TVTropes Plot Generator
Sounds like fun so I cranked one out.

We say "story generator", but it should probably be "story idea generator". These elements from the trope indexes should spark an idea or two.
Setting:    One Gender School
Plot:    Identity Impersonator
Narrative Device:    A Boy And His X
Hero:    Adventure Series
Villain:    Murderous Mannequin
Character As Device:    Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?
Characterization Device:    Always Female

Wonder what that makes.

EDIT:
Ah I got it, Magic academy for girls that uses dolls for magic, the protagonist is a trap doing odd jobs to py school fees, the BBEG is a killer independent doll.

Setting:    Orphanage Of Fear
Plot:    Madden Into Misanthropy
Narrative Device:    The Climax
Hero:    The Cape
Villain:    Four Eyes Zero Soul
Character As Device:    Black And Nerdy
Characterization Device:    Guttural Growler

Woah, grim.

I am surprised this does not already exist. Expect someone in Japan to see this post and turn it into a light novel within a month or two.

Woah, grim.

A superhero helps out in an orphanage as part of his civilian persona, causing him to lose faith in humanity and destroy the world? Or use a Villain Protagonist, who idolised a superhero until collateral damage got him sent to an orphanage and he grew up into a supervillain.

In a city of free traders, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, a man's life is seemingly ruined. He is removed from office by an arbitrary and capricious recall by his political opponents after a difficult but necessary choice. The (short) man who ascends to office has to deal with the complex and difficult to understand operations of the city, finding himself in over his head and coming to regret the actions that brought down the prior ruler, and beholden to the interests of the transnational corporations that paid to put him in power, the representatives of which he speaks with by speakerphone at most -- no video. By the end the ruler put in place turns to the ways of the former as a teacher, and wisdom is vindicated.

She's a mighty angel that insists on helping humanity even after centuries of witnessing their flaws first-hand. He's a (not so) mighty angel  that however makes up for his lack of raw power by being a walking library of obscure lore. They're siblings from Heaven, mortals cannot see them, and they must find an high-ranking archangel gone rogue and killing anyone that commits the smallest sins, by use of sophisticated poisons that can't be traced back to him. The heroes must track whatever clues they can get their hands on to bring the villain to justice!
