Chapter 33 : A Vtuber Who Feels Unfair Because Of Politics

Title: Real-Time Update on Lee Jia’s Broadcast

Post Content:

Ayase came

Comments (42):

Is she going mainstream?

Is this an invite to Narak Show?

She did come right when they were talking about narak Show, so it kind of makes sense.

If Lee Jia goes on narak Show, it’s going to be a legendary guest lineup.

Of course.

There’s no guest as perfect for the show as Lee Jia.

Dopamine overload incoming.

Hmm… but isn’t she a controversial figure?

What controversy?

The cult controversy.

That’s not controversy, that’s just RP.

Yeah, most of it is just RP.

But if you look at how she acts, she really does seem like a full-on cult believer.

Sir… There is no such god as The Stars That Shine Upon Us, and no such religion…

Do you really think it’s real?

She just has GOAT-level RP skills.

After briefly switching the broadcast screen:

I checked the email Ayase sent me.

As expected, it was about an invitation to narak Show.

I wasn’t planning to accept, but…

Since Ayase came all the way to my stream personally to invite me, the polite thing to do would be to accept.

In the end, I agreed to Ayase’s invitation.

Then, raising my right hand, I made a vow to my viewers.

“I swear. From today onward, I will aim for a Yangji broadcast.”

Yangji (Cult believer)

Yangji (Self-harms out of nowhere)

Yangji (Has a divine power pool)

That last one tho

What does having a big divine power pool have to do with being Yangji?

narak Show is definitely an insane dopamine-rush kind of content.

But at the same time, both the guests and the MCs take a huge risk by being on it.

…Of course, Ayase will probably filter out anything that could cause actual controversy.

The problem is me, the VTuber myself.

“A VTuber with an extreme fanatic roleplay concept.”

That’s how people see me.

From my perspective, I’m just stating the truth as it is, not acting out some character.

But from the audience’s point of view… of course, they have no choice but to see it as an RP.

If you put a fanatic VTuber on narak Show, even I can tell it’s going to be an absolute dopamine bomb with top-tier entertainment value.

But… it’s dark side content.

The whole concept of a cult religion goes beyond just the dark side—it’s straight-up the abyss.

For That Reason

To avoid causing trouble for Ayase, Starting today, I need to aim for a Yangji (mainstream) broadcast.

And what does a Yangji broadcast entail?

Instead of dark content like cult confessions, I should just play normal games.

Unfortunately, my gaming skills are so bad that watching me play is actual suffering.

I offer my condolences in advance to the many viewers whose eyes will rot in real-time.

First, I need to decide what game to play…

As I was browsing the game recommendation board on the forum, a donation suddenly came in.

Charararararak!

The sound of coins pouring in—a sound I had never heard since I started streaming.

I already knew what it meant.

[User “AnBitCheeNunMotByul” has donated 1,000,000 KRW.]

“Jia-nim, I always support you.”

That’s right.

A one-million-won donation.

“Ohhh my god, Haejang-nim just gave a million-won offering!”

Kyaaa!

A VTuber suspiciously obsessed with money.

Bruh, this reaction is straight-up boomer-tier.

What kind of reaction is this?

This is what passes for a VTuber…?

…Oops.

I might’ve messed up a little.

VTuber donation reactions are different from those of facecam streamers.

Not every VTuber does the same thing, but generally, their reactions involve spewing out cringe yet entertaining lines.

Obviously, I’m not the type who can pull off a cutesy, high-pitched reaction.

Of course, I’m beyond grateful for a million-won donation—so grateful I should probably bow my head to the floor…

Wait.

Bowing my head?

…That’s actually a great idea.

“I shall bow my head, Haejang-nim!”

You insane bastard.

Is this really a VTuber?

Where’s the cute, high-energy reaction!!!

No singing?

No dancing?

Hmm, this streamer’s reactions are kinda stingy ngl.

“Uh, well… I haven’t really developed my reaction repertoire yet…”

[User “AnBitCheeNunMotByul” has donated 100,000 KRW.]

“Forget the reaction, if you have nothing to do, how about some LoL or ranked placements?”

“Oh, absolutely. We’re doing it, no question! 100,000-won offering—thank you! Your donation will be used in the name of AnBitCheeNunMotByul to—”

…Wait, didn’t I say I was aiming for a Yangji broadcast?

“—I mean, never mind. I’ll just use it to buy some fried chicken. Thanks, Haejang-nim!”

Lord of the Night, aka “Rodena”

A 5v5 AOS game, Commonly played in streamer tournaments and collabs.

Obviously, I would rather watch Ayase play Rodena than play it myself.

I have never actually played it. Not even once.

The viewers were not happy.

What?

Haejang-nim, please…

Wait, are you a “Rodena Virgin” (RoJinNam)?

Just don’t play it, please…

With your awful gaming skills, if you play Rodena… you’re gonna get mass-reported for trolling.

Wow.

They’re throwing cold water on me before I even start.

“I’m actually good at Rodena.”

Oh?

Wait, you’ve played it before?

“Nope. I don’t even have an account, so I have to make one now.”

Then what do you mean you’re “good” at it, you dumb fuck?

Are you kidding me?

Aaaahhh.

This is gonna be controversial…

“I’ve watched a lot.”

And I wasn’t joking.

I have watched a lot.

I’ve seen Ayase’s Platinum runs.

I’ve watched Rodena streamer tournaments.

I’ve followed the Rodena VTuber Cup.

I’ve even watched official and world championship matches.

So yeah.

I understand the game mechanics perfectly well.

“I’ll pick a Log Carrier. I’m going mid.”

??????????????????

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GO SUPPORT. PLEASE, JUST GO SUPPORT.

No way.

Do you think you can just play mid??

Just quit, please.

Is this guy only going mid because Ayase plays mid?

No way…

right?

Oh.

Yeah, that’s exactly why.

Ayase plays mid, so I’m playing mid.

Simple as that.

The VTuber I’ve watched the most plays mid, So I know the mid position really well.

I don’t plan on making Rodena a mainstream part of my content, But I do need to start testing different games.

That way, I can participate in collabs, Maybe even streamer tournaments.

So taking placement matches doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

The download finished.

Now, the nickname creation screen popped up.

I paused for a moment to think.

Here it comes… The legendary naming sense of “Gamda Sal” Lee Jia?

A big one is coming… A huge one…!!!

This is gonna be good, right?

Does Gamda Sal look like someone who’d pick a basic name?

Oh.

Um.

Why does this feel so stressful?

Alright.

“Follower of BitCheeNunMotByul.”

That should work.

[This nickname is already taken.]

…Someone already took it?

Who the hell is out here disgracing BitCheeNunMotByul’s name with their Bronze-tier gameplay?

“BitCheeNunMotByul.”

[This nickname is already taken.]

Yeah, figured.

Of course, that one was taken.

“Omnia Archive.”

[This nickname is already taken.]

Nope.

“BitChiNunMotByul.”

[Invalid nickname.]

…Okay, that one’s just banned by the system.

So what name is actually available??

Static noise… chhhhhkk… chhhzzzzzt…

Everything is burning…

When’s the big one?

When’s the big one? When’s the BIG ONE???

“Lee Jia (VTuber).”

[Nickname created.]

Oh.

That… worked?

Lee Jia (VTuber).

Nice and clean.

Gamda Sal confirmed?

That is the most boring nickname ever.

If you don’t like my naming sense, you guys should suggest something instead.

Besides, Rodena is full of toxic players running rampant, so having a real-name-style nickname is actually a smart move.

If I use a real-sounding name, People will think twice before flaming me.

(Of course, no one actually knows if “Lee Jia” is my real name or not.)

But still.

Since it looks like a normal Korean name, Maybe I’ll get less flamed out?

“Alright, jumping straight into rank. In the name of BitCheeNunMotByul, judgment shall be delivered!”

I projected confidence.

No matter how bad my actual gameplay is, I’ve watched way too much of this game to be that clueless.

“I Theorized Too Well.”

Yeah.

Turns out I was just all theory and no skill.

I thought that using a real-name-style nickname Would make people less likely to flame me?

That was a massive mistake.

[Team Chat]

Mangwon-dong Knife Master:

“Lee Jia, you fucking troll, I wanna kill this bitchh so bad.”

Champion Specialist:

“Lee Jia, you fing bh, clear the lane, you dumb fuck.”

Top First Pick, Instant Loss:

“No way… CS difference of 100? Lee Jia, is this intentional feeding?”

Support Main Only:

“Surrender. Playing with this trash is a waste of time.”

I unlocked the hidden achievement:

“Getting cussed out in my very first match.”

Team chat is wild.

Bro is SEETHING.

But like… he has a point.

At this point, it kinda looks like intentional feeding ngl.

The final result of my first game?

0 kills, 15 deaths.

It was a catastrophic mid-gap.

I was basically respawning only to die again within 30 seconds.

But hold up.

Kills and deaths aren’t everything in this game, right?

I mean, I did contribute:

[Lee Jia (VTuber)]:

“I feel like I did my job, so what’s the problem?”

“I died while zoning enemies, so that’s valid.”

“I died hitting the tower for team gold, so that’s valid.”

“I accidentally misclicked during aggro-ping-pong and died, but in the name of BitCheeNunMotByul, that’s valid too.”

“I did everything I could.”

Surely, I was being politically targeted here.

The moment I typed in chat, all four teammates stopped moving.

Then, suddenly:

[Mangwon-dong Knife Master]

[Top First Pick, Instant Loss]

[Mysterious One-Trick Player]

[Support Main Only]:

A carpet bombing of censored messages flooded the chat.

Oh wow.

Guess I don’t have to worry about dying young anymore.

Thanks, guys.
