History FanFic / InAnotherWorldWithJustMonika

It features Playa, an [[OriginalCharacter OC]] SelfInsert style protagonist replacing Touya's role in Isekai Smartphone's setting with Monika from DDLC as his smartphone's operating system. Shenanigans ensue as the self-appointed Zah Playa von [[CharClone Chara]] and his snarky waifu travel through a more realized fantasy world, meeting all sorts of interesting people and using modern economic theory to set themselves up for life. Also, to make lots of memes. Lots and lots of memes.

* CharClone: The look is very much {{Invoked}} on himself by Playa. One of the first things he does in the new world is to commission the outfit.

* CoolMask: Playa fancies himself a CharClone, so the mask goes without saying.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12909614/1/In-Another-World-with-JUST-MONIKA In Another World with JUST MONIKA]] is a ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' and ''LightNovel/InAnotherWorldWithMySmartphone'' crossover by [[Fanfic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K Charles]] [[Webcomic/MerStory Bhepin]], notable for being a really well-balanced mix of CrackFic and RationalFic.

* AdaptationalWimp: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Playa and Monika got [[LightNovel/InAnotherWorldWithMySmartphone Touya]]'s powers split between themselves. Playa got the [[TheArchmage high-affinity for all six elements]], while Monika can learn any Null spell she sees.

* NoNameGiven: The protagonist is only known by the name he came up with for himself after arriving to ''LightNovel/InAnotherWorldWithMySmartphone'' world. It bothered Monika enough that she wrote a poem about it.

* AnEntrepreneurIsYou: Much like [[LightNovel/{{Konosuba}} Kazuma Satou]], Playa is a lot better at making money by importing ideas from Earth than living off adventuring. Elze sometimes has to drag him to go on a quest or else he will just play around, as his various investments provide him with stable income.

* AdaptationalWimp: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Played and Monika got [[LightNovel/InAnotherWorldWithMySmartphone Touya]]'s powers split between themselves. Playa got the [[TheArchmage high-affinity to all six elements]], while Monika can learn any Null spell she sees.
* AdventureGuild: After hearing how it's like, Monika wondered if it wasn't just "Fantasy Craigslist."
* AlternativeCalendar: The new world has 30-days months and 16-months years. That and healing magic makes age tricky to translate from or to Earth years. For example, Princess Yumina is stated to be 12, but according to Earth's calendars, she'd be 15 and change.

* BlindWithoutEm: Playa is legally blind and anything more than two steps away from him is an indistinct blur. While he owns prescription glasses, he stopped using them after piecing together an alternative with a VR headset, camera lenses and a high-specs smartphone.
* CelibateEccentricGenius: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. The consensus in Belfast is that Court Magician Charlotte is like this given her long string of suitors that simply couldn't hold her attention at all despite their efforts. Problem is, she's not actually asexual, just something of a late bloomer because she SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining and having [[TheFairFolk Le]][[DirtyOldWoman en]] around during her formative years didn't do her any favors. Playa hitting her GeekyTurnOn buttons can make things very awkward, very fast, because Charlotte's, er, ''elation'' to a genuinely stimulating intellectual conversation is pretty much indistinguishable from sexual arousal.

* ConsummateLiar: Playa's BS-ing skills may as well be his real superpower. Monika is suspicious of how somebody would get so good at lying.

* CrazyPrepared: Playa carried around terabytes of useful data of all kinds before waking up in a fantasy world, including a folder named "Everything You Ever Need to Restart Civilization from Scratch." Monika outright asked him if he was hoping for something like getting TrappedInAnotherWorld to happen, but he deflected the question by saying that just like there are people who has a "Zombie Plan" ready, he made a "Isekai Plan" just for the fun of it.

** Polygamy is legal in the region of the fantasy world Playa and Monika arrive to. This shows in the fact Linze wants to get together with him at the same time she deeply respects his relationship with Monika.

* TheEmpath: Princess Yumina's [[MagicalEye Mystic Eyes]] allow her to "see" how a person is really like. Playa confuses the heck out of her because his "true self shine the brightest" when he behaves in an obviously overdramatic way, but he falls into denial whenever someone shows actual admiration for him. [[spoiler:She has never seen a self-medicating Manic Depressive before]].
* AnEntrepreneurIsYou: Much like [[LightNovel/{{Konosuba}} Kazuma Satou]], Playa is a lot better at making money by importing ideas from Earth than living off adventuring. Elze sometimes has to drag him to go on a quest or he will just play around as his various investments provide him with stable income.

* GenderRarityValue: A realistic example. The last war between Belfast and Regulus killed guys in droves 20 years ago. This is the reason why so many unmarried girls like Aer run their own small businesses despite their otherwise MedievalEuropeanFantasy societal standards. This could be a factor on their cultural acceptance of polygamy.

* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: The party defeated [[spoiler:a Fraze]] during their quest in the Old Capital in an amazingly epic battle, yet the can't tell anyone about it because [[spoiler:they endangered the kingdom by awakening the near-unkillable creature in the first place.]]

** Monika's own hamtastic tendencies and a limited demonstration of Time Reversal Powers has people mistaking her for a terrifying Goddess that has been erasing Playa's memory starting from childhood raising and loving him each time in a HikaruGenjiPlan.
* ManChild: Elze outright calls Playa one. PlayedWith in that he doesn't seem to be that old, but for the standards of a medieval fantasy world, he certainly counts as an adult. Ironically it also irritates her when he sits down and does serious adult things like business management, to the point of dragging him off to adventure before he grows fat and lazy.

** The recent chapter titles for the TournamentArc doubled down on this with "Heapbigwoman","Milkmage","Stabulous", and "Carryburdens". Playa is apparently [[Videogame/BaldursGate "Charname"]].

** The story summary is '''Player and Monika's Completely Wrong Genre-Savvy Adventures'''. They tend to assume that they're in a different genre than what they're presently living through. What Touya did to [[TheSummation show off like a detective]] they accidentally turned into a complete [[Videogame/CrusaderKings political shitstorm ]].

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Playa fights [[spoiler: and kills]] a dragon with spells copied from Skyrim while Monika sings "The Dragonborn Comes" to complete the atmosphere.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Playa fights [[spoiler: and kills]] a dragon with spells copied from Skyrim while Monika sings "The Dragonborn Comes" to complete the atmosphere.

* ChekhovsGun: Elze's throwing bullets and Playa's sword-spear. The fact they're made out of metal becomes very relevant when [[spoiler:the party accidentally wakes up the Fraze trapped in SuspendedAnimation in the Old Capital.]]

** Monika gradually cultivates an image as a goddess attached to Playa and milks it for all it's worth around Belfast's royal family.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Playa considers Elze a damn fine bro.
-->'''Playa:''' Ow! What the hill! ''[clutches his nose]'' What the alive sounds of music was that for?!\\
'''Elze:''' No reason. You were just looking so self-satisfied, I felt like I had to hit you.\\
'''Playa:''' You're not a tsundere, you're just an asshole! ''[makes a thumbs up]'' I LIKE IT.

* AdaptationalWimp: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Played and Monika got [[LightNovel/InAnotherWorldWithMySmartphone Touya]]'s powers split between themselves. Playa got the [[TheArchmage high-affinity to all six elements]], while that Monika learn any Null spell she comes across with.

* TheEmpath: Princess Yumina's [[MagicalEye Mystic Eyes]] allow her to "see" how a person is really like. Playa confuses the heck out of her because his "true self shine the brightest" when he behaves in an obviously overdramatic way, but he falls into denial whenever someone shows actual admiration for him.

* LargeHam: Playa in spades. Upgraded to HamToHamCombat whenever [[OriginalCharacter Zorah]] enters the scene.

--->Playa> With ''Mah Lady Monika Sal Vateu deu Tragoniste.''

* HasAType: While he doesn't act on it, "super-hot super-nerd" Charlotte hits ''all'' of Playa's buttons. Monika finds his attraction to her so inevitable that it barely registers.

* ManChild: Elze outright calls Playa one. PlayedWith in that he doesn't seem to be that old, but for the standards of a medieval fantasy world, he certainly counts as an adult.

* NoNameGiven: The protagonist is only known by the name he came up with for himself after arriving to ''LightNovel/InAnotherWorldWithMySmartphone'' world.

* SadClown: Playa. It's clear from early on that he keeps up an upbeat disposition to avoid falling in bad habits.

* ThemeMusicPowerUp: {{Invoked}}. Monika makes sure of playing the right song when Playa is in need of this trope.

* TheAtoner: Monika is wracked with guilt from driving insane and murdering all of her friends just to monopolize the Player's attention in her game. She deliberately tries hard not to be so psychopathically jealous anymore, but might be [[SupportingHarem going a bit too far]] about proving it.
