* DarkerAndEdgier: The fic is darker than the original game, with Adachi providing a far more cynical viewpoint compared to the much lighter, comedic tone of the game. Yosuke and Chie, two of the most prominent comic relief characters, [[DeathByAdaptation die early on]], many of the comedic moments are pared down or removed altogether, and the Killer gets a much higher body count.

* AdaptationalWimp: Adachi, when compared to both his canon self and Yu Narukami (whose role he takes). He lacks the insane natural talent his canon self possessed with Personas, and his inability to form bonds throughout the first half of the story stunts his growth as a Wild Card. He does eventually grow out of this after he develops as a Wild Card, though.
