Summary
A life full of toil and struggle was what he knew, leading to his doom. However a deity of light offers a chance to turn back time and live a better life while also trying to stop elements that threaten the stability of reality, which one of his siblings, a being of dark, tried to do recently.
See how those goals with the knowledge of a familiar future and newly formed bonds (of which he is still apprehensive about) lead to a more illustrious future, diverting the dark uncertainties of the upcoming plot out on the way… -

Summary
Chiba Natsumi is quiet, reclusive and never involves herself in anything outside of her studies at Shūjin High School. In her mind, she's got a good reason for this, not that anyone else knows what this reason is.

By calling upon this power, Natsumi finds herself tangled up in a treacherous web of confusion, her monster isn't the only one with this twisted world of mind over matter.

Summary
Ren Amamiya thought his days as Joker were over. He was wrong.
The Cognitive Realm is far larger than the Metaverse ever revealed. Beneath Palaces and Shadows lies the Sea of Soul, the wellspring of all human cognition. And it's fracturing.
Distortions bleed into reality. Old enemies return. And Ren isn't the only one feeling the cracks spread.
Across Japan, Wild Cards from different eras are being drawn together, each carrying scars from battles they thought were finished. They don't know why. Not yet.
But the fractures follow a pattern. The distortions have a purpose. And the deeper they search, the more they realize: the Sea of Souls is breaking for a reason.
Uncovering that reason will test every bond, challenge every choice, and demand sacrifices no one is ready to make.
The Summit is coming. Will they rise? Or be lost to the Sea forever?

Summary
Ren Amamiya never meant for his forced year of Tokyo to get so crazy. His schedule used to consist of the basics – go to school, study, help around the house, all normal teenage things. Becoming the leader of a masked superhero group is an unexpected addition to that routine.
Now he’s got to deal with training his teammates, forming bonds to power himself up, and getting to the bottom of where all these new supervillains are coming from. Even with the help of his friends and the mysterious Velvet Room, it will take a true will of rebellion to win with the odds stacked so high against him.
Looks like it’s showtime.

Summary
Maybe things could have been different, he thinks.
If he hadn’t ended up on probation.
If he hadn’t helped that woman.
If he hadn’t been a burden on his parents.
If he hadn’t been born in the first place.
Maybe, but that’s not how things went.
Fate, he knows, is a whimsical thing.

Summary
Makoto Yuki was sick, he’d been sick for quite some time. It would be great if he was only suffering from a broken heart, but there was more to his illness than just heartbreak.
He was coughing up flowers and didn’t have any desire to save himself from the infamous hanahaki disease.

Summary
As one journey stalls at the very end, another begins in parallel.
Akira is here to help these alternate Thieves and save his own in the process. There are two problems with that though.
Problem one is that he has to do it without catching the eye of the second false god dwelling in the human unconscious.
Problem two is that things are different this time.Ren plans to beat Shido at his own game, even if she has to mold her gang of outcasts and rebels into a full-blown counter-conspiracy.
Shiho survives by pointing her self-destruction outwards and forges her rebellion in the process.
Akechi makes a deal with an insufferably powerful stranger and finds a kindred spirit in a teenage megalomaniac.
Yoshizawa dances on the puppeteer's strings, even as her true self roils within its cage.
And unknown to all, Azazoth lurks within a madman's dream and bides its time, waiting for a chance to save this mad and alien world.It’s up to the Trickster to help this maladjusted Mastermind and her slightly more troubled Thieves topple a conspiracy and outwit a false god.
It's a brutal and unjust game, but changing the world has never been for the faint of heart. -

Summary
For Ren Amamiya, life is a constant grind of five jobs just so he can afford college, leaving no time for rest or a social life.
For Goro Akechi, a young and talented choreographer, his new role is a much needed distraction from his current self destructive behaviour.
They're two complete strangers, until a single passionate night they both assume would be the end of their story. Never to meet again. But when Ren lands a role as a dancer in the hit new game Dancing in Starlight 5, it's the very game Goro is choreographing. Their one-night stand now turns into a professional partnership.
As they both act like they don't remember each other, the real chemistry between them grows.
They have to keep their personal and professional lives separate, but is what started in a club worth fighting for? -

Summary
Makoto Yuki had long held a highly revered role within his society, that of the next 'vessel of Nyx'. Kept in a blue room and raised to be nothing more than a sacrifice to appease an apathetic goddess. He didn't speak or complain about his situation, only accepted the inevitable. But on the day of the fated sacrifice, a black haired boy is standing at the end of the aisle, waiting for him.

Summary
Goro Akechi is seven when his life is shattered by the suicide of his mother. He is twelve when he is fished out of foster care by the man he has resented since then, his father: Masayoshi Shido. Forced to awaken to the power of personas by his abusive and power hungry father, Akechi's life takes a dark turn while under his custody. However, when a chance to escape presents itself, Goro manages to take it and not look back.
Fresh out of his psychic assassin, Masayoshi Shido will need a new one. Unfortunately, it is Akira Kurusu that crosses his path and is thrust into that role.
How will Shido's two pawns react to each other when thrown into conflict? How will a version of Goro Akechi, driven by his desire to prevent others from being exploited in the same way he was, as well as the trappings of a revenge plot against Masayoshi Shido, choose to show society the justice of the Phantom Thieves?
The pieces are in position and the board is set. So, now a question must needs be asked: shall we play a game?

Summary
Goro Akechi has a plan, and nothing is going to get in the way of that plan.
At least, that was his understanding, until he was hit in the face by a door by a girl with a smile like sunshine.
That's where plans tend to go awry.
Or: Post-XV and Pre-P5, Goro and Hibiki become friends--whether or not he's agreed to it is beside the point--and the world becomes a little more ridiculous as a result--but maybe ridiculousness is just what it needs.

Summary
Goro Akechi wasn’t supposed to live to see his nineteenth birthday, but fate and destiny (and Ren Amamiya) had other ideas. He's been given a second chance, thanks in no small part to the mysterious beings that call the Velvet Room home. Now Theodore and his siblings have a job for him, and Goro always repays his debts.
(A sequel to Bullet With Butterfly Wings, where I basically throw Royal and Strikers into a blender, along with a dash of P3.)
