History YMMV / LookingForGroup

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Richard.

* 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.
** The problem is that either of those alone would be fine. But a strip that switches between serious drama and gag a day doesn't work. Anything that might be a twist, you'll start expecting is merely the set up or punchline to a joke. [[spoiler: Richard was revealed to be turning human and losing his power around the same time that the comic showed what is assumed to be him as a ridiculously innocent looking child. When an npc came that appeared to people as their ideal of innocence, it didn't reference that at all in Richard-Vision, it was just a big rose. Then after a few pages he was slaughtering baby animals and throwing dolphins at Cale because his power apparently runs of destruction of innocence. Set up for a plot twist, or set up for a joke? Who the hell knows now?]]

* VanillaProtagonist: The point of Cale's character is to be the standard hero in a cast of colorful and morality shifting characters.

* DesignatedProtagonistSyndrome: In contrast to the colorful, morality shifting cast, Cale can seem a bit of standard hero to a fault(though this is part of the point of his character). He does get more gray later on.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The series tends to rely on filler gag strips to pad out the chapters, however this means interesting sub-plots that are brought up, like Richard's headless body becoming sentient are solved within a few pages.

* 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. Some other readers think that [[UnpleasableFanbase its added silliness is the Shark Jumping over the serious story as of the 600 or so mark]].

* StrangledByTheRedString: The [[spoiler:Cale/Benny]] pairing came out of ''nowhere'' for a lot of fans.

* GrowingTheBeard: When the comic stopped being a ''WorldOWarcraft'' parody and developed its own universe.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Go on, guess who it is.

** One of the highlights - [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/591/ "That'll do, pig]]. [[Film/Babe That'll do.]]"

* AssPull: For a lot of people, the [[spoiler:pairing of Cale and Benny came right out of nowhere]].

* StrangledByTheRedString: The [[spoiler:Cale/Benny]] pairing came out of ''nowhere'' for a lot of fans.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds:
** Tavor's desire to erase the world's last bastion of hope (Kethenecia) from existence is fueled by the loss of his own nation.
** Richard might also be considered one, if you take into account the implications of [[spoiler:his forgotten past and how genuinely sad he seemed about it]]. Doubled [[spoiler:when you see his vision of Innocence (a large, near perfect rose like the ones he planted as a human child.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Cale and Richard getting most of it. Which it is depends on your point of view.
** Richard did like to kill things, and we all saw what happened with [[spoiler: that little boy and his village. And Richard's rabbit, though who knows if that was real compassion or just manipulation. But then again, he did heal Cale's neck when it was slashed]].
*** It's probably just Cale, considering he also had him resurrected after killing him.
** In-Universe, done deliberately to [[spoiler: Cale's wife so that he would leave her behind and [[WalkTheEarth begin wandering.]]]]

* MoodWhiplash: Courtesy of Richard. From a typical BloodyHilarious [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/474 battle]] to a [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/476 ruthless slaughter of innocents]] played dead serious.

* GannonBanned: Saying LFG is a [[WorldOfWarcraft [=WoW=]]] story on the forums. DON'T DO IT FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYONE YOU'VE EVER LOVED, for the amount of flaming you'll be a victim to will likely kill them too.
** It actually started out as a Warcraft parody, but instantly shifted into it's own world after the first page.
*** The mention of that sets them off too, by the way.

* 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.

* MoralEventHorizon: Richard.

** Now with reason. As much as I dislike the "We can't decide if we're going to advance the plot or make dumb gag strips" thing that went on with The Innocent, we can now surmise that the slaughter of innocents actually fuels Richard's power.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Tavor's desire to erase the world's last bastion of hope (Kethenecia) from existence is fueled by the loss of his own nation.
** Richard might also be considered one, if you take into account the implications of [[spoiler:his forgotten past and how genuinely sad he seemed about it]].
** Doubled for Richard [[spoiler: when you see his vision of Innocence (a large, near perfect rose like the ones he planted as a human child [[TearJerker Sniff]].]]

** Cale's [[spoiler:teacher at the monastery had one. Making Cale's beloved act as if she was having an affair with someone else to force him to cut his ties with the monastery and start on his mission?]] [[JerkAss Dickish]], but defendable. [[spoiler: Murdering said beloved afterwards to make sure there are no loose ends?]] [[CompleteMonster There can be no justification]].

** Doubled for Richard [[spoiler: when you see his vision of Innocence (a large, near perfect rose like the ones he planted as a human child [[TearJerker: Sniff.]]]].
