Chapter 44 : The God of RP, Lee Ji-ah

[Domestic VTuber Gallery]

Title: [Analysis, Long Post Warning] Ijia <- There’s a reason she’s called the God of RP

Post Content:

Ijia’s RP – Fanatic, lunatic, cult leader, crazy bitch.

Normally, this kind of hardcore RP is just a one-time thing that gets used up in the very early days of streaming.

You can see this just by looking at the VTubers under [Astral Universe].

Guardians of the galaxy, planet destroyers, creators of life, and so on…

In some ways, the Astral-affiliated VTubers have an even more extreme RP than Ijia.

So, did they manage to keep up their RP…?

[Clip: Day 2 of an Astral Universe-affiliated VTuber’s stream]

Nope.

LMAO.

Thanks to malicious viewers breaking their RP, one of them had a mental breakdown, another broke down in tears, and by Day 2, their personas were completely shattered.

LMAO.

Ironically, though, that legendary RP-breaking stream on Day 2 is what helped Astral Universe grow into a solid mid-tier VTuber company.

Looking back, it was the moment that solidified their VTuber personas.

I think the company planned for this from the beginning, designing intense RPs knowing how the audience would react.

This just shows that hardcore RP is usually just a temporary character-building setup or something to be used occasionally for entertainment, like WWE storylines.

But Ijia, though…

It’s been nearly a month since her debut, and not only has her persona not broken, she’s still keeping it up perfectly.

Yeah, she really is the god of RP.

I watched a short clip of Ayase’s stream posted on the forum.

“I feel like I should personally thank Jia. The other guests on the downfall show were amazing too, of course, but Jia was just… wow…”

“Right? You guys felt that too, didn’t you?”

“No, but seriously, isn’t it crazy? How can someone be that good at streaming?”

“And that final head-banging performance… Look, the clip already has 50K views.”

“I learned a lot from that stream.”

“Ah, right! Oops, I misspoke again. She’s not just a person, she’s an ardent follower!”

Ayase was non stop praising me.

“Heh… ehehe… ehehahahaha.”

I didn’t even bother hiding my emotions.

A dumb laugh kept slipping out of my mouth.

“Damn, she really likes this LMAO”

“This chick is just too honest about her emotions LOL”

“Your laugh is kinda pervy, noona…”

“Even the way she laughs sounds like a total psycho. Is this still RP?”

“No, this is just reality.”

For a year and a half, I obsessively watched Ayase’s streams.

She was my oshi.

Her streams were such a big part of my daily life that I couldn’t go without them.

And now, she was actively praising me like this.

Of course, I’d feel amazing.

“Cult leader, did you see the email Ayase sent?”

“No, not yet. If I read it…”

“If you read it…?”

“I don’t think I’d be able to stream.”

Let’s predict the future for a second.

The email Ayase sent is, without a doubt, going to be very positive.

If I read it, I’d probably get so overwhelmed with emotion that I wouldn’t be able to continue streaming.

Some viewers pointed out that I was overreacting.

“Shut it.”

I shut them down with just two words.

“Have you ever gotten a shoutout from Ayase? If you haven’t, don’t speak.
This is what an orgasm feels like.”

“BRO WTF LMFAO”

“That word choice tho LMAO”

“Her vocabulary is something else, fr”

“Uh… this might cause some controversy…”

“YOU’RE A VTUBER, ARE YOU INSANE? LOL”

“Wait, she’s a corporate VTuber?!”

“(Not actually a corporate VTuber)”

“…Oops.”

I think I messed up a little.

No matter how much my outward appearance and voice have changed into that of a woman,
my inner self and identity are still undeniably male.

Of course, my way of speaking and acting will be rough and masculine.

“A-anyway, let me talk about my impressions of appearing on Ayase’s Downfall Show.”

Yesterday, I did a short review stream at a PC bang, but I couldn’t speak properly because I was wary of the part-timer watching me.

Since I already gave a general review yesterday, today I decided to take some questions instead.

[User ‘Anbitchein Stars’ has donated 10,000 KRW]

Can I just ask outright?

“Of course. But by the way, I really don’t like your username…”

[User ‘Anbitchein Stars’ has donated 1,000 KRW]

So why did you bang your head at the end, and why did you bounce off?

Was it an ad-lib, or was it scripted?

“It was neither.”

I answered honestly.

“It was an accident. I got hit with the most extreme blasphemy of all time, so I smashed my keyboard, smashed my monitor, and smashed my desk… If that was scripted, I’d have to be insane.”

“Aren’t you a ‘she’, not a ‘he’?”

“Isn’t ‘crazy bitch’ more accurate? (seriously asking)”

“So basically, it was just WWE?”

“Aren’t they still doing WWE right now?”

“This bastard is just too obsessed with RP LOL”

“Damn, even during Q&A, they stay fully in character.”

“If it was scripted, it was the most dedicated script ever. If it was an ad-lib, it was genius-level ad-libbing LOL.”

“The way they bounced off and left a motion blur was straight-up Tekken LMAO.”

“No, seriously, it was an accident!”

Eeeeehhhhh…

“Yeah yeah, we believe you~”

“God of RP! God of RP! God of RP!”

Even when I told the truth, nobody believed me. It was a little frustrating.

Well, if I were a viewer of my own stream, I wouldn’t believe me either.

The whole ‘price of blasphemy’ concept is already unrealistic as hell.

And the idea that someone smashed a desk, monitor, and keyboard with their head?

Yeah, also completely unrealistic.

[User ‘Burgel’s Favorite Nickname’ has donated 10,000 KRW]

Why did you go to a PC bang?

“I told you already—I broke my desk, monitor, and keyboard. How else was I supposed to stream?”

The moment I explained, chat once again started spamming about how I was the God of RP and how even my explanations stayed perfectly in character.

Sigh.

Fine.

Think whatever you want.

If the world ever finds out that I’m actually an Awakened One, just don’t call me a liar.

I answered a few more questions after that.

[User ‘NoFaceCamGuy’ has donated 12,000 KRW]

So when are you doing a face-cam stream?

When? When? When? When? When?

“I already said, when I hit 50K followers.”

“Uh… you’re already past 30K.”

“At this rate, you’ll definitely hit 50K by next week.”

“This, too, is all thanks to Anbitchein Stars… No, I mean, Ayase-sama’s divine grace.”

“Yes, this is Ayase’s blessing.”

“Bow down to Ayase. Bow 100 times.”

I know.

The impact of Ayase’s Downfall Show was absolutely insane.

If this momentum keeps up, I’ll probably hit 50K by next week.

When I first made the pledge, I thought:

“A face-cam stream? Pfft, that’s nothing. If it helps grow my channel, I’d do it a hundred times!”

But now that 50K is right around the corner, I’m not exactly thrilled.

Since I always tuned in for VTuber face-cam events, I know exactly how they go.

To put it simply:

They’re just body-reveal streams.

Ugh.

The situation now is a little different from when I first made that promise.

I don’t really need to do a face-cam stream just to grow my channel anymore…

Ugh.

I really, REALLY don’t want to do a face-cam stream.

“Damn, this person’s tracking quality is too good, you can see every facial expression LOL.”

“Anyone can tell they absolutely don’t want to do this LMAO.”

“A promise is a promise. You have to do the face-cam, right?”

“HOLY ENERGY PUNCH!! LMAO.”

“Uh. Um. Just hypothetically speaking… if I were to do something else instead of a face-cam stream…”

“Immediate downfall. LMAO.”

“You’d become the biggest backtracking streamer in history.”

“Let us show you the true price of betrayal, hmm-hmm.”

“…Fine. I’ll do it. Happy now, you perverted bastards?”

“Bro, YOU were the one who promised it, why are you blaming US? LMAO.”

“You hit 50K because of YOURSELF, yet you’re blaming us? LMFAO.”

“A reward! A blessing!”

“Perverted bastard? Oh, I like that.”

“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

“Getting insulted by our cult leader is a rare privilege.”

I cannot afford to let myself fall into obscurity.

The camera for the face-cam stream is already set up.

Face-cam.

I’ll do it.

What other choice do I have?

I’ll worry about that later.

For now, let’s focus on today’s stream.

I think I’ve talked plenty about the Downfall Show.

Time to move on to the next content.

“Let’s play some games.”

Ijia’s signature content.

“Finding a game I’m actually good at.”

Chat’s reaction:

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH”

Cyber torture begins.

“I’ll go watch Ayase’s stream—… Ah, she ended. FUCK.”

“The gaming apocalypse begins.”

“Dude, I swear my little cousin plays games better than you…”

“What did we do to deserve this? LMAO.”

…Not great.

Come on, let me at least try before you start clowning on me.

I might actually be good at something.

You never know.

But one thing is certain.

“I’m REALLY good at brain games.”

A bit of a cheap move, but whatever.

If I just use my Wiki-powered intellect, puzzle games are a breeze.

I can cheese my way through them effortlessly.

And when I said that—

“?”

“??”

“?”

“What?”

“???”

“Ah, sure.”

Chat was suddenly filled with question marks.

What, have they been lied to all their lives or something?

“I’m serious! I’m an official archivist at Omnia Archive! A librarian!”

It’s not even a joke.

I’ve already proven my intelligence on stream several times.

During LoD’s ranking test, my theory answers were flawless.

During Ayase’s Downfall Show, I easily solved high-difficult general knowledge questions.

Chat finally accepted it.

But then…

“Wait, isn’t this person a complete airhead?”

“Three heads, but only one brain!”

“That’s not a brain in there, that’s holy energy LOL.”

New viewers, who had just joined the stream, were talking shit without knowing anything.

Oh, you fucked up now.

“Mod, ban all those idiots.”

Before I even finished speaking, the mindless insult spam got 30-minute timeouts.

And the blatant personal attacks?

Permabanned.

Oh.

The mod is actually doing their job well.

Yeah, I’ll make sure they get their chicken dinner reward this month.

I could prove my intelligence right now, but puzzle games are my ultimate secret weapon.

And a secret weapon should be saved for later.

For now…

I should start with a game I suck at.

Which is why I picked this:

“I’m going to a random 4-man queue in the Battle Lounge.”

A TPS battle royale game.

Goal: Chicken Dinner.

#1 Victory.
