They don't have pages because nobody has made them yet. But because This Is a Wiki, you could make the pages yourself.

It was a TLP... Not sure what happened to it... Ah:

Well, when that gets launched, it'll be 1/3 of the needed tropes, Long Title would likely be the second... third would likely be Medieval European Fantasy, or a Reincarnation trope?

True ... We're just worrying that our lack of skill making one, would make the pages look like garbage when doing the info sections. The most editing we've done was for Sunset Shimmer Is Mad About Everything, and adding the cannon timeline to the main page. (That and we're mostly used to using BBC and basic HTML, so we're not 100% sure on how to do alot of the unique formatting on the tropes site.)

Welcome to TV Tropes should help you with markup, the Sandbox namespace and TLP are both useful for starting a page that you want help with.

As noted by Serac, nine times out of ten, whenever somebody asks "why hasn't anyone done X yet?" the answer is "Because nobody has done X yet."

If You'd like you can make one yourself. The site runs on their is no such thing as notability.

Hi, I'm the creator of Stock Light-Novel Hero and Formula with a Twist, and it was through both of those pages that I learned about "Villainess". One of my motivations for creating both of those pages was because I happen to be a huge fan of these types of works and wanted to find more of it. To wit, I also created a page for The8th Son Are You Kidding Me and a few other LN works.

Really, it seems like it's just me and a couple of other dedicated fans who create work pages, and we can't read and watch everything, and even if we did, creating and curating these pages takes work. So if you're aware of more works that fit these genres and have examples that can fit on either of the aforementioned pages, feel free to add them.

That's the way it typically goes, unfortunately; unless a work is super popular, you can't expect someone else to have already made the page for you. If it exists, great! If not, though, that means it's up to you. A lot of the work pages I've created have been relatively obscure works that nobody else cared enough about to make the page for- I make them because I'm a big fan and care about them enough to do so.

But I also find that making work pages can feel really cool and rewarding because you're expanding the database, especially if you're expanding a niche genre not a lot of other tropers are familiar with. So while we all often wish someone else would've come along at some point to do the work, it's also rewarding to actually make the page, at least in a personal pride sorta way. So go ahead and make the pages, just get a handle for our formatting and example-writing rules first.

@Nubian Satyress, will do. Thanks ^_^.

@Nazetrime, I mentioned that in OP (to quote. "Other than ..."), but yep. That was the page that got us originally into the Otome Isekai genre.

@Crazy Samaritan, Thank you for the advice ^_^. We'll hit that up and give it a whirl.

If you’re nervous about the page, go through the links posted and then post it here so experienced people can look through it :)
