* RatedMForManly: The men's physiques are ripped and it's surprising that they're playing tennis with the size of their bodies.

* SurpriseCreepy: In Spencer's route, [[spoiler:the moment where Eric finds himself being molested by a stranger]] is very jarring compared to the lighthearted slice of life tone of the novel up until that point.

* ThemedHarem: All of the characters have different personalities but they are all on the same school tennis team.

'''The novel and all links posted here are NotSafeForWork.'''

* TokenHuman: Defied. They're outnumbered 100 to 1 it seems, but they exist.

* {{Adorkable}}: Practically the whole cast, but the most prominent are Eric, Coach, and Chester.

** During Dozer's route when he suggests visiting the sauna for the first time stream prevents Eric from seeing anything beneath his towel. The second time on [[MaleFrontalNudity the other hand...]]

* PettingZooPeople: Should go without saying and seemingly applies to the vast majority of the population in the setting.

A SliceOfLife visual novel where a [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent CrestHaven University student]] named Eric is the only human on the tennis team and gets to explore a relationship with one of his anthropomorphic teammates; [[ProudToBeAGeek Chester the bull]], [[ChildhoodFriend Spencer the husky]], [[TheQuietOne Dozer the dragon]], [[ChivalrousPervert Darius the lion]][[note]](Originally, there was only going to be 3 characters: Grifter, Chester, and Spencer. Dozer and Darius were created about a year later and is the reason why they have less days than the original three.)[[/note]], or even [[TeamDad Coach Grifter]], the tennis coach who is literally a bear. The creator has stated that more characters might be added in the future.

* AfterActionPatchUp: Happens over a few routes, usually the result of a tennis injury.

* CensorSteam: Can occur early in Grifter's route should Eric choose to peak on him in the shower where steam and water cover most of his rear.

* OperationJealousy: Appears to be a favored tactic for Darius when setting Eric up with someone.

* PsychoExGirlfriend: More accurately, Psycho Ex-[[spoiler:Wife, courtesy of Dianna,]] who tries to frame Eric for assault and later breaks into [[spoiler: Grifter's]] home.

A SliceOfLife visual novel where a [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent CrestHaven University student]][[note]]
(Because the protagonist is unnamed and referred to as "[[FanNickname MC]]" by fans, this trope page will refer to the protagonist as "MC". The creator has stated that the protagonist's name is still pending so this page will be edited when he is finalized. He has been confirmed to be a human.)[[/note]] is on the tennis team and gets to explore a relationship with one of his teammates; [[ProudToBeAGeek Chester]], [[ChildhoodFriend Spencer]], [[TheQuietOne Dozer]], [[ChivalrousPervert Darius]][[note]](Originally, there was only going to be 3 characters: Grifter, Chester, and Spencer. Dozer and Darius were created about a year later and is the reason why they have less days than the original three.)[[/note]], or even [[TeamDad Coach Grifter]], the tennis coach. The creator has stated that more characters might be added in the future.

* {{Adorkable}}: Practically the whole cast, but the most prominent are MC, Coach, and Chester.

** MC helps Spencer clean up a nosebleed after the former accidentally strikes the latter with a ball.
** Dozer twice has to bind MC's finger after he unsuccessfully tries to catch a fast moving ball.

* AllGaysArePromiscuous: Averted with everyone except [[LovableSexManiac Darius]]. Most choices end up having MC bring up the idea of sex pretty much right after they start their relationship, with MC pretty much being told a straight "no" from said relationship. Plus, most dates end with the most intimate thing being a kiss.

%%* {{Animesque}}: [=CursedMarked=] has a heavily anime-influenced style, which leads to anime facial expressions and gags. The whole novel even feels like a Westernized version of the HaremGenre school setting where instead of cute petite schoolgirls being the love interests are huge, hulking anthropomorphic male animals.

* BadEnding: If you fail to impress anyone by Day 3, MC won't have a dream about anyone and has to start all over.
* BaraGenre: To the max, every character is a swole, musclegut beefcake.

* BetaCouple: If neither are romanced by the MC, then it is possible for [[spoiler: Chester]] and [[spoiler: Dozer]] to start dating.
* TheBet: Occurs during Darius's route where he and MC bet whether Maria can prepare a better steak than a fancy restaurant. The final result is determined by the player.
%%* BigBeautifulMan: All the men have huge bulging muscles, big bodies, and large (ahem) packages.
%%* TheCameo: Waffle from I.D.E.K.A.[[note]]([[https://dynewulf.itch.io/ideka-halloween-special The previous visual novel they worked on]])[[/note]] appears as a substitute librarian for the school library.
%%** Butch (also from I.D.E.K.A.) [[ShowWithinAShow is the writer of I.D.E.K.A in the Novel's Universe]]... it's complicated.

* CannotSpitItOut: A recurring problem between MC and Spencer in his route. To wit:
** MC keeps Spencer in the dark about being homeless for almost a year.

* CastFullOfGay: Seemingly applies to the majority of the male cast and not just MC and his primary love interests. Examples include Richard, Chester's boss Mr. Berkley, both Darius's costumer and his mechanic, and every named character in the night club Dynamite Springs.
* CensorSteam: Can occur early in Grifter's route should MC choose to peak on him in the shower where steam and water cover most of his rear.
** During Dozer's route when he suggests visiting the sauna for the first time stream prevents MC from seeing anything beneath his towel. The second time on [[MaleFrontalNudity the other hand...]]
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: MC and Spencer, if the player chooses that route.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Happens occasionally to MC when working out with his love interest.

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: The MC experiences this multiple times on every route, some are very simple[[note]](The route confirmation dream on day 3)[[/note]], others...[[MindScrew not so much.]]

* FerrisWheelDateMoment: How MC and [[spoiler: Grifter]] conclude their date at the amusement park.

* FromBadToWorse: In Dozer's route, MC accidentally injures his pinky finger and Dozer patches it up. The next day in Grifter's English class, Coach accidentally tripped and caught himself with MC's shoulder. Unfortunately, this caused MC's injured finger to get jammed into his desk, injuring it even more, and gets sent to the infirmary.
* [[FriendlyLocalChinatown Friendly Local Japantown]]: There's one in Brindel where most of MC's dates with Dozer take place.

* HandsOnApproach: During Coach Grifter's route as he is showing MC a new technique during practice. Darius [[EveryoneCanSeeIt picks up]] on it immediately.
* HotSpringsEpisode: During Chester's route, he and MC spend an afternoon at an Japanese inspired onsen together.
* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: Spoken almost word-for-word during Spencer's route by both him and MC when explaining why they were afraid to start dating at first. Fortunately, they [[RelationshipUpgrade work it out.]]

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: MC will point out that no one appears in his dream and he has to "start over", forcing the game to the main menu.

** Defied, after the artist change, the creators have added a feature where you will get to customize the character's outfits as well as MC's appearance.
* [[LikeBrotherAndSister Like Brothers]]: MC and Spencer, in any route where they don't [[RelationshipUpgrade hook up]] anyway.

* MeaningfulEcho: "Big boys don't cry." When they were children, Spencer said this while patching up MC when he was crying after scraping his knee. In the present time, Spencer tells him this again when MC cries after explaining his living situation.

* NothingIsScarier: Just ''who is'' [[spoiler:the person that molests MC]]? The worst part is that all we see is a dark shadowy figure, [[NightmareFuel a silhouette with no name or appearance.]] In a world where humans and anthros exist, [[ParanoiaFuel we don't even know what species this person is.]]
* OperationJealousy: Appears to be a favored tactic for Darius when setting the MC up with someone.
** In Coach Grifter's route he aggressively flirts with the MC and tricks him into suggestive positions to get the Coach's attention. [[spoiler: It works.]]
** In Spencer's route he takes it a step farther by [[spoiler: having a friend straight up try to molest MC in the locker room in order to provoke Spencer into action.]] Extreme? [[WhatTheHellHero Yes]]. Effective? [[spoiler: Also yes.]]

* PsychoExGirlfriend: More accurately, Psycho Ex-[[spoiler:Wife, courtesy of Dianna,]] who tries to frame MC for assault and later breaks into [[spoiler: Grifter's]] home.

** MC is usually a Blue Oni, due to his role as a [[AudienceSurrogate audience surrogate]] but is also calmer and more collected in most situations compared to most of his relationship choices.

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Or rather, "Not My Boyfriend." This is inverted, where MC tells Darius that he and Spencer are just friends.
%%* ShoutOut: One of Spencer's shirts has "I.D.E.K.A." written on it, referencing the name of the previous visual novel the creators made.
%%** {{Lampshaded}} in Chester's route when they mention he might be a fan of the manga in-universe [[PornWithPlot without knowing the content of said manga,]] it may cause [[ForcedOutOfTheCloset problems down the line on said route.]]

* ShowerOfLove: Assuming the player made the proper choices, this is where MC and [[spoiler:Chester]] end up making love for the first time together.
%%* ShowWithinAShow: [[CaptainObvious In case you didn't notice,]] [[ShoutOut references to I.D.E.K.A. and its characters are seen all throughout the game.]] What's interesting is that game's universe is actually confirmed to be a Manga series within the game itself. You can even find a manga strip within the game itself.

* SurpriseCreepy: In Spencer's route, [[spoiler:the moment where MC finds himself being molested by a stranger]] is very jarring compared to the lighthearted slice of life tone of the novel up until that point.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:The person that Darius hires to molest MC]] is never named, shown, or heard from again after that moment.
* WhatTheHellHero: MC delivers one of these to [[spoiler:Darius]] once he learns [[spoiler:Darius had someone corner MC in the locker room and attempt to molest him in order to provoke Spencer and get him to admit his feelings.]] Granted, [[JerkAssHasAPoint it worked]], but it was still crossing a line.
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: While it's implied that the story takes place in America, the game isn't very clear ''where'' in America it is.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Attempted by [[spoiler: Dianna, Coach Grifter's ex-wife]] who hits MC and then throws themselves to the ground, accusing MC of assaulting them when [[spoiler:Grifter]] arrived. [[spoiler:This [[SubvertedTrope backfires]] when [[HoistByHisOwnPetard MC starts bleeding where she slapped him]] and Spencer coming around saying he saw the whole thing. ]]
