1. 351 鬼 Demon Slayer: Is Nezuko Forced to Join the Enemy in Episode One? 鬼灭：祢豆子第一集就被迫投敌？ Pure Puppy Play清纯狗塑Anime Fanfiction155k WordsOngoing Warning: Nezuko joins the demon side, gradually loses her humanity, and becomes one of Muzan’s subordinates. What would happen if Muzan discovered Nezuko’s unusual constitution in the very first episode, turned her into a demon, and took her to the Infinity Castle? The story still unfolds mainly from Tanjiro’s point of view. It’s an if-story that combines elements of the original, with some major changes to the plot. I’ll do my best to give everyone a happy ending and keep the characters in char 6Reads—Score—14d adds

   I cried after watching the movie, and in a fit of rage, I wrote a 10,000-word outline and started writing. I'm recommending my own book (my first one), even if it's a niche title.

   No romantic pairing; the female lead is a descendant of a demon. Characters won't be out of character (OOC), the story is slice-of-life but not boring, and the logic of each chapter has been considered. Every time period is covered, and the protagonist will interact with most of the main characters from the original work (currently, this includes Tamayo, Yoriichi, Komaji, and Yukidoma).

The demon isn't a stranger, but his grandfather. Under his grandfather's guidance, he takes up a Nichirin Blade and joins the fight against demons. At first, afraid that the Demon Slayer Corps will discover his grandfather's presence, he avoids contact with them as much as possible. Later, —Reads—Score—14d adds

   I'd like to recommend one of my own stories. It's not a time-travel story; the protagonist is a native, there's no romantic pairing, the plot is slow-paced, and I wrote it myself.
