History YMMV / HalfWorld

* EvilIsSexy: Slender, sensual Illana.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: At one point in ''Darkest Light'' White Cat gets angry at Gee and bites his leg. Gee rolls up his pant leg to check for injuries, to which Cracker responds by stroking his leg.
-->'''Cracker:''' Do you shave?
-->'''Gee:''' (drops pant leg) Ex''cuse'' me!

* EsotericHappyEnding: The ending to [[spoiler:''Darkest Light'' has the protagonists defeating Illana and sending her back to her cycle. While this supports the moral of "people need to face their past traumas and learn to overcome it", Illana has made it very clear that she does ''not'' want to accept her cycle and move on to Spirit. Sending her back is basically condemning her, and who's to say she won't return some day, even stronger and more terrifying due to being trapped in Half World for longer?]]

** The four girls in the archive in ''Darkest Light''. One of them has [[EyeScream gaping empty eye sockets]], the other is covered in bloodless cuts, the third's skin is saggy and bloated, like there's too much water underneath, and the last girl is covered in ''leeches''. Coupled with their childishness and what their Half Life consists of... brrrr...

** Ilanna's Half Life consisting of her getting thrown overboard by her lover, drowning while all kinds of sea creatures tear her apart and eat her, and this happens on repeat.

** The fact that, since the Realms are separated, people have been looping through their pain for ''so long'' they turned into BodyHorror MixAndMatchCritters with ImAHumanitarian tenancies.

* CompleteMonster: Mr. Glueskin. He threatens to flay Melanie's dad and force him to eat his skin every day if Fumiko doesn't return after 14 years, he terrorizes the people of Half World and eats them without regard, verbally and physically abuses Melanie ForTheEvulz, takes advantage of Fumiko while she's trapped in her trauma, and to top it off [[spoiler: it's implied that he was the one that separated the three Realms.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The Empathy Vampire only appears very briefly as {{Foreshadowing}} but otherwise isn't important to the story, it's kind of weird because nothing like it ever appears again throughout the book, and is never mentioned again.
