One example could be 'The Lost World' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It's a classic that features an expedition to a prehistoric plateau.
Well, 'The Land of Painted Caves' by Jean M. Auel can be considered in a way. It takes us to a prehistoric world filled with different tribes and their ways of life. Although it may not be a typical 'lost world' in the strictest sense, it has elements that are related, like the exploration of a world that is very different from our modern one.
One key feature could be the exploration of uncharted or forgotten places, which is a common trope in such novels. Another might be the discovery of strange and unique creatures. Also, there could be a sense of adventure and danger as characters navigate this lost world.
I'm not sure which specific 'lost small world novel' you are referring to. There could be many novels with a theme related to a lost small world. Maybe you can try to be more specific, like mentioning the author or some plot details.
There's 'Beyond the Wall: A TV Tropes Adventure'. This fanfic is interesting as it focuses on areas of the 'Game of Thrones' world that are not as explored in the show. It uses the TV tropes like 'the chosen one' but in a very 'Game of Thrones' - esque way, with lots of moral ambiguity and complex characters.
There could be a fanfic on TV Tropes called 'Senju's Redemption'. In this fanfic, a Senju character who has been shunned by the clan for some reason tries to regain their honor. It might show how they use their unique Senju abilities, such as their strong life force or special jutsu, to prove themselves. It could also explore the reactions of other Naruto characters to this Senju's journey.
One great TV Tropes horror visual novel is 'Corpse Party'. It has a really creepy atmosphere and a complex story full of unexpected twists. The characters are well - developed, and it uses common horror tropes in unique ways to keep the player on edge.
One common trope is 'The Chosen One'. In many visual novels, the protagonist is presented as someone with a special destiny or ability that sets them apart. For example, in 'Fate/stay night', Shirou has the potential to be a powerful mage and is involved in a battle royale for the Holy Grail. Another trope is 'Love Triangle'. This often creates drama and tension as the protagonist has to choose between two love interests. In 'Clannad', Tomoya is caught between different female characters, each with their own charm and backstory. And then there's 'The Big Bad', a powerful antagonist that the protagonist must face. In visual novels like 'Zero Escape' series, there are complex villains with their own motives and plans that drive the story forward.
Another great one is 'At the Earth's Core' by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It takes readers to the hollow interior of the Earth where there are strange civilizations and prehistoric beasts.
One great example is 'The Lost World' by Michael Crichton. It takes readers on an exciting adventure into a prehistoric world filled with dinosaurs. Another is 'Annihilation' by Jeff VanderMeer. It has a really unique take on a lost world, a strange and otherworldly area called Area X. There's also 'Jurassic Park' which, although it's more well - known for the movies, the book is also a classic in the contemporary lost world genre.
One of the key aspects of the 'World War Z' novel in terms of TV tropes is the use of the 'Zombie Apocalypse' trope. It presents a world overrun by zombies in a very detailed and global scale. The novel uses the 'Everyman Hero' trope as well, with ordinary people rising to the occasion to fight against the undead. For example, the various characters from different parts of the world all have their own stories of survival and resistance.
In James Potter series fanfics, the 'Love Triangle' trope is quite popular. For example, there might be a situation where James is caught between two characters romantically. Also, the 'Secret Heritage' trope often shows up. It could be that a character discovers they have a hidden family connection or special power that has been kept from them.
