* SuperHumanTrafficking: A perfectly legal business in Skippercity. Felix becomes a major slave-owner of both supers and normal humans. But unlike most, he treats them more like valued employees than slaves. This ends in book 2, as Felix realizes that everything he has built can come crashing down if Skipper decides to outlaw slavery, so he has all his slaves become indentured servants instead, which is allowed not only in Skippercity but in the outside country as well.

** Averted in book 4, as Runner tells Felix straight-up that slavery is illegal in this new world. The only ones he'll be allowed to own are the women he brings with him, and only because they'll all have to be his wives. The idea of going back to indentured servitude doesn't even pop up in Felix's head, so it can be assumed that there are limits on that as
well.

** In book 4, Felix ends up in yet another world and is only allowed to bring 3 companions with him. He chooses Andrea (beastkin), Faith (dryad), and Goldie (dragon), although he deliberately orchestrates his departure to ensure that Miu would make Runner's life a living hell until he relented and sent her as well. One condition is that all four women become his wives, which they're all happy to do. They all sleep in the same bed, but he usually only has sex with one of them at a time. To him it's less about being in love with them and more about giving them all what they want.

** The world in book 4 is even more similar to ours, and it's heavily implied that it has just recently gone through a global pandemic that had a lasting economic impact and has made people wary about shaking hands. There's little to no magic and non-human races either don't exist or have gone extinct (e.g. dragons, beastkin). Then again, Felix learns that this world is on track to having its own MassSuperEmpoweringEvent in a matter of years.

** In book 4, Felix is dropped in yet another world that's even more like ours. There's barely any magic (at least for another 2 years until a MassSuperEmpoweringEvent), and while there are some non-human races, most of them are extinct (dragons, beastkin). Felix is only allowed to bring three companions with him (although he manages to get a fourth one through trickery), but everyone (Felix included) undergoes certain changes to their abilities. Felix's points no longer reset every day, allowing him to bank the points without them expiring. He also becomes able to modify himself. However, since slavery is illegal in that world, the only people he owns are the women he brings with him (and only if they're married), so he has to find another way to get points.

with.

In book 4, Felix is recruited by an overgod to take over another world that appears to be a lot more like ours and dropped there with only three companions two years before that world's MassSuperEmpoweringEvent. Felix's power undergoes a change, as well as the abilities of the companions that go with him.

** [[spoiler: Implied to be why Felix's power works and gets empowered on what he owns. The big meeting between Felix and one of Runner's nemisis' biggest lackies was because both ran the slave trade in alternate universes hinting that where the nemisis is slavery is pushed, which means Felix will have fuel for his powers, and the ability to foster goodwill.]]

** Even before that there were shades of this in the first book, with Andrea herself being a one woman harem, and being the only active attempt to get him in bed, as well as kit revealing Lily has feelings for him for being the first person to ever see her as another person and show it makes Felix uncomfortable about both. Those were the only two actively after him, but thanks to Andrea's openness about the subject, even going out of her way to announce it to others, the subject comes up enough to feel like this to Felix.

* RewatchBonus: After reading the second and third books going back to the first will have some subtle things that are made more important later. [[spoiler: Miyu's psychotic obsession rears its head twice in view of Felix but he doesn't notice since she's normal the rest of the time. The first is when he restores her after the attack on the warehouse while Felix is away, as saving her marks her mood as "Flustered" but he just assumes she's confused rather than quite possibly really dealing with her awkward feelings for him for the first time, and the second is when Kit tries to read her mind after Miyu makes a subtle show of possessiveness towards Felix, first almost breaking into her psychotic nature when he insists in putting himself in danger and she can't stop him and then when Kit picks up on the clues Miyu keeps Kit from reading her mind using a technique Miyu herself describes later.]]
** A small one [[spoiler: but during the daytime assassination apparently one of Felix's would be assassins had a clear shot at his head and somehow missed. At the time they declare it a miracle that he missed but it seems likely that Runner actually did preform a miracle to save Felix, as Runner's desire to stay hands off from Felix's struggles before gods get involved most likely stems from wanting him to become a more capable leader and the most daring and suicidal assassination attempt that otherwise would have worked from sheer audacity would have most likely been considered exempt from Runner's attempts to let Felix grow on his own.]]

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: late in the third book [[spoiler: Skipper breaks into the religious conference that Legion is contracted to protect trying to find and kill Felix. She starts killing hostages to try and get the others to spill where Felix is only to end up pissing off the priests so much they invoke their powers at once, which dooms their home planet by unleashing all the apocalypses at once and would have surely killed Skipper if she didn't have a dimensional portal generator in her pocket enhanced by another being like Runner, and in the end it even failed to kill Felix because after so many things went wrong he cooked up so many contingencies that he managed to escape and recover most of his people lost in the aftermath.]]

** Though Andrea is close to the classic attitudes of cat girls, being peppy and loyal, beastkin all have the same kind deal of "human skin and faces with some animal features". They also have a few [[FeralReminder Feral Reminders]] based on their species, but it's usually more to do reactions or physical contact, for example it's never brought up if a rabbit beastkin is vegetarian or prefers carrots.

* ButtMonkey: Defied, but it's always a close race. As the stories progress more and more people have it out for Felix and Legion, and a good 70% of that **isn't** his fault. It starts with the heroes guild, which is to be expected when he starts carrying around one of the most frighting villains as his personal laywer, but you learn [[spoiler: they actually were trying to kill him to break the slavery contract to get The Auger, Kit, back.]] From there it just increases in the numbers and influence of his enemies. By the end of the third book his enemies, past and present, include: [[spoiler: Various business factions. The Heroes Guild. Skipper City. The National Government. Skipper herself. Tielan and Wall's local government. powerful people at PhysicalGod levels of power (the creator and thus person closest to physical godhood is his ally which is the only thing that keeps things from getting out of hand). A group of skilled individuals that hop dimensions freely, and finally their boss who is implied to be similar to the above mentioned physical but acts more like the devil.]] Several of the listed are implied to have been turned against him by others on the list.

** It's also defied within Legion. Due to Felix being able to power up people and using his administrators to help make sure nobody gets dragged down then nobody really gets the title of "ButtMonkey" within the organization. They're either empowered to make sure it doesn't happen, or simply put somewhere that their existing talents and aptitudes can actually work respectably.
