History YMMV / TheWayToProtectTheFemaleLeadsOlderBrother

* EvilIsSexy: So far all introduced Agriches are very attractive, and boy does it show in the comment sections under each chapter.

** It's been also pointed out that shoehorning RebornAsVillainessStory was completely unnecessary and didn't add much to the plot except for protagonist's knowledge of the original novel, which becomes irrelevant anyway once she saves Cassis, and could be easily replaced by original Roxana reliving and fixing her previous life via TimeTravel.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: Regularly comes first/ranks high in "best art" polls on otome isekai threads on Reddit and other sites.
* BlackComedy: Quite a lot of it, but Maria scolding Dion for killing Ashil, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint five years after the fact and in the middle of a very dangerous situation]], has to take the cake.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some readers felt the story would be more compelling if it focused on retelling "Hell's Flower" from the perspective of original Roxana (abridged plot of "Hell's Flower" was put into one of the side-stories written after the novels were finished).

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: A common complaint about the story, if you don't consider Agriches' antics [[CrossesTheLineTwice darkly hilarious]]. Roxana herself, despite being the main character and technically not as bad as her relatives, still manipulates people at every turn, sacrifices quite a lot of lives in order to reach her goal and offhandedly mentions helping her father in his criminal activities. Other characters are also very morally gray, and even Sierra, while technically a good and kind person, is still judged in-universe and out for being too weak and passive.

* IncestSubtext: Roxana/Dion, with their last scene together before the timeskip being ambiguous enough to make many readers assume Dion put her through a ScarpiaUltimatum to keep his mouth shut about her letting Cassis escape. While this was disproven during their post-timeskip conversation, the incestuous undertones in their interactions are still quite heavy. In fact, Roxana [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] Dion's cryptic motivations in the very same conversation.
** To a more one-sided degree, Roxana/Jeremy. Jeremy is extremely possessive of her attention, best evidenced when he tries to get Cassis killed by Charlotte after Roxana expresses her interest in Cassis. He also explodes at anyone even looking at Roxana wrong, to the point of beating at least several people during their stay at Wigdrasil (which is supposed to be a peaceful gathering) and almost gets into a fight with Luzak Gasteur, memeber of another powerful family, for staring at his sister too long or even just talking about her. Not to mention planning to destroy Roxana's butterflies before they hatched because he was concerned she was worsening her health for them and spent too much time in hatchery for his liking, and his mental breakdown when he's forced to kill Roxana's illusion during his evaluation. However, their relationship is much more amicable and less laden with [[BelligerentSexualTension tension]] than the one between Roxana and Dion, and Roxana ultimately treats him as just a younger brother she's particularly fond of.
** Taken to a full blown text by Fontaine, who's not even trying to hide his desire for Roxana and outright plans to marry her.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Agriches are so over the top evil it often comes into ComedicSociopathy territory.

* TheWoobie: Sierra. She's married to what basically amounts to a mob boss, lives in a GildedCage, is forced to see her beloved son being killed, which takes a heavy toll on her mental health, and her only remaining child, a daughter, clearly disdains her and keeps her at arm's length.

* IncestSubtext: Roxana/Dion, to the point many readers assumed
* IncestYayShipping: Quite a lot of readers clearly prefer Roxana with Dion or even Jeremy than with Cassis.
