Baskets' setting is basically what StandardFantasySetting should once become if not for MedievalStasis: [[FunctionalMagic magic]] [[MundaneFantastic is ubiquitous]] (magical ed is like university ed in this universe) and the whole technology is [[{{Magitek}} based on it]], [[AllMythsAreTrue loads of fantastic races]] have finally organized into a stable multiracial country (there's downright no FantasticRacism), and though [[FeudalFuture some traditions persist]], the society has become more enlightened and beraucratic.

The comic doesn't have a strict plotline. Author [[InteractiveComic takes suggestions]] from the readers, picking the ones he likes most, be it protoganists' choises, minor characters' appearances or complete plot twists.

Also, there is quite a bunch of well written [[AvertedTrope aversions]] and [[LampshadeHanging lampshadings]] of the StandardFantasySetting [[{{Cliche}} cliches]]. Author is kind of fond of this fact.

Currently russian only.

----
!!This story provides examples of:
* AbortedArc: Several, due to instability of the plot based on readers' suggestions. Siege of Maria's house in the Chapter 5 is the most notable, since it was actually written, but later replaced due to readers' complaints about how illogical it was.
* AndIMustScream:
* AffablyEvil:
** The Lich, for all the people!
** Anna seems to be a bit [[BloodKnight too enthusiastic]] about explosions and world domination, but she's still a cutie.
** None of the characters in the story [[BlackAndGrayMorality is actually good]], but many are sympathetic. The Butcher's Gang is a good example.
* AllMythsAreTrue:
** Racial variability is stunning.
** InUniverse at least some Gods are real (see GodOfEvil below).
* BigBad: The Lich can be considered one.
* BigGood:
** Pangreedi, the head of the Royal Secret Chancellory (or [[FunWithAcronyms RSC]]).
** [[TheHighQueen Queen of the Seven Kingdoms]] can also count. [[OurGiantsAreBigger She IS actually big]].
* BlackAndGrayMorality
* BlackMage: the Lich is only really proficient at necromancy and harming spells. It backfires several times.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: A possible reason why [[MushroomMan Myconids]] are at war with the Seven Kingdoms.
* DirtyCop: [[spoiler:Lt. Rikleeno, [[DaChief his chief]] and at least one of his collegues.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Anna. [[spoiler:At one point of the plot she and the Lich get separated. They join up only much, ''much'' later.]]
* TheDreaded: Pangreedi is described as "beast, not a human" with scars all over his face. [[spoiler:It turns out to be quite far from truth though.]]
* DungeonPunk: A shiny example. {{Magitek}}, widespread magical education, CityGuards in police uniform with heraldic badges and so forth.
* {{Familiar}}: [[YouDirtyRat General Creedy]] had a short career as a one to the Lich.
* FantasticRacism: Strongly averted.
* FishOutOfWater: The Lich. The world as he had known it has changed a lot after 300 hundred years.
* GasmaskMooks:
** [[YouKeepUsingThatWord Animalculists]].
** City Guard's special forces in the deleted arc.
** Soldiers sieging the hotel in the Chapter 7.
* GodOfEvil: It's implied that a raw [[DealWithTheDevil deal]] with certain Evil Goddess was the reason why the Lich have been hiding in a crypt for 300 hundred years.
* TheHighQueen: The unnamed jotun Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
* MundaneFantastic
* MushroomMan: Myconids.
* NiceHat: Part of the military uniform for wizards. Some civilians also sport them though.
* Onlyknownbytheirnickname:
** The Lich's real name is never revealed.
** Anna was unnamed for a good part of the story, so the readers come up with the nickname ''Kiki'' (short for [[NatureSpirit Kikimora]]).
** [[OverlyLongGag The Queen, the Daddy, the Butcher, the Druid...]]
* PosthumousCharacter: Richard Rosencliff, the [[OurGhostsAreDifferent previous owner]] of the Lich's [[BodySurf second body]].
* PredecessorVillain: Marasmir the Mad.
* PunchClockHero: every and all of the non-villanious characters are basically this.
* SquareRaceRoundClass:
** Mostly inverted. While it may be surprising at first (counting the absense of FantasticRacism), [[FridgeBrilliance if you think about it]], it's because each species took the societal niche it's naturally good at (for instance, four-handed barber). However, there are some notable exceptions.
** Queen is a jotun wizard. Absurdity is lampshaded by the Lich.
** Half-orc secret agent can also count.
* TheSlowPath: the Lich's voluntary 300 hundred years exile in a crypt.
* SupportingProtagonist:
** Lt. Rikleeno got his own small arc. [[spoiler:Later, he even joins the Lich for some time.]]
** Jacob Gardier.
** The male naga and female half-orc pair of RSC agents. Their storyline is closely connected to Jacob's.
* VillainProtagonist:
** The Lich may be kind of too lazy and ignorant to be a successfull villain, but he's definitely a ''villain''. Evil, no doubt about it.
** Anna is more like ChaoticNeutral though.
* WretchedHive: Ancard.
