History YMMV / UnOrdinary

** But where's the limit? John didn't just "anonymously kick" the asses of a select few, he brutalized a bunch of kids within an inch of their lives. It's quite disturbing, really, how much the narrative justifies and feeds into the excessive violence that is John's character flaws.

* CreatorsPet: Some readers believe that Arlo became this in Season 2. This is due to a past interview where the author, Uru, once told her fans that she relates to Arlo the most, and finds him to be her favorite character. The result is the readers believing that Uru has an extreme bias towards Arlo to always make him look good at the expense of other characters, even if it barely makes any sense in the storytelling. [[spoiler:Particularly John, who's spent the majority of Season 2 as a raging lunatic while Arlo just goes about his business with his fellow classmates as if they believe he's done nothing wrong]].

* ArcFatigue: Overall, it's pretty much a universal agreement that the [[PacingProblems pacing]] of the story when trying to read this series on a weekly basis can be ''very''. There have been many times where chapters are released, only to leave people feeling like nothing happened.

** ''[[TheProtagonist John]]''. After his [[spoiler: brutalizing of the royals]], the fans' opinions on him have been ''very'' divided. While a part of the fandom considers his actions justified because of his mental issues due to his DarkAndTroubledPast (plus [[spoiler: Arlo's betrayal]]) and the {{Jerkass}} behavior of the high tiers in general, another part of the fandom deems him a complete villain due to his [[spoiler: violent behavior and ''brutal'' actions as the Joker.]] Then there's a [[TakeAThirdOption third party]] among the fans that agree that while John's actions are not justifiable by any means, his behavior is pretty understandable, considering his past and the circumstances that were forced on him in his current school and appreciate the writing of his character ''because'' of him being a flawed character.

* CaptainObviousReveal: Chapter 216 finally reveals what almost everyone believed about the EMBER terrorist organization ages ago. [[spoiler:That they're in cahoots with the government Authorities to kill potential threats to the current society]].

** The Rowden hillside battle against the Spectre assassins in Season 2 Part 2 seemed like the perfect opportunity to have the low-tier Wellston students, such as Evie or Roland, finally do something noteworthy in the story. Possibly show that some of them TookALevelInBadass after receiving a bit of training from Sera, or because they've grown tired of being pushed around. Instead, they just did their best hiding amongst the trees while John and the Wellston Royals did all the fighting.

** The Fake Joker plotline that started off Season 2. The students of Wellston who took part in the hierarchy bullying were finally being held accountable for their actions due to people pretending to be the masked Joker attacking bullies out of {{Revenge}}, which could have been a way for the bullies to finally start to realize that their disgusting actions have consequences, and that they should go about changing themselves to be better. However, this plotline instantly comes to a halt after [[spoiler:Isen decides to reveal John's identity to the school as the real Joker]]. Thus, [[StatusQuoIsGod restoring the might-makes-right power hierarchy]], but with [[spoiler:John]] at the top instead, and the bullies learning jack squat.
** For some, Remi's Safehouse plotline is felt to be really underutilized. Mostly because it just focused on holding off [[spoiler:John and Zeke from destroying it]] rather than actually delve into and resolve Wellston's bigger hierarchy and bullying problems that caused the Safehouse to be made to begin with. The only thing you actually got to see that didn't involve [[spoiler:holding off John and Zeke]] was a couple minor verbal arguments between the Safehouse students that Remi put to rest with hardly any effort.

** The mystery surrounding Terrence was incredibly dragged out. This plotline ended up going OutOfFocus after chapter 65, which was where Arlo intimidated Cecile into revealing Terrence's name as the anonymous reporter that wrote the article about the mall incident involving Remi, Blyke and Isen. It's not until over 100 chapters later that this finally gets touched on again despite how obviously suspicious it looks, but even then, Season 2 stretches it out further where they apparently got to investigate Terrence first before it's finally the time to confront him. It then turns out that Terrence [[spoiler:can't be touched due to being involved with the questionable organization, Spectre, that could put the main cast in danger]], which just makes the holdout to not confront Terrence that went on for years all the more pointless.

** Chapter 272 has the Spectre agent Liam [[spoiler:[[WouldHurtAChild drowning Terrence to death]], which came as a shock to a lot of people since it establishes that Uru will actually go with with killing off members of the younger cast]].

* ShockingMoments: Episode 319 hits with the force of a runaway train. [[spoiler:William is confronted by the Bureau for anonymously publishing ''Untitled'' (which Remi confirmed is just ''[=UnOrdinary=]'' under a different title), learns that his contact Simon was executed for breaking into government facilities and stealing sensitive information, and '''''is executed himself''''' by Jude. Cameron finally sees the pictures of his sister Jane and tries to contact William, but the house is dead silent and dark. It seems Claire's vision in Episode 231 (of John meeting Cameron) is about to happen under the worst circumstances...]]

* ItWasHisSled: John was only pretending to be a cripple in Season 1 Part-1. It doesn't help that that marketing for the series usually depicts John with GlowingEyes.

** The fact that the characters can train up their abilities to increase their PowerLevel is quite underutilized. Over 300 chapters into the story, yet the only character to have any confirmed current day power increase has been Blyke going from a 4.5 to 5.0 power spike.
