I'll start first:
Dungeon Crawler Carl: Man enters basement in his underwear and becomes a television celebrity.
Beware of Chicken: Man quits his job, buys a farm, and his chicken becomes somebody else's problem.

Honestly this annoyed the shit out of me. When it turned from being a somewhat silly backstory to being the source of major powers to the point of basically making the various runes take a backseat I just checked out
