So who's your Favorite Character/Wafiu?

[The Unknown Writer (Busy)]

Note:
- I don't have a favorite. Not even a single one, and I'm not bothered by it, but I like them in a way

- I don't mind if you favor one over the other because of random reasons

When you start Act 2 and Sayori appears to be made of pieces of the other Dokis, did you speculate on what that may have meant?

Never had a "Waifu" and thought the idea was silly... Until I played DDLC. Monika is such an interesting character with so much theory crafting behind her that my mind wandered way to often to "what if" territory for me not to have developed an attachment.

- I didn't not create this discussion for this reason, but since you asked: So when she "appears to be made of pieces of the other Dokis", it would mean that a part of the game is corrupted, along with anything relating to Sayori herself.

Natsuki.

[Lynfinity]

Obviously Fire Keeper, there's no competition.

Just Monika

My personal favorite character is Natuski the cute tsundere loli with a moe fang. she may feel annoying at times to you guys but tsunderes always do that to hide their true feelings for the person that they have interest in. Natsuki even if she may not like it, she is cute as hell and short pink hair adds to that. She is a weeb like many of us out there (I mean seriously guys you literally played an anime game with a dark twist you cant say you're not a weeb). she shows a lot of interest in manga and anime and always talks in depth about things like the background and overused jokes in the series and she seems really happy when she does it and that makes me feel like somebody i can actually relate to and because of her character and her interest she has and the way she talks about it really makes her feel like someone i can relate too and i myself am glad that i was able to find this game and glad i met such a loving cast of characters and scenarios (not a lot of them are loving but they are executed very well). She can bake and maybe cook i don't know but she has a unique mind set when it comes to the writing realm. And if you don't like Natuski you do you everyone thinks differently and i gladly respect your opinion whether it is rude or not an opinion is an opinion and all should be respected. Anyways if you read this thanks for reading this have a nice day.

Well, my favorite character is Monika, I really feel like anyone saying differently just didn't get the game or something. This isn't like Lord of the rings, or Final Fantasy, or hell, even Katawa Shoujo, where part of the point is that you accept that these are real characters.

Monika is canonically the ONLY girl in DDLC, so by definition she's the best. The others don't have have personalities to judge them on, they're empty like flat drawings on a piece of paper.

Monika is the only real one, she's the only one without mental issues, she's the most socially capable one, she's the smartest one, she is nice to her friends, self sacricifial when she needs to be, has the saddest backstory of any game character ever, has great advice, thinks logically and actually has non-traditional insights.
She plays the piano, keeps in shape, tries to minimize her impact on the planet.

If honestly think people with a different best girl either don't understand the game or have severe mental and emotional issues.

That is incorrect. Monika is not canonically the only girl in DDLC. She's canonically the only one who is self aware, but she's just as fake, and just as scripted, and just as much of a fictional character as all of the other characters. She's just the only one who knows that her world is a game, which is implied to be due to the fact that she's the club president, as Sayori also comes to that realization when you delete Monika.

The other characters do have personalities, they're just scripted, because, y'know, they're visual novel characters too, but Monika is also a visual novel character.

I also wouldn't go as far as saying that she has "the saddest backstory of any game character ever". She definitely has suffered a lot as the result of her epiphany about the world being a game, but there are other characters who have lost friends or family before their games began. I'd argue that those characters have sadder backstories than Monika. I'd also argue that the ending of Monika's story is sadder than the beginning, as she realizes that happiness can't be found in the literature club, and ends up deleting files that are required to make the game run, ultimately ending the world.

It's fine if Monika is your favorite character, but don't go claiming that people who prefer the others "don't understand the game", when you are making claims about the game that are blatantly incorrect, implying that you misunderstood the game.

Did they realize their friends and family weren't real and their life was a lie?

As far as her personality is concerned I'm having trouble finding what trope she's supposed to represent. The other characters are generic tropes you can find in any other visual novel while Monika seems to represent an every-day person rather than being designed to fill a very specific role. She isn't the yandere, the tsundere, the girl next door, the loli, the one with tig ol' bitties, the comic relief, ect. She doesn't seem fit these roles any more than any other real person because he character is too variable, not limited like the others.

I wasn't talking about other DDLC characters when I mentioned the backstories. I was talking about characters from other games. Monika definitely has the saddest backstory out of all of the DDLC characters, but not out of every video game character that exists.

As far as her personality goes, she doesn't represent any tropes, and while the other characters do represent some tropes, they're not exactly generic. "tsundere" isn't all there is to Natsuki's personality, for example. It's just a part of it

It's definitely true that Monika is the most unique character, personality-wise. I won't argue against that. But she is still a character in a visual novel game, she is just as scripted as the other characters, and she is still not real. She's just the only self-aware character, but there's a difference between a self-aware character, and a real person.

So was I.

For whatever loss they suffered I can't imagine it being anywhere near as impactful as learning the people they loved weren't even real. That the only reasons they cared for these people was a lie. Despite knowing this Monika still cares for these lines of code, even if she knows they are nothing but numbers shaped to look like people and despite knowing her life was a lie this still very much shaped her into who she is today.

Yes, she's as much of a script as the other characters. The same as [insert hero from another story] is as fictional as any other characters. The same as you and I based on the life we've lived. Everythings scripted, everythings destiny, our past defines who we are and our future is on a specific track whether we want to accept it or not.

Ah. I must've misunderstood that then.

I guess you have a point as far as Monika's backstory goes.

As for that other part though, I don't exactly believe in destiny. Plus, that really has nothing to do with what I said. I was just pointing out that Monika isn't any more or less real than the other characters in DDLC.
