Line 33:
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: The fisherman Noah comes dangerously close to this. His village is a [[Wretched Hive]]. {{spoiler|His homeless friend dies. Most the people who stay as his guests are [[Ungrateful Bastard|ungrateful bastards]]. His house is blown up.}} He gets better after Zam and Dodola {{spoiler|help him rebuild it.}}
* [[Domestic Abuser]]: Dodola's husband slaps her for accidentally spilling ink on his work.
* [[Doorstopper]]: The story is almost 700 pages long. It's a comic, so reading it still shouldn't take long.
Line 68 ⟶ 70:
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Zam goes to a village marketplace to sell clean water, and a poor woman asks him to spare her some for free. His response is, "Well, it ain't free." Later, when {{spoiler|Zam is forced to survive on his own, he meets the same woman and asks her to spare him some food for free. Her response is the same one he gave her earlier, word for word.}}
* [[Ironic Nickname]]: The large and scary-looking bodyguard assigned to Dodola in the sultan's palace is named
* [[Karma Houdini]]: The men who rape Dodola in the dessert and kidnap Zam into the palace, respectively. {{spoiler|Whoever killed Dodola's [[Child by Rape|biological son]] Rajab is definitely an example.}} The sultan is worse than all of them combined.
Line 83 ⟶ 85:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Dodola, for sure.
* [[My Girl Is a Slut]]: Averted with Dodola and Zam. Both are traumatized by Dodola's past as a prostitute even though she only did it out of desperation. Played straight with the sultan, who {{spoiler|kidnaps Dodola because he hears about her amazing sexual skills.}}
* [[Nobody Poops]]: Horribly subverted with Dodola in 1 scene. {{spoiler|She catches a disease from [[Squick|accidentally swallowing sewage.]] At night, Zam takes her outside to vomit and poop at the same time.}} It may be the nastiest scene from the book.
