7!! ''Worst Story on Wattpad'' parodies the following, clichéd tropes:
8
9* AbductionIsLove: Summersberry doesn't care that Alwolfo has kidnapped her because he's rich and hot.
10* AbusiveParents: Summersberry's parents sell her for booze money. The buyer is hot, though, so it's OK.
11* AerithAndBob: Courtney stands out simply because she has a normal name compared to literally every other character. [[spoiler:It's an early indicator of her true nature.]]
12* AffablyEvil: Alwolfo, who kidnaps Summersberry, then invites her to the party he's holding to celebrate her kidnapping ''and'' offers her plenty of outfit options.
13* AlcoholicParent: Summersberry's parents are constantly shown getting drunk, and even sell her for booze money.
14* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Several of Summersberry's love interests fall into this category.
15* AlphaBitch: Averted; Courtney is a NiceGirl, but the protagonist refuses to see her as anything but the slutty evil cheerleader trope, much to her annoyance.
16* ArbitrarySkepticism: Summersberry is willing to believe in vampires and werewolves, but not lesbians.
17* AttemptedRape: Lester the Molester and Herbert the Pervert exist just so Alwolfo can save Summersberry from molestation and/or rape.
18* ArrangedMarriage: Summersberry is put into one by her parents so they can pay for more booze. Naturally, it turns out to be a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage.
19* CampGay: Summersberry's brother Susan is a mishmash of every camp gay stereotype. [[spoiler: He's faking it so girls tell him intimate stuff.]]
20* ClicheStorm: [[invoked]] Parodied; the fic uses every (Wattpad) cliche in the book and pokes fun at them.
21* DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch: British, who mostly speaks in stereotypes befitting of his name.
22* DudeMagnet: Summersberry is chased by a throng of men during the climax, including British, Alwolfo, 2Mas, her geography teacher, and the entirety of Music/OneDirection.
23* FetishizedAbuser: British and Alwolfo are both assholes, but Summersberry sees past those "flaws".
24* {{Foreshadowing}}: Courtney is the only character to not follow any of the tropes associated with teen fiction. [[spoiler:She turns out to be a member of a group that arrests people for using said cliches.]]
25* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:In order to prevent their story from getting shut down, the characters have to prove they have these. Among other things, British reveals he's a ''Gossip Girl'' fan and wants to be a househusband, Alwolfo reveals he likes wearing dresses, and Summersberry's mother reveals she's been alcohol-free for decades, only faking her alcoholism for perks from her support group.]]
26* HideYourLesbians: Lesbians don't exist in teen fiction, which is why Summersberry doesn't believe it when she hears Courtney has a girlfriend.
27* ImNotPretty: The protagonist claims she's an ugly piece of work, despite having a conventionally attractive description.
28* {{Jerkass}}: Alwolfo is unambiguously a dick. Summersberry still loves him.
29* LampshadeHanging: Expect every trope to get a lampshade hung on it in one way or another.
30* LastRequest: Alwolfo lies to Courtney that he's a cancer patient and his last wish is to make out with her. She's understandably peeved when she learns the truth.
31* LeetSpeak: 2Mas only communicates in poorly written text talk.
32* LittleBlackDress: What Summersberry wears to Alwolfo's party.
33* MagicalMinorityPerson: Xing is the token Asian character and a walking hodgepodge of various Asian stereotypes. [[spoiler:She's actually Australian.]]
34* MarySueHunter: [[spoiler:The Teen Fiction Police arrest anyone who overuses the regular cliches found in teen fiction, Sue tropes included.]]
35* MeaningfulName:
36** British is, well, [[DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch British]].
37** Alwolfo is (obviously) a werewolf.
38* TheMole: [[spoiler:Courtney turns out to be a member of the Teen Fiction Police.]]
39* OnlySaneMan: Courtney is the only character not swept up in horrible writing tropes. [[spoiler:It turns out that she specifically came to the story ''because'' it was so cliche.]]
40* {{Parody}}: Of common tropes found in Wattpad stories and teen fiction in general.
41* ParodySue: Summersberry is a parody of the typical wish fulfilment protagonist found in teen literature.
42* RealPersonFic: As a reference to the large amount of this kind of fic that's on Wattpad, Music/OneDirection puts in an appearance near the end, joining the throng of men trying to woo Summersberry.
43* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:Xing may be a reference to [[Film/TropicThunder Kirk Lazarus]], being an Australian actor playing a stereotype-ridden role that requires them to pretend to be a different ethnicity from what they actually are.]]
44* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Alwolfo kidnaps Summersberry at one point. While she brushes off the dubious morality of this because he's rich and hot, in the end [[spoiler:he's arrested for kidnapping her.]]
45* TakeThat:
46** The story as a whole is one to all of the common tropes found in Wattpad stories and teen fiction as a whole.
47** [[spoiler:The Teen Fiction Police apparently put the kibosh on ''Literature/MidnightSun2020'', and in the end go off to stop a sequel to ''Literature/HushHush'' from happening.]]
48* TeacherStudentRomance: One of the boys trying to get with Summersberry in the climax is her geography teacher.
49* VampiresAreSexGods: Parodied; British is a vampire largely regarded as hot by the protagonist, but as far as we know she's the only one who's openly attracted to him (her misconceptions regarding his friendship with Courtney notwithstanding).
50* VampireWerewolfLoveTriangle: Summersberry's main love interests are the hot vampire British and the hot werewolf Alwolfo. Naturally, they fight each other at one point.
51* WerewolfThemeNaming: Alwolfo Wolfsbane Bonowolf. Yes, that's actually his name.
52* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Summersberry's mother admits that she was probably drunk while coming up with her name. Doesn't explain the names of most of the other characters, though.
53* WildTeenParty: Alwolfo holds one to celebrate his kidnapping of Summersberry.
