The publication pace was also temporarily slowed down in late 2020 and early 2021 for the purpose of producing ''Webcomic/LovelyPeople''. Announcements made soon after the latter's publication included halting the production of ''City of Hunger''.

''Stand Still, Stay Silent'' was ended in 2022, as the author wished to move on to other projects.

* LethalChef: Mikkel is the CampCook. Everyone else complains about his cooking, despite this being a setting where decade-old canned goods are considered exceptional luxuries. Given what he is willing to add to the stew to pad out their rations, the complaints may be justified.

* OffModel: Minna's trouble with left-right orientation, combined with a tendency to forget small details in the design of recurring characters and objects, leave plenty of space for things getting drawn differently over spans ranging from different chapters to different panels on the same page.
** While Adventure I quickly settled for giving non-immunes somewhat translucent masks, the most seen non-immunes in Adventure II have solid-colored masks. As a result, for the sake of showing expressions, the masks are often drawn in a way that makes at least part of the face-covering portion appear translucent, or not drawn at all in circumstances where they should be worn.

** How characters are determined to be immune or not without being exposed to the Rash is not specified; but is implied to be by genetic testing, despite the limited medical resources outside of Iceland.

* TheUnintelligible: When Tuuri meets her first Dane, Emil warns her that their language is utterly incomprehensible. Tuuri doesn't see why, since she's seen some written Danish and it seemed close enough to Swedish for her to get the jist, but Emil tells her that while it's ''written'' similarily, the pronunciation sounds like they're talking with a fist in their mouth. True enough, when Mikkel introduces himself, Tuuri is left flabbergasted. TruthInTelevision, as written Danish is very similar to Norwegian and Swedish, but the pronunciation is completely different, making it a common joke in the latter two countries that Danes are utterly unintelligible.

* RidiculouslyPotentExplosive: Emil's would-be breaching charge, which [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=539 fits into the palm of his hand]], is filled with some sort of liquid explosive. It blows the door off its hinges... And [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=540 part of the house into the stratosphere]]. It's worth noting that Emil is typically carrying around enough of the stuff to blow up half a town -- so it's no wonder he wasn't allowed to bring his kit inside Mora at the start of the comic. It makes sense in ''some'' way for it to be this powerful though, given that the job of the Cleansers is to raze Old World buildings to the ground to clear out any trolls which might be nesting in them.
