Why “rising” beats “popular”

Most “trending tropes” lists tell you what's popular — which is often the same as telling you what's already saturated. This checker separates the tropes gaining momentum in Historical (Scottish) (where there's still room) from the ones that are hot-but-crowded and the ones quietly cooling off. This is a thin slice of what a full Tropesmith Map does for your specific book.
