* IntrepidMerchant: Peddler was a traditional, adventuring hero who ended up stopping the demon lord not by slaying him, but by establishing trade with him. Nowadays, he regularly travels to the demon lord's realm to vend invaluable ingredients that can be used to make status ailment potions that the demons badly need.

** [[spoiler:Demon Lord]] (Alunt) in chapter 20 is either this or a HeroAntagonist, if his description of his homeworld is any indication: his realm is constantly invaded not only by human soldiers but also by monsters from Hell [[spoiler:that happen to be [[AlwaysABiggerFish far more sinister]] than anyone in his realm, himself included]]. However, he outright refuses to kill his opponents as much as possible, preferring instead to use sleep spells or teleportation to disable them. [[spoiler:Even after discovering that the king who summoned him as a hero knew all along that he wasn't a threat and [[HumansAreBastards only wanted him out of the way in order to expand the human kingdom]], he instead follows Battle Maid's advice to reform the human society.]] Still, his demeanor overflows with BlueAndOrangeMorality, seeing as he has no qualms with using mind control magic to make people tell him the truth.

** Invoked for Prince as, when Prince's Demon Lord saw him, she decided he was too attractive to let him age and die, so she spent all of her power forcibly making him immortal and turned to dust afterwards.

** One chapter focuses on a Japanese OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent heroine who is unaccustomed to violence, causing her to have issues with being at the forefront of a life-or-death struggle between two fantastic races.

* CatSmile: The Sage of the Forest often uses it when he comes up with silly ideas or is just plain confused.

* {{Bishonen}}: Prince, Scrawny Cheater, and the Holy Sword all have girls throwing themselves at them. Holy Sword loves it. The other two, not so much.

* OverprotectiveDad: Shopkeeper comes from a lineage of heroes. When his daughter winds up succeeding him and embarking on a quest to save the kingdom just like he did, he tries to secretly follow and protect her and makes a thread to document his progress. The male heroes in the thread sympathize with him, but Pilot, the only female in the thread, points out how annoying his actions are and that it's unfair that he doesn't trust his daughter to succeed like he did. She then showed up at the thread and point out she is not happy her father is this trope.

* CutenessProximity: Wandering Sword has it and it can be triggered by both LittleBitBeastly folks and {{Beast M|an}}en. She faints from a nose-bleed when a BeastMan hero touches her shoulder in chapter 26.

* DudeWheresMyReward: Freeter is hit with this hard. He completed many adventures (25 by last count). Yet whenever he completes the task, a portal to Earth appears and he goes back, nullifying his rewards which he gains from his achievements. Then Student points out he doesn't have to go back to his mundane world and suggests he pull an IChooseToStay when he finds a world he likes.

** A magical girl named Patissier Macaroon considers her frilly outfit, transformation phrase, transformation sequence, poses, and finishing move to be embarrassing. It doesn't help that she's a 20 year-old college student who got dragged into a ridiculous food-themed battle.

* ExpressiveMask: A variant with Student. He hasn't uploaded an image of himself to the forums, so he's represented as a box with a plain body, a mouth, and the words "Image Not Available" as its eyes. Even when he's cosplaying as an MGS cardboard box. He also uses a sock puppet with the same characteristics to communicate in a real world meeting.

** Student, the only hero who permanently lacks an avatar, is shown in-person at the end of Chapter 9 and in the face-to-face hero meetup in Chapter 27, but in both appearances his face is never shown.

* FarmBoy: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. When the kingdom in the Sky Garden universe was threatened by the demon lord, the destined hero from the countryside appeared to save the day. Unfortunately, he had been born so far out in the sticks that the kingdom wasn't aware about him and summoned a second hero from another world.

** Averted by and for [[Main/OlderThanTheyLook Legal Loli]]. She became immortal while still an early teen, and encourages a nine year old hero girl to become immortal too. Based on the discussion, she wants all female heroes to become immortal before they turn fourteen.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The solution to ThatOneBoss, as suggested by Prince. Sage must make a dungeon and stronger new pair of swords, then inform the heroes of the dungeon and swords so they can defeat the Demon Lord (who he'd previously given a similar sword to, in order to justify needing two heroes to take the Lord down, as it's only level 5).

* JustAKid: That nine year old girl? She defeated the dark lord of her world... ALL ON HER OWN!!! Some of the thread's participants are impressed that a hero so young was able to accomplish such a feat.
* KidHero: The nine year old who, all on her own, defeated the dark lord of her world. An exceptional example in a multiverse full of young heroes.

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Waitress and her priest companion. She is a tomboy waitress who came out of the slum by hard work and will power, and he is a shy LovableCoward WhiteMage who also happens to be the TokenGoodTeammate of a CorruptChurch. Waitress ended up as the one who gave the marriage proposal and DeclarationOfProtection in their journey.
* {{Masquerade}}: Detective's version of earth has this. Detective himself is the hero of what would be an ordinary crime drama without any supernatural elements, but a TransformingMecha and a [[Franchise/KamenRider Kamen Rider-esque]] superhero are both from the same dimension. The latter is even from his planet.

* NoNameGiven: Several heroes remain unnamed because they don't bother giving themselves a handle when they post in the forums. They're known only by the generic title given to all first time users, "Hero". Except Magical Maid, that is. She states her name but other heroes, especially Student, prefer to use the handle-name.

** The iconic ''Dragon Quest III'' hero outfit appears frequently, including on the hero Magician maid rendered obsolete and the 9 year-old hero who was offered immortality.

** Scrawny Cheater, full stop. Before he was summoned he was just an average looking college student who did not know how to talk to girls. When he is summoned, as part of his "cheat", he is made incredibly good looking. Now he is the subject of intense female interest, and hates it. Even worse, women who are around him too long tend to pass out due to how attractive he is. After he went back home, even ''his own mother'' is attracted to him.
** Yenly Hero has it worse: a self-described short, fat otaku with zero experience with women was summoned into the world of Yenly...the problem is that the mechanic there is possession, and he possessed a body of a stunningly beautiful woman whose body was even enshrined and worshipped. He/she had to fight off massive amount of attraction by the other males in the world, including his/her own companions (all of whom are male) because the king in the world started the whole mess by wanting to sleep with him/her which inspired the others to follow suit (normally it would be forbidden).
* StockLightNovelHero: A DeconstructedTrope with the Hero of Estrard. Summoned in to fantasy world in MedievalStasis? Check. Given a magic sword that turns its wielder into an InstantExpert? Check. Surrounded by a BattleHarem of beautiful and powerful companions? Check and check. Is this an ideal situation for the hero? Hell ''no''. [[spoiler:Medieval setting means medieval, classism-filled ValuesDissonance where everybody looks down on a commoner hero. Being made instantly capable of fighting doesn't make you psychologically prepared to take lives left and right and the OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent doesn't ever get used to it.]]\\

And the worst part is yet to come: [[spoiler:Everything was set up to ShootTheShaggyDog. Estrard doesn't have a tradition of summoned heroes because the upper classes conspire to ''kill them'' once the kingdom is saved out of fear of their resulting fame could change the political status quo and then they censor their accomplishment from history. The Hero Union quickly interferes to get the summoned heroine out of that mess.]]

** The series is full of them, and their problems are {{Discussed|Trope}} in great detail, since several of the board's threads are created by these freshly summoned heroes seeking help or advice from veteran heroes.

* {{Telepathy}}: The BBS is designed to be accessible telepathically, because not all worlds have computers to do it conventionally.

* ThatOneBoss: Accidentally {{Invoked|Trope}} when the Sage of the Forest gives the under-leveled demon lord a powerful magic sword to keep the two heroes from easily wiping him out. Thanks to stress induced sleep deprivation, Sage makes the sword too strong, resulting in the demon lord becoming far too powerful for the heroes to handle themselves.

* TranslatorMicrobes: The BBS automatically does this, since the creators knew that language barrier can be a problem, given how diverse where the heroes are from.

** [[spoiler:Demon Lord]] (Alunt) in chapter 20 is either this or a HeroAntagonist, if his description of his homeworld is any indication: his realm is constantly invaded not only by human soldiers, but also by monsters from Hell [[spoiler:that happen to be [[AlwaysABiggerFish far more sinister]] than anyone in his realm, himself included]]. However he outright refuses to kill his opponents as much as possible, preferring instead to use sleep spells or teleportation to disable them. [[spoiler:Even after discovering that the king who summoned him as a hero knew all along that he wasn't a threat and [[HumansAreBastards only wanted him out of the way in order to expand the human kingdom]], he instead follows Battle Maid's advice to reform the human society.]] Still, his demeanor overflows with BlueAndOrangeMorality, seeing as he has no qualms with using mind control magic to make people tell him the truth.

* ExpressiveMask: A variant with Student. He hasn't uploaded an image of himself to the forums, so he's represented as a box with a plain body, a mouth, and the words "Image Not Available" as its eyes. Even when he's cosplaying as an MGS cardboard box. Taken UpToEleven when he uses a sock puppet with the same characteristics to communicate in a real world meeting.

* TheManBehindTheMan: Taken UpToEleven. Every single time Oracle Hero defeats a demon lord, there's always another "true" demon lord allegedly pulling the strings. In the end, he ends up slaying a grand total of 103 demon lords. [[spoiler:The true perpetrator of the entire fiasco is a god who was trying to dispose of a excess amount of demonic energy by mass producing a bunch of demon lords.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: With the exception of Student, the active and retired heroes who post in each thread differ with each chapter, though some heroes participate more often than others.

* AllWomenHateEachOther: The all-female party of Chapter 4 are haughty and rank each other based on class, [[spoiler:and give enough shit to their equally female leader that the Union Force Returns her out of concern.]] The male-female duo that save the world in their place get along far nicer.

** [[spoiler:Prince]] is a special case; instead of being offered immortality like most heroes do when they defeat the Demon Lord or other threat, he was cursed with it against his will. He isn't happy about it because he lost his chance to succeed the throne as a result.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Taken to a [[ExaggeratedTrope ridiculous degree]] with Oracle Hero. Everytime he thinks he's beaten the final demon lord, it turns out that there's yet another one to defeat. This trend continues for about 25 years and spans 103 different demon lords.
-->'''Every single demon lord he defeats:''' You may have defetead me, but the true *insert new demon lord title here* demon lord still remains, you cannot stop the calamity!
