Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 21

The primary audience of the Celestial Project participants are viewers attracted by The Six’s promotions.

In other words, the viewer base among the members overlaps significantly and circulates among them.

However, only one person.

Only I have a primary audience that comes from the community.

Because of this, the atmosphere is different from other members, and viewers who come from other members’ streams naturally blend into this chat culture, truly practicing patience and self-respect.

The company recognized this issue before the acceptance and offered me a reshuffling suggestion.

I refused that suggestion, but the company still accepted me, and now, minor and major side effects are starting to appear.

Here, I have two choices.

Either clean up the viewers.

Or expand the audience as it is.

And of course, I will choose the latter.

Did I not refuse the company’s suggestion to choose the former?

Moreover, some of the current major companies have many people who maintain an atmosphere similar to mine.

So, it doesn’t mean growth is impossible.

In fact, this might make it easier for other viewers to join in.

It’s easier to step into a somewhat free street than to enter a strictly regulated clean zone. However, there is a problem, and that is the clash with other fandoms.

Due to the group’s nature, there will be frequent collaborations and many projects done together, so it would be problematic if the fandoms fight during those times. This part needs traffic control.

So, while I’m broadcasting, I decided to briefly mention this issue and give a warning to the viewers.

“So, you understand, right? I don’t ask you to get along with other fandoms, just don’t fight.”

-Yes, yes, lol

-But the hardcore fans started it…

-Yes (entering the chat)

Ugh…

Why do I feel like they won’t listen?

Giving a strong warning and creating pressure here is a bad move.

Sometimes broadcasters misunderstand, but broadcasters and viewers are never in a superior-subordinate relationship.

Rather, it is correct to say that broadcasters take money and popularity, and viewers take fun and satisfaction. If expressed in business terms, it is a partnership.

So, in these situations, you should coax them gently and repeatedly emphasize it sequentially.

If you go out strong from the beginning, it will only cause a backlash.

“Let’s do well. Miro’s broadcast is something we build and grow together, right?”

-Hmm.. is that so..

-If we are partners, why do only you get the money?

-Is it that much?

You jerks…

Viewers who have become sullen like this won’t listen, so I’ll change the topic as usual.

“Anyway, shall we play League of Legends with a 5-man queue for today’s broadcast?”

-Awesome, lol

-Let’s do it

-She immediately entered

“Please tell me your nickname. I will invite randomly.”

Anyway, since it was just a casual game, I was planning to invite anyone and play a few rounds.

But at that moment, with a beep- sound, a donation message arrived.

[Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, Master Miro!]

-Are your eyes okay, Miro? Just asking out of concern. (LoL Nickname: Mater Miro)

Seeing the donation message asking about my eyes out of nowhere, I quickly responded.

“Ah- Thank you for the 10,000 won donation! Just in time, my eyes were getting blurry, making it hard to read the chat. But since you left this voice message, I feel like Sim Cheong who doesn’t know where to put herself…”

-Hahaha.

-Me..

-Rock.

-What the heck.

-Damn..

-That’s tough.

-She’s collecting money while doing this..

“Haha.. I’m just kidding. Since you donated, I’ll invite you first and then take other applicants. Your nickname shows you’re a true fan.”

-But isn’t that an abbreviation? haha

-Something about a checker board at a nursing home…

-Please invite me

“Okay, you’ve been invited. Next.. just a moment.. Am I tired today? My eyes are a bit blurry.”

[Thank you for the 5,000 won donation, Stationery Eraser Thief Miro!]

-Steel Heart Miro<- Invite me, you moron.

“Thank You!”

-You can’t help blurry eyes

-I’m changing Oshi

-Oshihen (Clear your eyes and come back)

“Okay, I’ll really pick the remaining two from the chat. So.. this person and..”

After having enough fun, I randomly picked people from the chat and invited them to play the game.

After the broadcast ended, I asked the manager about the issue related to the cafe.

[Ah, we were also aware of that issue.]

“What? Did you know?”

[Yes, compared to the other members, you are mentioned quite often in the community and have a decent number of viewers, but only your cafe remains inactive. I was planning to mention it to you someday.]

“I see… Do you know how the company views this situation?”

[This is an internal matter, but we don’t have many solutions. One possible method is to completely overhaul, even at the risk of losses, but doing that when your viewer base is solidifying would cause a huge backlash. Plus, it’s not a method you would prefer, right?]

“That’s true… But if things continue this way, it might cause trouble for the team, so I should be cautious.”

[Yes, that would be better. Still, the company has a positive view of you.]

“Really?”

To be honest, I didn’t think the company would like me that much, but they do?

[Yes, now that I mention it, there was a lot of talk when we were discussing your acceptance. However, the composer praised you when working on a song, and above all, don’t you lead the atmosphere well during collaborations?]

“That’s true.”

[What I mean to say is, you don’t need to worry about the company. Basically, you are sufficiently contributing to the team’s growth. We just need to be a bit more careful about conflicts between fandoms.]

I was impressed by the manager’s words.

Is this really the same person who couldn’t even make proper eye contact before?

They speak clearly and without hesitation, and it’s quite helpful.

I didn’t call to get comforted, but it feels comforting.

No wonder the company entrusted all six members to them.

[Anyway, since Miro is growing well, please continue handling the schedule as you have been. Have a good night.]

After ending the conversation with the manager, I stared blankly at the ceiling.

“…But in conclusion, they’re telling me to continue as I have been, right?”

Can I really continue like this?

Feeling a bit uneasy, I decided to ego-surf for the first time in a while.

I went to an anonymous community site that I haven’t visited recently to search for my name, and there was a post with my name prominently featured on the popular posts list.

[Miro Red Pill Dropped (19)]

“Huh? What?”

Red pill.

Motivated by the famous red pill from the movie, it reveals the truth about a VTuber’s real-life persona.

So it means a post related to my personal information.

I was startled, thinking there might be something problematic about me, and clicked on the post, only to see a huge picture.

-Give it a thumbs up, everyone. LOL

“Oh crap.”

I was really surprised since it was on the popular posts, but it was just clickbait?

Moreover, judging by the comments, it seems they even used a fake program to get it to the popular posts.

“Is this person one of my viewers too…?”

Are these kinds of people gathering in my broadcast?

Around the time I was seriously contemplating whether it would have been better to just start over, a sudden thought flashed through my mind.

“Can’t I just use this place like a café?”

It’s anonymous, and the galleries are divided by different fields.

Each gallery also has subcategories, so is there really any difference between a café and here?

Of course, it wouldn’t solve the fundamental problems, but dividing things up like this would make announcements easier and help separate different fandoms, reducing the chances of fights, right?

With that thought in mind, I decided to create a gallery for Miro.

Since non-members can’t create one, I signed up and then created a minor gallery.

Since there was already a Miro Minor Gallery, I applied to create a “Queen singer Miro Minor Gallery.”

However, by this point, I started to worry a little.

It’s never good for a streamer to reveal that they’re looking at an anonymous community.

Moreover, if I go as far as creating a gallery myself, controversy is bound to arise…

But is it different if it’s my own gallery?

Famous celebrities sometimes leave posts in communities related to them, so as long as I don’t stir things up, isn’t it okay?

Thinking that, I applied for the gallery, laid out a rough plan, and called my manager.

It was late, but not quite bedtime yet.

Fortunately, the call connected before the dial tone went on for too long.

[Hello? Miro?]

“Manager, I’m really sorry to call so late, but I have something to ask.”

[Oh, it’s fine. Please feel free to speak.]

As the manager told me to speak freely, I told them everything I had been thinking and doing.

[No way!]

After that, I got scolded by the manager until well past bedtime.

I guess it’s not possible after all.
