A Thirty-Something Becomes a VTuber

Description

After quitting a toxic, overworking job on the brink of burnout, I, a thirty-something, somehow ended up becoming a VTuber named Kanzaka Rei under the virtual talent agency “UnderLive,” all thanks to my little sister’s persuasion.

“I don’t really get this VTuber thing, but I’ll give it my all!” I thought, brimming with enthusiasm. However, in the female-dominated world of UnderLive, just being a male VTuber gets me bashed by viewers.

To make matters worse, on just my second day, a fellow debutant causes a massive scandal, leading to their firing! Will this thirty-something VTuber, swarmed by haters, have any future at all!? …Well, it’s probably still better than working myself to death, right?

Reviewing because I read and liked it (and there's no other review??). I will apologize in advance since English is not my first language and my vocabulary is entirely from WNs.

So the story is good, the MC is a mid 20's who was overworked to almost death (not just burnout lmao) and has a dark past that is never explained fully (but we get enough along the story) and is healing in the Vtuber industry.

The chapters are half story and half reactions from the forum, so it can feel a... more>> little repetitive, but there are important things happening on the forum parts, not just reactions (although it is a major part). I personally didn't mind and found it enjoyable. Everyone in the story is a good person and the people feels like a second family to MC. It is interesting because he is high-spec but just can't succeed in live streaming.

The only thing holding it back is the translation. Until chapter 30 is okay, but suddenly entire sentences are being summarized into two/three words and it is virtually unintelligible. I MTLed everything and it was way better than the translation....

TL;DR: good slice of life, but horrible TL. <<less
