YMMV / Puyo Puyo 8

• Hilarious in Hindsight: When the fic was originally written, some ideas ended up becoming true in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, such as the inclusion of Legamünt as a playable character thanks to his later inclusion as Downloadable Content in the game, the idea of one member of the Big Bad Duumvirate was brainwashed into their actions, and the return of the Tetra Crew.
• The Woobie: Poor Jennifer can't catch a break. During Puyo Puyo 8 she spends most of the story stuck under Aya's brainwashing, and when she starts to rebel it just brainwashes her more and attempts to marry her. After being freed, it is celebrated by basically nobody except for Moon Snail, with multiple characters gaining the Jerkass Ball against her and her only. As Tetris Returns follows her quest for acceptance, most attempts fail, culminating in a Heroic BSoD when Moon Snail gets brainwashed by Ar, and even after she's able to get out of the rut thanks to Ex and saving the day, she is still treated scornfully by people like Arle, Feli and Klug. It doesn't even end there. When she goes to join the Tetra Crew, she has to leave her Only Friend Moon Snail behind to be with them, even if they're able to contact still.
