The SSR Awakened, Lee Jia
To be perfectly honest.
Ever since I started the game, I’d been incredibly worried about how my character would turn out.
Abnormal Hunters is a gacha game that leans into the extreme end of the male-oriented subculture, but even taking that into account… it was a game with a level of intensity that made me wonder how it even passed the domestic ratings board.
If you were to take vulgarity and push it past the point of no return, over and over again, I think this is exactly the kind of game that would be born.
Thankfully, perhaps because it was a collaboration character, they seemed to cut me some slack.
'Fervent Follower of the Shining Stars - Lee Jia' was a very wholesome character with absolutely no exposure.
At first glance, it made me think, "Doesn't this feel out of place in Abnormal Hunters?"
The top buttons were buttoned up tight.
Though, the skirt did flip up completely because of the wind…
…Still, you couldn't see her panties.
The moment the skirt flipped, holy light filled the entire screen.
The reactions from the core fans were as follows:
An unexpected reaction.
I thought these people only liked things that were blatantly vulgar.
It seems that targeting the niche market of "wrapping up tight" actually worked perfectly.
Haa…
I’m relieved.
If the modeling had turned out mediocre, the core fans would have hated it… fortunately, the modeling was top-tier.
And the voice actor’s performance seems excellent, too.
But.
While the core fans seem satisfied, the believers who usually watch my streams are…
"No, the core fans all love it. Don't be unreasonable, you damn believers."
The core users playing this world-class vulgar game are satisfied enough, but the believers are typing dissatisfied chats.
I guess the world is turning upside down.
…Anyway, since I’ve pulled the collab character.
Now it’s time to review the skills.
I entered the 'Abnormal Center,' where I could check the Awakened I’d pulled at a glance, and checked Lee Jia’s skill list.
I’m curious about this, too.
[SSR-Rank Awakened]
[Fervent Follower of the Shining Stars]
[Lee Jia]
["This, too, must be the grace of the Shining Stars!"]
— A fanatic who worships the Great One named the Shining Star, and the leader of the Star Cult.
Because of her clumsy personality and reckless behavior, she looks like a fool on the outside.
But in reality, she possesses a faith bordering on madness for the Shining Star, so you’ll be in for a rude awakening if you think she’s an easy woman.
She comes from a race called 'Fervent Follower,' which is not human, and she is working hard today to spread the teachings of the Shining Star to humans.
…However, it is ironic that her religion, the 'Star Cult,' is perceived as a cult by the public.
As an aside, she calls her own large breasts 'holy power pouches.'
Her explanation is that she isn't fat, but that they grew naturally because she is filled with faith.
"…"
Uh, exactly.
I’m triggered.
I’m triggered by the fact that I look like a fool, triggered that they called the Star Cult a cult, triggered that I myself called my breasts holy power pouches, and triggered that they said I usually do missionary work.
All four are wrong.
First of all, I’m not a fool, but a true librarian of the Omnia Archive who constantly explores knowledge, and a Fervent Follower.
The Star Cult is not a cult, but the real deal.
The wording 'holy power pouch' wasn't made by me, but by the believers.
And I’ve never done missionary work in my life.
…Wait, is that right?
C-come to think of it, just a few days ago, I went around preaching to Awakened to believe in the Shining Star, so I guess I have done missionary work.
Fine, I’ll concede, I’ll admit the last point is correct.
I didn't like it from the start, but I continued reading the skill descriptions.
Affiliation: Omnia Archive
Position: Sub-Dealer / Sub-Supporter
Passive Skill: This, too, must be the grace of the Shining Stars!
Boosts team morale with faith in the Shining Star.
Increases team's Abnormal Resistance
Level 1 - 4.8% increase
Full Enhancement - 12.8% increase
1st Breakthrough - 13.8% increase, 0.5% increase per subsequent breakthrough
"Is this good…?"
Sub-dealer and sub-supporter.
Doesn't that just mean a vague deal-supporter?
Usually, in gacha games, SSR characters with such vague positions are destined to be abandoned like dogs…
The stat 'Abnormal Resistance' also seems quite vague.
16.8% at full breakthrough.
Objectively, that doesn't seem like a very high number.
The core fans' reactions are also somewhat vague.
Right, I told you, even if I’m terrible at games, I have an eye for them.
Usually, in these subculture games, characters with OP performance have insane stats from the start.
Well, anyway.
Collab characters are usually limited characters that can only be pulled within a limited period and don't have reruns.
If they make the performance too broken, newbies entering the game later might get annoyed and quit.
I’m okay with the performance being bad.
Next is time to look at the active skills.
A-Slot Active Skill: Shining Star Punch!
Delivers divine punishment to the Abnormal with a fist filled with holy power.

Area attack
Level 1 - 498% damage, 50.8% Abnormal defense ignore
Full Breakthrough - 1247% damage, 100% Abnormal defense ignore
[Special effect triggered at full breakthrough]
Hmm.
I thought so.
As expected, the Price of Blasphemy comes out as the ultimate skill.
I don't know about the performance.
Ugh.
They say it's either a business card or 1st breakthrough.
Even if it’s a collab character, didn't they make it too weak?
Whatever happens, it seems both core fans and believers are looking forward to the skill effects.
I decided to go to the training ground and do a simple skill demonstration.
But…
The in-game combat modeling.
A bit.
"The butt and breasts seem too big…"
It was a somewhat unrealistic posture that particularly emphasized her butt and breasts.
But I guess that’s an unavoidable part of the game’s nature.
I’m just grateful there’s no exposure.
Ugh.
But, I don't know if I should say this.
…It feels like the intensity is too weak.
O-of course, I’m not saying I want the game developers to put her in revealing clothes.
Still, it’s a collab, so it needs to sell well for me and the developers to be happy.
I’m not joking, with this level of weak intensity.
It feels like it wouldn't be out of place even if it came out in another generic gacha game, not Abnormal Hunters.
With a slightly worried heart, I demonstrated the active skill.
First, the A-slot active skill.
Shining Star Punch.
When I press the skill, an in-game cutscene appears.
The character 'Lee Jia' speaks with a stern expression.
Somehow, the line doesn't seem to suit me either.
I think the collab is ruined.
…That thought disappeared completely because of the following effect.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap-tap.
The character 'Lee Jia' suddenly unbuttons her clothes.
"What are you doing, you crazy bitch!"
Since the screen was filled with light full of holy power, you could only see the silhouette…
But the silhouette makes it look even more erotic.
Next, the character 'Lee Jia' moves her right hand to her holy power pouch.
And she does something strange.
…I don't know, I don't know what that crazy bitch is doing either.
A moment later.
Lee Jia’s right hand is filled with holy power.
And.
Lee Jia judges the enemy.
The screen composition is also very artistic.
Damn, what kind of crazy Awakened attacks an anomaly with their butt pushed back like that?
Her skirt was lifted up to her thighs, but fortunately, her panties weren't visible.
Like that.
The effect of the A-slot active skill ended.
"…"
Now I know.
This new SSR-rank character… so, 'Fervent Follower of the Shining Stars - Lee Jia' is.
She was a character who used her holy power pouch as a medium to judge enemies or heal team members.
In a word.
It seems the holy power pouch is her weapon.
