!!Bungo to Alchemist features the following tropes:
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Upon reaching a certain point when strengthening the authors, you'll be able to unlock an alternate outfit for them. Some events also have alternate outfits as rewards.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The desperation attack and the [[Main/CombinationAttack dual attack]].
** The former allows the authors attack an enemy ForMassiveDamage, however it requires the authors to be in a weakened (耗弱, ''moujaku'', attained after receiving enough damage, shown when the author has a blue sign) or breakdown (喪失, ''soushitsu'', attained after taking some damage when weakened, shown when the author has a purple sign, author may [[Main/FinalDeath die]] at this state) state, and since the author is unable to attack during weakened and breakdown, it's basically a DeathOrGloryAttack.
** While the latter doesn't require a weakened/breakdown state, but 2 authors getting a specific bar which is gained by taking damage filled up, due to the randomness of the battles, there are chances that the bars might be used up in a battle which can be defeated by normal attacks instead.
* BackFromTheDead: All of the authors are already dead in real life, and in layman's terms, the alchemist's job is to reincarnate them, so they're technically this.
* BadassAdorable: The younger-looking authors.
* BadassBookworm: Basically all of the cast, since they're authors.
* {{Bishonen}}: Almost every single writer can be considered as this, save for a few exception.
* BloodlessCarnage: The authors don't bleed when they're injured.
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Due to the nature of this game, this was inevitable.
* CastHerd: The authors are grouped based on their literary factions or movements.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Most of the time, the player is referred as librarian.
* HighSchoolAU: The event ''An Encouragement of Learning'' is basically this. Some authors' alternate outfits also have them wearing school outfits.
* ClothingDamage: Downplayed. While it is a visual representation of the authors' condition like in ''Touken Ranbu'', it is much less subtle, with only few torn parts and dirt instead.
* CombinationAttack: During battle, the authors have a gauge which increases when they take damage. When 2 authors have a full bar, they will perform this, dealing a huge amount of damage to all enemies.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: After a battle in a node, the game will show 2 buttons, with the left being continue into the next node and the right being return. Due to how similar they look (the only difference being the kanji on it), some players might accidentally click the opposite of their intended decision. This could be dangerous when an author is in a breakdown state, as they might be KilledOffForReal should the player continue (luckily the game [[DevelopersForesight would give you reminder when you decide to continue upon having a heavily injured author, potentially avoiding such situation]]).
* DeathOrGloryAttack: The desperation attack. See AwesomeButImpractical.
* DeliberateInjuryGambit: The base behind the dual attack, as in order to be able to perform the dual attack one must be injured enough.
* ExcusePlot: The "purifying books from the Taints" plot of the game can be considered as this, as the game is more of you collecting {{Bishonen}} authors so far.
* FakeDifficulty: The branching requirements can sometimes be this. Upon reaching the Ni-shelf, 2 of the book needs 3 of the same weapon types (blades for Ni-2 and guns for Ni-3), which basically force you to train another if you don't have enough leveled authors of said kind.
* GameplayGrading: The game would grade you after you purify a book (obtainable by reaching either a dead end or the boss) with various scale (Great, Good, Pass, and Fail), with failing obtainable by retreating or unable to defeat the boss.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: All of the playable characters in this game are famous Japanese authors and poets from the 20th century.
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: The writers clearly look very different from their real life selves.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: They're also capable of fending themselves against Taints with their WeaponOfChoice. One of them has ''twin shotguns'' as their weapon!
* LevelGrinding: One of the maps require a specific level requirement to pass, but this is much more noticeable on the further maps, the enemies there can be pretty hard.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The game is planned to feature 78 writers.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Some of the authors are this, but particularly the writers of the Aestheticism movement.
* MagicLibrarian: The player, as they're also an alchemist who have an ability to summon authors to this world.
* MorphWeapon: The authors are normally seen with a book representing their works, which turn into weapons upon delving on a tainted book.
* NonEntityGeneral: The alchemist/librarian, just like the [[VideoGame/ToukenRanbu saniwa]] and the [[VideoGame/KantaiCollection admiral]].
* OurSoulsAreDifferent: The souls in this game are resources for improving the stats of the authors, which are obtainable in tainted books and have different kinds.
* PortalBook: The tainted books are Type 3 of this trope.
* PlayEveryDay: The game encourages this with daily missions and resources to strengthen the authors on certain days(Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).
* RandomNumberGod: Much of the gameplay depends on this.
* SkillScoresAndPerks: The Blossoming mechanic allows authors access on a skill/perk tree that varies on each weapon type. Each perk give a certain amount of stat boost, and as you progress further on the tree the boost gets higher, with a cost of certain types of resources (souls and gears). The skill/perk tree normally follows a linear progression, with few branches and some level prerequisites. There's also a perk which unlocks an extra voice line and another perk that unlocks an alternate outfit, which are both locked under a level prerequisite and stat boosts.
* ShoutOut: The shelves' names are based on the ''Iroha'' poem.
* ShownTheirWork: For a game with HistoricalDomainCharacter as the basis, it provides more than enough references to their history and works.
** All of the tainted books are named after the works of the authors.
** Some of the authors' book covers are based on their real-life counterparts, such as [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/257526999709384705/287094683358986241/20161002135807f10.png Hagiwara Sakutarou's]].
** Some of the authors' weapon designs are also based off their works and the themes on said works, such as Kobayashi Takiji's blade being a reference to the ''Crab Cannery Ship'', and Tokunaga Sunao, a Proletariat writer, wields a sickle and a hammer.
** Most of the interactions between the authors are based on their real life relationships.
** The background of the Blossoming page is based upon the script of ''Rashomon'', a famous short story by Akutagawa Ryuunosuke.
* SuperMovePotraitAttack: The authors get this during the desperation attack and dual attack.
* WeaponOfChoice: The authors are classified into a certain weapon type based on their works.
** Blades: Authors of pure literature.
** [[ArcherArchetype Bows]]: Authors of Naturalism works.
** [[WhipItGood Whips]]: Authors of popular fiction.
** [[TheGunslinger Guns]]: Poets and writers of children stories.
* WizardNeedsFoodBadly: The authors have a hunger bar which goes down each time they battle on a tainted book(roughly 7 battles for a full bar), and when the bar is empty (which is attainable during battle), they will get noticeable decrease in performance (in battle) or unable to be employed (outside battle). The player is able to fully restore the bar by feeding them.
* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: The primary resources of this game are ink (to heal/transmigrate authors), food (allows authors to go to sortie), ensouled books (allows an attempt on transmigration), and governors (allows instant transmigration/healing), with the former 2 having a regeneration Cap which is scaled based on the player's level. The game also has coins which allows you to buy [[CosmeticAward furnitures]] to decorate your office.
