Gender Swap: The Introvert’s Broadcast
Chapter 168

Typically, replays don’t get many views, it’s the unspoken rule.

Even YouTubers with some level of popularity often get low views on their replays.

‘I didn’t watch live streams much before either.’

It’s unusual for someone to watch streams every day and even interact in the chat.

Thinking that, I checked the views on the replay.

“Uploaded seven hours ago, but...”

The total view count was 100,000.

That’s honestly absurd.

People who don’t often watch full-length YouTube videos might not think this is impressive, but to me, this was a huge success.

I checked the comments, still in disbelief.

L: Legendary collaboration GOAT ㅋㅋ

L: That was so damn fun, for real.

L: First time seeing Dam stream this long.

N: It’s not Dam, it’s Dugong, it’s not Dam, it’s Dugong, it’s not Dam, it’s Dugong, it’s not Dam, it’s Dugong.

N: Dugong is undeniable ㅋㅋ

L: 03:15:34 Dam’s legendary rage.

N: Hahahahahahahaha

N: You have to watch the whole thing to understand why he got so mad.

N: If you didn’t watch from the beginning, you won’t get it.

N: The buildup was insane.

L: Twispook’s skill in trolling even after reincarnation is no joke;;

N: Haha, for real.

N: I used to dislike Hoo-min, but now I kinda like him.

L: By the way, when did the full video channel get created?

N: I think the editor made it recently.

“…I think it was something I approved last time.”

Or was it?

Honestly, I wasn’t sure.

The YouTube management was all handled by Haehoo, so I didn’t really know much about it.

I just assumed it would be fine.

Since the income came in steadily, I didn’t feel the need to interfere.

‘I still want to meet him once.’

I really did want to meet Haehoo, but it seemed like he wasn’t that interested in meeting me.

It felt like he just wanted to keep editing behind the scenes.

I understood, though, since I had felt the same way before.

‘You meet people when you want to meet them.’

I wouldn’t force someone to meet me if they didn’t want to.

If he wanted to meet, he’d contact me first.

Thinking that, I made myself a cup of instant coffee and sat down in front of the computer.

Then, a little while later—

[The broadcast has started!]

I started the stream.

I had said I’d stream for ten hours a day yesterday.

‘I need to find a place to live.’

Last time, when I checked, I thought I could find a decent place within a month’s work.

It wasn’t as expensive as it used to be.

I thought to myself, What if I had bought Bitcoin back then? and checked the chat.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Hey hey]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: How long did you sleep, haha]

[You slept for so long, for real]

[What are you, a sleeping beauty?]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: You said you’d stream for ten hours a day]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Are you already late?]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: This is unbelievable]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: As soon as Twispook shows up, he's trolling, haha]

[No way, after being publicly embarrassed last time, why are you still trolling?]

[Just trying to troll, don’t mind me ㅇㅇ]

[Hwanhee: This is so funny, haha]

By the way, I had personally quit my cafe job.

The reason was simple—I told them I had something else I wanted to do.

The boss seemed a little disappointed but let me go easily.

Of course, I didn’t mention that I was streaming.

‘I’d be crazy to tell them I’m streaming.’

If they found out, they’d immediately search for my name and find all kinds of stuff about me on YouTube.

I didn’t want to take that risk.

Thinking that, I asked the viewers.

“By the way, guys, have you been enjoying my YouTube lately?”

That was my biggest curiosity.

I thought it was fun, but I wondered if the viewers felt the same way.

Even though Haehoo edits well, I couldn’t guarantee that the quality would stay consistent.

After asking—

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Comments are all about Haehoo]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: If you just look at the praises, you’d get it ㅋㅋ]

[The editor’s a god]

[If we compare it to a restaurant, it’s like a chef who used to make food from waste now making Michelin 3-star dishes with the finest ingredients]

[Good analogy]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: I don’t really keep up with YouTube]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: But I watch your YouTube all the time, haha]

[The AI editing halfway through was really impressive]

[It’s really good]

The responses were overwhelmingly positive.

It seemed like everyone was satisfied with the editing.

I was relieved.

It seemed like what I thought and what the viewers thought were in sync.

Then—

“By the way, the replay from yesterday had really good views, didn’t it? Honestly, I didn’t expect it to do that well.”

I also needed to mention the replay.

I knew Haehoo would handle it, but I still had to talk to the viewers.

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Oh, that]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: It was expected to do well]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: It was really fun, haha]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Someone really lost it, haha]

[Whoa, haha]

[Getting mad is definitely bb]

[Dugong, are you getting trolled by this???]

[No way, haha]

[Great Dugong]

[Dam might be trash, but Dugong never gets seriously mad, no slander please]

I checked the chat again, and sure enough, the topic of yesterday’s incident was already all over the community.

I had avoided going into the community on purpose, so I hadn’t known about it.

‘The broadcast’s getting bigger, and I don’t want to stir up controversy by going there.’

Maybe once the broadcast stabilizes, I’d think about joining the community.

For now, though, I didn’t want to do anything that could cause controversy.

Making money was more important right now.

‘I need to focus on moving first.’

With that in mind, I decided to take a break and eat something.

I hadn’t eaten yet, and I was really hungry.

“I’m going to eat now. I just woke up, and I’m starving.”

I was really hungry.

I felt like having something simple to eat.

So—

“I’m going to put on a random video for a bit, so just have fun. Don’t send anything weird. I’ll kick you out immediately if you do.”

If someone sent a weird video donation, I was ready to kick them out immediately.

It was important to keep the broadcast clean.

With that thought, I checked the chat again—

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Ah, shit]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Another weird video donation]

[Hah]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Hehehe, come here...]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: No weird videos, haha]

[The manager is doing great, haha]

[Hang in there, manager.. Thanks to you, I can watch this stream comfortably]

[What’s there to hang in there for? The manager is getting paid for this]

[For real, they’re getting paid, no need to cheer them on]

I could already see the usual trolls showing up.

But there was nothing I could do about it.

I needed to eat.

‘...Video donations are the best for this.’

For some reason, video donations were the most profitable.

Maybe because they had to pay based on the length of the video, people were more than willing to throw in money.

Thinking that, I made one last request.

“I’m going to make some ramen, so manage the chat until I’m back.”

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Hah]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Shut up]

[Hahahahahahaha]

[The manager’s so mad, haha]

[What are you going to do if the manager gets mad? Haha]

[Temporarily kicked!]

[What can you do besides watching weird stuff? Haha]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Hang in there, manager!]

I gave the manager one last reminder and went to the kitchen to boil water for the ramen.

It was a little awkward to call it a kitchen, though.

‘Put an egg in it…’

I love adding an egg to my ramen.

It makes the broth thicker, and it’s just so delicious.

After adding the egg, I finished cooking the ramen, put it in a bowl, and moved back to the monitor.

I was curious what kind of donation would pop up next.

With that thought, I checked the monitor—

I hate you for watching me~

“...Wow, that’s fresh.”

It was an unexpected video donation.

Really fresh.

But in a very bad way.

“This is just an animal, right?”

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Hahahahahaha]

[For real]

[Shit, don’t send this crap]

[This isn’t even furry, it’s just an animal, damn haha]

[This is just ridiculous]

[Look at the tail line, holy crap]

[That ass line is crazy, huh?]

[Right away, just—]

Temporarily kicked!

But there was nothing I could do.

For now, I had to live with it.
