YMMV / Semi-Auto Semla

• Base-Breaking Character: Lilja Trevaine has become one as of the second Season. She still has fans who like her for being an influential manipulative villain (and kinky, therefore a great source of fanservice). However, more and more people have started to dislike her because of her Rich Bitch attitude and the fact that nothing seems to be able to shake the status quo and the hold she and her family have over Beistad, making her a borderline Invincible Villain. Even if it requires Julia to hold the Idiot Ball by going straight to their manor to confront Lilja alone with her only copy of the documents revealing the Trevaines' illegal operations. The specific scene of her interrogating Julia with bondage and Truth Serum is either seen as kinky or as going too far. This has reached a point where part of the fanbase was overjoyed when, after she was arrested at the end of the Iron Tiger Tournament, her mother refused to bail her out to force her to face some consequences for her actions.
• Funny Moments: Both François and Amelie are walking CMOF. Between the Large Ham tendencies of a wannabe Lovable Rogue who's this world's Butt-Monkey and the hijinks of a pyromaniac Genki Girl who's a tad nuts, we're in for a treat every time they appear onscreen. Especially if they are onscreen together.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: François Chevalier is King Candy!
  François: (while talking about his shirt) "This is salmon, not pink!"
• It Was His Sled: The Trevaine family rules over a criminal syndicate and Lilja herself is a Mafia Princess and a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. Since their machinations have taken central stage during season 2 and are featured in numerous side materials, it's now hard to talk about the story's main plot without mentioning it.
• Moral Event Horizon: Lilja kidnapping Julia (the person who rescued her, or at least the person that did it publicly) and interrogating her via bondage and Truth Serum after she confronted her about the Trevaines' illegal operations.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: Fanservice aside, it can be hard to get invested in the comic. The city is more or less ruled by crime families that have their hooks in too deep to realistically get taken down any time soon, and backstory implies that things have been this way for a very long time. Almost every character is either a very dark grey or black on the morality scale, or just apathetic to any situation other than their own. Julia is the only main character who's truly good in this setting, and she's powerless to do anything other than score a minor victory now and then in-between getting tied up. In all, it's a bit easy to succumb to the Eight Deadly Words and just tune in to see who's getting tied up for this story.
