Neon Genesis Evangelion: R/YMMV
- Creator's Pet: A few reviewers have commented that Lyn seems like an even more pathetic version of Shinji. While this might not be entirely fair as he has a few traits that set him apart, Lyn is a little too similar to Shinji for his own good, making him among the dullest characters. In spite of that, a great deal of the story is spent on him.
- He gets away with it though, because Aoi is cool.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: You wouldn't expect this in a fanfic of all things but The Human Complement is simply straight-up awesome. Some of the other tunes aren't half bad either.
- Magnificent Bastard: Gendo gets a full upgrade to this from Manipulative Bastard in Evangelion R , outmaneuvering Seele for most of the storyline and delaying The End of the World as We Know It for at least a few months.
- Tear Jerker: Quite a few, though nowhere near as many as the original series. Aoi's a big target for these, in particular her death scene in Prime.
- True Art Is Angsty: Possibly a major factor in Lyn's very existence.
- Wangst: It's Eva. What do you expect?
- The Woobie: Shinji, of course. And Asuka. But Lyn and Aoi take the cake for this, or at least try to.
