Harsher in Hindsight: This fanfic was pretty much prophetic in terms of RWBY's Volume 9, where the weight of her responsibilities as The Leader and The Paragon push Ruby to breaking point.
Hilarious in Hindsight: In Chapter 34, released on March 26 of 2021, Vine Zeki gets killed off. In the actual Volume 8 episode released a day after the chapter was released, he gets killed off.
Jerkass Woobie: The Doom Slayer himself. Sure, he's a hugeJerkass, but to say that he's suffered would be a massive understatement. During his childhood, he was the victim of Fantastic Racism due to his half-Terran heritage, especially by his own grandfather, who then did something to permanently ruin what happiness he had by evidently getting him kidnapped to join the Night Sentinels. Then, when he started to believe he would turn into a monster just like his grandfather when he hit his brother in a fit of anger, he ran away to join the Night Sentinels and was subjected to immense Training from Hell. In the end, this didn't even matter as events beyond the Slayer's control resulted in his homeworld, Argent D'Nur, falling to the forces of Hell anyway, leaving only him to continue a one-man crusade against Hell for eons, all by himself, leaving no shortage of physical and psychological wounds. Even when he was knocked unconscious and imprisoned in a coffin, he was bombarded by constant nightmares for hundreds of years, and was simply awakened to continue his path of battle. Simply put, with all he's gone through, it's a miracle there's some humanity left within him.
Many of the story's readers tend to treat the Doom Slayer's actions as in the right and lambast other members of the cast for either opposing him or complaining about him. This misses the entire point, as the author's main intent is to take apartboth sides of the crossover and treat the Slayer as incredibly flawed, with the grievances and reasons people give for hating him In-Universe being treated as very legitimate and understandable.
A number of readers also like how Ruby becomes darker and more violent throughout her battles against Hell, with some even liking her more than in canon. The large number of characters In-Universe (including the Doom Slayer and Ruby herself) being horrified by her actions makes it clear that her becoming darker and more violent isn't a good thing and the readership isn't supposed to like it either.
Squick: It is DOOM after all. If you're not a fan of blood and gore, then the morbid and graphic descriptions of fights and what happens to demons and the humans who fight them might make your stomach churn. How else would someone react to Fox getting disemboweled, sliced in half from his midsection upwards, and reanimated with his intestines turning into Combat Tentacles?
Unpopular Popular Character: The Doom Slayer. In-Universe, damn near everyone is either uneasy with him or flat out hates him, pointing out how needlessly destructive his actions are and how he's little better than the demons he actively kills, with said people being framed as either in the right about him or at least having a solid point that even the Slayer can't help but agree with. Large chunks of the readership practically glorify the Slayer and how he operates while simultaneously deriding anyone who disagrees with him, ignoring the entire point as covered above in Misaimed Fandom.
