Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


** There's also an enemy at the end of Vol. 8/the beginning of Vol. 9 who uses a ''[[ChainsawGood chainsaw]]''. It should be pretty obvious that those didn't exist in the Old West. (let alone to be used as weapons) Borders on CriticalResearchFailure in the eyes of some fans.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


** Vascar De Guillon has his beliefs absolutely destroyed when [[spoiler: his wife dies of an unprecedented disease that the doctors and priests deem to be of Satanic origin]].

* GenreRoulette: The series takes readers from a story deeply rooted in the the WeirdWest genre to a brief scene set in a [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture near-future city]]. It then shifts to historical fiction set in the era of the UsefulNotes/TheCrusades, before returning to the WeirdWest genre and setting it started in. In addition, heavy elements of religion-based fantasy and ReligiousHorror permeate the storyline. TropesAreNotBad here, because all of these genres are integrated in a way that manages to work. (and is pretty damn engrossing to boot)

Temozarela explicitly states he will allow Nera to continue worshipping God and not take part in their corruption.

** Vascar De Guillon has his beliefs absolutely destroyed when [[spoiler: his wife dies of an unprecedented disease that the doctors and priests deem to be of Satanic origin]]. It only gets worse when [[spoiler: his faith in God is broken even further by Temozarela's recounting of past events, and his realization that he and the FallenAngel are apparently NotSoDifferent.]]
** Betheal Gavarre loses his grip when [[spoiler: he witnesses the aftermath of his adoptive son Matthew's brutal murder of one of the women at the monastery]]. After that, he passes the point of no return when he [[spoiler: strangles Matthew to death, only to realize that his son was under Temozarela's influence]]. If that doesn't convince you, he then decides to ''accept'' his circumstances and [[spoiler: give up on his life, sacrificing himself to the Devil in order to get revenge on Temozarela.]]
** Ivan Isaacs outright loses his mind during [[spoiler: the events of Temozarela's attempted resurrection, which turn everything he believes in upside-down and result in the deaths of both his LoveInterest and himself]]. After [[spoiler: his resurrection at the hands of Belial]], he apparently experiences mental/emotional shock so bad that he attempts to go back to his old town to live a normal life with Gena[[spoiler: [[MummiesAtTheDinnerTable 's corpse]]]], and subsequently suffers an intense psychological breakdown that culminates in him [[spoiler: going on a grief-induced rampage and killing all of the now-undead residents of his town]]. His mental stability only continues to worsen from that point on, until he's nothing more than a faithless, remorseless, [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] lone-wolf whose [[BloodKnight only pleasure left in life is violence and killing]].

On the other hand, while he's clearly [[TookALevelInBadass taken countless levels in badass]] since then, he doesn't find enjoyment in reading and studying anymore and therefore doesn't bother to do either.
