'Visible radio' shows where they chat with guests or viewers to keep things rolling.
Comprehensive gaming streams focused on AAA new releases and the like.
ASMR broadcasts that tickle your ears.
Heck, there's even a controversial category called 'Item Review Streams,' where Awakeners review [Items] right from Anomalous Phenomenon zones.
VTuber streams are just one slice of that internet broadcast pie.
Depending on the stream type, the viewers' personalities and chat vibes can differ wildly.
For VTuber streams, sure, each one has its own flavor, but there are some basic manners that apply across the board.
First off.
No redpill mentions.
As a VTuber's popularity grows, redpills start circulating whether they like it or not.
When that happens, you don't mention them.
It breaks immersion for both viewers and the VTuber.
Second.
No RP disruption.
In other words.
No mask-breaking.
RP is lifeblood for VTubers.
No matter how contrived it seems, protecting it as much as possible is basic etiquette for VTuber fans.
Stick to those two rules, and you can chat and have fun without getting banned.
But.
But here's the thing.
These roughly 600 viewers who flooded my stream...
💬 Live Chat — Viewer How's your mom and dad's name Reflecting Myriad Stars? — Viewer How's a person's name Reflecting Myriad Stars? — Viewer Archivist confirmed? Archivist confirmed? Archivist confirmed? — Viewer Why'd you slam your head on the desk? Mosquito bite on your forehead? — Viewer You said your race is Fervent Devotee of Reflecting Myriad Stars—what's the difference from humans? (Genuinely don't know) — Viewer How do Fervent Devotees reproduce? — Viewer Whatwhatwhat — Viewer Hey, don't cross the line. — Viewer Grumble grumble come here I don't know why, but it looks like they've set their sights on smashing my mask.
...Am I really that punchable?
I'm not.
Like I've said over and over, this level of RP disruption quality is nothing but appealing from a viewer's perspective.
Probably.
The viewers think my setting is too over-the-top, so they're rebelling naturally.
Well, it's not a setting—it's fact.
— Viewer As an Archivist, you've read a ton of books, right? — Viewer Read Carl Sagan's Cosmos? "...No."
— Viewer Dante's Divine Comedy? "Haven't read it."
— Viewer Read Thus Spoke Zarathustra? "What's that, you weeb? What'd Zarathustra say?"
— Viewer You sure you're an Archivist? "Yes."
— Viewer lolololol — Viewer Doesn't add up lololol — Viewer What a riot lololol — Viewer Archivist (doesn't read books) — Viewer I don't read books either! [User donated 1,000 won] Name one book that left the deepest impression on you in your life.
A book that left a deep impression?
This one's easy—no filter needed, straight off the top in one second.
"There's no way I'd ever date a shut-in loser like you—impossible, no way, absolutely not!"
— Viewer ? — Viewer ?? ...And a barrage of question marks flooded the chat.
You don't know this book?
It ranked number one in 'This Light Novel is Awesome!' a couple years back—a bona fide bestseller.
— Viewer What the hell lololol — Viewer It's the concept, for real lololol — Viewer This level of concept is a sickness lol — Viewer Aren't you an Archivist? "I am an Archivist."
Does being an Archivist mean I have to read nothing but heavy tomes?
Archivists are people too, you know. People.

My first stream in life came down safely.
Or did it?
I banned about ten viewers who called Reflecting Myriad Stars "[Bitchin' Myriad Stars]."
And five or so malicious trolls who called [Omnia Archive] "[UmMia Archive]."
I couldn't tolerate UmMia Archive either.
I burst out laughing for a second and paid the price for the blasphemy.
Lucky this body's tough, or a normal person's skull would've shattered by now.
...There were crises, but I think I pulled it off unscathed.
After the debut stream ended, the countdown in the top right corner was gone.
Phew.
Good riddance. I was seeing it every time I blinked and thought I'd go mad. Feels refreshing now.
I planned for about an hour, but.
So many people showed up unexpectedly, so I ended up streaming for three hours without realizing.
Peak viewers today.
A whopping 758.
Not even from a big agency with a huge fanbase, so pulling this many on debut is definitely unusual.
Proof that my RP disruption quality was top-notch.
Proof that my R... er, my 'past history' was fresh.
That's weird, though.
I forced the stream out of fear of disposal, noise complaints be damned.
But no complaints after three whole hours.
This rundown apartment has zero soundproofing. Strange...
Maybe.
That black smoke altered the structure of my place?
"Hey!!!!!"
I tested it with a shout.
And then.
Thud, thud.
Bang, bang.
Thump, thump.
Tap, tap.
Colorful reactions from upstairs, downstairs, and neighbors all around.
Nope.
Still no soundproofing.
Hmm.
I dunno, but.
This must be Reflecting Myriad Stars's grace too.
Probably the noise cancellation in the 'Omnia Streaming Program.'
No money to my name, but at least no worries about moving for streaming.
Good's good.
...Oh, right.
Money!
How much donations?
"Whoa..."
123,000 won.
Forced VTuber gig or not, if this hits my account daily...
Hey, not half bad.
I haven't revealed my ability to viewers yet.
It'll come out naturally during streams eventually...
Too early for debut.
No good pulling too much aggro.
My ability to 'check info on objects or people in wiki form'...
Its impact is way too huge, no matter how I slice it.
Sure, it'd be super useful for world peace and societal progress.
Even in this age of peace, Anomalous Phenomena keep threatening humanity.
Mishandling Items causes casualties all the time.
If I checked info beforehand, I could prevent that.
But I'm no hero.
I'm an average Joe.
Someone who values immediate personal gain over world peace.
And now this lunatic difficulty 'duty' drops on a normie like me.
I'm losing my mind here.
Yeah, debuting as a VTuber wasn't the issue.
2. Must create a new [Item] entry at least once a month.
3. Must create a new [Anomalous Phenomenon] entry at least once a month.
That's the real problem.
...Damn.
Checked again, no changes.
Like it or not, to make new [Item] and [Anomalous Phenomenon] entries.
I'll have to walk into an Anomalous Phenomenon zone myself.
They spawn roughly once a week.
New Items and Phenomena pop up in zones weekly.
Back in the day, everyone avoided them.
But like I said, it's the age of peace now.
Still insanely dangerous, but more Items, stronger Awakeners.
Awakeners compete to clear them now.
And.
Like it or not, starting tomorrow, I'm jumping into that race too.
One month left.
New [Item] and [Anomalous Phenomenon] entries within a month.
Or.
Disposal.
