Everything is supposed to end at one point. One's story can be either a good, happy life or a tragic and lonely one. It all depends where and when you stop watching it. When you watched it all, you realise that what you thought at first is wrong, because you didn't have all the pieces to see the whole clear image. And that's why somes wish they could turn back time, riding onward the road of glory and ruins, foolishly hoping to right their wrongs.
And one of them is this dumbass delinquant Akira Kurusu. -

“It’s called Just Die. It reduces the SP needed for Insta kill skills like Mudoon or 'Please Die for Me' to zero.”
Ryuji and Ann blinked and blinked again trying to figure out what Morgana is trying to say. He watched as the gears churn in their head and they come to an epiphany, their faces growing horrified at the implications.
“Wait, you are saying. Joker can insta-kill literally everything in this palace. WITHOUT using SP at all?!” Ryuji clarified in astonishment because there is no way there isn’t a catch to this. “Without repercussion?!”
“Yes. That is exactly what I’m saying.”

He closed his eyes against the light. Dying, he thought, would’ve been so much easier.

Bookmarker's Notes
NEW GAME PLUS — Akira goes through the game once more. But isn’t very good at dealing with the time travel aspect. He has his friends all suspicious of him. But hey, at least he gets Akechi right. 😂
THOUGHTS — An All Time Favorite! Ahhh this awesome! I’m glad I was able to catch it! It’s kind of like a mix of P5 and P5R. Like, no Maruki or Kasumi, but lots of bonding with Akechi! That’s not the important part tho. This is the kind of time travel where not much changes big-picture wise (at least until later in the game). But that’s fine because it’s mostly character-driven. That is, while the plot is fun and all. It’s really the characters that make this shine. The author has taken a very unique perspective to this whole thing. Akira is still Max STATS and everything. But he’s just very bad at hiding the fact that he’s a time travel. And his friends are suspicious of him because of it.
That’s the whole driving conflict of the story. Not whether or not they get a happy ending. But what the characters will do after certain things come to light, etc.etc! It’s my favorite kind of fic! And what’s more. It’s written very well! The pacing is well done too. It glosses over things that we know and only spends time on the things that changed and are of interest. The author’s prose is also very engaging. It’s easy to read and the language flows well. Oh! And you can’t forget the drawings! They add such a unique touch to the whole fic. I honestly don’t know how they’re able to draw and write so well but they do!
Definitely recommended! Would read it again myself soon too!
1ST REREAD THOUGHTS — Same thoughts as before really. I enjoyed the fic a lot! It’s unique take on NG+ is very interesting, as it explores Akira’s mental health in quite a bit of depth. Gets quite angsty in the end tho! Watch out for the feels!

Can't believe I read this for three years!! Need to go back and comment, but: this is an absolutely fabulous story about New Game+ like you've never imagined. There are so many twists and turns that by the end you don't even recognize the hot dirt road you (and Noctis) started on (again). Bonus for being gen. A sad ending is coming, but at least the author warned me about it first.
I'm already invested in Part 2??? How can this be???

Summary
Akechi’s smiling, and the barrel of the gun shines brightly as it presses against Akira’s temple. The metal’s cold, strangely impersonal, considering Akechi’s standing so close to Akira. Akira can feel the heat of the detective, the traitor, feeling the tremble of his hand as the gun digs a little deeper into his forehead.
Akechi smiles.
Akira can only think, for that brief moment, about how sad that fake smile is.
A bang.
Loud, it rings Akira’s ears, stings the skin of his face with burning embers.
The world goes to a peaceful, blissful, black.

Bookmarker's Notes
TIME TRAVEL — NG+ Akechi edition. Akechi is given another chance at life and is taken back to the start of it all (April 9th) with all his memories in tact. None of the other PTs remember. Or so it seems anyway. But even with Akechi alone, lots of things are changing already. He’s formed a bond with Ren, Boss, Futaba, and now, in the latest chapter is tackling a palace with them,
THOUGHTS — Read it up to Ch. 10, the most recent chapter. I’m not sure if it will be updating any time soon, but it seems the author was passionate about the story, and even noted that it was getting to the exciting part, so here’s to hoping.
The story is very intriguing. I really like NewGame+ dynamics. And this one is so Crow-centric that it’s very intriguing. Honestly, I have no idea what is going to happen. The new Oracle/Crow friendship, Joker’s mysteriousness, or even this abrupt LEFT from canon (SPOILERS I mean them going into Shido’s castle like very very early in game.) I like the fact that the author decided to play with the story so drastically like this. I think a lot of NewGame+ fics I’ve read thus far have pretty much chosen the complete opposite. Which is good in its own way, but also lacking the kind of intrigue and mystery that this one offers.
All in all, I highly recommend this to anyone even remotely interested in Akechi as a character. If you’re not a fan of unfinished works, I’d go as far as to recommend bookmarking it to read in the future. The stories only real downside so far, after all, is that it’s not really past it’s infancy yet. I’m assuming??? We’re just starting to get to the thick of things, so it does kill the mood a bit to not be sure whether it will be updated or not.
Either way though, I think the story is more than worth that risk.
1ST REREAD THOUGHTS — Still as enjoyable as last time! The writing is quite nice too. Some parts were a bit harder to read than I remember, but that’s probably thanks to my short attention span (there were certain sections with just one long paragraph after another and I’m just allergic of those in general LMFAO.) Still a very interesting take on the usual NG trope tho. I mean this is entirely in Akechi’s POV, and it’s Akechi that remembers so! Yes! Very fun.
It hasn’t been updated in a year. But the author seems to be active still, so here’s to hoping it’ll come back. Kind of sucks that it leaves off just when things were starting to get exciting, but 🤷🏻♀️ I’ll be keeping an eye on it nonetheless.

Summary
June, 20XX.
Each passing day brings new challenges, and each passing day brings his plan closer to fruition.
So, who cares if he keeps remembering things that never happened? So what if there are eight Phantom Thieves, rather than the three he expected? And so what if their leader has proven surprisingly adept at avoiding him?
None of it matters. A new game is starting, and Akechi Goro is going to win it.

Bookmarker's Notes
TIME TRACEL — A role reversal of new game plus. With fool trickster Akechi the owner of the Velvet Room. Joker is still a wildcard of course, but there are many things different on this canon divergent fic. It’s very Akechi-centric, so it focuses more on Akechi building his bonds (since Time Travel means Joker already had his bonds MAXED), and can be taken as a pretty good fix-it, with lots of angst included of course.
There are some parts of the story that confused me. I think mostly the parts referencing the end of the story or Akechi’s past (I never finished P5 so I’d say that’s a given.) But it was still an enjoyable read despite that. I like the twist the author used — merging two of the most popular tropes in this fandom (new game plus and role reversal), and its definitely one to remember.
I don’t believe it’s all that dark either. Kind of dramatic and angsty of course. But I cant recall anything too triggering. Aside from moments of suicidal ideation and the link (in both the main character’s POVs.) because of that, I think it’s More than okay for most people and thus something I would definitely recommend you give a try.
1ST REREAD THOUGHTS — I enjoyed it a lot more now that I’ve finished the game at least twice!! LMFAO. As expected, not having seen the ending made it impossible to understand the last time! But now, i can see why some of the latter choices are so satisfying! I’m glad I reread it.

Bookmarker's Notes
TIME TRAVEL — Akira, from 3 years in the future. Is sent back to the past. And the first person he runs into, not a day after he arrives in Tokyo for the ‘first’ time, is Akechi! Everything goes wrong from the moment he arrives. He doesn’t have the app, he can’t call up a persona, and the whole timeline goes wonky because he fails at doing what he did in the past (which means that some things stay the same and other things don’t.)
THOUGHTS — My second p5 fic! An interesting shift to the new game plus mechanics. I don’t want to spoil things too much, even if it’s just for the next time I re-read it. But this is not what I expected at all — in a very good way.
The writing is superb, the characters full of life (like they feel like real people, rather than just actors of a play, if that makes any sense. And although some may say the pacing is slow, I wouldn’t? Lmfao, it’s a very slow moving story, but it works out perfectly that way. Very character focused as well. I like how the author seems to be very familiar with the canon dynamics and yet chose to shift things from what is normally expected of new game plus fics.
Overall a favorite for sure. It’s unfinished. Currently at ch.19? I believe it was. I’ll have to re-read it again soon. I’m curious about what will happen next.
ME IN THE FUTURE MAKE SURE TO READ WHEN IT UPDATES OR FINISHES
1ST REREAD THOUGHTS — Ahhhh this was one of the first fics I read, and even back then, when I knew absolute nothing of the PAIN that these two will suffer, this was a banger for me. I love it even more now that I DO know. It’s very in-character. I still stand by what I said about the characters being alive too, and everything else complimentary that I said LMAO 😂 I think I’ve said enough already. But just in case. My fav. Fact about this fic is that it is very character driven. You still get a unique and fun new twist to the plot. But, for the most part, most of the action, most of what really makes this story riveting, is the character development that all the characters undergo.
Honestly, it’s an amazing read. Lots of things are still left up in the air at the moment, but in glad I went back to reread this much more slowly. It shouldn’t be read any other way than that. It’s very subtle in its prose and yet also very honest? Idk what I mean. It’s just VERY VERY GOOD.
And yes! I will definitely read it again, unfinished it or not!
