Rance/YMMV
< Rance
- Audience-Alienating Premise: The protagonist is a Jerkass who isn't beyond resorting to rape on his Quest for Sex. Needless to say, there's a lot more to it than that.
- Crossing the Line Twice: Much of the humor is relies on rape and the eponymous protagonist being a Jerkass (though if he does occasionally have his Pet the Dog moments)
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Triples as Leitmotif and Real Song Theme Tune (of the East Germany national anthem) for My Glorious Days. A version of this song has been present since Rance II.
- The Rance games have had at least one other incredible piece starting from Kichikuou.
- Fetish Retardant: Some players will be too busy laughing or awed by the sex scenes to actually be aroused by them. Part of this is due to the Awesome Music that plays during most of them and the resulting Soundtrack Dissonance.
- Genius Bonus: How else would you recognize all of the Shout Outs?
- Magnum Opus: Definitely the one for Alice Soft.
- Older Than They Think: Since the first Fan Translated game is Sengoku Rance (Rance 7), many will be surprised to learn that the Rance Series has been around since 1989. Not to mention the games the series itself was spun off from, Little Princess and Little Vampire, which were made in 1987 and 1988 respectively.
- Squick: Due to Playing to The Fetishes being turned Up to Eleven, some may have this reaction.
- They Just Didn't Care: About the design of any Non-Cute Monster Girl Random Encounter. To quote

- What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?: Rance's penis is not a penis, but a HYPER WEAPON!
