also got a lot of flak for making its strong female protagonist seem weaker. This is supported by Sandra receiving a special edition Carmen Chamelia Nintendo handheld (probably a [[Nintendo3DS Nintendo 3DS]], though Sandra's video game knowledge is so far in the past that the only system she knows about is Game Boy and Alex doesn't really say what he's giving her); while many Nintendo franchises have been directly referenced, Metroid hasn't, so it's possible that Carmen Chamelia is this universe's equivalent.

* TakeThat: The whole thing with the DarkerAndEdgier reboot of ''Carmen Chamelia'' seems to be one against the latest ''VideoGame/{{Tomb Raider|2013}}'' installment.
