  • Aluminum Christmas Trees: At one point Shin Youngwoo is rushing in to rescue his little sister who is being sexually harassed by four college students who insist on a "date" with her and her female friend and refuse to take "no" for an answer, with Shin even having the Korean number for 911 on his phone, ready to go if the louts don't back off, until the phone battery decides to just die on him. The thugs then decide to try to beat him up "for stealing all the pretty women." As he's fighting, Shin starts putting into practice the martial arts he was being taught in the game, and it worked. While this may seem silly to some readers, research on Virtual Learning shows that this is indeed plausible with some noted early successes.
  • Base-Breaking Character: Lord Steim is a source of real contention. He acts more like a reincarnated isekai protagonist than any kind of simulated child by any kind of realistic standard. While some readers like his honest, innocent, and cheerful personality that can't tell the difference between "lovers" and "friends," many readers can't stand the fact that he's off hunting monsters before he's even 1-year-old, and is more over-powered than his father Greed, despite lacking the very, very real life and death struggles Greed goes through, at least on-screen. The fact that he's already got Rebecca's Daughters as a de-facto harem via an understanding before he's even 5 doesn't help.
  • Growing the Beard: The early chapters are cringe and difficult to struggle through, both because Greed is really getting the short end of the stick in things, and because he's unsympathetic in his attitude and behavior. But once he's made friends with Kahn, starts turning his life around, and manages to finally get recruited by Tzendarak Guild, the story becomes highly enjoyable, especially around chapter 20 of the manhwa, or approximately chapter 100 of the novel, where Greed comes into his own and starts fighting back, completely dominating the fight between himself and the 12 members of Giant Guild who came to kidnap him and brutalized Ibellin, the guild-mate who was trying to keep him safe.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Veradin jumps over it, laughing and yelling "Woohoo" in chapter 744 when he leads a raid into the city of Reinhardt and attacking Khan, not as a part of a quest, not because he holds a grudge, and not as an act of war, but simply to enact what he thinks is a psychological experiment with Agnus, just to see what would happen when Greed and Agnus clash because Greed is retaliating to the death of someone he cares for.
