Chapter 352
Last night, after finishing the short test stream, I explained the plan I had come up with to Claire and Alice, then went to sleep.
To be honest, I never thought the stream would go well from the start. No matter how pretty or fitting someone is for a character, it’s not easy for viewer numbers to grow unless word of the stream spreads.
Besides, yesterday’s stream didn’t even have proper lighting—it was just me turning on the smartphone camera and winging it. With no setup, people weren’t likely to gather. Even a pretty person doesn’t look great on camera without lighting.
But still, the number of people who came into our room yesterday hit double digits. And the first digit wasn’t a one.
After the stream ended, I looked it up and found that screenshots of the three of us had been posted online.
It was in that gallery I used to browse often in this world. It made sense—people who liked Azerna Chronicles would naturally be there. Judging by the posts, it looked like the viewers had come after seeing those screenshots.
For a moment, I considered logging into the account I used to use here and revealing, “I’m the one who did that stream.” But that seemed risky in too many ways.
That gallery forbids socializing. I was a well-known fixed-nickname user, but if I used that as a way to promote my stream, people would jump at the chance to mob me. On top of that, I had stirred up quite a bit of drama under that nickname before.
Now that my identity had conveniently been reset, there was no need to drag out my dark history just to get a tiny bit of promotion.
Second, I saw potential.
It was just once, but someone had actually donated during that short stream.
Donations in online streaming are generally meant to get the streamer’s attention. So if we keep doing cosplay—well, to be precise, it wasn’t cosplay but just us being ourselves—then with some effort, it could help with our financial situation.
