Unmarked Spoilers Below
- Alternate Character Interpretation: It was nice of Liam to be secretive for 10 years just to suddenly throw a decade of friendship away because Josh doesn't want more...
- Indecisive Parody: The prologue was meant to be a parody/deconstruction of otome (i.e. girl-oriented romance game genre) stereotypes (ex: clumsy and not-too-bright heroine, Nice Guy and bad boy love interests, Alpha Bitch who only exists as a romantic complication for the heroine, etc.) with the post-prologue part revealing that the "prologue" was only a Show Within a Show with the characters' actors having vastly different and less stereotypical personalities. However, a combination of the prologue actually being relatively well-written, the lack of overt parodic jokes causing the prologue to feel not all that different from other straight-up otome games, and several visual novel websites categorizing it as an otome game in spite of the majority of the game having a male protagonist, led many a player to not realize the prologue was intended to be a parody and become genuinely disappointed when the Halfway Plot Switch to a male protagonist occurred.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The post-prologue part of the story takes place in a dimension that requires love from Earth to function, leading to the natives to create a conspiracy to harvest love from Earth. All of this is revealed in a single Info Dump and doesn't really come in play at all in the rest of the story (which is a Gay Romance story). Not helping is how this introduces a lot of questions that the narrator offhandely dismisses.
- The Woobie: Liam after being rejected. Of course, Josh wasn't happy to lose a friend either.
