NOVEL WEB Chapter 502
After the screening.
“Are we all heading out now?”
“It’s a bit disappointing… how about we do a post-broadcast together?”
“That sounds good!”
Since we were all gathered, the suggestion to do a concert review broadcast came up.
Well, we could do it this time and each do our own next time, but…
“Can I handle that?”
Can I really manage it? The Credits drama just started airing!
“Ah.”
“Oops.”
“Uh, right?”
The members all seemed to imagine how I would react to broadcasting in my current state and were all taken aback.
“Still, let’s do it together!”
“Yeah, we have some time now.”
“…No thanks. It’s something I need to bear.”
I certainly can’t ruin the mood if everyone is getting all sentimental with their comments.
“I’ll do it right away, so you can go after.”
The others said that with the resolve to shoulder it all.
Well, most of the people coming in were from Miro’s group anyway.
“Right….”
“Hang in there, Soo-hyun!”
“The drama was really fun!”
“Yeah, yeah, I’ll definitely watch it all.”
And just like that, the suggestion for a group review broadcast was promptly canceled, and everyone headed home.
I also took a taxi to head back.
For a moment, I thought about checking the community, but quickly dropped the idea.
Since it would just be the same reactions when I go live anyway.
To ease my mind, I finished watching Episode 2 of Credits.
It was really fun, I tell you.
Unexpectedly, I doubt there will be a rush of viewers for the drama today.
I’ll just watch the drama today, and maybe tomorrow will be the time for viewers to come.
Anyway, I arrived home afterward.
“Haah.”
I changed into comfy pajamas and went into the soundproof booth.
Since I had to do the review broadcast right away, I started with the broadcast setup.
– Where the hell are you?
– Hurry, open the door!
– Holding my breath until Miro gets here.
The chat was already filling up quickly.
Everyone must have assumed I would come in right after the concert.
…I thought about crushing that expectation and going live in the morning, but that would just disperse it across the other members’ broadcasts.
With the mindset of a jigsaw puzzle, I turned on the broadcast.
“I’m here.”
– Wow, it’s a celebrity, haha!
– Spill the drama reviews!
– I enjoyed the concert!
– The goods are lacking, damn it!
– Why the long hair in the drama?!
– Let’s go for the Credits screening!
As soon as the broadcast started, the chaotic chat filled up.
Yeah, this was exactly what I expected.
“Alright, everyone, what are you all talking about?”
– You know what, haha!
– Same old WWE.
– Didn’t you say there would be a lot of goods, damn it?!
Moreover, there were surprisingly many chats related to goods.
There must be a lot of people who couldn’t buy them.
“Well, we did release quite a bit of goods, but… they ran out.”
– Is that a lot?
– If you released plenty, then there should be stock left, right?
– Aww.
It was true that the goods sold out pretty quickly.
In fact, the number of viewers for the live concert was beyond our expectations.
“The Moon Blade sold out too! I’m moved.”
– Moved or not, damn it!
– I couldn’t buy it!!
– That price was insane, like, seriously??
“Haha… it was a bit pricey, right?”
It was worth that reaction.
Still, they should understand the cost.
The original price was already quite high.
Plus, when you add the labor costs of all the Six’s staff and my royalties, it couldn’t be cheap.
“I’ll consider doing a giveaway when the opportunity arises.”
There will still be opportunities to get them.
For one thing, I asked The Six to set aside a few.
I was worried that the Moon Blade’s price was too steep, but they kindly agreed.
– Really??
– The Moon Blade?
– You’re actually doing that?
“Of course, as a prize. I can’t just give it away because it’s worth a lot, you know?”
Thinking about it, it might indeed be excessive to put it up as a prize, but…
Then, we could hold a grand event.
Big prizes always come with big events.
– For real, right?
– No backing down.
“Yeah, yeah, but now let’s talk about the concert.”
Although the goods had everyone’s minds wandering a bit,
Still, since this is a concert review broadcast, we should discuss the concert, right?
“How was it? It was fun, right?”
– For real, it was amazing.
– Time flew by so quickly;
– There were so many viewers, haha!

If I couldn’t watch the concert because I was watching Credits, that would be a huge fail, haha.
Oh, my.
Given that they instantly switched back to talking about goods, I was a bit surprised.
– Hahaha!
– Seriously.
– I just came from that, haha!
– The drama was ridiculously fun though.
These guys really have no blood or tears.
In other broadcasts, everyone would probably be hugging each other, but here, it seems everyone is just focused on T?
Even during a concert review broadcast, there’s no sentiment; they are only energized and swirling with excitement about Credits.
They must have had the chat restriction set pretty tight already, yet this level of energy is wild.
I don’t even want to imagine what would happen if they were freely chatting.
“Is the new drama that fun?”
– Yep!
– It’s seriously fun.
– The scale is crazy.
– Can Jisoo do a live together?
Look at this, just a little bait and the chat explodes.
On a normal day, I would have let it go, but…
Today is, unfortunately, a concert review broadcast.
“I thought it was fun too. But it’s new, right? Talking about the drama could be spoiling it, so if you mention it, you’ll get banned.”
Not because I wanted to avoid mentioning Jisoo, but rather because spoiling the latest drama could lead to bans.
Mhm, it’s truly a reasonable rule.
In my broadcasts, most chatters are usually chaotic, but the ones chatting right now have likely followed for at least ten months and are subscribing at a similar rate.
– Ehh.
– Yikes.
– Isn’t banning a bit cowardly??
– For real, let’s keep this reasonable.
I guess I can accept being kicked for having some rental issues, but getting banned is a serious penalty, so it gets squashed immediately.
…Sigh, I usually don’t go this far.
But with all the recent reviews to discuss, what choice do I have?
If I don’t keep it in check, it could stir up some feelings of rebellion and ruin Miro’s broadcast atmosphere.
It’s a super extreme move that can only be used when I can’t discipline with Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
“Now then, shall we enjoy talking about the concert? Aren’t you curious about the behind-the-scenes?”
– I am curious;;
– Can we not know about the other behind-the-scenes?
– But when did you start practicing?
“Ah, we’ve been preparing for quite a while. I guess I have to explain that now.”
Anyway.
I just prevented discussing the drama, so I explained the whole behind-the-scenes process.
“When we practiced… ”
I shared the story of the first gathering at The Six Headquarters.
As I explained the whole process we went through while practicing, the viewers seemed quite surprised.
[Thank you, Anonymous for the 1,000 won donation!]
Does this guy live life twice?
– For real.
– What’s up with this guy??
– Seriously, how does he manage it? Hahaha.
Since they already knew about my entertainment activities, I guess the fact that I managed to find time surprised them.
…Surprisingly, my schedule is indeed brutal.
Doing all that and still going live must have been possible only because I don’t have any special hobbies.
“So I’m considering taking it a bit easier next year.”
– I see.
– Yes, take it easy.
– Then you’ll probably go live more, right?
“Well, I meant I’d take it easy with my broadcasts.”
– ?????
– What do you mean?
– I.
– Relax.
– No way, you need to go live five times a week at least!
“Isn’t five times a bit much?”
This time, the Credits release seems a bit intense.
Considering the filming for Season 2 next year and all the variety shows and advertisements lined up…
“I’ll aim for four times a week.”
Yeah, even at most, it seems like four times a week is my limit.
– You should totally do five times.
– Aah.
– Four times is fine too;;
– Just don’t take long breaks, please.
“Ah, that won’t happen.”
Have I ever taken long breaks since I started broadcasting?
Thinking about it, I usually made time to go live.
Perhaps this diligence is a quality of Buhwang?
If I weren’t acting, I might have gone live seven times a week.
Anyway.
“Now that I’ve shared everything, shall we go check out other broadcasts?”
I shared the behind-the-scenes of the concert, and since talking about goods will just get me poured with complaints from those who couldn’t buy them…
I was thinking of heading over to see what other broadcasts were up.
– Let’s go, let’s go!
– They’re all crying, hahaha!
– Everyone probably shed tears over there!
“Is that so?”
They’re all crying?
Sounds like it could be funny!
Filled with anticipation, I entered Dwitch.
From the top-ranked channels, I saw members from the Celestial Realm flooding the place.
“Oh….”
– Wow, hahaha!
– Dwitch really blew up, huh, haha!
– How many people are even here?
From the first generation to the fourth generation.
Except for a few, they all started their review broadcasts to climb the ranks.
This is seriously wild.
After seeing the viewer count for the live concert, I had a rough idea, but seeing it like this is just overwhelming.
“Let’s start from the top.”
Well, for now.
I clicked on Anna’s broadcast first since, aside from me, she had the highest number of viewers.
[Thanks to you all… *sniffle*]
…She was crying before it ended, and now her voice was filled with moisture.
– Hahaha!
– Anna, nooo!
– At that age, you shouldn’t be crying, go away, hahaha!
– Miro should sob a bit too.
“I have no tears left.”
To be honest, I can understand her tears, but I can’t really relate.
Isn’t it a happy occasion after the concert?
So why cry?
“Shall we check out the junior’s broadcast next?”
After Anna, I checked out other broadcasts, but they all had watery eyes.
“Is today the Celestial Realm’s funeral?”
– It’s a festival, isn’t it? Hahaha!
– Seriously, funeral nonsense.
– Is there any member not crying?
What a bewildering sight seeing everyone crying on such a good day.
I know it’s tears of joy, but with everyone crying like the chat suggests, it’s a bit alarming.
“Hmm… there should be a member not crying.”
Surely, there’d be someone maintaining their composure.
I briefly thought of which members would be able to keep their cool like me.
“To begin, Roa probably isn’t crying.”
– Roa’s not one to easily shed tears, haha!
– She’s probably happily collecting her dues.
Roa probably wouldn’t cry.
Even when we said goodbye earlier, she didn’t change her expression much.
“And I would think Rain wouldn’t be crying either.”
– For real.
– Rain won’t cry, haha!
– I bet Rain might cry.
– Shall we find out?
Rain doesn’t strike me as the type who would cry.
…Unlike when I first saw her, now she has this image of being a cool-headed political, economic, and current affairs VTuber.
I wonder how that elegant junior turned out to be like this.
“Let’s check on everyone.”
Instead, I think I should investigate the tears of the Celestial Realm members while I’m at it.
– Let’s go, let’s go!
– This guy’s hilarious, haha!
– You should cry a bit too, damn it!
