Despite ostensibly being a quirky comedy series that mostly pokes fun at typical RPG tropes, the series also explores the darker implications of such a world, particularly the concept of "[=NPCs=]" versus "players" and the rules and restrictions both have to follow.

!This webcomic contains examples of the following tropes:
*AndIMustScream: All but stated to be what life as an NPC is like; stuck following the role laid out for you and unable to protest, resist or even defend yourself. [[spoiler: Especially demonstrated in the flashback to the group meeting Lu.]]
*AwesomeEgo: Amirul, Amirul, Amirul. He can't go two sentences without talking about awesome he is, but when you see him in action it's hard to deny it.
*BaitAndSwitch: Amirul is introduced facing what appears to be an intimidating AntlionMonster, only to squash it with his staff and reveal it to be the size of an actual ant.
*BareFistedMonk: In battle, Rando seems to prefer using his body and raw brute strength to take down opponents.
*BarrierWarrior: When battling the seal, Amirul conjures up a large blue barrier that it utterly fails to break through, and shatters it to sent the seal flying.
*BerserkButton: Rando might be a pervert, but he draws the line at putting your hands on a woman without her consent.
*Catchphrase: Amirul likes to tell people how "awesome" he is, as well as refer to the other party members as "[[YouFool Foo']]".
*BFS: The sword Rando is seen wielding in the past has a blade the size of his body. He's discarded it in the present day, preferring to [[BareFistedMonk use his hands]].
*BlackMage: Amirul, judging by his job title "Magician".
*BowelBreakingBricks: When Dullah jumps out of a bush at the boys, Rando is seen with a very large cubical bulge in his pants.
*CatGirl: Lu, judging by her [[LittleBitBeastly cat ears and two tails]].
*ChainPain: Lu's spells manifest themselves in the form of spectral chains, which she uses to restrict enemies. [[spoiler: She's also seen using them offensively against the party in a flashback to when they first met.]]
*ChivalrousPervert: Rando. He's introduced peeking up a girl's skirt, he can't resist glancing down Lu's top while comforting her, but he will not tolerate someone putting their hands on a woman without consent. He was taught this by his grandfather, Dullah, who is just as much of an example.
*CoolOldGuy: Dullah. A pervert and a troll he might be, but he teaches Rando valuable life lessons and encouraged his noble behaviour. He also offered Rando and his party some of his equipment when they were going on a particularly dangerous quest.
*CripplingOverspecialization: Poked fun at when the party levels up. Rando initially puts all his stats in [[DumbMuscle strength]], but it leaves him a drooling moron that can't even speak until Lu adjusts it. Amirul likewise tries to put all his stats into [[SquishyWizard intelligence]] which grants him "knowledge of everything" but weakens him to the point he gets pinned down by a pebble.
*CurbStompBattle: Rando vs the visiting party in Dafurst Village.
*TheDreaded: "The Guards". White-armoured [=NPCs=] who are summoned whenever a player breaks the rules to deal out the appropriate punishment. [[InvokedTrope This is invoked]], as the threat of the Guards is the main thing that keeps players in line.
*DualAgeModes: [[spoiler: Lu is capable of shifting into an older and more powerful form.]]
*DualWielding: Though he's yet to use both at once, Mike has two swords on his back and his job title, "Dual Blader", implies he is capable of this.
*EstablishingCharacterMoment: Each main character gets one:
**[[TheGadfly Mike]] attempts to steal some potions from a vendor, only to immediately run back and claim he's just joking.
**[[ChivalrousPervert Rando]] is first seen laying on his back and looking up the Event Lady's skirt.
**[[SmallNameBigEgo Amirul]] is shown on a sidequest, effortlessly defeating low-level enemies while ranting about how amazing he is.
**[[TheStraightMan Lu]] is introduced alongside Amirul, trying to get him back on track to meet the others.
*FateWorseThanDeath: Permanent Banishment. When we see Rando after his banishment, he's trapped in a [[BlankWhiteVoid seemingly infinite]] [[WhiteVoidRoom white room]] with nothing to do. It's implied he would be left there forever.
*FantasticRacism: The players who harass the Events Lady justify their behaviour towards [=NPCs=] due to them being "mindless dolls" and mock the main characters for defending them.
*GenreDeconstruction: Of the RPGMechanicsVerse.
*IFoughtTheLawAndTheLawWon: Anyone who breaks the rules within Mamuon such as harming [=NPCs=] or killing players within a village risk summoning the Guards, who are implied by the characters [[TheDreaded fearful reactions]] to be either absurdly powerful or outright invincible. [[spoiler: Defied when Rando is arrested and banished for [[PlayerKilling murdering the players who were harassing the Events Lady]], as he doesn't even attempt to resist and actively discourages Lu from helping him for this reason.]]
*IntrepidMerchant: Dullah; the boys meet him at one point when he's gotten lost on his way to a village, yet he laughs it off.
*ItsAllMyFault: Lu blames herself for [[spoiler: Rando's banishment because she didn't transform to fight the guards.]]
*NerdGlasses: Mike is drawn with large square glasses, with square-ish spirals in place of pupils.
*PlayerKilling: [[spoiler: When the visiting players harass the Events Lady, insult the party and attempt to kill Rando, he finally snaps and murders them in an extremely brutal fashion.]]
*PunnyName: All the location names; [[FirstTown Dafurst Village]], [[CherryBlossoms Dapinku Forest]], [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Hyuujasu Tree]], etc.
*TheReveal: [[spoiler: Lu is an [=NPC=].]]
*RPGMechanicsVerse: The entire concept of the comic.
*StoneWall: Rando. He shrugs off a punch from the "powerful seal" that sends him across a forest thanks to his [[HealingFactor HP Regeneration]], and outright [[NoSell no-sells]] a point-blank hit from a spell that destroys his armour and a large chunk of Dafurst Village.
*TranquilFury: Rando's reaction to the second party harassing the Events Lady is quiet yet blatant rage. When their spellcaster's attack injures his friends and the Events Lady, he upgrades to UnstoppableRage.
*UnderestimatingBadassery: The players harassing the Events Lady dismiss and disrespect Rando and his party due to their "2nd Tier Equipment". [[CurbStompBattle Rando quickly proves how wrong they are.]]
*UnstoppableRage: Rando, once the other players press his BerserkButton too many times. Both Amirul and Mike try to hold him back, but [[spoiler: they fail to stop him killing the three other players, which results in his banishment.]]
*VitriolicBestBuds: The party. All the time. They fight and yell and insult one another, but when the chips are down they have each other's back.
*VisualPun: Amirul points out that "a powerful seal" is preventing access to the ancient tower. Next panel shows a very large and muscular seal telling them to fuck off.
