  • The bonus scene at the end of episode 1 where Mitsue gives a pep talk to the younger Succu-Girls and encourages them to do their best. For such a perverted series it comes across as a genuinely sincere moment between an experienced mentor and her young students.
    Mitsue: Listen up, girls, age means nothing to a woman. A good woman never wilts, no matter how old she gets. She is always in full bloom!
    Succu-Girls: You're so wise!
    • This becomes ironically funny, when a closer look reveals that the 500-odd year old elf that Stunk was with in the opening scene, who is said to be even older than the two hundred-year-old Zel's mother, is among her students.
  • The fact that men of the same speces might think a Lady of a Certain Age is too old, but to men of another speces, they're still a beautiful flower of womanhood (Zel's steady "girl" Miku and the multiple-century old elf women Stunk favours), thanks to Bizarre Alien Senses or lack thereof (a complaint of "rotten mana" makes no difference to a Magically Inept Fighter, while wrinkles become wonderfully exotic to the perpetually young).
  • The light novel adaptation of the Gender Swap Inn has Crim angst a little about whether his partner is enjoying it as much as he does when he sleeps with them. Elza reassures him that yes, succu-girls also enjoy receiving customers themselves, so the experience is usually enjoyable for both partners, then cradles him in a comforting spooning position after demonstrating with a change of pace in their lovemaking.
  • The reason for why the Reviewers were paid to review cyclops girls in chapter 10/episode 5 was because the person who paid them was a small-eyed cyclops girl concerned about whether the person she fell in love with would accept her despite her small eye. When she learns from their reviews that eye size doesn't matter much for other races, she hops around with joy before cheerfully running off to confess her love to the human guy she wants to be with. They get married in chapter 28.
    • Really, the whole thing about how the small-eyed cyclopes situation turns out. The one we hear the most about, Eyesha, was in a pretty damned heartbreaking situation. She spent her entire life being bullied for her tiny eye (it didn't even wait until puberty; one look at her face from the moment she was born, and everyone around her knew she would never be beautiful), and when she finally got out of her cyclops village and into the big city, the only job she could apparently find was in a cyclops brothel. Facing an immediate future of being trapped in sex work with no self-esteem whatsoever, spending her days being constantly reminded of how unwanted she is and how much prettier other women are than her, who should come into her life but Stunk, a human who, like every single race besides cyclopes, couldn't care less how small her eye is, and thinks everything else about her is fantastic. "Don't worry, you're the greatest!" he says. "Keep your chin up and do your best!". While he's being a massive pervert as he says this, it's also the first time in Eyesha's life that anyone's ever told her she's beautiful. You can tell that just hearing that means the world to her, and she doesn't even believe he means it. But she will, because that review's going to make sure enough non-cyclops visit her that she finally finds out that most of the world thinks she's gorgeous.
    • Episode 12 reveals that Eyesha gave Stunk a calling card where she thanked him for helping build up her self-confidence.
  • During the chapter/episode where the Reviewers visit the Villain Roleplay establishment, Crim finds that even merely role-playing a villain is simply not for him. The girl he's with breaks character to reassure and comfort him, as she understands that not everyone is into villain roleplay.
  • Levit and his girlfriend instantly forgiving each other and making up after he sleeps around with dozens of succu-girls and she stabs him in the heart with a knife. Their relationship may be off to a pretty rocky start but it's nice to see that they genuinely care for each other.
    • Also, in a weird way, Levit's reviews. He gives every succu-girl a 10, which generally makes his reviews worthless for non-incubi, but it's clear that he means it each and every time, and never gives empty praise. He just has an uncanny, almost admirable ability to find profound, genuine beauty in literally every woman on earth.
  • In a way, how the Lizard Man is close friends with the other readers. Yeah, they tease him for being a virgin, but they do include him in their perverted conversations, like in episode 3 when they talk about feeling from the perspective of their partners to the Roleplay review, where they admit he got the acting down good. When he becomes a wizard in Episode 12, they genuinely congratulate him for holding his virginity for a long time.
  • After vowing to visit all of their favorite girls to celebrate New Years the reviewers are saddened to see that all of the brothels are so swamped with customers that none of their choices are currently available. Cue Aloe showing up and offering the group a calling card for the dream-eater brothel and promising to take care of them at her own place if they are still dissatisfied afterwards as a way of saying thanks for giving her so much new business. As a result each member gets to have a session with their favorite girl and give the dream-eater place one of the highest scores in the series.
  • Chapter 28 details the love story of a human and a salamander girl, as they manage to fall in love despite his inability to touch her due to her intense heat. It cumulates in a wedding ceremony which ends with his becoming immune to her flames, to their mutual delight. The story also begins revealing facts about the Goddess and Her religion and their works in this world, as they are shown to embrace interspecies romance in order to promote communication between all peoples and foster peace, even permitting the existence of the Succubus districts and the succu-girls who make a living from sating people's lusts. It is even revealed that the Goddess delegates some of her Works and Miracles to be carried out in person by the angels, who come down amongst the mortals to help facilitate this even when she is otherwise busy or indisposed.
  • Chapter 32 shows a natural and rather comfy rapport develop between Stunk and the dwarf woman succu-girl he hires, as she shows a fondness for his family heirloom sword and even offers to maintain it for him whenever he comes back to her.
  • A very subtle interplay between Kanchal and the Mimic whose treasure chest he unlocked in chapter 35 is rather sweet; because he opened her container, she felt obligated to give him a coupon for her workplace, and then he sort-of reciprocrates by choosing her once he gets there, subtly hinting that she was the treasure he picked her chest for. No surprises why she's so happy/eagerly aggressive to scoop him up with her tongue immediately after that.
  • Chapter 38 reveals that Zel has been a regular for Mitsue Onoda for at least 30 years, meaning that he started visiting her since she was in her twenties and then kept coming back even as her wrinkles set in. Now that is customer loyalty. It also shows that he was her first ever customer, and he was extremely understanding of her inexperience back then, patiently letting her try to take the lead and making her feel more comfortable and less nervous of the whole situation. She then makes a promise to meet him again in 3 month's time, and presumably continues to see him regularly over the next few decades.
  • Chapter 57 takes the Reviewers to the Room of Oblivion which removes the memories of non-virgins, making it feel like they are virgins. While Crim did enjoy gawking at the reviewers for acting unlike their usual selves and feeling embarrassed, as he couldn't be affected by the memory-erasing magic, he did note that he understood and appreciated the feelings on why Stunk and Zel were incredibly eager to take Crim to a brothel back in the first chapter now that he was in the "experienced" position.
  • A bonus chapter dealing with food has Merdi being told that there are other speces who appreciate birdfolk cuisine (that is, worms) just as much as they themselves do. We cut to a merman and a birdmaid who are quite deeply in love with each other.
