Tropes specific to certain works:
Tropes found in Rvbomally's works overall:
- Advanced Ancient Humans: Subverted with All Under Heaven, where China under the Song Dynasty underwent gradual industrialization in the 11th century, leading to China becoming the global hegemon, achieving spaceflight by 1814 and developing Faster-Than-Light Travel by the 1950s.
- Alternate History: Almost all of his works are this, exploring alternate timelines.
- Crapsack World: Hoo boy, his hallmark is the frequently portrayal of grim and authoritarian alternate worlds.
- History Repeats: The premise of World War 1.5 is that the events of World War I largely repeat themselves in 2014, with the United States, Japan and Brazil winning World War III against Russia, China and Iran after tensions in Ukraine turn hot, complete with the European Union collapsing into revolution (although of the far-right rather than far-left variety) and a post-war China that's really close to Putting on the Reich.
- MegaCorp: Persephone Aerospace, an interdimensional company, which seems to have it's own military, appearing in several timelines.
- The Multiverse: All his works are implied to take place in one.
