* BerserkButton: You got something against clams, huh?
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Doll is rather cute and adorable, and is treated like everyone's little sister. But [[spoiler:when someone attacks Prince, she sets Bonds of Endless Torment on her, and in response to the protest of "Don't kill her, we need to question her," Doll deadpans, "Don't worry. She'll just suffer, she won't die. But her player herself will be in so much pain she'll wish she was dead."]]
** She gets pretty pissed too when [[spoiler:Wolf and Yulian]] are killed.

* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: Though Lan no longer remembers asking Zhou to marry her.
* CranialEruption

* {{CrossPlayer}}: The main characteristic of the protagonist.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: At the beginning of the game, Prince would be this.

* CurbStompBattle: A nice example is during the tournament arc - the Odd Squad do this to their opponent after eating some delicious roasted meat.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Miwa's BerserkButton

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Prince is just ''that'' pretty.

** Let's not forget "I must return this hair ribbon".

* FailedASpotCheck: Lolidragon fails these a lot.
* {{Fangirl}}: Wherever Prince goes, legions of fangirls follow. Then they get the bright idea to start the game's first band, starring all the Odd Squad's {{bishonen}}.

* LampshadeHanging: "Where'd that table come from?"
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Gui and Wicked, for starters.
* LoveTriangle: Prince is in one somewhere between a type 3 and type 7 with Gui and Wicked. He's initially irked by Gui's affection/under the impression that they're actually competing for Yang Ming, and later finds likable qualities in both and doesn't want to hurt either of them by picking the other.
** [[spoiler:She chooses Gui]]

* MiserAdvisor: Yu Lian
* MistakenForGay: [[spoiler:Gui pretends to act gay for Prince. Later, when Feng Lan overhears Gui and Zhuo talking out in real life, she thinks the two are in love with her brother. Further misunderstandings cause her to think her brother is in love with Zhuo.]]. Prince is also a victim of this, being surrounded by guys who love "him".

* MrFanservice: Prince, of course, for starters...There's also Kenshin, Arctic Fox, Gui...we'll just go with the entire male cast.
* [[spoiler: MisterSeahorse: In the epilogue, Gui reveals just how okay he is with the genderbending aspects of his relationship with Feng Lan; because she can't stand the thought of the pain of giving birth, he's the one who gets pregnant, so he can give birth to them for her.]]

* {{NPC}}: [[spoiler:Prince picks up two very powerful NPC allies during an unplanned excursion to another continent/server. They are self-aware, [[{{Foreshadowing}} hinting that]] [[AIIsACrapshoot something]] [[{{Foreshadowing}} deeper may be going on]] in the depths of the game.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname

* RedBaron

* SecretlyWealthy: [[spoiler: Doll is a princess, and Lolidragon is the President's daughter.]]

%%* {{Bishonen}}: The sheer number of them is astounding.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Wicked and Sunshine.

Feng Lang plays as the bloodthirsty elfin warrior "Prince", who just happens to be one of the most {{Bishonen}} beings ever witnessed. He soon acquires a large UnwantedHarem of both male and female admirers, a strange pet shaped like a meat bun, and a group of TrueCompanions. A surprising number of characters love him/her in a gender-confused way, and those who don't are pulled towards his honest and admirable personality (or to his unique and bloody skills on the battlefield).

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: 50 and counting.

* ADarkerMe: "Blood Elf" Prince [[RedBaron earns his title]] by being far more violent than Feng Lang is in Real Life, going over and above what you'd normally see in an MMO.

* HeroicAlbino: "Prince" is a textbook example, as Prince's quest to be a legendary hero is what drives the story.

Compare with ''Literature/{{Yureka}}''. Also see ''Literature/EclipseHunter'' and ''Literature/TheLegendOfSunKnight'', two other novel series by the same author.

* PronounTrouble: An epic case. Gui thinks Prince is male while Zhuo knows she's female. When they have a conversation in real life, they refer to Prince as "he" and "she" respectively without letting the secret out; while the third person pronouns in the written ChineseLanguage can properly distinguish genders, when spoken, they sound the same.
