(There is no NSFW content in this story!) This is a psychological drama that LIGHTLY discusses things like addiction, depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. It also includes a lot of scenes that are atmospheric, introspective, emotional, dramatic, and/or intense/action-packed. It can also be classified as a slice of life, light romance, and action story. It's based on the story of Doki Doki Literature Club, but very quickly develops into its own unique story, with each chapter progressively getting more and more distinctive and soulful. (Note: You don't need to have seen Doki Doki Literature Club to understand this story, but it does give you just a little extra context) Please consider reading the Google Docs version for better formatting!

It's a lot, but it's worth it in my opinion. This is mainly inspired by DDLC, DDLC Side Stories, and Wangan Midnight, so if you enjoy any of those series then you might like this. --- --- --- PLOT SUMMARY: A high school student named Daiki gets introduced to a new group of friends by his childhood friend Sayori.

Call me IMAX the way I project onto these characters. Anyway, all the headcanons I write can be subject to change, and are just for fun. By the way, I own none of the characters in Twisted Wonderland, and the only character I own are my Yuusonas/OCs. That should be obvious, just wanted to cover bases.
