** Later is is revealed that [[spoiler:Everything we've seen in the story takes place in a "Construct" by the original Alice, who made Lucia's life in the construct difficult through her illusion powers and through her own construct self. Lucia's stepfather isn't even real!]]
* ArtEvolution

%%** After finding out that Reggie knows more than he lets on, Lucia asks him more about it, and he tells her something that completely changes how

--->[[spoiler:'''Daydream:''']] [[BrotherSisterIncest I'm in love with Derrick]].\\
'''Emily:''' ...! But he's your brother!\\
...\\
[[spoiler:'''Daydream:''']] The sick part isn't that I'm in love with Derrick.\\
[[spoiler:'''Daydream:''']] The sick part is... I did something bad to him.\\

[[spoiler:'''Daydream:''']] I... I... [[spoiler:[[RapeAsDrama I took his virginity]]]].

** Derrick decided to let [[spoiler:Ruu-Andaros in the party, since she seemed friendly (and was ridiculously strong).]]

* TheLostWoods: The Forgotten Forest.

* MediumAwareness: In the latest updates, [[spoiler:Alice is becoming aware of the readers' commands.]]
** It turns out that Garry has this ability too.
*** [[spoiler:Daydream literally made a small dummy that could "filter through" the reader's/observer's questions so she could talk to us directly.]]
* MonsterAllies: Derrick decided to let [[spoiler:Ruu-Andaros in the party, since she seemed friendly (and was ridiculously strong).]]

* BadDreams: The whole story takes place in a dark, monster-infested dreamworld. Also, Derrick has insomnia at the beginning.

* ArchEnemy: Lucia and Alice never got along with each other ever since they first met, while the former went with Derrick to visit him in his home. As a matter of fact, Alice dislikes Lucia so much that she [[spoiler: got several people to harass Lucia during school]] and also [[spoiler: lies to Derrick by telling him that Lucia had died after she had a mishap with her step-father's gun]].
** Later is is revealed that [[spoiler: Everything we've seen in the story takes place in a "Construct" by the original Alice, who made Lucia's life in the construct difficult through her illusion powers and through her own construct self. Lucia's stepfather isn't even real!]]

* BeachEpisode: At one point, Lucia, Garreth, Skully, Lexii, and [[spoiler: Uilos]] decide to take a break from fighting monsters and spend some time on the beach, complete with the girls wearing [[{{Fanservice}} Fanservice-y]] outfits and the boys being [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]]. Later on, [[LampshadeHanging the trope name is mentioned]] when Derrick is told about it the following night.

* BrotherSisterIncest: It's implied that Alice's feelings for Derrick are more than just family. [[spoiler: She later confirms this.]]
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Implied to be happening between Derrick and Lucia. [[spoiler: A darker, one-sided version exists between Alice and Derrick]].

* CrapsackWorld: The dream world is definitely this, it is a place filled with several monsters who are all out to steal the bodies of the dreamers, illusions that can lure people out and trick them once causing [[spoiler:Derrick to get impaled with a giant tendril that came from the ground]]. As well as, [[spoiler: doppelgängers there to trick you by turning into your loved ones]]. Needless to say the dream world is not a happy place in the slightest sense.
* CreepyCute: Raziel is "just a poor misjudged plushie".
* DarkIsNotEvil: Derrick and Lucia both like black. Lucia's conjuration is also a shadow creature, who happens to be very friendly and cheerful. The reapers are all allies despite being dressed as, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin reapers]]. [[spoiler: All but one of them, at least...]]

* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Played with. [[spoiler: Derrick must kiss Lucia in the real world to wake her up before her life support is turned off and she dies. However, it is Lucia herself that tells him this in the dream world, and it turns out that just a kiss on the hand is enough for this to work]].

* EyeScream: While it's unknown whether [[spoiler: Lucia purposefully or accidentally shot herself in the head]], or if it was someone else who did it, [[spoiler: she survived, but one of her eyes was damaged. After she wakes up, she wears an eyepatch]].

** [[spoiler: Later on, when Lexii is corrupted by Lil Mal, the readers are unable to help her by giving her commands because the doll changes them to corrupt her even more]].

* GroundhogDayLoop: [[spoiler: It is eventually revealed that the whole story is a cycle of one of these within a "Construct" created by Alice [[MeaningfulRename (Who now goes by Daydream)]] as an attempt to prevent Lucia from accidentally killing Derrick. Garreth, Lucas and Emily are all aware of the Construct, with Lucas trying not to get too attached to his conjuration because he apparently gets a different one each time. Emily has also died in every cycle until now]].

* MonsterAllies: Derrick decided to let [[spoiler: Ruu-Andaros in the party, since she seemed friendly (and was ridiculously strong).]]

* MurderByMistake: [[spoiler: Before the construct was made, Lucia tried to kill Alice for unknown reasons, but the Unknown Entity tricked her into killing Derrick instead. Alice made the construct to find a way to prevent this, believing at first that Lucia killed him on purpose]].

* ShipperOnDeck: Lexii is thought to be shipping [[spoiler: Lucas, Garreth and Derrick with one another]] and also tends to write fanfiction with pairings of her choice, and is once told that she would most likely be a good match maker in real life as well by one of her readers. She also keeps a hidden document of all of her ships, somewhere on her computer. Another example of this trope stems from one of the reaper kids by the name of Wynter, who actively ships Derrick and Lucia

* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler: Daydream/Alice says she's had Emily killed in [[GroundhogdayLoop almost every cycle]] until now (When the readers interfered) because the Unknown Entity has used her against the other characters in the original timeline and earlier cycles. However, she also took the chance to torture Emily and let her die slowly and painfully because of her crush on Derrick, [[GreenEyedMonster which Alice was jealous of]].]]

* StepfordSmiler: Lucas seems rather cheerful for someone who's [[spoiler: had to go through thousands of versions of the construct, and also had to kill his construct self each time to take his place]]. Oh, and he has an unrequited crush on Alice, [[spoiler: despite knowing about everything she's done as Daydream, including sexually abusing her own unsuspecting brother, yet he still can't help how he feels]]. He shows more of his true self whenever he's alone, or with people who [[spoiler: are aware of the construct]].

** Also subverted: [[spoiler:Derrick has abilities that trigger when he **gets** scared.]]

* TheUnreveal: One of the reapers tells Lucia about [[spoiler: how she came to be in a coma and how soon she will die unless the Prince (Derrick) saves her.]] Towards the end of the dialogue on that page, he is about to tell Lucia how [[spoiler: she must be saved]], but the next page skips to after he has told her.
** [[spoiler: However, WordOfGod said that a kiss from the Prince is what will wake her before it was properly revealed]]. Eventually, Lucia tells Derrick herself.
* WasOnceAMan: The monsters are people [[spoiler: (And animals)]] that have died or [[GrandTheftMe had their bodies stolen by other monsters]].
* WebcomicTime: So far, about a week or two has passed in the comic, which has been going on for over six years. Lampshaded at one point when [[spoiler:Daydream]] says it felt like the current dream had been going on for about a year (Which it had).

* TheCorrupter: Lil Mal

* EyeScream: While it's unknown whether [[spoiler: Lucia purposefully or accidentally shot herself in the head]], or if it was someone else who did it, [[spoiler: she survived (For now), but one of her eyes was damaged.]]

* GrandTheftMe: This is what happens if you die in the dream world and don't make it back to your sleeping body in time - a monster can possess it and wake up in your body, taking control permenantly, while you are left to remain in the dream world and eventually become a monster yourself.

* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler: Daydream/Alice says she's had Emily killed in [[GroundhogdayLoop almost every cycle]] until now (When the readers interfered) because the Unknown Entity has used her against the other characters in the original timeline and earlier cycles. However, she also took the chance to torture Emily because of her crush on Derrick, [[GreenEyedMonster which Alice was jealous of]].]]

* StepfordSmiler: Lucas seems rather cheerful for someone who's [[spoiler: had to go through thousands of versions of the construct, and also had to kill his construct self each time to take his place]]. Oh, and he has an unrequited crush on Alice, [[spoiler: despite knowing about everything she's done as Daydream, including sexually abusing her own unsuspecting brother, yet he still can't help how he feels]].

* YourFavorite: The game knows Derrick likes his marshmallows. Apparently Alice likes them too.

* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Played with. [[spoiler: Derrick must kiss Lucia in the real world to wake her up before her life support is turned off and she dies. However, it is Lucia herself that tells him this in the dream world.]]

** Technically (although not likely), the latter is still a possibility.
*** [[spoiler: Proven false, as Lucia has now been shown to be in a coma.]]

* BadDreams: The whole story takes place in a dark, monster-infested dreamworld. Also, Derrick has insomnia.
* BeachEpisode: At one point, Lucia, Garreth, Skully, Lexii, and [[spoiler: Ulios]] decide to take a break from fighting monsters and spend some time on the beach, complete with the girls wearing [[{{Fanservice}} Fanservice-y]] outfits and the boys being [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]]. Later on, [[LampshadeHanging the trope name is mentioned]] when Derrick is told about it the following night.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Pending.

** Happens later with [[spoiler:Lexii]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: Derrick and Lucia both like black.

* EyeScream: While it's unknown whether [[spoiler: Lucia shot herself in the head]], or if it was someone else who did it, [[spoiler: she survived (For now), but one of her eyes was damaged.]]

** [[spoiler: Later on, when Lexii is corrupted by Lil Mal, the readers are unable to help her by giving her commands because the doll changes them to corrupt her even more.]]
