YMMV / Waverley

• Harsher in Hindsight: Waverley takes relationship advice from Charles Edward Stuart. This Wikipedia entry is fairly terse and limited on the topic, but the point remains. If you have a sick sense of humor, this is possibly Hilarious in Hindsight.
• Once Original, Now Common: Because the novel was the first historical adventure novel, it created many of the tropes of the genre.
