One common theme is power - up. The demigod characters often start with their natural demigod abilities and then gain new skills or power - ups through the gaming experiences. Another theme is the clash of two worlds. Since they are demigods in a gaming world, there's always the conflict between their divine nature and the digital rules of the game. For example, in many stories, they might have to hold back their full demigod strength to fit within the game's power limits.
Well, identity is a big theme. Demigods in gamer fanfiction often struggle with their identity. Are they more of a demigod or more of a gamer? There's also the theme of friendship and rivalry. They form alliances with other gamers or demigods in the game world, but also face rivalries. In some stories, a demigod might befriend a normal gamer and together they try to conquer difficult levels in the game. The exploration of the game world, which is different from their demigod - familiar realms, is also a common theme.
