Tropes related to him and his works:
- Adaptation Decay: A bizarre example. The movie adaptations of Dika's books do not strictly follow the contents of them, but rather they present a completely new story, with themes from the books lifted into the movies.
- Animal Theme Naming: All of his books have animal names somewhere in the title.
- Binomium ridiculus: Dika's third book, Radikus Makankakus ("makan kakus" literally means "eating toilets").
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Kambingjantan is adapted from Dika's old blog while he's studying in Australia, and so it is brasher and chronologically ordered compared to his later books.
- Genre Popularizer: His comedic literature works apparently laid the foundation of "comedic books" genre in Indonesia in the 2000s, as his first work, Kambingjantan, was nothing else like any of books you'd find and expect in Indonesia at its inception in 2005.
- Spice Up the Subtitles: Inverted in the Netflix Indonesian subtitles of his films, where the Jakarta dialect are subtitled with standard Indonesian.
