If the trope page doesn't say "this is trivia" or "this is based on opinion", the trope doesn't belong on the work's trivia or YMMV subpages.

It isn't Trivia or YMMV, so it goes on the main work page.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Also it's best use the subtropes instead of the supertrope if examples apply to them.

Does Zeerust have subtropes?

Anyway, Zeerust is not Trivia because it's a part of the work that's there for everyone to see. And it's not really an audience reaction (it's a clash between the work's prediction of the future and how things really turned out, so it's not just in the mind of the audience) and not subjective either, hence not YMMV.

"clash between the work's prediction of the future and how things really turned out" is actually Dewey Defeats Truman. Zeerust is purely about aesthetics and doesn't require the present to have caught up to the future of the work.

Sorry, you’re correct. I was typing faster than I was thinking.
