Summary
Masquerade, defined as a verb, is "to assume the appearance of something one is not". As a noun, it becomes "a social gathering of persons wearing masks and often fantastic costumes".
The nature of a Wild Card is to be whatever card it wants. A Wild Card suits the situation and seeks to gain the most benefit in otherwise unfortunate circumstances. With countless opportunities, one card, person, or mask could mean the difference between Victory or Ruin.
For Ren Amamiya, a high school student buried by a million masks, all he can do is try to find some purpose to the museum of his learned behaviors. A theater of pure mimicry with a show that might please everyone.
Until a tragedy tears away everything Ren thought he knew and what little he held dear.
With Ren's life forcibly torn away from him, he now must find himself in the rubble of his personal masquerade or be devoured by his obsessive collection.
Whatever remains of him, at the very least...

Summary
With a history of crime and a past marred and pulled by trouble, it was no surprise Ren Amamiya would only end up burying himself even deeper into such a troubled rut.
Finally on his last chance following a crime that he certainly did commit, Ren has one final shot to wring his life around and prove that all of the trouble he caused was worth whatever changes he would amount to in the end.
Now with his new probation officer in Tokyo and preparing for his final chance at saving his own skin, Ren has to find a way to solve the trouble that always keeps finding him without the aid of any additional powers.
No masks, no personas, no twin wardens or Metaverse.
Just his own two fists and whoever decides to get wrapped along with his tendency for trouble.

Summary
To understand the present and the eventual future, one must understand the past that lead up to such a moment.
Back before the Palaces, back before the Shutdowns, and back before the Masquerade or a False Arrest, there was a Velvet Void.
A Velvet Void where a game would be wagered, and two cards would meet in opposition.

Summary
Ren Amamiya was arrested for a crime he didn't commit. He was shunned and sent away from his hometown to live in Shibuya, and for the next year, he has to attend Shujin Academy. If he gets into trouble once, he can kiss his future goodbye.
In another universe, he would have gained the power to summon gods and demons, and the ability to change the hearts of the most evil criminals.
Not in this one. Here, he's just a 'regular' high school student, and this time, he has no mask to hide behind. How will he fare navigating through all of the rumors, and with his tragic past haunting him, how long will it take before any friends he makes abandon him too?

This one is awesome! Delinquent Ren is a nice change of pace, and his dynamic with Makoto in this one is absolutely premium! Plenty of changes to Canon that just make this one *such* a good read. I recommend it!

Summary
He’s a disgraced veteran back from war. She’s a cynical lawyer who lost her own.
Keisuke Amamiya had built a brilliant career in the U.S. Air Force, but the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 put an end to it. Now, traumatized and disillusioned, he returns to his younger brother in Tokyo, forced to battle the ghosts of his past under the fire of public condemnation.
Post-canon, five years after Joker and the gang beat a god. The idea was born while I was reading famous ShuMako fanfic, in which Sae desperately wished Ren had a handsome older brother. The plan is to introduce characters from other games in the Persona series as the narrative progresses.

Summary
Uncle Tatsuya smiled at her with kindness and love before pressing his Zippo lighter into her hands. The words “What is most important cannot be seen with one’s eyes” were engraved on its surface.
“It’s yours now, kiddo.” He whispered, his eyes telling her that everything would be okay. “Something to remember me by.”

Hey, so this is actually just straight up peak fiction, and I think everyone who's read DoN should absolutely read this one. It's an absolute necessity because its honestly unmatched in what it does. Truly iconic, please read it.
