Work Pages Are A Free Launch, but generally speaking, new pages need to be indexed by adding them to corresponding indexes via edit.

However, I have to note that, as is, Love Angel Syndrone is a tropeless stub and needs to he filled out more ASAP, else it is in violations of site rules

Look up pages for other visual novels that are similar Love Angel Syndrome, all work pages need to be added to the medium and genre lists, at least one of each.

And as noted above, the page is so barebones it may be deleted soon. See How to Create a Work Page

So it's no longer a stub, but many examples are Zero-Context Example, note that all examples need to describe the scene where their trope occurs. Mary Sue shouldn't be listed.

I believe Mary Sue should be there given it's discussed in the game whether the character is one or not.

Read the Mary Sue page. There's banner at the top. You have to follow TV Trope's rules if you want to contribute.

EDIT: And speaking of, you still haven't fixed the Zero-Context Examples on the page.

Still seeing a lot of Zero Context Examples... just flesh those out and the page no longer counts as a stub, no longer at Cut List risk, and you can work on it at your own pace.
As for an alternative to Mary Sue to be used as a Discussed Trope, see the page: there is a whole list you can pick out of that can probably be used instead.

I feel you're not quite getting what context is.

Tropes are labels. The accompanied text should recap a scene of interest, providing a full independent exposition. Since trope names are not part of the context, "this" points to nothing. Write as if trope names are not present, then consider if the trope can be deduced from what's described.

Afterwards, ensure that the work page is liked to from present tropes by duplicating the examples.

This explains it better for me. I'm sorry for all the mistakes I'm making, I have little to no experience editing pages (T_T) I'm editing the page right now

^^^ Should have been more specific - - tropes like Mary Sue Classic and Common Mary Sue Traits, which are used in parodies and discussions and are mentioned on the page, are not Flame Bait /// Anyways, it's getting better, the clear cut Zero Context Examples I can see now is Multiple Endings and Event Flag
