* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The Neo-Confucians, while the text being a bit subtler about it, are still frequently criticized by the plot, particularly the "ghost scheme" that is attributed to Confucius himself.

Always Chaotic Evil is about assigning a moral alignment to a group of people whose only uniting feature is their race (or, at a stretch, some other feature which is not inherently a moral framework). Neo-Confucianism *is* a moral framework, so saying that all Neo-Confucianists have the same moral alignment isn't this trope. (Saying that their shared moral alignment is evil might be a misrepresentation of Neo-Confucianism, but that's a separate issue.)

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The Neo-Confucians are Always Lawful Evil. Not a single one is ever anything less than a complete asshole who feels entitled to treat other people like dirt and expects to be praised for it. The book opens with Master Li lamenting that their hyper-conservative influence is killing China by inches. [[spoiler: In the end, however, they are ''not'' the main antagonists. The BigBad is driven, at least partially, by a desire to ''escape'' their influence and create art outside their stifling strictures.]]
