This has become even more noticable since the ScheduleSlip started. Every now and then, Mr. Frost will post and apologize profusely for the lack of updates. The readership is almost universally understanding and comforting and very patient. However, '''do not''' criticize the author in the comment section, because the other readers will tell you in no uncertain terms that you are very free to go to other parts of the Internet.

** The little group of suspicious individuals surrounding Gerald are often referred to as the Pancake House Five -- even though they have appeared in their entirety only once, haven't been seen in ages, two of them didn't even have speaking roles and Roman seems to have permanently split from their ranks.
** The shield Hector received from Haqq is usually called "the cheat shield" because it ups Hector's powers for a short period of time.

** When Hector was wanted after the incidents at his school, the readers knew that he was, in fact, the good guy. This wasn't visible to anyone in-story though; to them he was just the weird kid with scary powers who encased a couple of people in metal. ''They'' didn't know that the people he killed where mindless zombies controlled by Geoffrey.
** Sanko's behavior in the Ranlords vs. Vanguard arc makes a whole lot more sense if you consider this trope. Of course we know that the Rainlords didn't actually betray the Vanguard, but from Sanko's point of view, there is only evidence that imcriminates the Rainlords. When they refuse to cooperate with the investigation, this marks them as guilty in her eyes which sets off the fight that might have been avoided otherwise.

* AbandonShipping: Mr. Frost tried to invoke this with the Ibai/Emiliana pairing. When Ibai was introduced, Ibai took an instant liking to Emiliana and intended to go on an adventure with her. People started shipping them together, kind of overlooking the fact that Ibai is definitely an adult despite his cheerful and naive nature. Frost felt he should [[http://thezombieknight.blogspot.com/2015/01/page-952.html#comment-1798002937 mention]] their age gap:
--> '''George M. Frost:''' Here's where I remind all of you that Ibai is in his mid-thirties and Emiliana is fourteen.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** Abolish: Since we haven't seen much of their perspective, this is a given. Are they really just crazy sociapaths hellbent on creating as much death and destruction as possible, or is there some deeper meaning to their actions?
** Parson Miles: Did he cross the MoralEventHorizon with his actions against the Rainlords and his plans of overthrowing Sermung, or is he instead a WellIntentionedExtremist and totally justified in trying to change the Vanguard?
** the Rainlords: After Sanko arrived, should they have cooperated with the investigation despite their misgivings? Was their utter refusal and HonorBeforeReason approach a little rash or totally justified?
* ArcFatigue: Not a terribly bad example of the trope, but the whole Rainlords vs. the Vanguard arc had some aspects of this. The writing was as good as ever and the arc itself was interesting enough; it's just that there were so many battles in close succession that it became somewhat repetitive.
* ArchiveBinge: As many commenters can attest, you start reading the story and kind of end up two days later having read through everything in one sitting. It's just that addictive and the format of small little pages invites the "one more page" mindset that leads to binges.
* AwesomenessWithdrawal: The most common complaint of new readers. "I'm all caught up now, what am I supposed to ''do''?"
* CanonFodder: Since this is an ongoing serial, there are still many unsolved plot threads around. For example:
** Plenty of people who have been OutOfFocus for a while. Colt and Harper will certainly appear again at some point.
** The Rofal Clan will probably play some part in future arcs. After all, Geoffrey Rofal's corpse is still around somewhere, and we do know that aberration bones have powers...
** The concept of the Undercrust has been introduced but not explored, so far.
