The Anime Trope System

Clyde is thrown into the anime world and declared the Stone — the main character destined to one day kill the Viper or lose Earth. A comedic tale of a young man versus cliche anime tropes, with girls falling in love over anything, yanderes, and RPG-style leveling. Will Clyde find the true purpose of this cruel game before the tropes consume him?

The story continues in Satovia. Clyde still battles the anime tropes but no longer dances entirely at the watchers' fingertips. His friends' real problems intertwine with his mission, and casting aside selfishness, he begins awakening his true power.

Clyde's next threat takes the form of a classmate in descent, while he must also deal with monster-girl hornets, prepare for a vampire encounter, and depose Alice's father — a demon lord — once and for all. Meanwhile, a new rival grows rapidly, and the gods are starting to take notice.

Festival time — until the vampires crash it. Clyde continues to strengthen himself against the Viper while figures and organizations begin moving in the background. Humor, combat, and more anime girl hearts accidentally captured.

A brief respite for exams and relaxation — or so it seems. Someone left a certain potion in the fridge, the team ninja refuses to develop common sense, and a threat that has lurked in the city since the beginning finally demands attention.

A questline from the early volumes finally pulls Clyde's interest: Niyoto, a city where the party meets a suspicious group claiming to fight for humanity, faces crazy cultists, and encounters a demon lord with a very different personality than expected.

Melody's father sends his elite guard to retrieve her, but the redhead has no intention of complying — she must awaken a dormant bloodline. Meanwhile, Toru's Crusader uncle pays a visit to the mansion, and what he does changes the party forever.

The school cultural festival arrives, and the group sets out to have fun — until Clyde must defend Noona from perverts, face someone's evil mother, and contend with the arrivals of a Crusader champion, the Wind, and Dark. Sometimes god mode is the only answer.

Proposing to Tear has steep consequences. The Supreme Demon Lord sends an inquisition of one hundred to retrieve the noble succubus. Clyde and Team Stone stand against it — but they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

The dragon investigation quest proves far larger than Team Stone imagined. The Falcon, one of five dimensional interlopers, makes his debut — and it isn't a warm welcome. With Stone Mode recharging, Clyde must rely on his team as they take their first step toward a mandatory mission.

The journey begins — a hilarious road trip, vicious training, the introduction of new maidens, and a guest from the Infinite Library. The party faces persistent obstacles and at last confronts a being who has harassed them since volume three.

What should be a simple blessing quest turns into a political crisis: the nation of Alon faces wizards attempting to oust the royal family. Can Team Stone stop the coup — especially when the Viper himself is reportedly roaming the city?

The Stone and the Falcon finally settle things. Also at stake: a World Star Fragment held by a restaurant tycoon. Clyde and Team Stone bring the humor and the combat in the October issue of their ongoing battle toward the ultimate goal.

A slice-of-life volume of training and a visit from the Queen of Hearts — building toward a god-versus-god confrontation. The Disciple, the dragon woman who led the charge against the Kitsune Clan, looms on the horizon. What happens when Harumi gets incredibly angry?

The consequences of forbidden magic, allying with the goddess Venus, and growing too powerful have finally caught up with Team Stone. Can Clyde and his party survive one of the most ruthless divisions of the Punishment Squad, Celestial's executioners? The first Super Volume of the series.

Clyde turns his attention to a quest he has long ignored: weakening Natalia's curse. What should be a walk in the park leads to the Monster Kingdoms, hosted by Lilith the Supreme Demon Lord herself, the Bright Ones appearing for the first time, and an epic rematch no one will want to miss.

The Bright Ones attack again — a magical girl with unique abilities launches a harassment campaign against Team Stone. With the Thousand Year Dragon approaching and the Viper's final fight drawing near, there is precious little time to rest.

The time for Amina's mission arrives. Bound to Clyde as her deck leader, they must triumph over an organization that has harassed the realms she protected for centuries — and at last confront Niphlem, the chaos god. Card games, slice-of-life, and Stone Mode all in one volume.

For the first time, the universes witness what kind of power Clyde's unborn daughter already wields — giga-geysers of energy that force him to scramble and survive. The Fallen God makes her move, Team Viper begins to mobilize, and Thor the God of Thunder is sent to scout. Can Clyde best a legendary deity?

The final battle of the stone-viper games arrives. Clyde and Aunder face off for Satovia, with Aunder's convictions — and his methods — finally brought into the light. Season 1 finale: who will you side with?

Season 2 begins. The truth of the stone-viper fight is revealed: Clyde and Team Stone triumphed against all odds, including the weight of Taint itself. But the stone-viper games were only phase one. A dark revelation looms — what lies beyond the authors of Taint and Purity? What else slumbers?

Season 2 continues. A threat from her father pushes Melody to seek progress in her quest to save her home realm. Meanwhile, Clyde must learn to control his new, ridiculous strength. The true OP MC story — or rather, the Super OP MC — has begun in earnest.

The mystery of the Stone Father continues to unravel. The party must gather components for a platform that will transport them to Utopius, Melody's home realm — but will the Author of Taint let the task proceed easily? Meanwhile, Fatalus, Goddess of Curses, begins to change.

Team Stone is tasked with defeating a brutal raid to liberate the people of Utopius — and Fatalus is coming along. Can they conquer the raid and repair Melody's homeland, or will this prove too much even for them?

A division of the Crusaders known as Camp X-666 is en route to Lot City to recover all items from the late Hideo's Lab, led by a member of the Order. Can Clyde and Team Stone take one step toward avenging Chizuru? Meanwhile, Unity Day preparations demand gathering gifts for lovers and allies alike — including appeasing some very demanding parents.

Being a parent for overpowered babies is extremely difficult — funny, cute, and terrifying in equal measure. Clyde and Team Stone continue their Season 2 journey, kicking off new chapters of family, humor, and the ongoing search for the truth of the Stone's origins.
