Some Good Underrated Tropes please

[MasterHiatus]

In the world of anime, manga, light novel and stuff, we enjoy overrated tropes if used right. But I want to do something unique so I wanna ask, what are some tropes that you've seen and said, "I would like to see more novels adding this trope."

Bromance. Where it be the manliest genre, like doing bro stuff, saving girls with your bros, driving with them, beating people with your bro, having that epic bro moment and doing manly stuff.

Damn fujoshi turning everything gay like weebs turning everything anime.

 

[MasterHiatus]

Yeah, not really the power of friendship so I say yes to this!

I don't read a lot of gender bender stories, so I don't know if it's underrated or overrated. I think a story where a character went through a gender bender and then managed to return to initial gender isn't really popular.
I do like a trope where enemies come to love each other. And it's rarely done right. I mean without the rape that is usually used in Chinese novels with such trope. And without a usual Japanese novel about revenge where they swap enemies with friends and vice versa. A genuine falling in love with your enemy is quite rare in novels. Especially when it's the protagonist who falls in love and leaves his comrade\friends, instead of showing the enemy that he\she lived an awful life.

• A trope where a character slaps (can be literal or non-literal) the annoying tsundere characters.
• A trope where character A (could be the POV) is normal and married character B who happens to be some big shot (if modern, can be a military general, Chairman of a super-company, a superhero/superheroine, super-assassin, high ranking special agent, etc.)
• A trope where a whole family, considered normal in public, is in actuality a super-family/assassins/etc.
• A trope where a character got transported into another world, but rather than becoming a paragon, he instead chose to rule or just rampage (Like the novel "FFF-Trash Hero")

I don't read a lot of gender bender stories, so I don't know if it's underrated or overrated. I think a story where a character went through a gender bender and then managed to return to initial gender isn't really popular.

In my story, Consequences of Magic, both of the characters who undergo gender bends (Natalie and Vince) are back by the end of the novel. Of course, Natalie (originally Martin) underwent a swap in the first novel (On My Best Behavior), so it's a reversion back to being Natalie again, but I think it counts!

Great actors. I really don't know if it's common or not but I want to read or watch something where the main character is super nice and so tolerant it gets on your nerves, and then at the end totally betrays everyone and like, kills them or something.

probably something like: collective thoughts from people can shape the world to a better or worse place, like literally. when a group of people think positive thoughts, the city and its exterior become more like heaven, and vice-versa.

planescape; torment did it pretty well, and i'm curious to see more like it.

Reincarnated into an Otome game. But MC is one of the capture targets, and not the villainess, heroine, or a mob character.

Monsters where the monster stays as a monster and doesn't become human partway through
