So which human character(s) do you consider pre-pubescent? Assuming you meant "pedophile," and not "pedofeil."
In Norwegian, "feil" means error.pedoFEIL lolNOT pedophile
In Scotland, it means neat and cozy; comfortable. So a professional pedofeil is one whose career is to take care of pre-pubescent kids, providing a neat and cozy, comfortable place for them. Day care provider then?

Sorry, that was actually referencing Losersriot's comment. I lost track of who was whom in the conversation. My sincere apologies.

MAGIC PENIS! Seeing his cock changes everything for her:
A turning point in the story...
You could write a male with no redeeming qualities, and the guy could have zero chemistry with the girl at all. Could be a 30 year age gap, and the guy is ugly as fuck. There is just NO WAY this girl is going to be interested in him... No fucking way, get the fuck out of here! The guy can be the biggest creep in the world.
One day though... He will be spanking the monkey on his bed, or taking a big old shit with his cock flopping about, or taking his once in a month shower... A woman that had ZERO interest in him at all before will come up and randomly view his naked penis and she will just stand there like a deer caught in the headlights.
It's like a little invisible cupid is standing on his penis and fires an arrow right at her. She INSTANTLY falls in love with that penis and can think of nothing but his magical cock from that moment forward. All it takes is a little glance at the sausage and its for over for her.

I'm sure we already had this one, but I'm too lazy to look it up. But surely, that would have been one of the first ones.

Genre Revolution Resurrection: Revelations
A when titling a game, make sure to pick the most generic and overused word to communicate the game’s genre. Why expect people to waste precious seconds reading genre tags or descriptions when selecting a visual novel? By using these magic words in your title, thousands of players will flock to your game and then complain that it’s not exactly like other, more popular games that share its magic word. Examples of magic words:
Harem
Breeding
Family (or any other familial relationship like “Daughter”)
Corruption
Dungeon
Monster Girl
Trainer
Brothel

I would also add "My" and "New". "My New Family" is probably the most generic title on the site, and is appropriately a harem incest game, the most generic genre.
You can also add "my way", "my way home", "away from home", etc... If it's not the family it's home.
Add the word 'lust' to that list. So many games with titles that are shit word plays using that word

Raking in a Harem
The MC is a spirited chap, rude of health and red of blood, and feeling just a little horny, so what is there for him to do but to start relationships with multiple women? Maybe he cheats on a current partner, maybe he cleverly avoids committing to any partner. Maybe he sticks to two women or maybe he rakes in dozens of them. But eventually the curtain falls, the ladies find out he's involved with others behind their backs. So how do they respond to this reveal? Naturally, they nod their heads and go "yeah, seems cool, I can finger to this" and join his harem without any protest.
This is a harem trope where the MC just fucks as many women as he wants, doesn't inform any of them about it and hopes for the best and inexplicably it works. There's no easing them into it, no significant attempts at persuasion, no drama. It must've been "put up or shut up" and they all shut up.
Guys, please do not try this at home if you don't wanna be Bobbitted.
All By the Bi
The MC has laboured hard and mightily to collect a bevy of pretty women around him. But oh no, he finds out he has bitten off more than he can chew. How can he ever keep all of his dear love interests satisfied? Fear not! The ladies can just keep each other busy when the MC is occupied. They find out that they just happen to be as content with pussy as they are with dick, or at least the ladies are satisfied enough until he can make time for each. No one opts out from the pussy regime, no one has to slowly learn to like, all are fully converted to bi just so there's no jealousy. NTR averted!
What's crucial for this harem trope is that almost all the LIs are into fucking the other women in the harem and that many of them incidentally find out they are into women despite not ever having dated women. It's not just a few bi or bi-curious women who're into sex with other harem members. Often it's implied that the justification for the trope is to "avoid jealousy".
All Trans People Are Trans Women and All Trans Women Are Dickgirls
If a game has a trans character, the odds are that this is probably a trans woman with a penis. Trans men, trans women who've had bottom surgery and enbies don't exist in most of them, not even as background characters.
Optional Dickgirl
When a game gives you a choice whether you want to have another cis woman or go for the actual futa, trans woman or trap. Usually the character doesn't make a bit of sense as a cis woman, but who's going to complain really?

I worked on a game with that before... It is one of the worst pains in the ass as a developer I have ever dealt with. Because you need to change so many little lines of dialogue with a variable, and need to have two sets of renders for anything sexual. Sex animations... Need 2 for each 1. Almost twice the amount of work goes into a single character. Would advise against making a game with that option. If it's one of the MAIN characters it's even worse... Big head ache trying to make everyone happy... Better to just make them one or the other, and making them avoidable is way easier to avoid folks who don't want trans. Which come to think of it brings up another trope...
Avoidable Trans Girl
Got a t-girl in your game? Make her avoidable. Unless its all t-girls.

The Yoga trope should be called Sextivities because it's usually a bunch of different things:
Yoga (get those accidental feels)
Clothes shopping (Peek? Y/N)
Helping mom around the house (reduce anger/earn money/mom gets horny because her boy does chores ZOMG)
Going out for drinks (bonus chance of lewds)
Library (boost INT, meet shy/weird girl, advance plot)
Hit the pool (sunbathing, it puts the lotion on its skin, normal team watersports, wardrobe malfunction)
Gentleman's Club (your sister *will* work there at some point, pole dancers [you may be related], hookers [likewise-probably your aunt])
Party games (Never have I ever, spin the bottle, truth or dare)

Summertime Saga has to be the worst offender in this category. You have to make the MC admit to possibly being bisexual (???) for the trans character option to be available and even then, when she shows up later you still get another "DO YOU WANT HER TO HAVE A DICK?" option. And if you don't make her trans her entire backstory and character makes no sense anymore. She's afraid to get naked in front of you because of being trans, if she isn't trans she has a small scar on her belly she's ashamed of... right. Either put a trans character in your game or don't. This was so fucking retarded.

Something like a brain injury that led to a personality change or learning disability would have made a lot more sense with Eve in STS. The scar was pretty lazy. I can understand why the choice is there, however. It was uncomfortable at first to date a trap (the 69 was pretty hot though.) Credit to STS for including that route, at least.

Bikini Wax:
Every character in the game, from your little virgin sister to your mom who hasn't had sex since pa vanished to the hobo girl down the street. They're all perfectly smooth. Nobody has public hair of any kind, regardless of whether or not it'd make sense for them to. If they do by chance have some, it's a simple landing strip or something similar. No bushes allowed!
Plus-Sized:
There are no plus-sized woman in any game. Unless it's about plus-sized women specifically. Can't have a normal chubby girl hanging among the bikini models. Nope, can't do it. She might eat them or something I guess or the bikini models are gonna bully her.
Mirror Images:
The girls in the game are indistinguishable from each other. Same body types. Same way of talking. Same personality. You can take girl X and switch her with girl Y and nobody would notice. Harem games, specifically, are really bad at this.
Instant Cum:
Yeah, it may make you feel better about yourself IRL. But nobody should cum within 5 seconds of penetration. So many sex scenes are the lowest effort you can have. 1 render of dirty talk, 2 renders of penetration and then MC and the LI cum like volcanos. Also, there is never any post-sex intimacy. No cuddles. No teasing. Nothing. They don't even clean the gallon of cum leaking out of the girl or take a shower. The cum crust is probably thicker than the mantle of the earth.
Robot MC:
The MC is human by look only. He talks like a robot. Thinks like a robot. In fact, those paragraph long inner monologue speeches would make any robot jealous of MC's computing power and ability to recall random facts like a Wikipedia article. Nobody thinks like this. Nobody acts like this. Nobody, but
Manufactured Drama:
You can't create conflict organically via an interesting plot or characters. The only solution is some sappy teen romance flick. MC is torn between fucking X girl or Y girl, so he decides to fuck them both at the same time instead. But he feels really bad afterwards. The girls are conflicted about dating MC, despite knowing he is a player. So after many agonizing nights and a little depression, they become bisexual so they can share him.

Haha, nice slip. 'Public hair' is another trope; there are a few games with curlies poking out of undersized underpants.

Haven't played Summertime Saga, but it's interesting how it sounds like it goes in a viable direction with mutilation but then chickens out and fails to convince. Nobody cares about a small scar, but genital mutilation or a slave brand on the groin (placed by a gang or something) could work as an actual motivation why someone would be ashamed of getting naked in front of someone.
You should try Sorcerer if you haven't, it's imo done a fine job avoiding these tropes. Okay, the younger LIs are on the slim side, but there's absolutely a lot of variety in body types.
