Line 19:
** Justified in the case of female pharaoh, since she likes to flaunt her body.
* [[Beast Folk]] One of the girls comes from a tribe of orcs of the "rodentia" variety.
* [[Break The Haughty]]: Augie Terry has her haughtiness basically obliterated in her good ending, as the events of said good ending make her regret all the vain crap she pulled to get to that point. It also has the effect of watering down her [[Alpha Bitch]] attitude by a considerable degree.
* [[Character Archetype]] The girls in this story each cover specific examples of these. Nun, priestess, thief, jungle girl, spirit, etc.
* [[Coitus Ensues]] The common formula for each story is {{spoiler|meet girl, battle girl while seducing, and then once you've defeated her 3 times, this happens in the form of what is called "discipline mode", which although it varies for each girl, this is what it amounts to. The characters also have sex in the endings as well, at least in the good ones for certain, but sometimes the bad as well}}.
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
* [[Fixed Encounters]] The way each story works is that there's plot, then a puzzle fight, plot, puzzle, plot, puzzle, "plot", extra puzzle, and then either the "good" or "bad" ending for each girls' story arc.
* [[Good and Evil For Your Convenience]] The characters you "play as" in the stories aren't always good or always evil, but it's kind of obvious they all have one common end goal in mind regarding the girls they meet.
* [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]]: Invoked in the good ending for Augie Terry. Amusingly, it's realizing she's become the recipient of the trope that makes it a good ending, as all the horrible crap she did and intended to do before that point now doesn't look so fun in hindsight, meaning she lives but mellows out quite a bit.
* [[Hilarious in Flashback]] Some of the endings achieve this, but it depends on the order in which you unlocked them.
* [[Idiot Ball]] Some of the characters in the different stories like to toss it around.
* [[Jerkass Ball]] The stories sometimes paint the girls as a [[Jerkass]] or the player's character as one OR sometimes they have other characters who fill the roll, but rest assured there's one in nearly all the stories in some way.
** In Daisy's story, you can make the argument both her and the demon take turns with this trope.
** Yoko is clearly the victim of these in her arc, but the good ending gives her some ironic payback on them.
** Cai Yun's arc lacks any clear cut examples of any character being an outright prick, but you can make the argument all involved have their moments of acting out this trope.
** Neither Lin nor your character in her arc are this, but you can make an argument your player character dad is an asshat.
** Unita's story is a tad ambiguous. She's a bit of a jackass, but so is your main character, but considering the good ending has them falling for each other and being [[Happily Married]] at some point, it very well may have been a mutual [[Fetish]] for them.
** Ketsuno's arc make it understandable on both sides. She's a douche because she's a very confused [[Fish Out of Water]] and very little is being done to make that better for her. Your main character is one because she basically became his problem and while he'd clear up her confusion if he could, he lacks the context to do so.
** Augie Terry is a clear example of this trope, but she mellows out in her good ending. The priestess Selene is a milder example, but she has her moments, especially if you go for the bad ending.
* [[Karma Houdini]] Zigzagged in Augie Terry's ending. While she doesn't necessarily pay for all the crap she pulled prior, at least not directly, her good ending winds up making her go [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]] to her plans to turn into an immortal. The amusing reason why that is: {{spoiler|she basically had to have sex in front of her own ancestors, and she was so mortified they were getting off on watching her have sex with another woman she realized she'd be taking in the essence of the same undead that just got off to her to get what she was after}}, and that, ironically, killed her interest in power completely through a backhanded [[Break The Haughty]] sequence.
* [[Ki Attacks]] The Puzzle mode has "magic spell" gems which sometimes invoke this kind of a feel.
* [[Love Across Battlelines]] Seeing as you have to fight against the girls before you can get them to like you, it counts as this for each route pretty much.
Line 45 ⟶ 55:
* [[Under Siege]] The Bad Ending for {{spoiler|the 7th girl has her entire clan seemingly wiped out, her home burning around them, and her enemies overrunning her clan's former territory}}.
* [[Villain Ball]] The player's character sometimes, the various women sometimes, select random other characters in the stories.
* [[What an Idiot!]] The {{spoiler|male orcs in Unita's bad ending think that having a tiny penis is
* [[Wimpification]] Happens to a few of the girls, but then, you ARE battling them to defeat them 4 times.
* [[X Marks the Spot]] One of the combat gems is an X formed by 2 small swords.
