* YouWereTryingTooHard: The highest-level native demon (ie not counting the Bear) in history was the Goose Sage, who turned out ''not to even know'' what level he was. When asked to write about how he achieved such a high level, he responded that he had never once focused on it. He solved problems (which is how the Sage class advances) because he loved solving problems. He valued the money he was paid for solving problems, primarily because it gave him the time and freedom to solve more. He didn't pay any attention to notifications or his status screen at all, just allocated all his points to Wisdom.
--> '''Goose Sage:''' If my experiences teach you nothing else, let them teach you this. The potential for growth lies in loving your work and attempting to do it better each day.

* EnlightenedSelfInterest: The System likes to reward collaboration and cooperation; Ella assures Arthur that it gives a generous division of experience for jointly completed work. Milo relies on that when away from home and looking for help from a more experienced smith.
--> '''Milo:''' Prototyping is the first big phase. For the prototyping, the smith with the highest level tends to get the lion's share of the credit as far as the system is concerned. But now that I've made the prototype, and tested it, there's plenty of credit to go around. I can't refine it away from my shop. Which means I need a full shop, and also help, lots of it. Win-win.

* GivingRadioToTheRomans: Downplayed, as Arthur's memories of Earth have been intentionally blurred by the System to make it easier for him to adjust and be happy in his new life, and he wasn't exactly an expert on chemistry or metallurgy or electronics in any case. Furthermore, the existence of classes and stats means that industrialisation is simply not needed in the demon world, since society can be well above subsistence level just based on people being supernaturally productive. Arthur does, however, manage to describe an outline of a vehicle shock absorber, which Milo and Spiky quickly comprehend and construct a prototype for.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Corbin is a cat demon with a stealth class -- so after being introduced, he rarely makes an appearance, presumably because he's practising his stealth and so no-one realises he's there. When he eventually gets a chapter from his own point of view, his inner monologue mentions how advancing his stealth skills has left him feeling isolated, that "He was close to the action, but not quite part of it. The plot, as it were, was advancing without him. The world was becoming someone else's story."
