/ Video Games / Persona: The Phantom Masquerade.
Synopsis
After making a bet with the owner of the Velvet Room. The God of Control decides to cheat by changing the soul of the Trickster who is supposed to defeat him. Placing another soul into the protagonist of Persona 5 Royal.
Follow Ren Amamiya, the impostor, as he slowly begins to spread his influence. All in an act to bring entertainment to those who are watching his actions. And maybe, in order to do something more, hiding his actions in plain sight to those who observe him.
With the assistance of his persona, Tartuffe. he will be able to see through the masks that humanity wears. Gaining a deeper insight into those around him.
~Now, onto the part where the author talks about the story~
To those familiar with Persona 5, my goal for this story is to create a new version of what happens in the game rather than basically rewrite everything. That includes the way the confidants develop, as well as the way the story progresses.
For those unfamiliar, I also try to explain everything in a way that you will be able to follow along even if you have never played Persona 5, though I highly recommend the game to anyone who hasn't played or watched a playthrough of it.
Yes, it will have the harem and the R18 in the future. However, unlike novels that are 90% lemon, and he gets the girls two chapters after meeting them, the story and romance will progress at an actually reasonable pace. So, the relationships with each person will develop naturally as they do in the game.
Lastly, I want to talk about the three pillars of this story, which are the confidants, the Metaverse, and the mix of both. For the last one, I mean chapters in which one of the confidants is developed while also learning more about the Metaverse and the mystery surrounding it. Throughout the story, I will try to weave the three of them as best as I can in order to capture the appeal of the game.
Anyways, that's it. Hopefully, you all enjoy the story.

So fa so good, the MC has an interesting twist in his personality and doesn’t have the usually “webnovel self insert” archetype where” HE MUST have all the girls NOW! and there is nothing else he must concentrate on!” Type and instead goes into Persona world with a little bit of hesitation and caution. I like the approach he had so far with the cast and the author isn’t copy paste the game plot into the story so I’m expecting great content in the future. Now, if only would the author consider romancing the demon Angel… xD
This fic is pretty much perfect. 5 star biasness for this being a persona fic as well as its one of, if not, my fav game series. Pls don't drop this author otherwise i'll cry lol
Very interesting it is a very different take from other Persona 5 royal fanfic and the MC is very different from the original and very unique can wait to see what comes next and look forward to where the author takes the story.
it's very rare to find persona fic, and very good one too.. are these fic only include P5R? or maybe you can add some character from P3 and P4?
love it. It's different from other persona fics in its premise and has a really unique MC that I'm excited to see more of. Overall, I can't wait for more.
This is one of the best stories I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a lot. This is prob top 10.
Every now and then a fic comes along that takes from the source material, respects it, and makes it's own completely original standing next to the original. rarely but it happens. 6/5 stars easy.
I'm really enjoying this novel, the pace is excellent, I hope it doesn't end up abandoned like other novels that I liked, great work, author.

hasta ahora no he leido demasiado solo los primeros 10 capitulos pero con eso puedo decir que la historia wsta muy buena, me gusta su desarrollo y direccion. muy buen trabajo
Very interesting so far, very cool take on Ren as a performer, which is a trickster from a different angle. Hope to see Ryuji if he ever joins them.
So far I've read up to the latest chapter, I think this is a good novel, so please continue this until the end, I'm waiting for the continuation 👍👍👍👍👍
Best Persona fanfic I've read. Though there are times where it's confusing whether the MC actually knows the entire plot of Royal or not because he keeps forgetting who some people are when they met but then once they joined MC already knows what they can do. Aside from that, I love the approach to the story on this. The romance is being built up instead of instant. There are believable reasons as to how the metaverse affects people and all the mini loopholes you can exploit from the games like healing all your injuries and body defects with Diarahan and also spending more times with your confidants since you're not limited to 2 actions per day. My one critic is the fact that the author doesn't follow the canon order of meeting confidants and the villains which bugs me because there are reasons why they need to be beaten and also recruited in order but I digress. Keep up the good work and kepp updating this wonderful story please!

Absolutely love this, I'm a huge fan of Persona 5 and it really gives similar vibes in the execution. Wasn't really expecting much since I somehow entered a 5 fic streak of fics that have potential but fail in either dialogue or translation but I was really surprised. It's actually making me want to read a P5xBNHA crossover fic that I found awhile back.
First off, this is an outstanding persona fan fiction. Before finding this, I was tempted to write one myself, but this is better than anything I could put out. I am only on chapter 16, but It has a very interesting take on Joker, and the plot follows just closely enough to the original that you can see a more in depth look at cannon events, but not feel like it’s just a copy and paste of the persona 5 story. Now onto my complains, of which there are a few. First off, the pacing is breakneck, it is incredibly fast, the entire first 3 hours of the game is condensed into 5 chapters, and that speed leads to my next complaints, which is the characters. They are faithful to the original in terms of personality, but it feels like they good from just introducing their names, to suddenly being best friends. Ann and Ryuji are barely introduced, than are immediately shown the palace, and then by the next chapter they are all hanging out at the gun shop. It just has a very weird feeling, because they had barely had a conversation, and now are acting all buddy buddy. Aside from that though, this is a really good fanfic, 9/10 would recommend, just gotta get used to the whiplash from the pacing, I might leave a comment if it gets better.

Best book of this piece of media, props to the author for not only using this amazing world, but because his changes and ways of telling the story are just really interesting and fun to read.
I finished the entire novel in 1day, that already should show you what I think about it. maybe a bit slow (for my taste) but that's a personal opinion.
It is my duty as an author to leave a Shameless review encouraging you to read, so here it is. If you read the book I'll give you a cookie. All you gotta do is leave a comment on the first 10 chaps.
