I mean, it's gotten to the point where in every chapter some new unimaginably awful thing either happens to Fay, or is revealed about Fay's past. And at this point, I'm just rolling my eyes. Tragedy must be doled out sparingly, or else it loses all of its meaning and impact. And Fay's tragedy has become so overwrought that it's lost all meaning. And it's descending dangerously into self-parody territory at this point, too. Not to mention the fact that Tsubasa has become so focused around Fay's tragedy-of-the-week that the other three main characters have been completely pushed to the background.
2. His I-hate-myself-and-want-to-die shtick is getting old. I can see why it infuriates Kurogane. And especially in light of what happened in the Tokyo arc, when Kurogane made a tremendous sacrifice in order to save Fay's life. And what does Fay do in return? Tries to be even more proactively suicidal than before. That's gratitude for you.
3. His bad posture makes my back hurt from just looking at him. ^^;;

Fay/Fai
1. There is a limit to how much tragedy can be piled upon one character. Even CLAMP usually observes that limit. Even CLAMP showed a modicum of restraint when writing the Angsty Tragic Stories of Subaru and Kamui. But Fay? In the most recent twenty chapters of the manga, so much tragedy has been piled upon him that it reaches the point of sheer fucking ridiculousness. And that's both in terms of what's happening to him in the contemporary plotline of the story, and in terms of what's been revealed in his past. And the worst part? Every single tragedy that Fay has been ground through is a boring-ass overused cliché. Vampires? Check. Suicide? Check. Self-mutiliation? Check. Cursed to kill Sakura? Check. Dead identical twin brother whose name he assumes? Check. And we still haven't even gotten to the what-the-hell-is-his-relationship-to-Ashura? part of the story yet, but I'm willing to be money, real actual genuine money, that it will involve an extremely twisted sexual component.
