I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 131 Let’s play first!

"No, no, they make handwritten videos. This is their first time making games, so they definitely can't beat us!"

Eguchi Yuna shook her head and comforted herself.

Fans on YouTube are all free users, and many of them are not game fans. There are probably not many people who spend 4000 yen to buy a galgame.

And in the final analysis, this work is still a shoddy product with only a prologue. Even if there are fans who will buy it, it will only increase sales by a few hundred copies.

The problem is not big.

She has absolute confidence in their work this time.

Shinichi Kojima: [You can just @ me and I'll reply, is that okay?]

【ok】

Eguchi Yuna replied to the message.

Then, he opened Twitter and posted the message.

Yuna: [We're planning a sales competition with the new club from this commercial. By the end of the commercial, the club with the highest sales will win. The winner can make a request to the other club that doesn't violate any laws or morals! @新基元社]

As a well-known figure in the circle, people often avoid her when they see her.

But as long as the fire doesn't burn themselves, everyone is still very excited about watching the fun.

[Wu! The industry's disciplinary committee member! She's starting a new group!]

Who's opening this time? Shinjigensha? Huh!?

Is this the same account that used to create animated handwriting on YouTube?

I was wondering how little they've updated in the last six months! Are they actually working on games? I think they're more suited to animation.

[This debut work is competing with the AS Club for sales, how interesting! I'm going to the CM tomorrow, so I'll buy a copy.]

[Haha, I think it would be best if the sales crashed, so they could just go back and update. What kind of gal game is this?! It has absolutely no future!]

[No matter what, I want to see rivers of blood.]

Looking at the comments that were updated quickly, Eguchi Yuna felt a little guilty.

Although this is the first time that New Dimension has entered the galgme field, it seems that there are still many fans in this circle and their stickiness is still very high.

It won't really flip over.
"Ultimately, it all comes down to the quality of the game. Even if you're exploiting fans, you can't do it without solid quality."

Eguchi Yuna shook her head. She still firmly believed that players would pay for quality!
It would be so unfair if a YouTuber could just casually make a game and kill off the producers who have worked so hard.

But then the message on her phone made her heart grow colder.

New Dimension: [The game we made is now on sale! ]

Below is a bunch of introductions, which is a normal promotional advertisement.

But why are the number of likes and comments so high?

Looking at the forwarded post again, he gasped: "Ah, it's Yukiko."

She is also an old fan of Yukiko, but now when she sees the news she suddenly forwarded, she feels a chill in her heart.

Yukiko: [Ah! By the way, I sang the theme song for this game! Please support me!]

Eguchi Yuna picked up the game CD in her hand and was stunned.

This work, which doesn't even have a main story, actually has a theme song, and it's about a new professional debut singer and internet celebrity like Yukiko?
She has more than 100 million fans.

There are also experts who forwarded it in the comment section.

Haruki Nagayama: [This game looks really fun, so don't play it. Instead, read my comics. They're so healing!]

"what?"

Isn’t this the internet celebrity “Beast” who is hailed as the strongest new cartoonist and has been on the hot search list many times this year?

How did they get together?
Wait, New Dimension seems to have done a handwritten version of his work, and he's also reposted it, which seems reasonable.
Sakura Vine Leaves: [Very interesting, everyone can take a look.]

Isn’t this the other rookie king whose fans and Haruki Nagayama’s fans argued over the title of “The Strongest New Manga Artist” and became a hot topic online?
How come the two of them are on the same side here?

Come to think of it, wasn't Yukiko the one who made the commentary video for "5 Centimeters per Second"?
It seems reasonable for him to promote the song she sang.
Oh, there is also a book artist who forwarded it.

He has fewer fans than them, but compared with the people mentioned above, he also has tens of thousands.

It’s almost the same as the number of fans of my own AS official account.

Oh, shit, his work is so perverted!
It's over. Why does this rhythm feel so wrong?

It was the cold end of December and there was still frost on the road outside, which was a nuisance to drivers, but Eguchi Yuna suddenly felt sweat pouring down her face.

She seemed to gradually understand why the organizers gave them such a good position.
Eguchi Yuna shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's play games for a while first."

You’ll know whether it’s a mule or a horse only after you actually play with it.

Thinking of this, Eguchi Yuna took out a pack of cookies from the cabinet and ate them to calm herself down while turning on the computer and opening the package.

There wasn't even a color print on the CD case, just a simple title.

"WHITE ALBUM: Introductory Chapter"

White album, prologue.

Looking at the conspicuous words "Prologue", Eguchi Yuna swallowed her saliva.

Despite so many people promoting it, it's just a prologue.

Even if it's rubbish, it should still have a chance of winning! When traffic comes, the work must be of high quality to sustain it.

This is the underlying logic.

It's like he needs to confirm that this work is really rubbish before he can feel at ease.

She bit a cookie while operating the mouse, opened the game, and widened her eyes, trying to find the flaws in this work.

For example, the packaging looks cheap.
Well, this actually doesn't affect the quality of the game that much.

“The illustrations are quite nice.”

Although Eguchi Yuna is already nitpicking and looking for flaws.

But seeing that Hanase Shion was practicing drawing every day, and the beautiful illustrations she created, she really couldn't criticize them. They were even more beautiful than her own drawings.
This story, which only has a prologue, has begun.

A boy named Kitahara Haruki was sitting in the classroom playing a song.

"The soundtrack is pretty nice. It's a video after all, and they hired a professional singer for the theme song."

Eguchi Yuna bit her lower lip. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the soundtrack.

At this time, the sound of piano accompaniment came from outside the classroom.

At this time, that person, who is unknown, would always play the piano and perform with him.

That person's playing skills were much better than Haruki's, who was a novice, but she always accompanied her without complaint.

"Ah, there's no doubt that the piano player is one of the concubines." Eguchi Yuna was about to complain that the plot was so predictable at first glance, it was a bit too cliché. But then she thought about it, this old-fashioned opening wasn't so bad. On the contrary, if you think about it carefully, playing together in this classroom is indeed quite artistic and romantic.

At this moment, the noise interrupted the two people's gradually tacit ensemble.

There's a quarrel in the light music section of the academy because the lead singer has quit their band and now the band is on the verge of disbanding.

The only way is to persuade Ogiso Setsuna, the academy's beauty pageant champion for two consecutive years, to be the lead singer, because I heard that she sings very well.

"The best of the best, a campus idol." Eguchi Yuna said angrily, deliberately trying to find fault with everything to comfort herself who was sweating profusely.

In fact, Setsuna Ogiso was also in distress.

Originally, she didn't want to participate in the so-called college beauty pageant, but her classmates signed her up.

But the organizers of the competition have been persuading her to participate, because if she doesn't participate, the competition will lose a lot of popularity.

The student council called in Haruki, who was always good at talking nonsense and meddling in other people's affairs, to help persuade Setsuna.

But after Haruki learned about the development of the situation, he encouraged Setsuna to follow her heart and rejected the student council's proposal.

Setsuna looked at Haruki's figure and showed an expression that said, "This man is really interesting."

"The best of the best, a gentle male protagonist." Eguchi Yuna continued to sneer.

But I couldn't help but keep playing.

Later, the male protagonist discovered that Setsuna was working in a store, but chose to remain silent.

"It's a classic example that only the hero knows the heroine's little secret." Eguchi Yuna continued her "strict" judgment.

A few days later, Haruki was carrying heavy objects for the school festival.

Xuecai took the initiative to go up and talk to her.

Compared to those who showed extra care for Setsuna, Haruki asked her to help him carry heavy objects.

"Classic of classics, it's a good thing there's someone who wrote this story, otherwise there would be no hope at all!"

Although Eguchi Yuna feels that a story like "I'm the only one who treats you as an ordinary girl" is actually not that bad.

But she had already started to get scared, so she would always use some prejudice to magnify all the problems that were not really problems in order to make herself feel at ease.

But despite the scolding, his hand still kept clicking obediently.

Although the beginning is cliché, she is still looking forward to the subsequent plot.

It's like, you know that after Xiao Yan's engagement is broken off, he will definitely go to Yunlan Mountain as agreed to shock those who looked down on him, but you will still keep watching, and even when you see a plot whose general direction you already knew, you get completely excited.

She is really looking forward to how the male lead will persuade and win over Xuecai.

Of course, the mysterious man who plays with the male lead also arouses great anticipation.

About half an hour later
"Hehe. Setsuna, my Setsuna."

Eguchi Yuna, who just scoffed at the clichéd story development.

He looked at Setsuna's portrait with a perverted smile.

In fact, there is nothing new in the plot.

Haruki invited Setsuna to be the lead singer of the band. Although Setsuna loved singing, she hesitated for a while and finally rejected Haruki.

But the reason why Haruki is the male protagonist is because he will not give up easily.

He came to the place where Setsuna worked.

Looking at Xuecai, who was wearing black-framed glasses and pigtails, although still pretty, but not as glamorous as her school attire, she invited them to talk again.

Setsuna was surprised why Haruki knew that she worked here.

Haruki said that he actually knew everything a year ago, but he thought Setsuna probably didn't want others to know, so he never told anyone.

Although it is a clichéd gentle character setting, this description is indeed quite accurate.

He is not the kind of male protagonist who is only labeled as "gentle".

After realizing that she had no secrets in front of Haruki, Setsuna put down her luggage and swung on the swing easily.

When the male protagonist decided to "give up" persuading Setsuna and was about to leave, Setsuna suddenly said.

"Please wait for me for an hour."

Then, the game interface appears.

This is a portrait of Setsuna who has been specially dressed up.

"Hey, she dressed up just for me."

Eguchi Yuna couldn't help but let out a nympho laugh.

Then he was startled and came to his senses.

Why? Whether it’s the gentle personality of the male protagonist, or the plot of him discovering a little secret and then being treated specially by the female protagonist, it should have been overused long ago.

But why do I still find it so funny and smile like an auntie?

From the creator's perspective, there is only one answer: the person who wrote the story behind the scenes has incredibly strong basic skills.

Even a clichéd defense plot can be turned into a beautiful piece of writing.

Is this really the first time you have worked in this industry with this level of ability?
Eguchi Yuna continued the story in a panic.

Next, Setsuna and Haruki went to karaoke to sing together.

"Hey, isn't this a date?"

Eguchi Yuna shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's not find fault for now. We'll talk about it later. Let's just have fun first."

So, at this moment, she had a smile on her face, and had completely gotten rid of the perspective of a "creator who deliberately finds fault", and looked at Xue Cai with an auntie smile.

By the way, the black-haired girl on the cover is also very pretty. Will there be any plot about her later?

Who should I choose? Sure enough, I'll choose Setsuna!

Oh, that’s not right. This work seems to only have a prologue, and the prologue has no plot lines.

Well, it seems there is no choice.

Never mind, just have fun first.

At this moment, Yuna Eguchi has not yet realized how serious and torturous a problem it is that she cannot choose the route.

. . . .

PS: I updated 6000 words after a long time. Since I have almost finished paying New Year’s greetings, I finally have time to write more in advance today.

I'm leaving for home tomorrow, so there might be a little less update tomorrow, but I should be able to resume my normal update rate after that! Love you guys!
