Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 74, Section 72: Shimamura Yuna Arrives
To put it bluntly, for Taiwanese netizens, their impression of Yuna Shimamura is completely new, no matter what.

If Shimamura Yuna is good-looking, then she's a completely new and unfamiliar beautiful girl.

If Shimamura Yuna wasn't good-looking, then she would be a completely new ugly woman, someone I didn't recognize.

But for many viewers on the mainland, it's not the case.

They were actually quite familiar with Shimamura Yuna.

Understand her playing style, understand the personality she presents on the surface, and know what her voice is like.
I used to know when she went live each day. Oh, wait, I don't know that anymore, because she hasn't gone live for a long time.

In short, they were relatively familiar with Shimamura Yuna, or at least had a relatively stable set of stereotypes about her.

Because Shimamura Yuna initially appeared in a cloak, people's perception of her appearance was limited.
I can only say that I don't have high hopes.

As the Dragon God said, whether a costumed character looks good or not is all a matter of luck, isn't it?

After all, there are so many women in the world.

The proportion of good-looking costumed characters is about the same as randomly picking one out of a vast number of women; the probability of that person being ugly is also very high.

Not to mention, people who are even slightly attractive in costume usually have to sneakily release a photo to let the audience know what they look like.

Even if someone isn't particularly good-looking and is quite ordinary, but has a good figure, fair skin, and beautiful hands, they should still be featured on cooking shows, only showing their delicate hands cooking, to give people some room for imagination.

Ultimately, these physical advantages are objectively usable.

Many VTUBER viewers say they hate the fabrication and prefer the virtual feel.

However, in terms of results, when good-looking people expose their flaws, it increases their popularity and discussion, while when ugly people expose their flaws, it has a negative effect.

This prevailing public opinion against tearing each other apart is, to a large extent, a form of protection for some Vtubers who are not particularly good-looking.

After all, we agreed that virtual streamers don't need good looks, just interesting personalities.

As a result, you all became virtual YouTubers, but you're still just pretending to be people. What are we girls who actually became virtual YouTubers because we're ugly supposed to do?
This is completely unfair competition.

in fact
Good-looking people can attract more viewers if their real photos are accidentally revealed.

It cannot be ruled out that some people are actually very good-looking, but simply prefer the virtual world, or are restricted by external factors such as contracts from showing their faces.

But these are a minority.

If such a simple and easy way can attract viewers, why are you unwilling to use it?

If a VTuber consistently avoids hinting at their appearance, or dislikes discussing their real life, and is extremely averse to even the slightest display of their face...
So what do you actually look like? Everyone already has an answer in their hearts.

Fans always say, "I don't care what you look like, as long as you have an interesting personality."

However, if a girl who isn't particularly attractive accidentally posts a photo of herself, her fans might say things like, "I only care about how interesting you are," but they'd likely find it hard to accept.

In short, because Shimamura Yuna had not revealed any information about her real situation beforehand, and because Ryujin's side was stirring up trouble at the time by saying that "female streamers who like to use fake identities are all ugly."

Therefore, everyone's expectations for her appearance were actually quite low.

Now, looking at it this way...
[Holy crap, Yuna is so pretty???]

【Gui Gui, you're so different from what I imagined. I did think you might be pretty, but I didn't expect you to be such a young girl.】

This looks really small, like a middle school student who just gave birth.

[My goodness, the thought of this little kid doing live streams for us every day makes me feel so mysterious.] [Whose kid is this?]

[Here's a funny story: look at this – her real name is Shimamura Yuna. Her previous online ID was Yuna, and her current pro player name is Shimamura. The former is the pronunciation of Yuna, and the latter is the pronunciation of her surname, Shimamura.]

[Who was the first person to use their real name for internet access?]

Everything about Yuna is genuine.

[Yuna-nee? Yuna-nee!]

With the appearance of Yuna Shimamura, all the dissatisfaction her fans had with her live streams seemed to vanish instantly.

What does it mean to stop broadcasting inexplicably for a long time?

I took leave! Even though I took leave, some of you keep babbling on and on!

I said I wouldn't be doing any live streams for a while, something came up.

So if something's wrong, then something's wrong. What does "running away" even mean?

What does it mean to disregard the audience and not consider their feelings?
Yuna's goal is to play professionally, so isn't it normal that she doesn't care as much about the audience?
When you're ready to compete, how can you still be thinking about doing live streaming every day?

Do you know what it means to have a dream?
Why are you people forcing Yuna to do a live stream for you?
There were even some people who initially thought Shimamura Yuna might not be good-looking, so they didn't even consider her.

Now they've all gone completely insane.

The buzz surrounding this matter spread rapidly beyond the circle of people.

Before this, Shimamura Yuna was already a streamer with considerable popularity in a small circle in mainland China.

At this moment, as soon as her official photos were released, her popularity quickly spread to the point that various short videos on Douyin and marketing accounts were frantically forwarding them.

You can refer to Mayumi's previous popularity in China.
These kinds of female contestants are very likely to attract everyone's attention.

Moreover, to be honest, Mayumi is only moderately cute, her gaming skills are not very good, and she plays the rather stereotypical support role.

Yuna Shimamura's appearance, gaming skills, even the position she plays, and even her nationality...
She has more advantages than Mayumi.

And she really can speak Chinese and can actually communicate with the audience.

The hype surrounding it would naturally be far more exaggerated than that of Mayumi at the time, perhaps even several times more exaggerated.

Many ordinary people who previously knew little about Yuna Shimamura were now frantically searching for information about her.

CFO, Oni-no-Ou Yuna, Shimamura Yuna, Shimamura.

All of these keywords became trending topics on major platforms that day.

Meanwhile, some of Shimamura Yuna's fans went to her comment section to make fun of her, saying things like "Shimamura Yuna, hurry up and start broadcasting, don't hide it from me" and "Shimamura Yuna, hurry up and come out."

It's like everyone thinks it's interesting to know Shimamura Yuna's real name.

Amidst this lively and joyful atmosphere, only one person truly broke down in today's media storm.

And this person is the Dragon God.
