Anyone interested in helping identify the tropes I use?

I'm making a H-game visual novel and would like to know the tropes I'm using.

You might have better luck posting snippets on Trope Finder.

Hi

Just out of interest, why do you need to know?

It's just that it feels like too many people on the writing threads are obsessed by trope usage, and I feel they are descriptors, not a template.

@Last_Hussar

More out of curiosity than anything.

I actually learn a lot of neat information here about my favorite movies, shows, games, and just about anything here after reading the page about it.

As you put it, I want to learn some of the key descriptors of my work. People who know tropes know they can be flexible and not just cookie-cutter templates.

Be very careful about only posting an outside link in the forums, and especially to NSFW stuff.

Maybe describe your basic premise (beyond "naughty visual novel" which doesn't really narrow it down) and we can go from there?

At the very least, I can see

• Cat Girl
• Fanservice (comes with the hgame territory)
• NSFW

And one that got cut for being too saucy.

Now everyone pat me on the back and tell me how clever I am!

@dvorak

I understand about you being concerned about NSFW links. It's why I went with itch.io. You are free to PM me with any that are "too saucy" for here.

How about I start with the overview I wrote during the early development of the game.

Welcome to 4Wins. Your goal is to help make four people have happy endings within two weeks. Their goals can change within the story just like in real life. You can play as each character and see the story from different views. You will get clues on how to get the 4 wins by playing the other characters.

I can also give quick descriptions of the characters as well.

Oh, no, there was a trope back in the pre-Google Incident days that they cut. Not your fault.

And yes, some character outlines would be good

@dvorak

Here are descriptions of the main characters.

Note: These are just some quick overviews that came up with early in development. I can go into more details if needed.

Luna

Basic stats: Homosexual Female

A childhood friend of Kaat and her former lover in school. Luna's goal is get Kaat back. She does not like men in general and doesn't like that Kaat is now in love with Thomas. She tolerates Thomas because Kaat is happy and doesn't want to lose Kaat. Really she is just lonely and craves affection.

Kaat

Basic stats: Bisexual Female

Experimented in school with Luna then met Thomas during high school. Kaat loves Thomas and thinks he is the one for her. She wants Luna to at least try to be more comfortable around men and accept that Thomas is now a part of Kaat's life. She cares for both of them and wants to keep them close to her.

Thomas

Basic stats: Heterosexual Male

Moved into town during his high school years and met Kaat. They quickly fell in love. Thomas loves Kaat and tries everything to keep her happy. Even putting up with Luna's attitude towards him. He wants to stay with Kaat. But he is a young man with a healthy sex drive too.

Roxie

Basic stats: Homosexual Female (But willing to try anything once)

Thomas' friend who comes to visit him for a week or two before deciding whether to move here. Roxie is a fun-loving free-spirited person with a perverted side. She tends to rub people the wrong way (sometimes literally) and also has a tendency to get herself into trouble too. But she has a big heart under her big breasts too.
