Localization isn't an inherent negative, DR just happened to suffer from incompetent localizers. One of the funnier examples is Imposter yelling "what's going on?" during the blackout (which is also a truth bullet, if I'm not mistaken) when the actual dialogue was "what are *you* doing?". Hajime's inner voice is done well, though Kamukura's on the boat is terrible. If anything, I'm shocked there's no mods to make text closer to the original.

Maybe you're better at finding fics than I...oftentimes it seems like the people latched onto a "quirky cinnamon roll"-type personality for him after DR3 released. Honestly, I feel the quality of ao3 fics plummeted post-DR3.

Yessir,
The Korekiyo fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11672964
The MatsuHina/Koma fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30289083
Even for the latter I feel Matsuda's a bit OOC (cannot be helped due to the nature of the fan translation, as mentioned previously). I've yet to find a single fic where I could really believe the author's portrayal of Hajime, Komaeda or Izuru. Though that's likely due to me interpreting them all as strictly "not the type of characters to be romantically involved without strings attached/an unhealthy relationship".
