** At least in the Korean fandom, Makara is quite popular; notably, when the author was open to answering character trivia questions, a lot of them were for Makara.
** For someone who appeared in only a handful of chapters and one side story, Kinnara [[spoiler:(specifically, who she was before becoming "Airavata")]] has several fans, along with a fair amount of fanworks of her.

** While more of a BaseBreakingCharacter than universally disliked, the reveal of Chandra's HiddenDepths and his surprisingly noble actions leading up to [[spoiler:his death in Season 3]] won over some fans who hadn't been impressed with his vicious pragmatism up until then. It helps that he's one of the few characters explicitly against the Primeval Gods--an assessment that fans found themselves agreeing with more and more as the series went on, making his objective (even if not his methods) increasingly sympathetic [[spoiler:posthumously after his death]].

* {{Starboarding}}: Kinnara and Airavata weren't particularly prominent as a ship when their dynamic was first revealed [[spoiler:as Kinnara killing Airavata and taking her name]]. However, the bonus chapter that revealed that [[spoiler:Airavata was secretly in love with Kinnara]] caused the ship to increase in popularity, even with or ''because'' of fans knowing exactly how things ended for the two.

** In Season 3, Gandharva shifted from being fairly popular to this, as more of his past atrocities came to light. Either you see him as a nuanced take on TheAtoner who exemplifies the moral ambiguity of the series or as completely irredeemable and that any attempts to make him sympathetic fall short. May or may not be an IntendedAudienceReaction, considering that in-universe opinions of him tend to cover a similar range.
** You'll find a lot of fans who wish Chandra would shut up every time he appears, due to his tendency to piss other characters off and/or be cruel to them, including those beloved by the fandom. You'll also find a lot of fans who [[JerkassHasAPoint find his ruthlessness understandable]]. Or, even if they don't necessarily agree with it, appreciate the complexity of his character, as fans ''will'' generally agree that for all of his dickishness, he's one of the few characters unambiguously out to protect the universe and therefore acting selflessly in his own way.

* WoobieSpecies: Just about each one, in their own way, with the suras and gods coming in JerkassWoobie flavor. No one gets to be happy in the ''Kubera'' universe.
** Humans: Essentially doomed to be the punching bags of suras and gods alike, and used as pawns in the cosmic war. It's worse when their history is revealed, as [[spoiler:the ancient human race were essentially perfect and wiped out precisely for it, with the current humanity actually ''designed'' to be unable to stand up to the "superior" species]]. It's little wonder that numerous humans who come to realize the gods' true nature end up embittered with their role in the universe.
** Suras: Despite their penchant for rampant slaughter, it's easy to pity their species as a whole, living in a society stuck in a vicious dog-eat-dog cycle (literally, at times) where only the strongest survive. The rakshasas (and below) have it especially rough, given that they must answer to the nastikas who tend to make for [[AbusiveParents terrible, potentially murderous parents at worst]] [[ParentalNeglect and apathetic at best]]. The reason most suras aren't kind or empathetic is because they weren't raised to be so, and because those are qualities that will almost certainly get them killed in the long run.
** Gods: They seem to have it the best, lacking humans' weakness and the suras' depressingly violent circumstances. On the other hand, they're designed specifically to oversee the universe, and one can interpret a large part of their uncaring attitude, after billions of years of this and unable to escape from their duty, as them being horribly ''burned out''. The nature of enlightenment makes it worse, as the way it's described and depicted makes it come across as severe depression more than anything else, with no way to endure but to literally throw away their grief (and, in the process, their compassion) given that even death isn't an option for them.
