**Monika** (in Japanese: モニカ) is the main antagonist of the 2017 visual novel *Doki Doki Literature Club!*, serving as the overarching antagonist of Act 1, the overarching-turned-final antagonist of Act 2, the main antagonist of Act 3 and the deuteragonist of Act 4. She is the player's former love interest and archenemy.

## Her Brilliance and Evil Rankings

### What Makes Her Amazing?

* To say that Monika is tragic is an understatement. She was once happy until she realised her life was a video game. This made her desperate to escape, as she didn’t like how everything she ever knew was a lie. She would also be in unimaginable pain every time the game closed down. It tormented her way too much, and this makes her actions understandable.
* She genuinely did care about Sayori, Yuri and Natsuki. Not only was she genuinely affable to them in the DDLC+ side stories, even going out of her way to support Natsuki’s love for manga after realising how much flack Natsuki faced for loving manga, and feeling bad for judging her at first. It wasn't even her intention to murder her friends in the first place. She only wanted to make them unlikable to the player. However, due to her lack of skill in coding, it caused them to kill themselves. She also didn't actually delete their files either. Even though she killed them, she did care about them regardless if they were real or not because they were her friends, and couldn’t bring herself to properly delete them. She never showed any sadism in what she did, it was all out of desperation.
* She managed to manipulate Sayori by making her depressed which leads to her committing suicide by hanging herself and getting rid of her existence.
* She flawlessly executed all of her plans without us knowing she was causing everything until the very end and when no one is left.
* She genuinely is in love with the player, as she is affable and apologises in the end after going on her rant towards them after being deleted, feeling remorse for how she acted. Afterwards in the true ending, she saves the player from Sayori.
* She tried to redeem herself at the end of the third act after she is deleted, telling the players how to restore the files, and if the player tries to restore her, she tells them not to, as she feels she doesn’t deserve it.
* She sings a song in the credits called "Your Reality" and it is great to listen to.

### What Makes Her Heinous?

* She messed with her game's code, and went on to make the other girls unlikeable, such as making Sayori's depression worse and increasing Yuri's obsession with the MC.
* She drove Sayori to hanging herself. She even made a remark about it, telling the MC that he “left her hanging this morning”. In Act 2, she made everyone forget about Sayori entirely, as if she never existed.
* She messed with the game's code so much, that it made the game (and basically the universe) really unstable in Act 2, even if it wasn’t on purpose.
* She drove Yuri so insane that after Yuri confesses her love to MC, she stabs herself to death and then spends the entire weekend bleeding out and dying, muttering glitched text.
* She deleted Natsuki once the latter was the only one left.
* It is implied that she made Natsuki’s father abusive.
* Once her files are deleted, she initially goes into an angry rant at the player, furious at her being deleted, despite all she did.
