「Wilma: Wasn't that Park Jinseok guy the one who was sneakily acting all cocky? His face is screaming defeat. Can't wait for the next broadcast? We'll get all the juicy details.」
「Heljalal: No need to watch to know what happened lololol. Koreans being Korean while Winter's away lololol. The hellfire peninsula folks' true colors ain't changing. It'll be a total shitshow lololol」
「Heljalal: Even during that call with the old fart boss before, that Baek San-ho or whatever was already scheming land grabs lolololol. Koreans gotta burn it all down and start over to make anything, but they can only make Korea lolol」
「ExtremeConservative: At least they make Korea—that's lucky enough. That's why exceptional leaders matter. Without President Park Chung-hee, our country would've been a total mess. Constant riots. Endless complaints. Where else you gonna find a country this good?」
「HectopascalKick: Aww, look at our little bug getting all excited?」
「ExtremeConservative: Hey fuck, am I wrong? Look at Winter Alliance. Winter's a ball-less fake-nice backwoods hick that pisses me off, but as a leader, he holds shit together so the refugee mob doesn't turn into total trash. Fuck, isn't this exactly like Korea during industrialization vs. other developing countries?」
「RealThickOne: Yeah yeah, we get it, so shut the fuck up already.」
「ExtremeConservative: Fine, next fermented skate.」
「20sResigned: Long live the great leader of the Republic of Korea, hunter of independence fighters, coup commander, and His Excellency Masao Takaki of the North Korean Party Buster, father of the man with an aura like a hundred fluorescent lights blazing—our forever abai!」
「YeoMinROCK: Preserve the Korean people as Koreans forever—Taegukgi flapping in the wind—bugs squirming in the dirt—」
「ExtremeConservative: These fuckers commies or what? Heard Pyongyang's logging in these days too.」
「ShitDangdang: For real? Pyongyang got turned into a massive inferno before. Anything even left there?」
「ExtremeConservative: Commies never die easy. Cockroach-level life force ㅇㅇ」
「Wilma: Cockroach life force? Ain't the time to talk about others lololol」
「DodonGongchu♡: Lmaoooooo how's that happening lololol bug calling out bugs lmaoooooo」
「SweetMocha: Can't see yourself without a mirror, I guess heh」
「OlympicGoldMedal: Even looking won't help if your brain's udon noodles.」
「ExtremeConservative: Shut up you commie cunts.」
「DoomchitDoomchit: Yeah, net's full of Korea-haters lately. Total nobodies in real life with no plans or skills, just mouths flapping. Be grateful you weren't born in Africa.」
「NitrogenPacked: Agreed. Idiots who think shitting on politicians makes them cool are hopeless.」
「Blair: Koreans really love each other, huh. Such deep patriotism.」
「Groseillier Noir: People Vladimir Rusky would love, right? Same level.」
「Vladimir: Level...? Wanna measure Baltic Sea depth with your eye level?」
「Groseillier Noir: Oh, you're here. Sorry. ;-)」
「BigBuffetBoy86: Thought us Americans were the only rude ones till I saw this post-broadcast insurance chat!」
「OldSpice: Humanity united by sex and fat-shaming!」
「Eektta: Total embarrassment to the country.」
「ElectronicAnkleMonitor: Nah, it's humanity's embarrassment.」
「TeamLeaderKimMiyeong: But sober up a bit and it's kinda sad. Koreans can only make Korea.」
「Mustafa: Just look at these fucks here—doesn't it prove the point? People are what they are.」
「WrathOfGrapes: Gotta admit it. No choice.」
「IngrownToenail: Same with other old fogey broadcasts. In 'Day after Apocalypse' world, no exceptions lol」
「MorningSoju: What's it like there?」
「IngrownToenail: All the same, I said? Pick any starting spot, refugees are all motherless pig-dog bastards lol. Groups that seem nice at first go bad quick no matter the nationality lolol」
「IngrownToenail: Not just 'Day after Apocalypse' either. Hosts gotta take some blame, but reconstructed past worlds are all filthy—proves human nature's evil, right?」
「ThisTastesHell: What's human nature's evil?」
「JessicaFullTime: People are inherently evil.」
「ThisTastesHell: ? Ain't that obvious?」
「RyeoGwonNaraU: lololol」
「Duchi: lololol」
「SlowWagon: I... won't... explain... human nature theory... damn.」
「AdolfWhitura: Kids like Winter are basically mutants. ㅇㅇ」
「HardGay: Weird thing about this broadcast is, watching it makes 'Day after Apocalypse' feel unreal lololol」
「Mustafa: Nah. Rich S-rank subscribers say their worlds' starting nations never collapse. No one's seen it since S-ranks got no reason to show their lives, so it's just hearsay... but probably true? They start as presidents or billionaires.」
「Storm224: By that logic, this stream's top-tier S-rank content? lol」
「NukeCutie: Our Winter's so popular, it's getting better and better ㅠㅠ rankings keep climbing ㅠㅠ new streams every day ㅠㅠ sis always knew Winter would make it ㅠㅠ」
「DongmakgolSmiGol: Honestly, I hate it.」
「Grade9CivilServant: What's bugging you now?」
「DongmakgolSmiGol: Hate that a guy who ignores viewer demands is succeeding. Feels like I'm losing, anyone else?」
「DongmakgolSmiGol: Plus he's a talent freak making more money than me. FML.」
「Eektta: Too late to complain now. Let it go, it's easier. Fun and realistic, so I keep watching.」
「BillyHerrington: Yup. Fun's all that matters. Black cat or white cat, catches mice it's good. Man or woman, tastes good it's fine.」
「HoGootHoGoot: But that fun's got no sex in it...」
「NationalSlaveShowoff: Probably never...」
「AppSuni: Doubt it...」
「DongmakgolSmiGol: Tch, pig-dog bastards.」
「Aristotle: Question: Would you be a happy pig or an unhappy human?」
「Tunguska: Happy pig!」
「ActiveXFuckOff: Installing ActiveX to attack Japan.」
「HardGay: Crazy fucks lolololol」
「NuclearPower: This channel blowing up made those old fogeys running 'Day after Apocalypse' quit streaming. Even original star creator Park Woo-cheol's thinking of folding. Straight-up shitting on Winter.」
「NewSpring: Shitting? What'd he say?」
「NuclearPower: That young punk doesn't know manners or business ethics lolol」
「NewSpring: What lololol grow old gracefully lololol」
「BlackCat: Probably blurting shit out in panic. Those granny broadcasts feel like juggling credit card debt. Tons of folks get discarded if it flops. Kinda pitiful.」
「WhoTheFuckRU: Credit card debt juggling? Wtf?」
「BlackCat: Don't know? DLC for public streams charges fees based on viewers. Even with crowds, no stars means doom.」
「DoomchitDoomchit: Good riddance. Time for useless old farts to go. Just baggage for the young.」
「Mitsiel: But kinda worried—how long can Winter last?」
「Mitsiel: Almost ended multiple times already? Still alive's pure luck.」
「PizzaObviously: Frfr. Like Park Jinseok said, better get selfish from now on or it'll stay shaky. Cut the useless meddling. Why shield death row scum? Piss off the division commander and you're fucked. Managing them's a headache anyway.」
「RyeoGwonNaraU: Hmm, didn't he say execution's not just killing by any means? Wtf is that, words or fart? They confessed to killing their own family. Method matters why? Probably not serious—just a gimmick?」
「Matsumin: Winter's not gimmicking. He's just pure-hearted.」
「OneThrust: Tch, hearts ain't for being pure.」
「Matsumin: Why?」
「OneThrust: Pure wears out faster.」
「Matsumin: Oh...」
「ExtremeConservative: Guy preaching pure hearts ignores victims' feelings?」
「ExtremeConservative: Only chill cuz it's VR—IRL it'd be real beatdowns.」
「Groseillier Noir: Fight him—you'd lose.」
「ExtremeConservative: Wtf Euro chink.」
「Loan1Billion: Hate sympathizing with bugs cuz it makes me feel buggy, but he's right. Why keep death row alive? Not just streams—IRL too. Human rights bullshit while feeding and housing them. Laughable country. Only the dead victims suffer.」
「AngryNeeson55: I agree. If someone killed my daughter and lived comfy, I'd puke. I'd hunt 'em down and kill 'em myself.」
「EverTriedDolce: Hate my taxes feeding and housing those fucks. Human rights for humans only, right? What rights for non-humans? Most inmates are foreign scum anyway. Dirty savage cockroach hosts. -_-」
「NukeCutie: But what if it's wrongful conviction...」
「NoClanning: If it's undeniably evil, kill away?」
「NukeCutie: ...Maybe? But what if you thought it was undeniable evil and it wasn't?」
「NoClanning: Then it ain't undeniable!」
「NukeCutie: How often is it that undeniable? Pointless?」
「NoClanning: ...Maybe?」
「NationalBashingDuty: Cute kids playing lololol」
「NoDripWithNick: Say this and you'll get called neo-Confucian nerd explainer, but executing death penalty doesn't always save taxes.」
「RyangUJa: Hey! Neo-Confucian! Explainer mode today too!」
「NoDripWithNick: Death penalty needs ironclad cases only, so give convicts full appeals. Who wouldn't appeal a death sentence? Even no-hopers drag it out to live one more second. Innocent or guilty.」
「NoDripWithNick: State foots the bill—they're broke. More executions = more taxes. Lawyers cost a fortune. Judges and prosecutors every trial.」
「NukeCutie: Holy...」
「NoClanning: That's fucked.」
「NoDripWithNick: Get your feelings, but deal. Law's principle: Let 100 guilty go free before wronging one innocent.」
「BanDalkHome: Kyaa—law's spirit's lit, super lit?」
「RyeoGwonNaraU: This super-lit villain won't die. Apologize to Super-Lit-ssi.」
「ExtremeConservative: Frustrating. Too idealistic. I'd rather wrong one innocent than let 100 guilty walk.」
「YourMom: What if you're that one?」
「ExtremeConservative: Effort to not be. Effort. Getting framed's from lack of effort. Stay vigilant. Shit happens otherwise.」
「Mustafa: Effort fixes that...?」
「ResignedYouth: Fine whatever. But Winter's guy is different—he confessed to wiping his family.」
「Matsumin: He saved the kids.」
「Matsumin: Did irreversible wrong, but seems like someone who wouldn't crime in better circumstances.」
「NoDripWithNick: Matsumin's right. Seen it here tons—people shaped by environment. Society shares blame for every crime. Hence duty to rehabilitate.」
「NitrogenPacked: What, you a professor?」
「NoDripWithNick: Nah.」
「NitrogenPacked: Non-professor acting smart af.」
「NitrogenPacked: BanDalkHome stfu.」
「BanDalkHome: So mean...」
「SALHAE: ....」

============================ Author's Note ============================
#All-Nighter
Pulled an all-nighter writing after ages. Not for this chapter—Naver's not accepting manuscripts from Thursday 2 PM to Monday due to internal event...
Thought about asking for understanding and batch-uploading later, but decided to push through.
#Q&A
Q. Carpis: @Major in under a year? Commander in two? Child abuse, report it... Who are you people! Mmph mph
A. Minister-level's a different league. Roger's promotion to colonel was exceptional for the same reason.
Q. rumen: @Colonel Roger -> Brigadier General Roger? Wait, no—Colonel Roger.
A. Fixed. Thanks! :)
Q. Tarnis: Living off novels...? Possible?
A. Got lucky. Debut work sustaining life...
Q. Jamei: Went full-time? Joara Noblesse full-timer should've hit Munpia, Kakao, at least premium here.
A. Can't join Kakao Page due to Noblesse serialization, but uploading to Naver, Ridibooks, Bookcube. Thanks for worrying.
