* BrokenBase: There are three kinds of LFG fans: The fans who got into the comic after CerebusSyndrome set in, the kinds who think it JumpedTheShark after CerebusSyndrome set in, and the kind who like the comic either way.


Added DiffLines:

* JumpTheShark: Some parts of the BrokenBase think it did this after the switch to a more serious story. This isn't helped by the consistent-yet-slow schedule of the comic, although [[ArchiveBinge Archive Binging]] takes the sting out of most pacing problems.

Added DiffLines:

* DracoInLeatherPants: Richard gets both kinds. Yes, he's a dangerously AxCrazy HeroicComedicSociopath, but he's so gosh-darn [[LaughablyEvil funny]] that the fans often overlook it. And lets not even start on his [[NightmareFetishist fangirls]]...

Added DiffLines:

* MagnumOpusDissonance: Sohmer's first work, ''LeastICouldDo'', is far more [[LoveItOrHateIt divisive]] than LFG, which started out as a goofy AffectionateParody of ''WorldOfWarcraft'' and ''DungeonsAndDragons'' he did for fun. LFG has become far and away the most popular of his works.

This trope has been cut.


* AntiShippingGoggles: [[spoiler: Some of the opposition to the Cale/Benny pairing immediately after the WhamEpisode was astounding in its FridgeLogic. Explanations against it ran the gambit from [[AllJustADream It Was All A Dream]] (Richard's dream no less...) to [[ShapeShifting Evil Shapeshifting]] [[HoneyTrap Assassin]].]]

The trope means they hate it -because- they think it copied something. It is not to be used to actually accuse him of copying, or to add your own opinion that it sucks because they copied something.


* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Sohmer's {{hatedom}} have found [[PuttingItMildly a couple]] of similarities between this webcomic and EightBitTheatre.

** Starts around the end of the flashback in [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/211 page 211]] and extends through the following two pages. Note that page 212 was actually put up on Christmas Day 2008.
** Also, in the [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/241 241st]] strip, Cale grabs an arrow in midair and then flings it back with enough force to pass through the skull of the archer. Without missing a beat.
** The [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/253 253rd]] comic...Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.
** [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/280 This]]. Also something of a heartwarmer.

** Richard is an ass. [[http://lfgcomic.com/page/332 Literally]].
*** Pretty much everything Richard does, but 332 takes the cake so far. Might also be FetishFuel for some of the crazier fangirls.

if the natter is true, he really not qualifies to Complete Monster, this page is already ymmv


* CompleteMonster: Richard is a HeroicSociopath who CrossesTheLineTwice. As funny and oddly naive as he can be sometimes, it's impossible not to consider him one when you find out that [[spoiler:his nigh invulnerability]] is not innate, but is [[spoiler:the result of intentionally murdering innocents for power]]. No matter how much character growth he gets or how much we find out about how and why he became what he is will be able to erase that.
** Richard [[{{YMMV}} POSSIBLY]]doesn't qualify, considering his evil is rarely played serious. That, and he does view Cale as his friend, meaning he has SOME altruistic qualities. Richard is more EvillyAffable than anything.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Much criticism has been levied on the comic's switch from easygoing fantasy-parody comedy to a more dramatic story with elements of humor. The main character, Cale, has had a recent extended flashback sequence that is working to fit the ludicrously light-hearted Cale of the very first strip into the full canon.

* FridgeBrilliance: Benny has spent less time in battle compared to the other characters ever since she and Cale started their relationship when before, she was one of the major combatants.
