* Recommended by: chamo
* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: "A new student enters school with the girls. MC is nowhere to be seen, will he be the new fifth member of the club? Monika seems to know more that what she's letting on, are we ready for Another Chance at the literature club?"
* Comments: After tracing almost the same steps as the original, this story brings an all-encompassing take on the Dokis where each one gets their day in the spotlight(especially Monika), telling an original tale while still being faithful to the source material.~chamo

** One of the best parts is the RationalFic treatment the author gives to the entire ''LightNovel/InAnotherWorldWithMySmartphone'' cast and worlbuilding. To name a few, it took some time for twin sisters Linze and Elze to actually trust someone as eccentric as Playa until they realized that he's more of OneOfTheKids than actually dangerous except when circumstances take a turn for the serious. The King and Duke of Belfast are warily welcome of him and his "spirit companion" because their power and early 21st century understanding of politics, military, and economics makes them all-too-capable of improving or destroying a kingdom like theirs. Princess Yumina doesn't fall in LoveAtFirstSight with him, [[spoiler:yet she still wants to get married to him because her [[TheEmpath empathic]] [[MagicalEye powers]] tell her he's uniquely unlikely to use her for political power or wealth, nor he'll feel threatened if she eclipses him by [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething actually ruling Belfast]] despite the kingdom's HeirClubForMen laws and culture.]]

* Comments: The longest completed DDLC fanfiction made, clocking in with 850k words. Despite the length, quality of work is very, very high. Has three distinctive routes, each with their own themes and explores each character's personality and thoughts. Author focuses on inner thoughts and interactions, at times where themes start to get dark. Separated into three arcs, Common route, the three routes, and three after stories/epilogue. Strong and interesting world building, along with small creative liberties on some character's backgrounds in an effort to fill in missing info; all found in the first part. Heavy emphasis on morals, mental health, and overall character development in second part. Has explicit sexual themes and further worldbuilding at the third part of the story. Highly recommended to read for a vanilla like experience found in game. Beware of dark themes such as suicidal thoughts, mental instability and strong violence.

* Comments: Although it's often [[{{Narm}} extremely ham-fisted]] [[TastesLikeDiabetes during the romance scenes]], the comic maintains the girls' characterization very close to their original portrayals in the game, and deals with subjects like depression, love, and the emotional impact on abuse victims very seriously and realistically, offering useful advice on what to do. Monika and Sayori are arguably the main characters of the comic as it deals significantly with their personal issues, UnresolvedSexualTension, and they're often the ones offering advice to Yuri and Natsuki. However, the latter two are still important characters in the comic and are most definitely not shafted aside for the former two's sakes.

* Crossover with: [[Franchise/TheDCU The DC Universe]]
* Pairings: Jon Kent/Sayori, Damian Wayne/Natsuki, One-sided Yuri/Damien.
* Synopsis: Following a special arrangement made by their fathers, Jon Kent and Damian Wayne are now attending Gotham High, together. They soon find themselves joining a Club all about Literature, meeting four unique girls in the process. What could go wrong?
* Comments: An entertaining story that takes the premise of ''Doki Doki Literature Club'' and sets in [[FantasyKitchenSink the DC Universe]] with Monika as a metahuman and Jon and Damien bringing their unique friendship to the Literature Club's interactions. Great characterization all around with some fun twists on the characters. Especially Monika who goes from pitiable to despicable to tragic over the course of the story. Well worth a read.

Updated description to both Holding On and Letting Go to fit current rendition of it.


* Synopsis: Valkyrie has a normal life until his friend gets into an accident that leaves him comatose. Recent advances in medicine reveal that to break a coma is to resolve their most repressed memories. It sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, Val has never played the welcoming Doki Doki Literature Club, so he has no idea what he's got himself into.

* Recommended by: MANGOM1LK
* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: "Monika is back in the literature club after having been deleted, but the world she finds herself in is not the game nor reality, but some surreal mixture of the two. Monika will have to prove she's willing to face her own flaws as well as her clubmates' for a chance at a happy ending. After all, a poem never is never actually finished, it just stops moving."
* Comments: This is an incredibly compelling premise just for how it forces the characters to interact. Monika and her inner conflict about reacting to her surroundings is the main focus, at least for the start. She ends up having to justify to herself her own coldness, and there are some dramatic moments. Very good read, glad folks are still giving it their all for DDLC so many years after the fact.
