Chapter Title: RP God, Lee Jia
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Domestic VTuber Gallery] Title: [Analysis, Long Post Warning] Lee Jia <- Not Called the RP God for Nothing Lee Jia's RP - Zealot, psycho, cult leader, madwoman. Normally, this kind of hardcore RP gets used up as a one-off gimmick in the very early days of streaming. You can tell just by looking at VTubers from [Astral Universe]. Guardians of galaxies, planet destroyers, life creators, etc... In a way, you could say Astral VTubers have way~~~~ more intense RP than Lee Jia. So, did they stick to their RP well? [Clip: Day 2 Stream - Astral Universe VTuber] Nope, not at all. Because of malicious viewers trying to break their RP, one went full mental breakdown, another squeezed out all their juice, and by day 2, they shattered like glass lol. Ironically, thanks to that legendary day 2 mask-breaking stream, Astral Universe grew into solid mid-tier VTubers. Looking back, it was the stream that properly set their character images. I bet the agency planned for that reaction from the start with the hardcore RP. Like that, hardcore RP is just a one-time setup for establishing VTuber characters, or fodder for occasional WWE-style banter. But this Lee Jia chick, f***... [Clip: Head-Banging Lee Jia] [Clip: Head-Banging Lee Jia 2] [Clip: Head-Banging Lee Jia 3] ... ... ... [Clip: Head-Banging Lee Jia 25] Even now, almost a month after debut, not only has her mask not broken, she's maintaining it perfectly. She's legit the RP God ㅇㅇ. ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ I watched the clip of Ayase's quick Naraka Show recap uploaded to the cafe.
"I feel like I should give Jia a proper thank-you. The other Naraka Show guests were all amazing too, but Jia was just..."
"Right? You all felt it too, didn't you?"
"Isn't it crazy, though? How can someone be that good on stream?"
"That head-banging finale... Look, the clip already has 50k views."
"It was a stream full of things to learn from."
"Oh, right! I messed up again... Not a person, a Fervent Devotee!"
Ayase was clearly gushing about me nonstop.
"Heh... Uhihihi... Uhehehehehe."
I didn't bother hiding my feelings.
A stupid grin leaked out through my lips.
💬 Live Chat — Viewer She's loving it so much lololol — Viewer This girl's brutally honest with her feelings ㅇㅇ — Viewer Her laugh looks pervy, eyes too... — Viewer She's laughing like a total madwoman, is this RP too? — Viewer Not RP, it's facts. For a year and a half, I'd obsessively watched only Ayase's streams.
Ayase was my oshi VTuber.
Her streams were practically part of my daily routine.
So when she praised me so enthusiastically like this...
How could I not feel great?
⚙ SUPERCHAT ⚙ ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won. Cult Leader-nim, did you see the email from Ayase? "No, I haven't looked yet. If I do..."
— Viewer What happens if you do...? "I probably won't be able to stream."
Let me predict the future.
Ayase's email is, if I dare guess, ridiculously positive.
If I read it... My emotions would overflow, and I couldn't continue the stream properly.
Some viewers called me out for overreacting.
"Gal!"
I shut them down with one word.
"Have you ever gotten a shoutout from Ayase? If not, shut up. This is what an orgasm feels like."
— Viewer Wtf lolololol — Viewer Word choice is wild lololol — Viewer Vocabulary on point fr — Viewer This might be controversial... — Viewer You're a VTuber? Crazy bitch lolololol — Viewer Corporate VTuber...? (Corporate slave) — Viewer Corporate (not actually) "..."
I think I slipped up a bit.
No matter how my appearance and voice had turned feminine.
My inner self and identity were still unmistakably male.
My speech couldn't help but be a bit manly and rough.
"Anyway, let me share some thoughts on appearing on Ayase's Naraka Show."
I'd done a quick recap stream at the PC bang yesterday.
But I couldn't speak freely with the part-timer watching.
I'd covered the basics yesterday, so today I'd take questions.
⚙ SUPERCHAT ⚙ Not Reflecting Myriad Stars donated 10,000 won. Can I ask straight up? "Sure. But your username rubs me the wrong way..."
⚙ SUPERCHAT ⚙ Not Reflecting Myriad Stars donated 1,000 won. So why'd you headbutt at the end, and why'd it bounce? Ad-lib or scripted? "Neither ad-lib nor scripted."
I answered honestly.
"It was an accident. I got the ultimate price for blasphemy, smashed the keyboard, monitor, desk... If that was scripted, I'd be insane."
— Viewer Chick not dude? — Viewer Madwoman right? (For real dunno) — Viewer Anyway, it was WWE right? — Viewer Can't you see she's doing WWE right now? — Viewer This streamer is straight RP crazy ㅇㅇ ⭐ Top Comment — Viewer Even answering Q&A, she sticks to RP like a knife — Viewer Scripted it'd be godawful script, ad-lib it'd be genius ad-lib lololol — Viewer The bounce and afterimage was legit kick lolololol "No, seriously, it was an accident?"
— Viewer eeee — Viewer We know we know — Viewer Anyway she says it was an accident~ — Viewer RP God! RP God! RP God! RP God! "..."
Even when I was honest, they wouldn't believe me. It was frustrating.
Well, yeah.
If I were a viewer watching my stream, I wouldn't believe me either.
The "price of blasphemy" setup was unrealistic to begin with.
And smashing a desk, monitor, and keyboard with your head? Unrealistic.
⚙ SUPERCHAT ⚙ VertuberGalleryFan donated 10,000 won. Why'd you go to the PC bang? "I told you, I smashed my desk, monitor, and keyboard. How was I supposed to stream?"
As I sorta-not-sorta explained, viewers started spamming about me being the RP God again.
Saying even my explanations stuck to RP perfectly.
Sigh.
Fine, think whatever you want.
If the truth about me being an Awakener ever gets out.
I just hope they don't call me a liar.
After that, I took a few more questions.
⚙ SUPERCHAT ⚙ HalfCamNewbie donated 12,000 won. So when's the half-cam? When's the half-cam? When's the half-cam? When's the half-cam? When's the half-cam? "At 50k followers, I said."
— Viewer You've got over 30k followers now tho? — Viewer At this rate, 50k next week for sure ㅇㅇ — Viewer This is Reflecting Myriad Stars's... no, Ayase's grace... — Viewer This is legit Ayase's grace — Viewer Bow to Ayase, bow 100 times. "..."
I know.
Ayase's Naraka Show had insane reach.
If this upward curve holds.
I'll hit 50k followers next week.
When I first made the pledge.
Half-cam stream? Piece of cake. For bigger streams, I'd do it 100 times!
...That was my mindset.
But now that 50k was right around the corner.
It didn't feel so great.
As someone who'd faithfully watched VTubers' half-cam events.
I knew what they were.
In one word: body showcase streams.
Ugh.
The situation had changed since I made the pledge.
No need to do half-cam just to grow anymore...
Ah.
F***, I hate half-cam so much.
— Viewer Your face is screaming how much you hate it lololol — Viewer Anyone can see she f***ing hates it lololol — Viewer She's like "I don't wanna..." but half-cam, gotta do it right? — Viewer Holy power pouch baaaaang lolol "W-Well, just to check... What if I do something else instead of half-cam..."
— Viewer Straight to naraka f*** — Viewer Becomes all-time backstab streamer ㅇㅇ — Viewer I'll show you naraka's price humhum "...Fine, I'll do it. Happy now, you perverts?"
— Viewer She promised it herself and now blames us f*** — Viewer She got good at streaming hit 50k herself not our fault fault fault — Viewer Peace ✌ — Viewer Perverts? Love it. — Viewer Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. — Viewer Cult Leader eye-slut... Rare stuff. I absolutely couldn't afford to go to naraka.
I already had the half-cam setup ready.
Half-cam.
Gotta do it, what choice do I have.
I'll worry about the half-cam stream later.
Focus on the current stream for now.
I've talked plenty about the Naraka Show recap.
Time for the next content.
"Time for some games."
Lee Jia's signature content.
"Finding a Game I'm Good At" begins.
💬 Live Chat — Viewer Kraaaaaaaaah — Viewer De...ath... plz... — Viewer Cyber torture starts. — Viewer Gonna watch Ayase... Oh stream ended f*** f*** f*** — Viewer Doomsday gaming stream ON. — Viewer Srsly my lil cousin plays better than her ;;; — Viewer What did we do to deserve this f*** f*** f*** f*** Not great.
How can they freak out before I even try.
You never know.
I might be good at one game at least.
One thing was for sure.
"I'm really confident in brainy games."
A bit cowardly, sure.
But puzzle games and such brainy ones.
If I just use my wiki ability right, I could clear them like free wins, super fun free wins.
As soon as I said that.
— Viewer ? — Viewer ?? — Viewer ??? The chat filled with question marks.
Have these people lived lives full of lies?
"I'm serious. I'm the Archivist of the Omnia Archive. Archivist, librarian."
Not to boast.
But I'd shown my brainy side plenty on stream.
Theory was perfect for Looter or Batch Goose.
And on Ayase's Naraka Show, I breezed through some tough trivia.
Viewers got it eventually.
But.
— Viewer Wasn't this chick thick-headed? — Viewer Three heads, one brain! — Viewer That thick skull's filled with holy power not brains ㅇㅇ The newbies flooding in just mindlessly trolled me.
These bastards.
Gotcha.
"Manager, temp ban all those idiots..."
Before I finished, mindless insults got 30-min temp bans.
Blatant personal attacks got perma-banned.
O.
Manager's performing well.
Definitely gotta give chicken this month.
Proving my brainy skills right now wouldn't be bad.
But puzzle games were like my ace card, so I saved it.
Best to keep ultimate moves hidden.
For now...
Better to tackle a game I'm weak at first.
So I picked this.
"Battle Lounge random 4-man queue."
TPS battle royale, Battle Lounge.
Goal: chicken.
#1.
