[Wow… This decision is absolutely insane.]

[Even watching this again, Lene is incredibly smart at the game.]

[Just now, did you notice how she slightly pulled back?]

[Even now, if you look at the chat, there are a lot of people saying that going in would’ve been the right move.]

[No, it’s not like I’m just complimenting her because she’s a streamer I like.]

[In PVP or AOS games, there’s this… unwritten rule, you could say. About when to engage and when it’s your turn to attack.]

[Lene clearly understands that perfectly.]

[Going in? Sure, she could’ve gained an advantage by engaging too.]

[About 99% chance she would’ve benefited. But pulling back was a decision that had a 100% guarantee.]

[…You think retreating because of a 1% risk is cowardly?]

[That 1% chance is what determines whether you win or lose.]

[That 1% is what separates S-tier players from Ex-tier players in PVP.]

[If Lene had gone in and the opponent successfully parried, what would’ve happened?]

[Or what if they used a skill like “Final Awakening” to counterattack?]

[The moment the opponent gains a turn, all the advantages she had would disappear.]

[And the opponent, being A-tier themselves, would obviously know how to capitalize on that.]

[You’re saying it’s meaningless to consider all these what-ifs?]

[Everyone, do you know what’s inherently unfair about NewD’s PVP system?]

[Unless you’re a streamer, you can’t even know what skills your opponent is using.]

[They show up with all kinds of skill combinations tailored to their style—how are you supposed to predict that?]

[That’s why, if you want to win, you have to make absolute, calculated decisions. Lene understands this.]

[…Am I being overly biased?]

[Okay, let me put it simply.]

[The difference between a good and a bad player in PVP is ridiculously easy to spot.]

[I’ve probably mentioned this on my streams a few times.]

[The fewer skills a player uses, the better they are.]

[Lene, how many skills did she use this game? Just two: acceleration at the start and crash to finish. That’s it.]

[I won’t say anything more. If you still think I’m being overly biased, fine, think that.]

[…I was already amazed watching her raid footage. I really want to face her in ranked soon.]

ᄋᄋ: Then what’s the point? She’s not even streaming these days. lololol

I’ll Become Lene When I Grow Up: Completely ridiculous, I’m so mad.

Loo: Yep~ She’ll just spend her time playing NewD alone~~~

Agh, Seriously: Why isn’t she streaming during such a perfect time to attract new viewers?

└ I’ll Become Lene When I Grow Up: Because if you watch NewD streams these days, everyone’s just talking about the gallery star; it’s wild.

└ Agh, Seriously: Probably because no other party has cleared Albion yet.

Loo: This isn’t just missing an opportunity—it’s like picking it up and throwing it into the trash.

Loo: Even just looking at the gallery, you can see how many new viewers there are, ugh.

[I mentioned this once on my second stream, but… I needed money.]

[No… But saying something like ‘I stream because I want to chat with you all~.’ feels a bit off, doesn’t it?

[I mean, I’m actually doing it to make money, so what?]

[Isn’t it actually more likable to just say it outright like this?]

[Honestly, she said from the very beginning of her streaming career that she was doing it for money, so did anyone really not expect her to run off once she hit the peak and cashed in? lololol.]

[Are there really any idiots out there who believe her when she says she’ll come back in a month? No way, right? lololol.]

[Surely not. lolol.]

Speaner: Isn’t this gallery managed by mods?
Dranadojeon: Of course, truth bombs always come from anonymous users. lol
ᄋᄋ: You can call it that.
: Damn, this place is really swarming with idiots.
Orasion: I think the mods who didn’t make the gallery star stream should apologize by buying us burgers. Big thumbs up if you agree. lol

Loo: I support this.

Loo: Total agreement.

Daguros♦: Why cut out the rest of the context and stir up drama, you jerk?

└ Author (oo): Does adding the rest of the context change that part? lol

└ Daguros◆: Shut your mouth.

└ Ailus: If she were really planning to run away, she wouldn’t even bother hanging out in this gallery, idiot.

The upstairs neighbor made these just now and told us to eat them while they’re warm.

So I ate them with their younger sibling, and they were delicious.

What did you all have for lunch today?

Sing a Song for Me: Do you think this gallery is your personal diary? Why are you posting like this, you brat?
└ Lancer: The crazy part is that this gallery actually belongs to this person…
└ Sing a Song for Me: …Ugh.
ᄋᄋ: Instead of writing nonsense like this, why don’t you just turn on a stream?
ᄋᄋ: Wow, huge thumbs up for this thread.
LunaticE: Seriously, what kind of situation makes someone take a month-long streaming break during such a critical time?
ᄋᄋ: The mods are openly stirring up drama in the gallery, and no one can stop them…

[Title: Went to the Gallery Star’s Fan Meeting ool]

I thought about it for a while, and since she’s playing NewD every day anyway, why not just go meet her in person?

So that’s exactly what I did.

Made a new character just to annoy her and went looking for her.

The goal was to tell her to start streaming again.

(Photo of a death message.jpg)

The moment I saw her in person, she immediately smashed my head. lolol.

But I still said everything I needed to say, so it felt great.

So seriously, I’m telling you nicely: start streaming again, you brat.

Ailus◆: One single downvote on this trending post!!!!!!

Ailus: Just!!! One person!!!!!!

└Lene◇: I didn’t press it.
Loo: Wow, is that so? Truly an amazing revelation ^^ you brat.
└ Lene◇: Please don’t swear.
└ Ailus◆: Nobody even said you pressed it, right? lol
Lene◇: Take the post down.
└ Lene◇: If you keep doing things like this as a mod, people are going to dislike you.
ᄂᄋᄋ: Nope~ not taking it down~
: If you’re upset, turn on a stream~
Orasion: I think I should make a secondary character and camp out too. lolol.
└ Lene◇: Please don’t do that.
Orasion: Nope, if you’re upset, turn on a stream~

A heretic has emerged among the fans.

But why?

I’ve been posting in the gallery every day because I thought people would be sad about the break.

I’m not sure about other streamers, but I doubt there are many who would take care of their fans like this, even during a break.

Even the reason for the break isn’t because I want to rest—it’s all for the sake of streaming.

But instead of being grateful, the fans are acting like this.

I really hope they reflect on their behavior.

…That said, the atmosphere in the gallery was unusual.

Looking at the posts, most fans were talking about making their own heretic characters, which was absurd.

The heretic fan I killed earlier turned out to be a gallery mod, and it seemed like this influenced the other fans.

It was just unfortunate to see this happening.

“Sigh…”

Is there no way to calm this situation down?

Streaming is not an option.

I’ve already announced that I’d be taking about a month off, and that can be seen as a sort of promise to the fans.

I already broke a promise once by streaming after saying I’d take a day off, so their trust in me must have decreased.

I can’t break my word twice in such a short period.

Even I, a shut-in, understand how important trust is in relationships.

If I start streaming now, people might think, Oh, this streamer doesn’t keep their promises!

Of course, I might face criticism for not streaming in the short term, but in the long run, this is undoubtedly the better choice.

“Hmm…”

Perhaps the best idea is to share more updates about my life?

In the end, what they want is to communicate with me.

If I post more frequently in the gallery and actively respond to comments, the fans would probably be thrilled.

“Hehe…”

Just imagining their joy made me smile.

So this is why people dream of becoming streamers.

Alright, starting today, instead of just posting once in the evening, I’ll split it into three posts—morning, noon, and evening.

With that perfect plan in mind, I stretched, and suddenly a notification from Mistcode rang in my ears.

[Tuni: Lene, are you really not going to stream?]
[Heretic Inquisitor: Yes.]

[Heretic Inquisitor: I don’t want to break my promise with the viewers.]
[Tuni: Excuse me?]

Perhaps moved by my determination to keep my promise with the viewers, Tuni didn’t say anything more.
