A while after your first version of these reviews went up, I read someone on tumblr say that every popular fandom ship consists of one character that fans like, and one character that they can tolerate enough to self-insert into to, and I immediately thought of this.
Oh that definitely rings a bell or two. Hardly just RWBY, but plenty of fandoms I've been in.
Something that was discussed on a discord server was the idea that it would have been interesting if all four characters hadn't necessarily read this book, some only knew it through cultural osmosis, or through a movie adaptation, and were a bit more clueless as to what was going on.
This indeed might've been pretty cool, and would've at least made learning about the fairy tail in-story (as opposed to constantly being spoonfed a recap of it via Blake) interesting. But then, it's not hard to come up with better versions of Miles' work so long as you put in any effort.
