A sequel, ''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16726168530A59523400&page=1 City of Lost Characters Season 2: New Game Plus+]]'', launched in 2023.

''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14451763300A39080500 City of Lost Characters]]'' is a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover PlayByPostGame running on the TV Tropes forum, created by Firock Finion as a SpiritualSuccessor of ''Roleplay/TheMassiveMultiFandomRPG''.

* RantInducingSlight: Louie, seeing Thomas and Lewis having a confrontation, has his Pelipper drench Lewis in a torrent of water, breaking Lewis's new phone. Lewis, having just had an argument with Ben and with two days' worth of stress built up, goes on a tirade about the City Knights being immature and incapable.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: As of Day 24, there have been about 150 different player characters (although some starred in just a handful of posts). The cast of [=NPCs=] is also quite sizeable.

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe:
** Rex never really forgives Miss Tairee for her forgiving Mary and even giving Mary a goodbye gift, in what Rex sees as Mary being EasilyForgiven.
** After Ghostfreak gets killed by [[VideoGame/ClockTower a hunchback armed with giant scissors]] on Day 13, Eve keeps taunting him with the words "Hunchback. Scissors" whenever they meet.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Many characters. [[VideoGame/NiNoKuni Cassiopeia's]] is green, [[WesternAnimation/InsideOut Sadness']] is blue, and so on. Lampshaded by Sans who comments that Caro looks like an anime character due to her pink hair.

** Or Forum RPG time. Each day is scheduled to take at least two weeks, if not more, and the whole thing[[note]]which will last one month, or thirty days, of ingame time[[/note]] will take place, as stated by Firock, between one year and ''four.''
** Lampshaded by Bill Cipher after the hiatus: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14451763300A39080500&page=352#8796 "Does anyone else have the feeling they've been suspended in time for about a week?"]]

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Ben's opinion of [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragonfly]], his fairy-tale version of Stinkfly for Day 4. Of course, when the actual dragon shows up later, Ben doesn't seem too enthused.
