Line #13 YMMV/SaikyouJuzokuTensei


1	* AngstWhatAngst: For a story that features a teen running away from his home and marriage, Abel's only missed his home and his sister for a few times. His parents (especially [[SatelliteCharacter his mother]]) were barely featured worrying about him. Given [[EvilSorcerer what]] [[CorruptChurch he]] [[BloodKnight encountered]] [[JerkassGods on]] [[EldritchAbomination his]] [[CosmicHorrorStory journey]], it may have been for the best to not show them worrying.
2	* AudienceAlienatingPremise: TheProtagonist is reincarnated and born in a tribe of magic users who engage in BrotherSisterIncest marriages as the norm in their traditions, and he himself is a product of said marriages, and is promised in matrimony to his [[BigBrotherAttraction little sister]]! However, the trope is then {{subverted\|Trope}}, as said tradition is only used as a motivation for his escape from the village [[CallToAdventure to the outside world]], to lessen the guilt from said escape, and the story instead cast [[YourTraditionIsNotMine his act of defiance of tradition]] in a good light, [[spoiler: with him '''{{def\|iedTrope}}ying''' it in the ending]].
3	* BaseBreakingCharacter:
4	** Abel's reaction to his upcoming marriage to his sister can be... polarizing to some. Some claim his decision to escape the village was cowardly and irresponsible, even stating that he should've instead made his stance against the marriage pretty clear, adding the fact that he [[AppealToForce could've used his magic]] and control over the smoke-leaves production to strong-arm the whole village into letting him have his way. However, this goes against Abel's [[HumbleGoal wish]] for a SlowLifeFantasy, let alone he's too much of a NiceGuy. His likability takes a dive after Volume 5 in the novel, where he ends up holding the IdiotBall in order to show that he's SkilledButNaive and can be tricked and put in danger along with Mea (after Volume 4 showed he's can be such a CrazyPrepared and ProperlyParanoid).. so [[LetsGetDangerous he could make a comeback]] and beats the villains when [[NearVillainVictory they're close to winning against him]]. This pattern ends up [[RecycledScript getting repeated]] to make Abel less of an InvincibleHero, but ends up making him suffer from ForgotAboutHisPowers and AesopAmnesia. He also has a rather weird thought process regarding [[SaveTheVillain saving some really vile people]] who tried to earnestly kill him, almost looking like he's ''[[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe fishing for an excuse]]'' to save them.
5	** Mea starts off as TheHeart and the traveling companion for Abel, and helps fleshing him out as a friend and helps taking care of him, takes up archery (taught by Abel) to help him adventuring, and [[BewareTheNiceOnes does have her moments to shine]]. But she's looked down upon because she often becomes the DesignatedVictim and the DamselInDistress, when the villains have to [[DistressBall force Abel into submission]]. Abel does acknowledge early that she's an open target, yet she insists on accompanying him. She's fully aware she's a MuggleBornOfMages and CantCatchUp to threats to her and Abel, but her [[TrueCompanions insistance on supporting him through thick and thin]] is both detrimental and redeeming to her quality.
6	* CreatorsPet: According to WordOfGod, [[FakeUltimateHero Gaston]] is this.
7	* EnsembleDarkHorse: Out of all the characters who stayed in for awhile and dropped off never to be seen again, [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Maizen]] earned the manga (and the novel) readers' love because of his endearing personality and genuine kindness. There also his [[LovableCoward tendency to run from danger to protect others from it]] making him the target of a few memes!!
8	* EpilepticTrees: A line in Chapter 48, uttered by Mea when Abel suggests throwing away his bag of dried-up Greater Bear Meat, has her using the word "protein". The story established fairly early that Abel's current life is in a medieval-like time mixed with swords and sorcery, [[AnachronismStew where terms like this may not been invented yet]]. This led many of the webnovel readers on the original website to suspect Mea of being a reincarnated person herself (even believed to be Abel's previous life female underclassmen I-chan). The author seems to have caught on, and [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment nothing like that ever happened again]].
9	* JustHereForGodzilla: Admit it. Many, if not all, were drawn to the novel just from the idea of a tribe that treats BrotherSisterIncest marriages as [[DeliberateValuesDissonance the definitive norm]] for an in-universe reason, and [[LittleSisterHeroine the protagonist's sister]] becoming a {{yandere}} and [[IWillFindYou chasing after him]] when he escapes their ArrangedMarriage.
10	* MST3KMantra: Any discussion about how the Marren tribe haven't perished yet to genetic disorders from their [[BrotherSisterIncest incest marriages]] can end with this answer.
11	* PortmanteauCoupleName: Put the first Katakana letter in Melzef (メレゼフ) and the last letter in Nelea (ネレア) together and you get... '''Mea (メア)'''.
12	* {{Squick}}: The reveal of the Marren clan's [[BrotherSisterIncest marriage customs]].
13	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
14	** [[ChildhoodFriend Filo]]. She's introduced as a ''safe'' LoveInterest for Abel in the Marren tribe, if a little {{tsundere}} and CannotSpitItOut in their interactions, is shown distraught over the news of his incoming marriage and greatly misses him after he left... Only to be DemotedToExtra, put through the wringer from the journey to bring Abel back, finally meet him, scold him and confesses that she could've helped him in the village had he asked... then Abel [[ShipSinking kindly rejects her]] in favor of [[spoiler: Mea]], and is left out of the plot, getting a small mention in the epilogue [[spoiler: for helping Abel get accepted in the village again]].
15	** Filo's pet [[CanineCompanion Loops]] deserves a mention. A close companion to Filo and is shown (in the manga at least) as friendly and accepting of Abel approaching it's master. Yet it's [[AbsentAnimalCompanion never mentioned again]] in the novel after Abel leaves the village, missing a good opportunity to include a dog to the Abel Search Party to help tracking him, or at least protect Filo.
16	** Mea's big brother Darrel. He's solely mentioned in Mea's OriginsEpisode, and was stated to have grown from a BigBrotherBully to a CoolBigBro for his sister, but was never mentioned again before and after Mea leaves the settlement. He should at least have something to say or do.. [[spoiler: about his mother getting TakenForGranite and his father going on mission to [[OffingTheOffspring kill his sister]]]].
17	** Zolomonia might as well be the biggest offender in the novel. After [[ThrowTheDogABone forming a contract with Abel]] and helping him with her powers [[ClimaxBoss fight off Kudor]] by the skin of their teeth. Instead of becoming a valuable ally for Abel .. she's [[YankTheDogsChain sealed in a storehouse]] to spend her time deciphering magicbooks and texts. Abel's justifications for that is, since she's such a WildCard, leaving her free is [[NoManShouldHaveThisPower a risk he's not going to take]].
18	* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
19	** Abel's [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere reaction to his incoming marriage]] to his sister can be... polarizing. On one hand, he knows from his previous life of the potential risks like birth-defects (which he did try talking his father out of it, but he didn't understand), along with making Giselle grow [[NoSocialSkills attached and dependent on him]], fearing that [[ShotgunWedding his village will strong-arm him into marrying her]] (which is proven correct, when his [[ForYourOwnGood father arranged for the wedding to be after three days]]), and [[IJustWantToBeFree wanting to be free]] and out of [[HiddenElfVillage the village]]. On the other hand, Abel left [[DearJohnLetter an abrupt letter]] explaining how he'd only see his sister as a... sister and he's sorry about that, and that he'll return after he's gotten married, or Giselle gotten married instead. This could be interpreted the wrong way (and it's implied Giselle crumbled the letter and ignored its content), leading to his sister [[spoiler: turning {{Yandere}} and manipulating the village into forming a search party]].
20	** The issue with the letter was downplayed in the Light Novel's extra chapter “Giselle's Struggle”. Where it was shown that indeed, [[spoiler: Giselle did read the letter]]!
21	** [[CoolOldGuy Peter]], despite becoming a ReasonableAuthorityFigure to Abel, his [[TheTeamBenefactor greatest asset]], [[IntergenerationalFriendship friend]] and who also [[{{Ambadassador}} saved Abel from a sticky situation]] and had [[FreudianExcuse reasons]] to becoming a WellIntentionedExtremist... still comes off [[spoiler: as an EasilyForgiven monster who took two teenagers captives and [[WouldHurtAChild tried to have them killed]] because TheyKnewTooMuch, and [[NearVillainVictory came very close to killing Abel]] through an [[DirtyCoward underhanded method]]]]. [[spoiler: Abel even [[SaveTheVillain rescues him]] from a LaserGuidedKarma on the '''flimsy excuse''' that he would've spared Mea after killing him, disregarding the fact that Peter would've still [[MoralEventHorizon murdered him, left his companion to mourn him]] (unless [[FridgeHorror she's killed as well]]), and would've been [[HoistByHisOwnPetard killed by Kudor without Abel to save him]]]]!! Any reason to wonder why there is {{catharsis\|Factor}} felt when Peter [[JerkassRealization realizes]] that [[ForgivenButNotForgotten this past incident]] '''maybe''' [[{{Deconstruction}} made it hard for Abel to trust him]] with his and Mea's life??
22	** The Riveras Kingdom, [[CorruptChurch Levi Church]] and [[TokenGoodTeammate Sateria]] were supposed to be viewed as victims of their EvilGod Levi manipulations, after he's revealed to be [[spoiler: the False God [[DemiurgeArchetype Med]]]]. However, that happens after they've committed several acts of terrorism and hostility, that claimed several lives (see: Nalgarn). Driving nearby villages to decline with sabotage, monster attacks and [[PoisonAndCureGambit diseases]], to attempts at abduction and assassination. Most of the perpetrators were portrayed as {{Sinister Minister}}s who [[CardCarryingVillain fully embrace their role]] in their war against the "infidels". Yet the kingdom ends up [[AllIsWellThatEndsWell getting a happy ending]] handed to them by [[spoiler: placing a fake deity (based on Abel) to end their civil-religious wars]].
