This page lists tropes of literary work Always Visible (Another Prayer for the Dying Horror Genre) by Russian author Vitaly Ivolginsky, starting with the letter A.
For compiling the list, we bring our thanks to “tv|tropes” website.

List of tropes
- Wall of Text: Three hundred or so pages, in which there is little dialogue, but a lot of pseudo-philosophical reasoning about what the author has no understanding of at all – that’s what this work is.
- Would Hurt a Child: It is described that when Delia was five years old, her father kicked her out of dinner just because she did not say a grace.
- The Watson: This is exactly what Galbraith and Schaeymoure’s relationship looks like. It is not surprising, since the author copied both heroes from the images of Yuri Solomin and Vasily Livanov in the role of Doctor Watson and Sherlock Holmes, respectively.
- Wham Line: Galbraith’s dialogue with Matt MacLaren about something being found inside Delia’s uterus that is not pregnancy. “No, it wasn’t pregnancy, this is something else”…
- Whole Episode Flashback: In fact, the entire zero act is a detailed analysis of the events described in the second, with the only difference being that if in the latter case the reader followed Jordan Thurlow, then in the zero act the actions are described on behalf of Delia herself.
- Window Love: Jordan Thurlow falls in love with Delia after seeing her by chance in the window when she just moved into his neighbour house.
- Worldbuilding: Lampshade Hanging. The action itself takes place in real-life places, but the author adds strange and unrealistic details to emphasize the madness that surrounds the protagonists.
