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 Romantasy (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.
