BTOG 251 – Long time no stream

October 26, 2022

It’s been a long time since I last started a new Arc, which is why this chapter also served as a rehabilitation session for me.

I’ll take it easy.

“First, good morning in the morning.”

“Well, I mean… I was expecting many people would be there, and I was trying to make it funny, and it turns out like that.”

“let’s see… about 300,000 people are in the chat, and I saw someone typing ‘flat’ just now? Let me warn you, the current me can read all the comments now, no matter how fast they flow!”

< I’ve been exposed.>

< I’m sorry.>

<↑geh>

Even before I started the stream, about 100,000 people were waiting, so I was made to feel like I needed to do something if I was going to keep this many people waiting…

I was wondering what I should do while being worried about it, but it turned out to be a very uneventful start.

And after I started, the number of participants increased even more, and it still keeps increasing.
I can only look at the ever-increasing number of viewers with an amazement.

Currently, the number of viewers has already exceeded 300,000.

Rin-chan said, [It’s the first time curiosity, so you might be able to see about 500,000 viewers this time].
The comment section, which would normally require only one comment box, was divided into four sections this time, and even after doing so, the comments flowed at a dizzying pace.

“I think most of you are new to my stream, so let me start by introducing myself again.
I’m Nana, a member of the VR division of HEROES.
I go by the player name Sukuna in this game.
I don’t care which you call me, but it would be helpful to be consistent and call me Sukuna when I’m playing this game because NPCs will also call me Sukuna.”

It’s refreshing.>

There’s a reason why I start with a simple greeting.
The reason itself is simple: everyone here knows about Nana but hardly knows about Sukuna.

Did you come here after seeing the punching machine video, which is still going viral? Did you see the video distributed the night before? Did you come across anything related to me from Zero Wars? Maybe you saw my name on the front page of the SNS highlight page? It’s also possible that you recognize me from TV news (I only found out this morning that I was on TV news) or from a guide site…? Whatever the case may be, nearly 90% of my current viewers are either new or have only seen my collaboration with Rin-chan.

And only a few viewers who were really curious and bothered to check out my past videos would even know that I’m mainly active on [WorldLive-ONLINE].

The new WLO update will allow new players to enter its world in large numbers, with no limit on the game’s population.

Initially, WLO was a small game with only 100,000 players, so the average number of viewers who played the game was low.
Even Rin-chan, who consistently draws close to 200,000 people in her chat, only drew a few tens of thousands of players; needless to say, my viewers are even less significant than hers.

And inevitably, all the new viewers do not know that “me playing WLO,” so first of all, I need to let them know about this game.

Well, however, I don’t think it is necessary to explain it from scratch.
It is a standard online game in a fantasy world, after all.

“I’m sure all of you are new to this game today, so I’m going to go around, and there’s no need to comment [it’s my first time here].
Wait a minute, Oh right, let’s put a message around here that says, [No first-time comments are needed]…”
