* CelestialBureaucracy: How the heavens function. Leon, Huedhaut, and Teorus are from the Department of Wishes, responsible for answering the wishes of humans, while Scorpio, Ichthys, and Dui are with the Department of Punishments, which punishes humans for their sins.

* WesternZodiac:
** The six love interests are presented as gods who rule over six of the twelve signs of the zodiac: Leo (Leon), Aquarius (Huedhaut), Taurus (Teorus), Pisces (Ichthys), Gemini (Dui), and Scorpio.
** The remaining six form the supporting cast: Libra (Zyglavis), Cancer (Karno), Virgo (Partheno), Aries (Krioff), Capricorn (Aigonorus), Sagittarius (Tauxlouve).

* [[TakingTheBullet Taking The Knife]]: [[spoiler: The protagonist gets stabbed in the stomach, with a knife that was meant for Icthys. He ends up using the rest of his lifeforce to heal her.]]

** Icthys ''loves'' taiyaki.

* SemiDivine: [[spoiler: The protagonist, who is implied to still have limited access to her powers as a former goddess. It becomes a major plot point in Huedhaut's route, where she becomes more powerful the more she remembers her past life. It's also implied in Dui's sequel that her powers are what saves her from the agony from being forced by Ida to drink the juice of the forbidden fruit, the same fruit that made Dui MercyKill his best friend.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Zygvalis is the closest thing to a series-wide antagonist: abrasive, harsh, dismissive of humanity in general and - in nearly all routes - has threatened to kill the protagonist for a variety of reasons. Even he is horrified when [[spoiler: the king of gods brands the protagonist with the divine mark of sin, something that is shown to weaken the gods and comes close to killing her as well.]]

** [[spoiler: The protagonist begins to remember her past life as a goddess in Huedhaut's route, most likely as a result of her growing feelings for him. It's revealed that the Goddess!Protagonist gave up her existence to save humanity. Her soul would have also been destroyed if Huedhaut hadn't pulled out the stars in his left eye.

* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:Eris in Leon's sequel]]

* PastLifeMemories: Fallen gods are reincarnated as humans, although they keep their memories of their lives as gods. [[spoiler:Leon's sequel showcases exactly how cruel this fate is with Eris, who has had several lifetimes of being unable to live a normal human life because she remembers being a god]]. Gods who choose to be reborn of their own free will don't keep their memories - and may be better off for it. [[spoiler:The protagonist's past self chose to be reborn as a human for reasons that have yet to be revealed.]]

** Leon's sequel ends with one big question left unresolved: [[spoiler:Who granted the now human Eris divine powers so she could take her vengeance on Leon?]]
** Who corrupted [[spoiler:Dui's]] friend? The main route leaves the question unanswered, with several hints that it was part of a larger plan. The sequel offers the resolution, but adds yet ''another'' question: [[spoiler:While Ida set events in motion as part of a plan to overthrow the rule of heaven, he appears to have bargained with someone for the power to pull it off. Who?]]

* EmpathicEnvironment: Justified in [[spoiler:Huedhaut's]] main route and the POV story of the same: [[spoiler:The protagonist's]] emerging divine powers, coupled with emotional turmoil, manifests as endless rain that eventually becomes a threat to the Earth's ecosystem. Other characters explicitly note the connection between sadness and rain. See also: PowerIncontinence

* SickeninglySweethearts: [[spoiler:Dui]] and the protagonist become one of ''those'' couples. The rest of the cast respond with eye-rolling and second hand embarrassment.

* MundaneObjectAmazement: Scorpio may not have a high opinion of humans, but he finds their machines fascinating.

** Who corrupted [[spoiler:Dui's]] friend? The main route leaves the question unanswered, with several hints that it was part of a larger plan.
