* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Hitler and Mussolini are casually mentioned as contempary world leaders who are widely despised but aren't actively at war with many other nations at the time, giving the book a very 1930s vibe.

* FridgeHorror: 40-odd people is too small a number to ensure long-term survival; there is insufficient genetic diversity. The same with the animals taken on the ship. Factor in deaths due to accidents or illness, and there will be nobody left in just a few decades; a hundred years, tops. The novels avert this by having three ships successfully make the crossing, with a total number of survivors in the hundreds.

* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Japanese valet Kyto doesn't start out this way, but he avoids being an EthnicScrappy in the first book and earns the status in the sequel with the reveal that he's a proficient, well-educated foreign spy who had a BecomingTheMask epiphany.
** Marian Jackson, a tertiary character from from the second book, is better-liked than some of the main cast due to being a CloserToEarth NonProtagonistResolver who is repeatedly underestimated by the main characters.
