Arclei

- Gender role reversal (a matriarchy in Ooku, a male courtesan in Homme Fatale)
- ML is a free spirit, FL is reserved
- Very slight romance
- ML hangs out with women often (as a courtesan in HF and as a 'lover' in Ooku (it's more of a favor than a paid service if you catch my drift...))
- Jealous men sabotage ML
- Kinda bittersweet, melancholic vibes

Homme Fatale is more comedy focused while Ooku is darker and somber.

- Matriarchies (few men due to sickness in Ooku, no men due to law in Laplae)
- Important plot point related to pregnancy
- Royalty FL (Shogun in Ooku, Queen's daughter in Laplae)
- Reluctant, free-spirit and kind MLs
- Gender role reversal themes

Laplae is lighter, more romance focused and more fantastical than Ooku.
