** The concept of AudienceParticipation would've been interesting.. if it didn't mean the audience could influence the most random of potential outcomes into happening. The result is that entire plot lines come and go without explanation or completion, the random Avatar cameos often became a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, and seemingly major characters will just [[AnyoneCanDie abruptly die]] because the worst possible option got picked, only to [[WeHaveReserves get replaced]] and either continue the plot or completely move onto something else like nothing prior mattered.
** Whether due to voice direction, or some sort of unconfirmed text to speech setup, virtually every character is absolutely wooden or a LargeHam in overdoing their lines, with no real in-between. Many characters came off as just uninterested in anything happening around them as a result.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Despite the claims that "there's never been anything like this", an interactive fiction with live plot-changing AudienceParticipation was the conceit of ''Lulu Smith: The Chicken That Ate Columbus'', one of the programs from the short-lived ''QUBE'' interactive television service.

** [[https://twitter.com/VoidBurger/status/1728310533147791602 BerryMan]], the random Avatar cameo that came out of nowhere, rambled about collecting berries, implies he did see something interesting but never explains it, and then leaves. He became the ''perfect'' star example of how utterly disjointed and nonsensical the attempts at a story were thanks to its format.

* NeverLiveItDown: "INTIMACY" involved its protagonist having to submit to a cult orgy in order to save his daughter. It rapidly became the most disliked upload of the entire already-controversial story and the most infamous portion of the ''entirety of Ascension''.

* MemeticMutation: [[UncertainAudience IT'S TRAUMA!]][[note]]An emote from the game that caught the attention from the fanbase due to its (perceived) mockery of the concept, given that the series normally plays such ideas very straight, [[IndecisiveParody including the game itself]].[[/note]]

* ScrappyMechanic: The AudienceParticipation aspect of ''Ascension'' can fall apart very quickly when someone who [[BribingYourWayToVictory shelled out a lot of money]] for a massive sum of Influence Points can sway the vote during a choice in their favor with no chance of others being able to sway the vote back.
