Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o! is a series of light novels that has been adapted into a manga and an anime. After his accidental death, the main character Kazuma is offered a chance to reincarnate to another world, where a hero is needed to defeat the evil Demon King. Kazuma is allowed to take one special thing with him , and he chooses the person making him the offer - the goddess Aqua.

So Kazuma and Aqua find themselves in a world that functions just like a roleplaying game, two among many hopeful low-level adventurers doing quests for money and XP. Soon two new girls join in, making for an adventuring party of four.

Tropes used in KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! include:

• Affectionate Parody: Of roleplaying games.
• An Adventurer Is You
  • Kazuma: The Jack of All Trades.
  • Aqua: The Healer.
  • Megumin: The Nuker.
  • Darkness: The Tank.
• Area of Effect: Megumin's Explosion spell.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: Between Kazuma and Aqua.
• Black and White Magic: Embodied by Megumin the Arch-Wizard and Aqua the Arch-Priest.
• Black Mage: Megumin. She specializes in explosions.
• Cast from Hit Points: Megumin's explosion spell apparently works that way. It is possible though that the spell simply takes more mana than a low-level character can have and the cost overflows to hitpoints.
• Character Level
• The Comically Serious: Megumin. She is very serious about explosions.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Affects everyone except Kazuma.
• Curse: Darkness gets hit by a curse that leaves her only a week to live. Aqua solves the dramatic situation with a quick and simple Remove Curse spell.
• Ecchi
• Elemental Powers
• Experience Points: Gained by killing monsters.
• Glass Cannon: Megumin can cast a high-level explosion spell... once per day, and then she is useless afterward. She refuses to put her skillpoints into anything that doesn't make her one spell better.
• Job System
• Level Grinding: Kazumi, Aqua, and Megumin grind on giant frogs.
• Making a Splash: Aqua is a goddess of water after all.
• Mass Monster Slaughter Sidequest
• Master of None: The Adventurer job. Kazuma makes the most of it.
• Min-Maxing: Megumin invests her all into being the best at explosions.
  • Darkness is built along those lines too, but she isn't actually trying to make herself powerful. In fact she wants to lose and be captured alive.
• Nice Guy: Kazuma.
• No Experience Points for Medic: The party chooses a quest involving undead just so that Aqua can use her Turn Undead ability and get some XP for once.
• No Hero Discount: The characters have a chronic lack of money. Justified because adventurers are so common in this world.
• Outside the Box Tactic: How Kazuma likes to solve things.
• Point Build System: Characters get new points every time they level up.
• The Red Mage: Kazuma builds his character this way.
• RPG Mechanics Verse
• Squishy Wizard: Megumin and Aqua, though Aqua at least is known to have very high physical stats. It's just that she's playing an Arch-Priest. Kazuma doesn't have much durability either.
• Stone Wall: Darkness puts all her skillpoints each level on improving her armor. This leaves nothing for improving her attack - or anything else for that matter.
• Support Party Member: Aqua's only real offensive ability is Turn Undead.
• Turn Undead: Aqua's special ability.
• Weaksauce Weakness: The demon general is vulnerable to the Create Water spell. It doesn't kill him outright, but every little bit helps.
• White Mage: Aqua.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: Darkness seems to think she lives in a hentai manga.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Aqua's hair is blue.
