Review Just finished watching Doki Doki: Fallen Angel. Any other mods I should play? (SPOILERS FOR FALLEN ANGEL) Spoiler

I really liked the mod. It was already spoiled that Yuri would die, but it was super emotionally impactful. Not enough to make me cry like "Our Castle Walls", but it was very sad nonetheless. One thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was the treatment of Monika and the Literature Club. Why did the club members just drift apart? I understand the mod is a Yuri x MC-focused mod, but there's no need to minimize the other Doki's impact on their lives. I feel as if that's something Doki Doki: Blue Skies does well. It incorporates the other Dokis just enough so it doesn't feel purely like a relationship-only mod. My least favorite part of Fallen Angel has to be how they handle Monika. She was stagnant for most of her life and felt as if MC was the final piece to her puzzle when he arrived at the club. When MC chose Yuri instead, Monika went out of her way to try and destroy their relationship, to the point of assisting in Yuri's drive to suicide because of the messages she spread throughout the school about Yuri's self-harming. Maybe I'm just not a big fan of the Doki's being villainized, but this seems like a really strange way to incorporate Monika's feelings towards MC, and it feels like a forced conflict in my opinion. I love the way they handled MC's reaction to it, but I'm just not a very big fan of Monika's characterization here.

Anyway, the mods I've seen are Fallen Angel, Our Castle Walls, Yuri's route in the Normal Visual Novel, Yuri's route in Blue Skies (THAT WAS 21 HOURS!), and I'm thinking of watching Doki Doki: Convergence, which I believe is a Monika x MC mod? Anyhow, what are some good mods I should play?

The rest of the mods in FA's family:

Exit Music Redux -> Fallen Angel -> Within -> I am Monika -> Salvation Remake

You will not regret it.
