MC's girl is a peace princess who is always right and good.
The villain is comically evil or genocidal without a reason (Char in CCA had a reason, Rau in Seed had none).
Main hero survives because of the sudden piano from the bushes.
MC's girl is useless.
MC is afraid of killing.

This. Any character that has been developed enough for the audience to care about is going to add far more to the story by virtue of existing than the shock value you get from killing them off. You need to accomplish something more with their death.

Cicadas are good, you’re just trying to watch too much slices in a row. I’ve grown accustomed to them during the endless eight, and then I wanted them from time to time, so I’ve watched explicitly slices about school life. Then that period has lasted a bit too long and I started to hate them, but afterwards I always want to hear them again.

A VN called Sharin no Kuni. You play as a teenage corrections officer/ex-veteran in a very pretty police state. The three most important male characters fake disabilities throughout the entire game. Of these, the best friend character fakes insanity/retardation until just before the end, where he is pretty cool- but not enough to make up for how much of an insufferable dumbfuck he was for the rest of it.
