[Title: Isn’t she pretty?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

As always, I entered the bulletin board and smiled contentedly.

It was thanks to the girl on the post I had just clicked on.

A beautiful woman with long, gray hair, deflecting lightning with a single greatsword.

An oval-shaped, slender jawline, and snow-white skin.

Her slightly upturned eyes looked provocative, and the smile on her small, light pink lips seemed to reveal her confidence.

She looked to be in her late teens, no, just barely in her twenties.

What was particularly beautiful about this woman, who possessed both the innocence of a girl and the maturity of a woman, were her clear eyes, the color of violet blossoms.

The light contained in those eyes was the pride of one who would overcome all the cold and hardships of the world.

I looked at the picture and nodded at the phrase written at the bottom.

Naturally, I immediately hit the like button. And when I refreshed the page with a smile.

[Likes: 4][Dislikes: 7]

As the number of dislikes increased, a comment that didn’t exist before appeared.

[ㅇㅇ(113.712): Ugh. Those Sayoonstans are at it again.]

[ㅇㅇ(231. 511): Is that supposed to be the sect leader? What a slut… Look at how she’s dressed.]

What’s wrong with her clothes?

It’s the proud attire of the Hongseong sect leader.

Of course, it was tight enough to reveal her curvy figure, and the right leg of her pants was missing, revealing her white thighs.

But isn’t this a very modest level?

There are kids who run around in tights that are practically see-through!!

ㄴ Sohyeop Siu*: Isn’t he speaking the truth?

ㄴㅇㅇ(146.51): I heard it’s a well-known fact in the academy that she rebuilt her sect by selling her body after it was destroyed.

ㄴvSupreme Chaerin v*: Bullshit. If Sayoon sold her body, she could’ve bought the entire empire. Who could resist that;;;

ㄴㅇㅇ(67.491): ㄹㅇㅋㅋ

ㄴㅇㅇ(151.373): ㄹㅇㅋㅋ

[Flamethrower*: But seriously, could a trash character like that have gotten through the story without anything happening? Fighting against those Green Forest mobs… I’m stepping out for a bit.]

ㄴㅇㅇ(33.491): ㅗㅜㅑ;;

ㄴ Moonjeong Porter (113.121): Tonight’s fap material is decided.

“These bastards…”

In the story, her face turns red whenever her hand touches a man’s, and she trains by shedding blood for the sake of revenge for her destroyed sect.

A human-transcending warrior who, unlike others, achieved enlightenment solely through her outstanding talent!

How dare they insult Sayoon, the only one currently capable of soloing the Iron Blood Sovereign, the season boss of the Iron Blood Clan?

Unforgivable!

Absolutely unforgivable!!

I immediately posted on the forum.

[Title: From now on, the Heavenly Bright Moon Gallery will be taken over by our 50 million Sayoon Corps!]

[Sayoon Corps… Assemble!!]

[Likes: 0][Dislikes: 1]

ㄴ Flamethrower*: Umm, the number of subscribers is less than 300,000, what 50 million are you talking about;;;

ㄴㅇㅇ(31.94): Every word out of your mouth is a lie.

ㄴㅇㅇ(111.574): You have to include multiple IDs.

ㄴㅇㅇ(31.94): Whoa! I didn’t know that!

Nonsense.

I know that everyone has a place in their hearts for Sayoon.

I reported all the slanderous comments that had no evidence and looked around the gallery.

There was no need to wait long. The Sayoon Corps, who had been hiding, quickly started hitting the like button. At the same time, posts began to appear rapidly on the gallery.

[Heavenly Bright Moon Gallery]

[The protagonist of Heavenly Bright Moon is Hongseong’s leader Sayoon, and this can be historically proven][0]

[The true hero who saved the empire and destroyed the Iron Blood Clan][0]

[My dick is itchy.][0]

[Moonjeong Prostitute vs. Hongseong Leader][4]

.

.

.

As expected, when 50 million Sayoon Corps members move, taking over one measly gallery is nothing!

As I was proudly watching the gallery, a new post came up, and I had to click on it.

[Heavenly Bright Moon Part 5 Announcement Leaked][17]

I’d been waiting for this.

Despite being an early character, Sayoon has been literally mistreated compared to other characters.

Her awakening was the slowest, her story the most depressing.

On top of that, her combat power was the lowest.

But as you know, veterans get excited about trash characters…

“She’s not a trash character!!”

Right. Our pretty girl can’t be a trash character.

I looked at the posters on my wall and made up my mind.

Sayoon is not a trash character.

She’s just a late bloomer.

The Sayoon boom… is coming!

I took a deep breath, repeating it in my head.

I’ve played every protagonist since the release of Heavenly Bright Moon, but the true protagonist was always one.

I,

And the 50 million Sayoon Corps, became of one mind and one heart, praying that she would receive a huge buff in Heavenly Bright Moon Part 5.

This update, where the final battle with the Iron Blood Clan, who destroyed her sect, unfolds.

If they have any conscience, they’ll give our pretty girl some high-coefficient skills!

Please! Please!

I read through the content, and by the time I reached the last line, I froze.

“What the… Ggghhhhkkkkaakkk…”

They’re nerfing a character who needs dozens of buffs?!

And they’re just giving her a single self-buff skill…?!

These bastards…!

At the outrageous act of these heartless people, I lost consciousness.

When I came to my senses and looked around the gallery, all hell had broken loose.

[Heavenly Bright Moon Gallery]

[Sayoon Corps Utterly Annihilated!][37]

[Hongseong Slut Club Open for Business!][0]

[The Majesty of Sister Chaeyeon as Seen in This Update][4]

[Is there a festival going on?][3]

[Who is the Protagonist of Heavenly Bright Moon?][81]

[There is Emotion in Sayoon’s DPS!!][7]

[No, but seriously, isn’t this too much?][118]

Every time I clicked on a post, my insides twisted and I felt like I was going to cough up blood.

Seriously, isn’t this a bit too much?

Performance? Her coefficients are bad because she’s an early character? Then what about Sihu and Chaeyeon?

Why are they still treated like royalty when they’re also early characters?

With my face red with uncontrollable anger, I clicked on a post.

[Isn’t it obviously Yura, the prettiest one in the Hwasan sect?]

ㄴ Sayoon’s Mom*: (Pic of Sayoon as the protagonist)

ㄴ Sohyeop Siu*: (Pic of Siu flicking Sayoon’s forehead)

ㄴㅇㅇ(117.51): Don’t listen to this, our Sayoon. It’s not your fault.

ㄴㅇㅇ(31.119): ㄹㅇ It’s not her fault that her performance is bad…

ㄴㅇㅇ(117.51): Being pretty is also a performance, you know? No excuses ㄴㄴ

It’s a complete mess.

Seeing the posts from those who were taking the opportunity to mock, I buried my face in my hands.

Why?

Why does Sayoon have to suffer like this?

If it was just her performance, I could understand.

But my dissatisfaction with Sayoon’s treatment wasn’t just about her performance.

[Title: Seriously, isn’t this too much?]

[Honestly, what did this girl do wrong to deserve this? I was already pissed off about how they messed up her story last time.

I know her concept is to overcome misfortune and rise up, but it’s time to give her a break.

Her sect gets destroyed at the beginning. The village where her sect was located burns down in Chapter 1, the family of the friend who helped her gets massacred in Chapter 2, and there’s a forced loss event in Chapter 3. I get that she got the Hongseong Divine Art and had an awakening event in Chapter 4, but even then, she got stabbed in the stomach and fell off a cliff. This is too much. Fuck.]

[Likes: 111][Dislikes: 3]

ㄴ Yura’s Butt*: I have to agree, it’s a bit much. It’s like they’re intentionally trying to make some misery porn.

ㄴㅇㅇ(31.117): Be thankful, humans, that there wasn’t a rape event.

ㄴㅇㅇ(118.41): After the forced loss event, the devs officially stated that there wouldn’t be anything like that, because of all the forced positivity.

ㄴㅇㅇ(341.141): ㄹㅇ There were a lot of crazy bastards back then. Fucking weirdos. The attackers were all women, so what…

ㄴ HeavenAndEarth: You guys don’t know about GirlsCanDoAnything?

ㄴ Moonjeong Porter*: Tonight, I’m jerking off to Chaejin & Sayoon Yuri doujin.

ㄴ Head of the Mu-Dang*: I’m interested in your refined taste, sir.

ㄴㅇㅇ(94.219): Hero. Show us the way of the warrior. Let’s enjoy this together.

ㄴ ThisIsWhyWeMuRim*: Seriously, the past events and main stories of other characters are all wacky, slapstick martial arts road trips, why is hers the only one that’s a human documentary?

Other members of the Sayoon Corps, filled with rage, were posting as well. And I wasn’t joking, most people seemed to agree with their genuinely angry words.

See? Everyone pretends they don’t, but they all love Sayoon.

“Ha…”

I left the gallery and logged into Heavenly Bright Moon. My heart ached as I looked at my favorite character, Sayoon, at the very top of the character selection screen.

What grudge do they have against this beautiful girl…

Ah. I can’t take it anymore.

I can’t stand this.

I logged back into the gallery.

[Title: My fellow 50 million Sayoon Corps members! Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?!]

[Go and take a shit on their doorstep!! Send a truck!! Send a 57,000, I mean 5,700 word complaint email!! We have to do something! Let’s show them the power of our 50 million Sayoon Corps!! If they can’t get it right, I’ll possess one of them and make them do it myself!!]

It didn’t take long for the post to gain likes and comments. I kept refreshing, reading through them.

[Likes: 41][Dislikes: 1]

ㄴ Sayoon’s Third Cousin*: ㄹㅇㅋㅋ

ㄴㅇㅇ(118.41): I agree.

ㄴㅇㅇ(37.54): Mister;; You might actually get possessed;;;

ㄴ Big Titty Swordsmanship*: If I get possessed, I’m gonna shower Sayoon with love.

ㄴㅇㅇ(317.541): Yeah. Like she even knows what happiness is? They said she couldn’t even get proper snacks because she was an orphan and couldn’t get sponsored like the other disciples.

ㄴㅇㅇ(37.54): If you get possessed, buy the poor girl some candy. Damn.

ㄴ Flamethrower*: In Chapter 2, I promised to go eat candy with my friend, and when I came back injured from fighting the Iron Blood Clan, I almost cried seeing her family massacred.

ㄴㅇㅇ(117.51): Does this child even know what happiness is?

ㄴㅇㅇ(37.512): Seriously, performance aside, Sayoon’s story needs a reboot. They can do it for the other characters, why not her…

ㄴ Moonjeong Porter*: Hehehe! I’m gonna cum from patting little Sayoon’s head!

ㄴ Moon Over Sword’s Edge*: Officer! Over here! Over here!

The topic instantly changed to what we would do if we got isekai’d into Heavenly Bright Moon. A few said they would steal all the protagonist’s opportunities and flip the game world upside down, but.

Aside from those few, most said they would take care of Sayoon or at least participate in a protest.

Even if they were joking, it was clear that many were dissatisfied with Sayoon’s story.

Anyway, amidst the changed topic, some of the Sayoon Corps members who were serious about taking action were writing about organizing truck protests or sending complaint letters.

And so, many participated in the discussion, and the content of a statement was roughly decided.

What we wanted was a story reboot.

And buffs for Sayoon.

We weren’t asking for her to become overwhelmingly strong.

We weren’t asking for her to be unconditionally happy either.

The discussion concluded with us demanding that she at least be treated as well as the other characters.

If we organize this and submit a statement, they’ll fix it, right?!

An unfamiliar ceiling.

I woke up to a rather luxurious room.

The mountains visible beyond the window next to the bed, and the somehow familiar scenery.

I looked around slowly and smiled.

Because there was no need to cry.

“You bastards. You really didn’t want to fix it yourselves, huh?”

To think they’d throw me into this world to fix it myself.
