Cucumber Quest/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The Oracle: I don't have time to spend interrogating every "Legendary Hero" who walks in here!
Cucumber: But- But that's just stupid!

  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Almond might as well be the main character at this point.
    • This was one of the few criticisms that the story focuses on the competent and brave Almond who has shown she was skilled with a sword and saved Cucumber's life, even though the comic was called Cucumber Quest. Chapter 1 seems to focus on Cucumber, and he has recently managed to finally show the audience what he can do with magic, and it is powerful.
      • The Scrappy: Response to Almond's return in Chapter 1 was... not kind.
  • Unfortunate Implications: Played with though never really shown overtly, the assertions that Cucumber must be the hero and Almond is just his sister is fairly sexist. Gigidigi however is satirizing the conventions of the genre, not actually sexist herself.
