Trivia / Evillious Chronicles

• Approval of God:
  • Although "The Letter She Kept Waiting For" isn't canon, mothy still enjoyed one of the fanon videos for the song, even pointing it out on his twitter.
  • He also seems to like the fan Wiki. Apparently, he's using it to try and improve his English. The fans fear that this won't end well for him...
• Breakthrough Hit: "Daughter of Evil" and "Servant of Evil".
• Creator's Favorite: Despite killing two of them off early, mothy claims that the Three Heroes from the Daughter of Evil series are his favorite characters, especially Mariam. Several fans agree that they are all plenty badass.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: A variant; in "Banica Concerto!!", Lich and Eater's singing debuts are provided by Meiko with her voice pitched lower.
• The Danza:
  • Sort of. Riliane takes the pseudonym "Rin" after the revolution. Similarly, Liliane/Riliane Mouchet is Only Known By Her Nickname, Lily.
  • There's also Rin Chan in the Pere Noel arc; the Envy arc also has quite a few, with Rin and Miku Miroku as well as Ren.
  • Rin from "Ten Minute Love" and the end of Master of the Heavenly Yard takes the cake—she basically is Rin Kagamine in all but full name (her surname is never revealed).
• Development Hell: Word of God states that the Wrath arc took the longest to release because he wanted to condense Nemesis' whole life into the song (something he didn't do for most of the other sinners and didn't have to do in the "Story of Evil" because it was a series and not just one song). This apparently proved to be more difficult than he expected.
• Fan Translation: Almost all of the content of the series in English or with English subs is fan-translated. The closest mothy has gotten to providing official translations for any of his works is giving them alternate English titles.
• Follow the Leader: The success of the novels, expansions on what was originally just a series of popular Vocaloid songs, not only put mothy on the map but also made it clear to other Vocaloid producers that it was financially viable to turn their song stories into literature. Cue many other expansion novels of popular Vocaloid songs. Some are better received than others, often depending on whether or not the work is viewed as a cash grab or if fans don't like having their interpretations nullified by explanation.
• God Never Said That:
  • For a while some fans were convinced that when the girl from Bloodstained Switch was given the injection, she split into two, eventually becoming Elluka and Irina. It was even considered fact on the Evillious Wiki for a while. But it turns out the "source" was comments on the video on Nico Nico that couldn't actually be attributed to mothy. Since The Original Sin Story -Act 2- album came out, the references made to the song's events on Elluka, Irina and Ma's and pages on the wiki have been removed
  • Due to the fair amount of difficulty in fans outside Japan finding information outside of the songs and the possibility of Youtube reuploaders not sourcing videos correctly, many fanmade songs and PVs for the Story of Evil are taken as fact.
• Meaningful Release Date: The PV for "Master of the Heavenly Yard" was released on February 28, 2018—a full ten years to the day since the Chronicles started, bookending the franchise. Following that, the PV for "Waltz of the Deceased" was released on February 28, 2022, four years after "master of the heavenly yard".
• Newbie Boom: The series gained a huge influx of new fans after several of the Seven Deadly Sins stories featured in a collaboration with Project SEKAI.
• Playing Against Type:
  • GUMI as the Master of the Hellish Yard.
  • Irina being played by Nekomura Iroha manages to beat that one.
  • And Hiyama Kiyoteru as Seth Twiright.
• Teasing Creator: mothy is this for his desperately analytical fanbase, refusing to shed light on his most pressing plot twists and instead only giving vague statements, such as his remarks about who Ma really is. It's a common phrase among fans, as well, to say that mothy's non-novel works raise more questions than answers.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The song "The Letter She Kept Waiting For" was supposed to detail the end moments of Riliane in the monastery, and in fact for a long time few fans knew it wasn't the true ending to the Daughter of Evil series.
  • "Abandoned on a Moonlit Night" apparently was going to be called "Zoo Detention" with, presumably, a completely different plot.
  • Mothy released an instrumental track called "Red Cat Easter" at one point without revealing anything about it. While never officially confirmed, it's heavily speculated by the fandom to have been his initial conception for "The Song I Heard Somewhere", both due to the timing (having been shortly before the OSSCE album release) and the themes of "Easter" involving rebirth (ie, Irina's rebirth into a red cat body).
