{{quote|''"Yeah, this is a story told from a first-person narrative, but I just happen to be one of those omniscient, third-person narrators. Now isn't that cool? (However, your answer is probably an unimpressed 'no'.)"''|{{spoiler|'''The narrator'''}}, opening paragraph. }}

A fantasy/parody [[Web Original]] [[Serial Novel]] on fictionpress.com written by a long-time [[TV Tropes]] lurker. While it only has twenty-nine chapters so far{{when}}, it is [[No Such Thing As Notability|noteworthy]] for the extensive use of tropes taken directly from [[Home Page|thisthe wiki]]. Makes numerous [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]s to ''[[Harry Potter]], [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'', and ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', and many more franchises.
 
The story revolves around a perfectly normal boy named Tagino Storp. One day, an [[Our Angels Are Different|angel]] named Arthur Avatar from another dimension accidentally opens a portal in his school. Tagino is then recruited by Arthur in the mission to destroy anything that might anger the [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Reader]] god, including [[Deus Ex Machina|Deus Ex Machinas]]s, [[Monsters of the Week]], and the worst of them all, [[Mary Sue|Mary Sues]]s.
 
Contains high concentrations of [[Invoked Trope|Invoked Tropes]]s, [[Parodied Trope|Parodied Tropes]]s and [[Lampshade Hanging]]. There is also a narrator, who is fully aware of the fact that s/he is in ana webpage and talks directly to the reader.

Line 56 ⟶ 55:
{{quote|''"Sues: Failed creations of the Writer (aka the Creator), Sues are seemingly perfect in every aspect. Angers the Reader very quickly and effectively. Because of their highly dangerous nature, destroy on sight. Distinguishable by strange hairstyles and/or hair color. "''|[[Lampshade Hanging|Arthur Avatar's Big List of Things That Might Piss Off The Reader]]}}
** [[Common Mary Sue Traits]] - Intentionally invoked. It appears that the author have taken the descriptions of the first 'Sue' to appear in the story from the [[Common Mary Sue Traits]] page.
{{quote|''"[[Common Mary Sue Traits|She had blue hair of the color of a clear sky, lined with black streaks like melted darkness. Her large, almond shaped eyes were silver colored, a perfect match for her perfectly perfect face. Her lips were the color of freshly-picked rose petals, and shimmered like rubies of the finest quality. There was an otherworldly, wonderful aroma about her that did not come with shampoo or perfume. She wore a revealing blouse made of the best silk and embroided with silver threads, along with a perfectly matching miniskirt. Her legs were wrapped in blue fishnets that matched her hair. If Fran was beautiful, then she was gorgeous. Her figure was so delicate, so waif-like, yet she had supple, D-cup breasts. She radiated a perfect aura of perfect perfection whereever she went.]] Her beautiful neck was adorned with a silver necklace embedded with the some of the best sapphire found on the planet, one of them the size of a chicken egg that glowed with magical (not Phlebotinous) energy. Earrings of the finest silver hand from her sensual ears. (If I had a lung, I would be gasping for air right now.) [[Purity Sue|A pure virgin of the purest purity]], [[Friend to All Living Things|she was a friend to all living things]]. In her right hand she held a beautifully crafted [[Katanas Are Just Better|katana]] decorated with the emblem of a serpentine dragon made of platinum, with an air of grace that surpassed all other. Her name was—If I had a lung, I would be inhaling, inhaling deeply—[[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign|Hikari]] [[Overly Long Name|Sapphyre Trinity Blyss Seafoam Venustus]]. "''|the narrator}}
** [[My Immortal|Ebony]] also makes an appearance as the ultimate Sue.
* [[Medium Awareness]] - The narrator.
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
* [[Seen It All]] - Ed sort of qualifies.
* [[Shout-Out]] - [[Harry Potter|Pigpimples Academy of Sorceresscraft and Sorcery]], ran by [[Harry Potter|Professor Dunderbore]]. Sound familiar to you? Also, the "ultimate Mary Sue" [[My Immortal|calls herself "ENOBY"]].
** [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Edvard Sparkleface]]. His face is so shiny that he needs a paper bag to hide it.
** The "Blatant Crossover" chapters are made of these, involving the characters crossing over into worlds wearing with [[Star Wars|iconic]] [[Final Fantasy VII|characters]] making [[Lawyer Friendly Cameos]].
* [[Significant Anagram]] - [[The Hero|Tagino Storp]] and [[Ms. Fanservice|Fran Sevice]], among others.
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* [[Summon Magic]] - [[Played for Laughs]] with Arthur, who (at first unsuccessfully) summons a horde of harmless giant coakroaches.
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]
{{quote|''"“Can’t.” “Harder!”“Still can’t!”“Harder!” awkward silence followed. "''<br />
--Arthur and Tagino, as Arthur teaches Tagino how to control Phlebotinum with his mind.<br />
''"“I do not acshept virgin shacrificesh! … Stop what you’re doing! I meant I don’t acshept human shacrificesh, virgin or not!” "''|Arthur, to his worshippers offering him a virgin sacrfice.}}
* [[Tin Tyrant]] - Lord Baldydork
