A prevalent theme is the exploration of new abilities. Since they are in a different world, the female characters usually have the opportunity to develop or discover abilities they didn't have before.

They form new friendships in the new world which help them in their journey. In 'The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent', the female lead makes friends who support her.
