* EngagementChallenge: Anastasia’s father demands that Allen make some great achievements so that he can be worthy of her.

* OffWithHisHead: The King of Centralen is that kind of King, and him doing this to Anastasia’s father doomed the capitol to be burnt down in the game timeline.

* SecretShop: The shop where Allen buys his Alchemy scroll is apparently a black market magic shop.

* SimpleSolutionWontWork: During the condemnation event, [[MoralityChain thanks to Allen's presence allowing Anastasia to keep a cool head]], Anastasia refused to be baited by the crown prince's insults or cancel the engagement. Her response to Karl insulting her family is merely threatening to complain to her father for the grievances, [[CowardiceCallout which Amy and Karl see as cowardly]]. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere When Anastasia ignores their taunts and prepares to leave]], [[ThatsAnOrder Karl implicitly orders her to challenge Amy]]. [[TrapIsTheOnlyOption Unable to refuse a direct order]] [[MyCountryRightOrWrong from the crown prince]] [[OffWithHisHead without getting executed]], [[ThrowingDownTheGauntlet Anastasia half-heartedly tosses her glove at Amy]].

* TwerpSweating: Anastasia’s father insists to Allen that the two be JustFriends.

* VillainBall: Amy could've just enjoyed the high life with the handsome princes without antagonizing Allen or Anastasia. Her obsession to get Ana abducted, raped and killed makes her mortal enemies with the Ramsletts and Allen.

* CrazyPrepared: Much of the first half of the story before he enters high school has Allen spending seven years preparing every way he needed to circumvent Anastasia's condemnation event. [[HijackedDestiny This included stealing several scrolls years before anyone else would think to get them]], [[Magitek crafting guns and planes powered by wind magic]], and [[LevelGrinding training as an adventurer to gain power and money to qualify for the school]].

* TheDulcineaEffect: {{Downplayed}} and {{Justified}} with Allen. Allen managed to get to know Anastasia over the school year, so he's not unfamiliar with her. The Justification comes from the fact that Allen, acting on his foreknowledge of what happens in the game if Anastasia's condemnation event goes as planned, [[SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld seeks to protect her and the kingdom]].

* PapaWolf: Duke Gerald Von Ramslett, [[DaddysGirl at the request of Anastasia]], looks into Allen's case [[ThePardon and gets him pardoned in less than a week for the duel]]. [[BigGood He becomes Allen's main sponsor]], [[BoyfriendBlockingDad but he is worried about how close the two are]].

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In the game timeline, a FallenPrincess Anastasia is supposed to be corrupted by an ArtifactOfDoom and become the FinalBoss on one of these. [[spoiler:Allen goes on a rampage through the Est Empire’s capitol to rescue her from this fate.]]

* TraumaCongaLine: Anastasia in the original Otome game, full stop. [[AltarDiplomacy Engaged to Crown Prince Karl at eight years old]], [[GrowingUpSucks Anastasia was forced to grow up early]], [[WiseBeyondTheirYears learning etiquette]] [[PoliticallyActivePrincess and politics]] [[ToughLeaderFacade to make herself worthy of becoming the future queen]] for a fiancé [[UnwantedSpouse who didn't want to spend time with her at best]] [[AwfulWeddedLife or despised her at worst]], [[MyCountryRightOrWrong but she does so for Centralen]].

As the school year progresses, Anastasia, [[StockShoujoBullyingTactics due to her friends' actions]] [[RageBreakingPoint and her occasional ill-timed]] [[MomentOfWeakness moments of lashing out against Amy]], [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating grows increasingly unpopular]]. At the end of the school year, [[ChildMarriageVeto Prince Karl publically annuals his engagement to Anastasia]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and denounces her as an uncomprehending woman with a rotten character unworthy to be the future queen]]. [[ATragedyOfImpulsiveness When Anastasia angrilly]] [[ThrowingDownTheGauntlet challenges Amy to a duel]], [[DidntSeeThatComing she's caught off guard when]] [[CombatByChampion Prince Karl and the four other]] [[LoveInterest CaptureTargets]] [[TheDulcineaEffect all champion Amy]].

[[ReforgedIntoAMinion Transformed into the Est Empire's]] BlackKnight, Anastasia leads the Est Empire's war effort in a vicious RoaringRampageOfRevenge [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed that destroys Centralen's capital]], and as the FinalBoss [[TragicMonster her story ends with her dying like a rabid dog]] [[UndignifiedDeath at the hands of the people responsible for ruining her life]] and HatedByAll.

* {{Elopement}} [[spoiler:While Allen and Anastasia are told to and consider doing this completely at the elf village summer festival and stay there, in actuality they did get married there, only to come back with Allen getting away with an EngagementChallenge.]]

''Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess no Matter What!'' is a WebSerialNovel series, with a LightNovel and {{Manga}} adaptation. An {{Isekai}} about a young man who [[MediaTransmigration finds himself in]] a girl’s RomanceGame his sister made him play, only as an insignificant side-character. To protect his mother and friends from the consequences of the game plot, as well as out of sympathy for the game’s tragic villainess Anastasia von Ramslett, Allen builds up his strength to be able to defend Anastasia's honor and prevent her fall into darkness as a GadgeteerGenius, StealthExpert and MageMarksman adventurer. Allen's biggest obstacle comes in the form of Amy, the heroine of the game, and her ManipulativeBitch plans to get in the way of the two’s budding romance…

* AKA47: Allen’s Russian styled guns.

* DecapitationPresentation: [[spoiler:Allen presents the head of the Est Empire Crown Prince and Mage Commander to the Duke, who then presents them to the King after the King predictably demanded Allen offer him a head as an impossible request.]]

* EmotionalPowers: When Anastasia is angry, her AnIcePerson powers cool the room.

* AndYourLittleDogToo: Both Anastasia and Allen get told this about each other by antagonists.

* StalkerWithoutACrush: Allen stalking Anastasia to protect her from Amy, though the romance does develop.

* StandardHeroReward: The King offers the prospect, amongst other rewards as part of his impetuous UriahGambit to try and get Allen killed out of petty anger. [[spoiler:He goes back his word even after Allen satisfies the additional conditions. But Duke von Ramslett is crowned King of his own separatist Kingdom and does grant Allen his daughter’s hand.]]

* SympathyForTheDevil: Allen was sympathetic to Amy at first because he knew about her past from the games. She was the commoner child of a baron and his mistress, but because she knew healing magic, was adopted by him and made his heir. She was suddenly thrust into the cutthroat world of nobility despite her upbringing, which led to her being bullied and ostracized by the rest of the school. Allen figures she must be using her charms and flattery to get close to Karl and his entourage, hoping to use their status and connections to survive the kingdom's DecadentCourt. However, any sympathy he had for her went out the window once he confirmed that Amy is also reincarnated like him. Unlike the Amy from the games, this Amy has knowledge of the future, including the fact that their kingdom will be destroyed by war if she tries to obtain the reverse harem ending, but she goes for it anyway ignoring the consequences.

* ThemeNaming: The countries named in the setting have their direction in their name--Norsane is in the North, Westerdale is West, Est is east, Xaus is south and Centralen in the center.

* TwerpSweating: Anastasia’s father insisting to Allen that the two be JustFriends.

* WholePlotReference: The plot structure of the first volume of ''Literature/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobs'' is lifted whole cloth, before things diverge. For instance, Amy and the five idiot princes are {{Expy}} in character role to Marie and her five idiots. The biggest differences being Allen's much nicer personality, the lack of LadyLand, and lack of harem elements.
* WhoWritesThisCrap: A couple times Allen wonders what kind of girl’s dating sim would have such perverted elements like a fertility charm in an Orc cave…
* WillfullyWeak: Allen hiding his accomplishments and inventions so as not to draw too much attention to himself. We see later in the story that, indeed, using those things freely leaves a big political impact.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Anastasia and her friends don't bully Amy like they did in the games. Thus, Amy resorts to destroying her own stuff, and lying to her reverse harem that Anastasia did it to recreate events from the game where they come to her rescue.

* MommasBoy: Allen is very much devoted to his loving mother, who is the only family he has.

* MommasBoy: Allen, which makes sense given his mother is the only family he has and always loving towards him.

** This is how Allen’s 1 on 5 duel with the five princes goes, serving to humiliate and politically marginalize them. He feels like he went to far, but he had bottled up rage from not being able to talk to anyone for a year in class.

* CharmPerson: The Witch of Envy blessing grants this.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: The first part of the story is a WholePlotReference to ''Literature/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobs'', though one of the key differences being that Amy is a less sympathetic version of Marie. Both are fans of an otome game they get reincarnated into, and they both seek to obtain the reverse harem ending and live out lives of luxury, but get stopped by the protagonist, and go through several BreakTheHaughty moments. Marie eventually saw the error of her ways and pulled a HeelFaceTurn, and even before that, she had her fair share of PetTheDog moments. On the other hand, Amy remains a HateSink, as shown with her obsession with making sure Anastasia gets raped, and eventually becomes the BigBad.
* CultureClash: Allen being from poor serf stock, whom aren’t even allowed to leave their hometown without an adventuring license, clashes with the pampered RoyalBrat types within the academy. The Crown Prince even makes an exhibition on how great peasant life with is excessively rose-tinted.

* RebornAsVillainessStory: The main is reincarnated as the titular "mob/villager A", with his ultimate goal being to protect himself and his mother by saving the villainess and her family, without whom the Kingdom would be doomed.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Amy with her god complex. To a lesser extent there are the Crown Prince Karl, and King.
* ItsAllMyFault: Allen feels this way [[spoiler:about Anastasia’s kidnapping.]]

* MommasBoy: Allen, which makes sense given his mother is the only family he has.

* ArrangedMarriage:
** Anastasia starts out set up in one of these with the Crown Prince who barely tolerates her, before eventually hating her. That is until the condemnation event. After this, her father warns Allen multiple times that the couple must keep their distance so as not to ruin a replacement arrangement.

* MistakenForCheating: Allen being seen carrying the child Miri starts rumors that he had a bastard.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Allen carrying around a small child, Miri, earns him glares and rumors assuming he had a bastard.

* StandardHeroReward: The King offers the prospect, amongst other rewards as part of his impetuous UriahGambit to try and get Allen killed out of petty anger. [[spoiler:He goes back his word even after Allen satisfies additional conditions. But Duke von Ramslett is crowned King of his own separatist Kingdom and does grant Allen his daughter’s hand.]]

* StupidEvil: The five idiot princes, and the King.

* WolfInSheepsClothing: Amy’s act of pretending to be like the game protagonist.

* EvilCostumeSwitch: Anastasia gets dressed up by other villains in a risqué outfit for her roll as the BrainwashedAndCrazy FinalBoss.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The countries named in the setting have their direction in their name, Est is to the east, Centralen in the center, etc.

* GainingTheWillToKill: There is an arc about how being unwilling to kill bandits is the greater evil, making Allen feel responsible for their later crimes of kidnapping. This results in Allen being less naive. Later, Allen gets even more desensitized once he starts a one man strategic bombing campaign.

* HypocriticalHeartwarming: The perverted Great Sage going to great lengths to protect children… despite the RunningGag of him being a shameless CovertPervert with them.

* LargeAndInCharge: Anastasia’s gorilla looking father Duke Gerhard von Ramslett.

* LoveEpiphany: [[spoiler:Happens to both Allen and Anastasia as they fly together to the elf summer festival.]]

* IShallTauntYou: Amy tries to taunt Anastasia and Allen into physical violence to get them into trouble on multiple occasions.

* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: [[spoiler:The final fate of Amy, after bragging about sending Anastasia to be gang-raped so often, is to be sold off as a SexSlave who's TheSpeechless.]]

* TheVonTropeFamily: The major Noble houses like the Van Ramsletts. Other names tend to be German as well.

* RefugeInAudacity: Allen [[spoiler:Marrying, having sex with, and then putting a ring on Anastasia, before talking his way out of punishment with her BoyfriendBlockingDad and managing to hide their marriage from the public despite them both wearing rings on their wedding band fingers.]]

* SoMuchForStealth: A mission that Allen runs starts as this, [[spoiler:rescuing Anastasia from the Est Empire, but he has to fight his way out with her.]]

* StandardHeroReward: The King offers the prospect, amongst other rewards of this out of his impetuous UriahGambit to try and get Allen killed out of petty anger. [[spoiler:He goes back his word even after Allen satisfies additional conditions. But Duke von Ramslett is crowned King of his own separatist Kingdom and does grant Allen his daughter’s hand.]]
