Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 152

On the second day of the 2nd-generation debut relay, the online community was already abuzz with excitement after watching the previous day’s streams.

[Are the rest of the 2nd-gens debuting today?]
I watched yesterday; they seem solid. Looking forward to today.

• Yup.
• Everyone else is debuting today.
• Is Miro streaming today?
  ㄴ Definitely. No way she skips this.

[Yesterday was legendary.]
(Caption of Seolha’s chat screenshot)
Miro shut down the chat chaos with just two words. 😂

• LOL, that was gold.
• The difference was night and day when Miro showed up.
• The way it immediately calmed down was hilarious.

[Their designs are insane.]

Haeun’s character is on another level. Look at that hair texture.

• Right? The others were great too, but her design? Chef’s kiss.
  ㄴ I liked Haeil, though.
• She sings really well.
  ㄴ Not quite Anna-tier, though.
  ㄴ Agreed.

[Why the 2nd-gens are a pain in the ass:]
Because their streams meant no Miro stream.

• Ugh, seriously.
• Why didn’t she stream yesterday?!
  ㄴ She’ll stream today. Bet on it.

[The 2nd-gens are live!]
Let’s go!

• Who is it today?
  ㄴ Harbin.
  ㄴ Wait, who’s that?
  ㄴ She was in the 1st-gen audition but didn’t make it.

[Harbin must be feeling awkward, lol.]
If she hadn’t failed back then, she’d be a senior now.

• Tough break. She wasn’t ready back then.
  ㄴ True.
• She failed, and Miro got in instead. 😂
  ㄴ The Six knew what they were doing. 👌

[Harbin’s character isn’t super flashy.]
Yesterday’s characters were all nature-themed and vibrant, but hers is kind of plain.

• Still way better than the 1st-gen’s quality.
  ㄴ That’s true. 😂

The community buzzed with posts, debates, and memes as the streams continued.

[Watching Eunha’s stream: what’s with the background?]
Her BGM is straight out of a space opera.

• LOL.
• Why’s her name three syllables?
  ㄴ Because space.
• Her theme fits, though.

[WTF, look at this quality.]
(Screen capture of Eunha’s stream)
Her design is insane.

• What even is this?!
  ㄴ 2nd-gen quality.

By the end of the day, the community was flooded with discussions comparing the 1st-gen to the newly debuted 2nd-gen.

[This hits differently now.]
(Screen capture of Eunha’s stream alongside a 1st-gen profile lineup)
“Why does the 1st-gen look so shabby now?”

• Holy crap, the gap in quality is wild.
• 1st-gen isn’t bad, but the 2nd-gen set a new bar.
• Are they gonna get remakes?

The conversation about the 2nd-gen even extended to comparing them with Miro specifically.

[Hot take: Eunha is just unlucky to be in Miro’s shadow.]

(Miro’s gaming highlights)
“So she sings, draws, and games well?”
But is she better than Miro?
No.
(Picture of Miro at a company dinner)
“And is she prettier than Miro?”
Also no.

• 😂 This post wins.
• Damn, Miro is unbeatable.

[2nd-gens must hate Miro.]
No matter what they do, they’ll always be compared to her.

• For real. Miro does this for fun, and she still dominates.
• If they’re salty, they should’ve been born in a pre-Miro era.

[Let’s worry about someone else for a second.]
The rest of the 1st-gen—other than Miro—might struggle now.

• 😂 True.
• The others are strong too, though.

Meanwhile, in the 1st-gen group chat:

Discussions about the 2nd-gen avatars had spilled over to our private chat.

“Have you guys seen the 2nd-gens? Their models are next-level.”
“Are we… okay? Comparatively?”
“Should we pool some money and fund our own remakes?”
“Let’s talk to management about it.”
“Or just whine until they cave in.”

After some back and forth, we collectively decided to approach our manager.

And somehow, I ended up being the one to make the call.

[Hello?]
“Hey, Manager.”

[What’s up?]

I paused for a second. How was I supposed to phrase this without sounding like a brat?

“Well, I watched the 2nd-gen streams yesterday….”

[Oh, I know. You even streamed after. The 2nd-gens said you kicked them out of your chat.]

“They… contacted you about that?”

[Yes, they were worried they’d upset you.]

“What? Why?”

[They were afraid you might dislike them.]

“Oh.”

That was… unexpected. Did they think they’d crossed a line by barging into my stream?

“And what did you tell them?”

[I told them you were very upset and that they should apologize.]

“Hah… funny.”

[….]

“…You’re joking, right?”

[Maybe.]

“Seriously?”

The conversation eventually shifted to discussing the possibility of 1st-gen avatar remakes.

[Why did you think we weren’t planning a remake?] the manager asked.

“Wait, you are?”

[Of course. The 2nd-gens just debuted. You didn’t think we’d leave the 1st-gen hanging, did you?]

I suddenly felt foolish for doubting.

[Honestly, I’m a little offended you didn’t trust us.]

“…Fair point.”

I quickly ended the call, apologizing profusely for wasting their time.

Throwing my phone onto the bed, I sighed deeply.

If the company was already working on remakes, there was no need for me to fret.

All that was left for me to do was stream. After all, if the company was giving their all to improve our avatars, I should give my all in return.

“Alright. Time to remind everyone why the 1st-gen is still here.”
