Tropes common in Perry's works:
- Explicit Content: A lot of his earlier original works contain pretty graphic sex scenes. The Musashi Flex, his prequel to the Matador Series, is notable for being significantly tamer than its predecessors.
- Fantastic Fighting Style: He tends to include martial arts practice in a lot of his works. Sumito and teräs käsi are both based on Perry's own silat practice.
