I Became a Malicious Streamer

What’s the most important thing in singing?

Some might say hitting the right notes is crucial, while others might prioritize singing the lyrics on beat at the right timing. Some might argue that explosive vocal power, capable of producing any sound, is essential. Still, others might say that just having a beautiful voice that sounds nice is enough.

While some could harshly judge that one must possess all of the above, how often do you find such people? Those who have mastered all these elements are either performing as singers or at least working in the music industry.

Or, on rare occasions, they might be buried like a pearl in the mud, unaware of their own talent.

Mollru didn’t fit either category. It would be a lie to say she didn’t have any expectations when she first went to a karaoke bar after becoming this body. Truth be told, she thought maybe she had singing skills at the level of a professional singer.

Aside from lacking stamina, she was naturally talented in many areas, so one could wonder if she had any talent for singing.

The result was… She did have talent. Just slightly better than the average person — the kind of voice that would make you think, “Hey, that person over there can sing well,” from the room next door. Given her voice, it was only natural that she wouldn’t sound tone-deaf or pitchy.

And with such skill…

It was at least enough to captivate the souls of the viewers who came to hear her sing.

[Mollru! Mollru! Mollru! Mollru! Mollru!]

[Wow, kya-pya]

[Is she a goddess? Is she a goddess? Is she a goddess? Is she a goddess? Is she a goddess? Is she a goddess?]

[My ears are melting…]

[What a voice…]

[I knew she’d sing well since the first time I saw her]

[If she were tone-deaf, that would’ve been hilarious, though, lol]

“I’m sorry, please forget me and live well…”

Her voice, singing a heartfelt male ballad, was filled with deep emotion. It was a song about parting with a beloved woman and reflecting on one’s mistakes and regrets during the relationship.

The song wasn’t particularly high, and since Mollru was a woman, it wasn’t a stretch to sing it completely. However, it could be said that above all, the emotion was what mattered most.

If sung poorly, it might be criticized as just a drunken song for wallowing in sorrow, but Mollru successfully conveyed the painful love unique to men, in line with the original artist’s intent.

When the last note ended, applause erupted.

[Kya]

[This is it]

[Makes me want to go karaoke]

[I love it so much, unnie ㅠㅠ]

[I’ve opened a bottle of soju ㅇㅇ I can’t resist this]

[Even monks can’t resist this]

[Singing deliciously; other women I’ve seen covering this on YouTube had no flavor]

[The voice is feminine, so why does it feel like the loneliness and solitude of a male?]

[Forreal, this sounds like a song to sing while gulping down two bottles of soju and puffing on a cigarette thinking about an ex]

[Not quite that far;;]

Internet broadcasting is mainly viewed by men in their 20s and 30s. Unlike Mollru’s room, where a certain percentage of female viewers exist, some rooms have over 90% men. Most of the viewers in Mollru’s room were men too.

She unintentionally hit the sweet spot of the viewers’ preferences. The fact that it was a song they knew well made it a fantastic choice. Why did they know this song? Because it was a popular karaoke staple that resonates with men’s hearts. Everyone had sung it at least once.

However, picking this song wasn’t just all good news. Ratings were stricter for familiar songs than for unfamiliar ones. Especially those who sang this song often would nitpick even more.

“Oh, that’s not how you sing it. You should sing it stronger here.” They’d find themselves unknowingly feeling disappointed.

But Mollru managed to earn their recognition despite their sharp scrutiny. For some reason, even the virtual judges could sense the masculine atmosphere radiating from Mollru.

This was the case even with the following song.

“These are my favorite songs.”

With the next couple of songs prepared, they were also well-known for being sung by males at karaoke.

At first, the viewers thought Mollru had intentionally practiced songs that men often sing for their enjoyment, but that was no longer the case.

Such a level of skill couldn’t have come from just a couple of days’ singing. It was clear she had sung for a long time, showcasing a well-honed ability. The term “favorite songs” wasn’t a lie.

[100 points… 100 points!]

[Damn…]

[Not only can they sing well, but that emotional intensity?]

[Was this person a man? Why does he sing male songs so well?]

[Whoa]

[Suspicions of Mollru being transgender ㄷㄷ]

[She seemed too naturally beautiful for a transgender person]

[Don’t take it seriously;]

[Good songs transcend gender, after all~]

[Whoa, Irv- just want to smash my head]

[Forreal, lol, as long as they sing well, that’s what matters]

“Originally a man? Don’t say weird things like that.”

Mollru, saying this, seemed somewhat flustered, possibly from the unexpected remarks.

*

Sometimes these people show an unexpectedly sharp side.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

…Or not? Did they just throw out random comments and hit the jackpot? It didn’t seem like they spoke sincerely anyway. There weren’t even a few crazy people who spoke seriously in the chat.

It just meant I was feeling fidgety. No one suspected anything, but the thief gets fidgety.

[This is my ex’s work, ㅇㅇ]

[Whoa]

[Mollru, who sings suspiciously well male songs… ex’s favorite song… Ugh…]

[So jealous, damn]

[This has a ring of truth to it]

[Lurking, the Bangjang has never even held a man’s hand in her sheltered life]

[I’ve seen her handshake with players while narrating the league, though?]

[All secrets are unraveled]

[Why don’t we just quietly listen to the songs?]

[Manager unnie is dancing with a knife, so watch out~]

“Alright, quiet down.”

She drew attention back to the viewers, who had started another pointless debate. Why is her boyfriend’s status relevant in their lives?

“I know my favorite songs are a bit masculine. So today, I want to take some song recommendations from you all.”

[At least you know, that’s a relief ㅇㅇ]

[Do you really have to? You can just sing male songs]

[She said she wants to sing different songs.]

[Mollru, do whatever you want]

[But since this is a guy’s farm, can we even recommend female songs?]

[Forreal, lol]

“Don’t you have those romantic notions? Like, ‘I wish my girlfriend would sing this song at karaoke’? That’s what I meant.”

[Whoa]

[Mollru… girlfriend?]

[She’s openly flirting now]

[Please say it again while the camera’s on; it would be the wish of a lifetime]

[The soup is boiling…]

[I do have some]

[Mollru, rental girlfriend ㄷㄷ]

“Ah, stop! You’re making me daydream too much. Let me rephrase. Are there any songs you think are good among those your female friends sing when you go karaoke?”

[Female friends?]

[Lol, those guys scratching their bellies in their rooms; do they have girlfriends?]

[Isn’t it courteous to ask if there’s a friend first?]

[They do have internet friends]

[This might hurt a bit]

[Mollru singing karaoke with female friends… oh…]

[This concept is also delicious]

People are such mischievous pranksters. Shaking my head while drinking the water beside me.

<Geujeomolhwang donated 30,000 won!>

– Is it like a song request?

A familiar nickname. Someone who has been consistently donating to my broadcast lately. Last month alone, they must have surpassed 3 million won in donations. Calling him the chairman isn’t too much. I also suspect he’s someone like a CEO.

“Chairman, thank you for the 30,000 won. A song request… I actually wanted to receive recommendations since I don’t know many songs myself.”

<Geujeomolhwang donated 100,000 won!>

– Please sing this song, then.

The sound of the song he wanted me to sing flows out with a big fanfare of the 100,000 won donation.

Fortunately, it’s a ballad. Unlike bouncy idol songs, this would be somewhat easier to sing.

Though not as tearful, it’s a calm song with a subtle sadness present in its female vocals. Though the pitch is slightly high, it seems within the bounds of my capability.

[Just like that]

[What song is this?]

[It’s a banger ㅇㅇ]

In the chat, it seems several of them recognize the song. Handing the title, they quickly search for it on YouTube and set up the karaoke.

The melody is well remembered, and they intend to give it a try. Normally, one would sing only after becoming used to the song, but since the purpose is to learn a new song right now, that doesn’t matter.

“Our days have passed by, all just like that…”

It was a bit shaky, but considering it was the first time, it wasn’t bad. Somehow managing to finish the song, I looked at the chat.

[Hmm…]

[Not the same flavor as before]

[Something feels bland]

[The Bangjang isn’t a talent powerhouse after all]

[So that last one was really polished from singing it a lot; like fine wine]

[Recognizing the human touch]

[Should I just sing that last song?]

[I really enjoyed it ^^ Please save it to my playlist.]

“I’m actually doing pretty well with this, you know!”

Even knowing it was a joke, it’s hard not to say something like that.
