The character remained popular even after the day had ended.

** The MC so far is the least developed due to being intentionally relegated to stock visual novel protagonist. Some people felt he was wasted as a character and would've loved to learn what inner demon he has.

** The MC so far is the least developed due to being intentionally relegated to stock visual novel protagonist. Some people felt he was wasted as a character and would've loved to learn what inner demon he has. It doesn't help that the game is predicated on showing how there's more to a character than their archetype and MC not getting the same treatment is seen as counterproductive.

** ''Plus'' reveals that the Protagonist ReallyWasBornYesterday and was ''always'' just a blank vessel for you to view the game world through. Given the game places a lot of emphasis on people realizing their role in the context of the game, what little agency he does exhibit despite his origins (such as his feelings of powerlessness over unscripted events like Sayori's death) indicates that he's not as empty of a shell as described by the in-universe dev. Any further insight into his thoughts is cut off after Monika starts openly interacting with ''you''. However, neither the story nor the devs were interested in exploring the Protagonist any further than as a vehicle.
* UnintentionallySympathetic: The nameless protagonist fits this wholesale. While the player character isn't a paragon of support and has a lot of snark for Sayori in particular, he does come to care for the girls in a very heartfelt manner. He's intended to be an unlikable stock VN protagonist, but [[ShallowParody this actually gives him more depth than most in the genre]]. He's not just out for sex and at least in the sections that are playable, does not take advantage of the girls at all. He's a genuinely NiceGuy, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold isn't always the best at showing it]]. And even though he's InnocentlyInsensitive, even when Sayori reveals her depression, he still tries incredibly hard to help and wants more than anything to make her feel better. And when she commits suicide, he's so burdened with guilt he blames himself for it. At the end of the day, he seems no worse than the average teenager put in a situation he isn't equipped to handle, [[Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad which honestly makes for a more interesting character]].

* NeverLiveItDown: Despite the fact that Sayori and Yuri have their qualities (especially in Act 1), people will always make jokes about how both of them died (Sayori via hanging, Yuri via stabbing herself). Doesn't help the fact that even Monika makes jokes on Sayori's death (even Team Salvato does, such as the Valentine series of pictures where Sayori is shown tying up knots). As for Yuri's death... let's just say that there are a ton of knife jokes out there. Yuri also has a disproportionate amount of jokes referring to her infamous "pen" remark. Monika has a minor case where she is associated with literally "deleting" her rivals.

* MagnificentBastard: [[Characters/DokiDokiLiteratureClubMonika Monika]] is the president of the Literature Club who gains MediumAwareness through her position of power. Unsatisfied with being the one girl whom the player is unable to romance, she takes matters into her own hands, manipulating the game's files to bring out the worst traits in the other girls to make them less appealing. When this doesn't work and the player reaches the end without spending time with her, she restarts the game with fewer girls, [[RealityWarper reworking the game mechanics]] so the player has no choice but to choose her. When she finally gets the player all to herself, she shows herself to be a perfectly decent being who's just desperate for real attention and genuinely wants to befriend the player. When her powers end up being used against her, she immediately restores her clubmates, having kept their files' backups, and swoops in to rescue the player if her successor attempts to abuse their power as club president as she did.
