「NationwideSlaveShowoff: Wow, how many people just got kicked?」

...

「NationwideSlaveShowoff: No way. Am I the only one in this channel right now?」

...

「NationwideSlaveShowoff: No, that’s not it. There are plenty of people connected. Did it bug out because too many people got kicked? Are the other broadcast rooms like this too? I don’t really want to leave and check...」

「RetiredInMy20s: Ah, you crazy bastards, stop dumping so many stars, seriously lol」

「まつみん: Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Haah haah haah haah haah haah haah#!%$@#%」

「FullTimeJessica: What is wrong with Matsuming lol. She broke again the second she came back lol」

「PooDongDong: Matsuming has already gone to a better place...」

「storm224: Damn. One tongue-lock and he’s about to get rich. How many stars are getting shoved in?」

「UnderBlanketParkDanger: Right. They didn’t even have sex, but he’s humiliating the original old star whore. If the old guys saw this, they’d drop dead from rage.」

「GrandFerrol: Sex? Shakes head.」

「GrandFerrol: I never expected that from the start.」

「ProBacksoo: Yeah, fuck. I don’t even want to waste any more emotion on this. I’ll just eat whatever they give me. Fuck. They kissed today, so maybe they’ll have sex someday.」

「GrapesOfWrath: No, well, it’s not like I was still expecting anything at this point... but when she asked, “May I wait?” if he’d said, “No, you don’t need to wait,” then pushed the teary-eyed FBI agent onto the bed when she thought she’d been rejected right to the end, then said, “I was wrong. You don’t have to wait,” and took her before she could answer, that would have been incredible.」

「OldSpice: Uaaah. My ears are tingling just hearing that. You really know your stuff.」

「unitythroughzen: Sentient beings. If you abandon desire, you can reach nirvana.」

「TeacherAhn: Giving up makes things easier...」

「ProBacksoo: Dumbass roleplay.」

「NationalBreadDuty: Maybe all of this was planned? Maybe he had the big picture in mind, making the viewers thirsty as hell and then setting it all off at once to get stars.」

「NationwideSlaveShowoff: Whether it’s true or not, seeing him get this many stars for just this pisses me off. I was thinking of giving a little too, but other people already gave him a lot, so I don’t have to, right?」

「Wilma: Bullshit lol. What kind of dogshit mindset is that? What do other people giving have to do with you giving? Do other people live your life for you? Seriously unbelievable lol」

「NationwideSlaveShowoff: What, are you Han Gyeoul’s friend or something? Why are you suddenly so worked up? Dumbass.」

「BlackCat: Why do you humans fight so easily, meow? Stop fighting already, meow.」

「BlackCat: Even cats in heat are quieter than you, meow.」

...

「richdog: Ah, nice. That was a real milk-and-honey replay.」

「Saebom: I thought I was done, but I’m not. Why doesn’t this get old? I’m going to start from last night’s confession and run it a few more times.」

「100MillionDEBT: Whether it was the confession or the kiss, that had one of the most legendary moods out of any broadcast I’ve seen. A sip of water after three days? How high does your TOM grade have to be for dialogue like that to come out in a world setting that isn’t even S-grade, with no extra charge? Top 1%? Or 0.1%? Isn’t the gap way too huge compared to the wooden dolls in other star whores’ world settings? If I were Han Gyeoul, I would’ve just come.」

「Grade-9 Civil Servant: Honestly, I never expected something like this to happen in this channel. Loyalty, loyalty to Han Gyeoul. I will also look forward to sex from now on. No, please just do it. I’m getting dizzy. After kissing, sex is obviously next, isn’t it? T_T T_T」

「conservative_extremist: Tsk tsk tsk, look at these dogs and pigs trained by that bastard Fuckgyeoul.」

「conservative_extremist: How many sweet potatoes did you usually have to stuff down your throats to go crazy over just this much?」

「conservative_extremist: But I’m a dog-pig too, so I’ll go rewatch it. Bye」

「doomchitdoomchit: This is seriously... every time I watch stuff like this, it pisses me off so, so much, and I’m so, so jealous... I want to hurry up and die too... I need to crack my head open and pull out my brain as soon as possible... Getting to enjoy yourself however you want while making money too, with no taxes except the fee, that's a sweet deal, agreed?」

「Doochi: If you’re a talented bastard with insane Empathy like Han Gyeoul, agreed. But your way of talking is filthy, so not agreed. High chance your future is becoming a third-rate knockoff old star whore, agreed.」

「HellFlavor: Go in at F-grade, beg the viewer bros, fail at robbing Peter to pay Paul, crack open Pandora’s Box like crazy, get stuck with nothing but trash DLC, and then get confirmed for disposal. Go go」

「doomchitdoomchit: Fuck off, dumbasses.」

「Korean-AmericanAlliance: Characteristics of kids like this. 1. Doesn’t know he’s a dumbass.」

「AppGirl: 2. Gets mad when told.」

「100MillionDEBT: 3. Thinks everyone except him is a dumbass.」

「Mother: Children, stop now. Our child is crying... Friends should get along.」

「AekDda: lololololol」

「RetiredYouth: But seriously, why is this so good? I keep replaying it, and I still don’t get it.」

「RetiredYouth: Either way, it’s just a kiss, right? The synchronization rate is the same as other channels, but it’s incredibly thrilling and suffocating and... It’s hard to describe. Am I the only one feeling this?」

「storm224: 22222222.」

「storm224: I’ve seen celebrity packages coated in additional computational power that were way more heartrending than that, but I’m way more immersed in this one. Why?」

「Don’t_NickPun: Do you people really not know the reason? Not as a joke?」

「RetiredYouth: Look at this fucking Confucian prick getting ready to act like he knows everything again.」

「Don’t_NickPun: ...Fine. Live like that forever.」

「StraightFacts: This kind of feeling is the romance of the old days. Something you can’t find now.」

「conservative_extremist: Romance of the old age, my ass. I guarantee it, this is just a fantasy possible because it’s Virtual Reality.」

「conservative_extremist: Don’t you remember? There was a line that nailed it in that DLC ad before.」

「OldSpice: What ad are you talking about? There are so damn many ads.」

「conservative_extremist: You know, that one. Was it the polyamory pack? The mental interference DLC that corrects cheating.」

「RetiredInMy20s: Ahh, that one lol. I get what that asshole is saying.」

「HellExpert: What was it, true love is a kind of mental illness or something?」

「OldSpice: Yeah, yeah. It wasn’t exactly that, but I think it was roughly similar.」

「NitrogenPack: Looks like mental illness to me too. They’re just going crazy in a pretty way. They say crazy people are happy too. Normal people like us can’t do that. Ha, this feels pointlessly serious, but like some roleplay freak said before, we’re not happy pigs. We’re unhappy humans.」

「HellExpert: lololol Han Gyeoul, that bastard, must be happy because he’s a happy pig.」

「conservative_extremist: You can tell at a glance he’s not sane lol. It’s fun to watch because his head is full of flowers.」

「Don’t_NickPun: You people are seriously severe cases.」

「MorningChamIsul: Ah, I want to go crazy too. I want to be happy, even if I have to go crazy.」

「MorningChamIsul: So from now on, I’ve decided to love Joanna Gibson.」

「BlackBroZack: What are you even saying lololol. Keep that up and you’ll end up like KILL lololol」

「MorningChamIsul: KILL?」

「BlackBroZack: There’s someone called KILL who’s obsessed with Lee Yura. lolol. They begged and begged with quests to get her to sleep with them just once, but it didn’t work, so they said they’d go visit her in person. I don’t know if they’re here right now.」

「KILL: I am.」

「FullTimeJessica: Oh, KILL. Are you okay right now?」

「KILL: With what?」

「IngrownToenail: That bastard Fuckgyeoul ignored every last one of your quests all this time, and now he went and smashed lips with another woman. This is what you call viewer humiliation. lololol. It must be even worse for you, right? Did you really even go visit her?」

「KILL: I did...」

「conservative_extremist: For real? lololol. You crazy son of a bitch lololololol. I wondered, but you actually went there lololol. You shameless son of a bitch lololololol. To the ossuary, where people say they wouldn’t go even if their parents died lololol」

「KILL: ...」

「IngrownToenail: Don’t even need to ask how it went lololol, considering how Han Gyeoul acts lololol」

「KILL: ...I don’t know. I don’t want to talk about it. She’s pitiful, and I’m pitiful too.」

「KILL: I don’t know what to do. I can’t think at all, and it’s hard, and I feel stuffed up, and everything is just annoying. I keep crying. You people annoy me. Why is the world like this?」

[KILL has gifted 10,000 stars.]

「FullTimeJessica: Huh... You did this before too... Didn’t you say you had no money?」

「AekDda: KILL brother, if you won the lottery, let’s help the poor. I’m the poor.」

「TeamLeaderKimMi-young: Loan consultations available.^^ First month interest-free, simple credit check. We also welcome the last loan you take when you want to settle your life.^^ Even if you die without paying it back, we’ll sell your body and recover the cost.^^」

「AekDda: I’ve felt this for a while, but I don’t think TeamLeaderKim is roleplaying...」

「lemonade: If you have a decent amount of money put into Afterlife Insurance and you’re over the minimum coverage age, even a body-secured loan is worth considering. If it goes well, your grade goes up, and even if it doesn’t, you’ll get enough for a few DLCs. If even one filmography package remains, that’s huge profit.」

「YeminROCK: Hey. Isn’t it better to delay the coverage start age as much as you can?」

「lemonade: That’s why I said the premise was that you have a decent amount of money put in. Can’t read?」

「OpusHomme: Well, it’s a meaningless story for most dirt-spoon or bronze-spoon people.」

「storm224: It would be in an awkward middle ground. The ones looking for natural hearts and kidneys would be kind of rich, and the sellers would be kind of broke.」

「storm224: Masters with money rotting in piles wouldn’t have any reason to use natural organs.」

「Doochi: You don’t know that. Maybe the situation is urgent and they didn’t prepare a clone body in advance, or they’re a huge cheapskate and want to use a relatively cheap natural one, or there’s some other reason...」

「richdog: Come to think of it, there was a rumor going around that Hyeseong Group Chairman Go Geon-cheol had a whole-body transplantation. Is that true? I heard it wasn’t even his own clone body.」

「Saebom: No idea. How would we know about things happening up in the heavens?」

「activeXfuckoff: I’m curious whether that person even exists. If you’re the richest man in the world, isn’t it hard not to appear on broadcasts? I’ve never seen him once.」

「MagnaCarta: This is hearsay, but apparently he doesn’t even look in mirrors much. lol」

「Meussiel: You people shut up for a second. There’s a much more important problem. Joanna Gibson, who as of today became our wish instead of unification. If we let her go like this, isn’t that just the end?」

「AntiClique: Probably. Considering Gyeoul’s personality, and there’s no guarantee he’ll even be alive by then.」

「conservative_extremist: Isn’t there also a chance Anne, this bitch, does the horizontal tango with another man? lol. I’m telling you, there’s no such thing as unchanging love. And this is a world setting where you never know when you’ll die.」

「MorningChamIsul: Ah, fuck, now I imagined it. I’m pissed just imagining it.」

「FullTimeJessica: Han Gyeoul’s TOM isn’t normal, so you never know.」

「Meussiel: Honestly, it’s such a huge shame. When her tongue came in, it really felt amazing... The breathless atmosphere when she clutched Han Gyeoul’s head and clung to him for dear life, kh-」

「Saebom: The expression like she might die at any second, kh-」

「NationwideSlaveShowoff: The tears welling in her eyes, kh- The scent from her hair, kh-」

「FrankSausage: The sound of breathing you heard through the body, kh- The heartbeat pounding beyond the clothes, kh-」

「Meussiel: Wow, our dumbasses even have great teamwork lololol. You’re writing full-on reviews now lololol. Since it came up, should I set a quest for the first time in a while? Before the broadcast ends.」

<<SYSTEM MESSAGE: A viewer quest has been assigned by Meussiel.>>

『Viewer Quest: If You are a Man, Go for Broke.』

『AI Help: The objective of this quest is for user registration number B-612, Han Gyeoul, to enter a romantic relationship with Joanna Gibson. When the objective is achieved, 1,000 stars will be given to the world setting host...』

<<SYSTEM MESSAGE: Han Gyeoul (Host) has rejected Meussiel’s viewer quest.>>

「Meussiel: As expected... He cuts it down sharp as a knife. That’s our Han Gyeoul!」

============================ Author’s Note ============================

#Misunderstanding

As I answered once before, this novel needs to continue for at least another 100 chapters.

The previous chapter’s Author’s Note meant that romance can be added, but the problem is that it would be added near the ending.

In other words, the ending is still far away. Unfortunately... T_T

By the way, it has been a while since the comments went over 100.

The truth is, it’s not that I don’t write romance. It’s that I can’t.

From the confession two chapters ago to last chapter’s kiss scene, my fingers ghostwrote it for me.

#Q&A

Q. Harurururu: @That reminds me of what the boot camp instructor said, that if it comes down to bayonet fighting, the guy with bullets left wins ^^

A. Correct. The gun is truly the king of all weapons. Ah, among weapons a person can carry, of course. Not things like the Davy Crockett...

Q. CharmingMan: @Hey, author, what’s this about the ending coming closer? No way, author, you bastard, are you going to keep serializing or not!

A. I’ll keep going... Please spare me...

Q. Bug: @Kiss!!! First kiss!!!! The first kiss in the novel!!!! Romance with artificial intelligence!

A. I’ve shown enough at this point, so there won’t be any for a while.

Q. CurryRice: @Even if the other person is a virtual personality, I really want to see Gyeoul get married, have kids, and live a happy family life.

A. This novel will end with a happy ending no matter what. You’ll probably be satisfied.

Q. Eeiko: @Author, you write romance well too... I’m leaving in awe after that last Anne scene.

A. Thank you for viewing it favorably. It was a scene where I tried to pare down the description as much as possible.

Q. Love^^: @I think I can see one Japanese person fainting in the comment section. A jealous fox too...

A. Matsuming is... as you saw. Fox does not come in often.

Q. BulgomKeuwang: @Do you have a new work? Should I look for it...

A. As if I’d have a new work... ^^;

Q. kalba: @I think you showed more than enough! Spreading the romance line too much isn’t great either! lol

A. I think so too. For the time being, back to normal... haha.

Q. StarlightSlash: @Ah, they say tragic romances stay in memory the longest, right?? Like Shakespeare’s works.

A. This novel will really, really end with a happy ending. Believe me.

Q. FlowerStreamI: @There are only up to 2 volumes in print. Up to what chapter is included? You’ll release the books all the way to the ending, right??

A. Volume 2 covers up to the first half of chapter 78, up to Plucking Stars from the Sky. They say Volume 3 is at the cover illustration stage right now. It will come out in print until the ending, so don’t worry. If that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t have signed the contract even while lowering my revenue share.

Q. KimGat: @I bought the print book to replenish even a little bit of the author’s depleted childlike innocence. I. Like. Au. Thor!

A. Thank you for your support.
