* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The author makes numerous hilarious and obvious mistakes when attempting to document Japanese history and discuss its culture. This is particularly funny considering the author felt the need to dedicate a significant portion of his fanfic to presenting himself as an expert on it. Most damningly is that he presents Emperor Hirohito as a good man who was bullied into a militarist regime by his generals, when there is a lot more evidence that the Emeperor suggested/endorsed a lot Japan’s fascist policies.

As any Sailor Moon nut can tell you, Rei is a ''Shinto'' priestess. She invokes the wrong gods and sometimes seems to be replicating Buddhist rituals, as well as just doing things the author made up that are very out of place with the behavior of a Shinto priestess.

The fanfic became extremely notorious for its wildly out of character interpretations of every cast member, its nearly impenetrable plot, and especially its massive length. The story was so long it even included an ''appendix'' that explained every single joke or reference the author could think of in the story, lengthy (and laughably inaccurate) essays attempting to educate the reader about Japanese history, the multiple shows referenced, and even the author's views on topics such as contemporary politics and Creator/HowardStern. It was followed by a sequel, ''Fanfic/ReturnOfTheLawndaleMilitia'', and a prequel, ''Fanfic/TriumphOfTheRetart'', all three of which ensured Guerin's permanent infamy in the fandom.

** The Sailor Senshi themselves are largely reduced to a hive mind. While the show itself could be accused of this when the cast got too large, the characters still had rather distinct personalities for the story to throw into the trash. In particular, Minako would not blatantly insult Ami for being too smart. Furthermore, the Sailor Starlights' lone appearance in the story is already so far out of canon that it even disregards that because they live on another planet and never expected to see the main characters again, Seiya would probably be just a ''bit'' upset that Usagi was bleeding out on the ground in front of her considering she was ''in love with her''. However, the only one of these characters to even speak any dialog is ''Yaten'', and the others may as well not be in the scene since they contribute nothing to the fight or to Star Healer "healing Usagi". Rei is constantly seen speaking extremely formally and invoking various Japanese gods, something she never does in any incarnation (also, the gods are wrong for Shinto.)
