* GenderBender: Technically not, this was what Mynx intended from the the Issiod’rian Sexual Reassignment ray - to try and punish "Kevin" and with forced transformation and make Plynx no longer interested in "him". She fails on both counts as Plynx is bisexual and "Kevin" immediately experiences gender euphoria once transformed and begins to socially transition more or less immediately.

* TransparentCloset: Svetlana and Cartidge waste little time in switching to female pronouns, and picking new names (Svetlana had been thinking about hers for years), experiencing gender euphoria and it still take them having a conversation with nonbinary character Geordi for them both realise they both were always trans. Up till then they both had worried they'd been disrespectful to other trans-feminine people.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: The setting of the plot is intentionally reminiscent of the type of harem show where the protagonist also has to fight alien invaders as well as deal with harem shenanigans but we are thrown into the middle of this plot and the focus is on Svetlana and Cartridge's lives and relationships after being transformed.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: Happened before the reader enters the plot, the reader [[InMediaRes can piece together]] that were this a conventional Harem story that Svetlana (known at the time as Kevin) being revealed to be the heir the Galactic Empire would be what attached several of the love interests to her.

Added DiffLines:

* RichBitch: Augusta is easily the most abrasive and judgemental of the love interests and is ridiculously wealthy.
* RoyalBrat: Augusta [=Hozenberg-Lemonov-Bouragne=] is apparently heiress to practically half of Europe, she also is rude, violent, and the least accepting of Svetlana's trans status believing the transformation ray to have messed with "Kevin's" head. This is largely due to her strict Catholic upbringing and wanting to have Svetlana's child so that the [=Hozenberg-Lemonov-Bouragne=] estate will have a male heir.

!!This novel provides examples of:
* BattleHarem: Plynx is an alien soldier, Thisbe has vampire powers, O’tmyil is the A.I. that can fight on her own but usually is the onboard A.I. for Svetlana's [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman battle uniform]], Augusta and Vivian are ordinary humans but both have martial arts training. They frequently have to fight invaders from the Kobaroian empire who come to attack Svetlana.
* ClosetKey: Svetlana acts as this to [[spoiler:both Thisbe and Augusta, though Thisbe reacts a lot better to it than Augusta]]. Inverted with Vivian who says pre-transformation "Kevin" was the only reason she though she might be bisexual, turns out it was more a case of IfItsYouItsOkay.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Svetlana can don a superpoweful alien battle uniform by activating a small disk that is effectively O’tmyil's brain - O’tmyil being the onboard A.I. for the suit.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: The setting of the plot is intentionally reminiscent of the type of harem show where the protagonist also has to fight alien invaders as well as deal with harem shenanigans but we are thrown into the middle of this plot and the focus is on Svetlana and Cartridge's lives and relationships after being transformed.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: Happened before the reader enters the plot, the reader [[InMediaRes can piece together]] that were this a conventional Harem story that Svetlana (known at the time as Kevin) being revealed to be the heir the Galactic Empire would be what attached several of the love interests to her.
* TransparentCloset: Svetlana and Cartidge waste little time in switching to female pronouns, and picking new names (Svetlana had been thinking about hers for years), experiencing gender euphoria and it still take them having a conversation with nonbinary character Geordi for them both realise they both were always trans. Up till then they both had worried they'd been disrespectful to other trans-feminine people.
* TransTribulations: Whilst Svetlana has a lot of support from a lot of the cast she still experiences issues with some of her romantic partners, and a lot of self doubt about her identity at first. Cartridge is implied to have far less supportive parents but this only hinted at as it seems they aren't in contact anymore.
