** The game automatically converts duplicate cards into shards, which can be spent to ascend your initial card.

** The first event ''White Storm'' starts off fair easy but becomes increasingly more difficult to progress through the levels unless significant leveling up is done beforehand. The Opening Day stages feature encounters that sync your team's level down to a level cap, necessitating power through Potential and Ascensions, as well as good thinking.
** The ''Sorcerer's Trial'' event is a gauntlet of one-wave encounters with increasing power levels. Every five floors pits you against a boss with a set number of mechanics to sort through, and also feature the level restrictions from ''White Storm''.

* NintendoHard: The first event ''White Storm'' starts off fair easy but becomes increasingly more difficult to progress through the levels unless significant leveling up is done beforehand. The same applies for the main story, especially after Chapter 3.

* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Most of the clansmen have naturally colorful hair such as pink (Aster), purple (Morvay), light blue (Edmond), green (Olivine) and lavender (Kuya).

* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: Like most gacha games, the money farming in this game is tedious after a player has spent all their new player bonuses. Simply throwing money at the game will not help much as there are 3 different types of currency (4 if you count contract scrolls for summoning cards as one) and not all types can be purchased in bulk. The in game currency gain/real life money expense ratio is poor as well, which is made worse by the bigger packs are not discounted as deeply as other gacha games.

%%* {{Bishonen}}: The whole cast.

* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Being a gay man with a high libido, Eiden is delighted to find out that all of the clan members are good looking men of different categories of appeal.

%%* OlderThanTheyLook: The familiars as well as Quincy and Kuya.

%%* RPGElements

* TacticalRockPaperScissors: The fighting mechanics feature a rock-paper-scissors like mechanic where the cards and the enemies are all associated with one of the elements among fire, water, wood, light and dark. Every element is strong against one element while also being weak against one.

* AntiPoopSocking: The energy system for NU: carnival regenerates at 1 per 5 minutes and the intimacy system per 10 minutes. Considering the high energy requirements of daily gold and experience potion stages, a lot of waiting may be involved if no items are used to restore energy. Gain a new level also results in a LevelUpFillUp, though.

* ClothingDamage: A visual representation of the amount of damage characters take are expressed by their clothes getting torn in places (somewhat similar to ToukenRanbu but more sexualized, with the characters flushing or even making ahegao faces), first slightly then escalating to nearly {{Shirtless Scene}} like situations.

* DeusSexMachina: At the end of every chapter Eiden ends up in a situation where he ends up having sex with someone, and majority of the time it is both a recreational activity as well as a method to regulate essence.

Players follow the journey of Eiden, a sex toy designer who one day, while working overtime deep into the night, comes into contact with a mysterious “neon gemstone” belonging to an important client. Before he knows it Eiden loses consciousness, only to wake up in [[TrappedInAnotherWorld a whole new world]]. The inhabitants of this mysterious land, known as the Klein Continent, draw power from a mysterious force they call essence. Each individual’s essence has its own unique scent which intensifies whenever their essences levels begin to rise. Eiden’s own essence, as it so happens, is considered particularly high-grade by the residents of this new world.
