At 9 PM, in M Station's cover song section, a new video quietly went live. The title: "Glad You're A Lolicon." The name alone caught a few curious glances, and people clicked in without hesitation.
Many users had the habit of jumping straight into videos without checking the uploader's profile or reading the description. As a result, the uploader's info initially didn't get much attention—less than half even glanced at the intro.
"Newbie uploader here. If the singing's not great, please go easy on me~ The new song is premiering on M Station. MP3 available on MySong. (Download link) Hope you like it, and if you do, please follow me~ Meow~" The simple, cutesy message was charming—but no one was going to judge until they actually listened.
After clicking the video and waiting a few seconds for it to load, a cheerful melody began to play, immediately lifting spirits. Twenty seconds in, when the uploader's voice entered—everyone was stunned. That soft, sweet voice clearly belonged to a very young girl.
Those who already knew the song continued with anticipation, while new listeners were intrigued, curiosity pushing them to keep watching. While many couldn't read the Japanese subtitles, the uploader had thoughtfully added Chinese translations, making the lyrics easy to follow.
Her cute, soft, slightly immature voice was accompanied by an onslaught of bullet comments from viewers.
"Holy crap, that's adorable…"
"How old is this uploader? That voice is so soft and childlike!"
"Where's the holy paladin?! I'm bleeding out over here…"
"Health bar: EMPTY."
"Instant fan!!"
"I can't take it anymore. That voice is TOO good!"
"Whoever said that last line is a total degenerate!"
At first, the bullet comments were sparse. But as the view count climbed, the video drew more attention from M Station users. Soon enough, someone even featured it in one of the six rotating homepage recommendations.
With its visibility skyrocketing, people started visiting the uploader's page—"BlackNeko."
The page was simple. Only one video uploaded. The profile showed just three things: nickname, age, and gender. Everything else was either blank or hidden.
No one cared much about the rest—but that "13" under age shocked quite a few. Some people ran back to the video to flood the comments and bullet screen.
"Confirmed: The uploader is only 13—a loli in her prime!"
"BlackNeko-chan, marry me!"
Her follower count quickly jumped from zero to triple digits. Not a huge number, but definitely a solid start. The overnight reaction hadn't quite turned the video viral yet.
Tomorrow was Saturday. Viewer traffic would spike. With enough exposure, a tipping point might be reached—and then growth would explode.
A purebred loli called BlackNeko had stepped into the holy land of otaku—M Station—and with her soft little claws, scratched right at the hearts of fans everywhere, showing the world her adorable side.
Of course, none of this mattered to Chu Lian at the moment. After Ayase's little "revenge prank," she was too exhausted to move and lay limp on her bed.
And as usual, the biological clock she'd developed over the past year had her asleep before 10 PM.
Seeing Chu Lian peacefully asleep, Ayase—watching a movie in the system space—smiled faintly. Then, quietly, she opened Chu Lian's computer, logged into her M Station account, and uploaded another video.
The second video Ayase uploaded was a compilation of Chu Lian's everyday adorable moments—many of which Chu Lian probably hadn't even noticed herself.
Of course, Ayase had only included harmless clips. The most enticing scenes were no more than Chu Lian in her Sudi High School uniform, showing that irresistible "absolute territory" between her pleated skirt and white thigh-high socks.
The 2P[1] video was titled: "BlackNeko-chan's Daily Cuteness." Like the first, it needed to go through moderation, but Ayase was confident it would pass quickly. Once it did, anyone who discovered the second clip would be in for a pleasant surprise.
And indeed, the video was approved just after 1 AM. Many people stayed up late on weekends, and for regulars on M Station, pulling all-nighters was normal. Otherwise, the phrase "late-night special" wouldn't even exist.
Some clicked on the first video out of habit, while others were drawn by the enticing title of the second video and went straight for it.
Once viewers entered 2P, it only took a few seconds for the first reaction to burst out:
"Holy crap!"
Because the loli in the video was simply too cute. Whether she was rolling around asking for food, deliberately acting cute, stumbling with an airhead vibe, or just tripping over flat ground—it was all dangerously adorable.
"No way... If the uploader is this loli, I'll be her fan for life!"
"Nosebleed... nosebleed... Someone call a doctor!"
"Your cuteness just dealt 99,999 true damage to my soul—I'm down!"
"Where's the holy paladin? Come resurrect me!"
The bullet comments were a chaotic flood of lost morals and overflowing praise. Viewers were completely captivated by this unbearably cute loli. The exaggerated "damage" jokes might've been dramatic, but they reflected the soft spot she'd hit in everyone's heart.
Of course, not all comments were wholesome. Some questioned whether the girl in the video was actually the uploader.
But among the online crowd, there were always a few with amazing sleuthing skills. Thanks to the video clips, it didn't take long for someone to figure out who she was in real life.
"Isn't this the literary prodigy from Sucheng? What happened to that quiet image? Since when was she this cute?! Still—thumbs up!"
"My literary girl can't be this adorable!"
"Literary loli best girl!"
"Gentlemen, I love lolis. I love literary lolis. I love cute, playful lolis. But most of all—I love BlackNeko-chan!"
Still, Ayase hadn't crossed the line. At the end of the video, she added a message:
"Hi everyone, did you enjoy this video? Let me introduce myself: I'm BlackNeko-chan's older sister. All the clips in this compilation were secretly recorded while she was unaware. And yes, BlackNeko is indeed Chu Lian."
"I uploaded this while she was sleeping, so please don't tell her~ (wink). She'll continue posting videos here, and when I get the chance, I'll sneak in another 2P update. Look forward to it!"
The bullet comments exploded again:
"Big sis, you're awesome!"
"Big sis, marry me!"
"I wish I had a little sister like that too!"
"Little sis is cute, but big sis is also adorable. Be my wings, both of you!"
"Whoever said 'be my wings' is messed up! She's thirteen! You serious?!"
"FBI OPEN UP!!"
Watching all of this unfold from the system space, Ayase grinned so hard her eyes narrowed to slits. "Little Lian'er, I wonder if you'll like this little gift I've prepared for you? Calling me black-hearted, huh… hmph~"
Humming happily to herself, Ayase too entered sleep mode.
After the 2P video went live, the views for Chu Lian's original post surged at lightning speed. By 9 AM the next morning, total views had already surpassed 100,000. It was Saturday, and viewership was only going to increase from there. While there would eventually be a plateau, the hype from the surprise 2P video meant reaching 300,000 views wouldn't be difficult.
Chu Lian, moving at a leisurely pace like she was taking a morning stroll, finished washing up and sat down with breakfast in hand. She powered on her computer, not expecting much from the video she'd uploaded the night before.
She was a complete newbie, and low viewership was normal. Even high-quality videos needed time to gain traction, so she wasn't too stressed about it.
Still, this was her first time posting a video—and it was tied to a system task. So a hint of anticipation bubbled under her calm demeanor.
She opened her browser and logged in to M Station. Without glancing at the homepage recommendations, she went straight to her personal page and clicked into her uploaded content.
That's when she saw it—2P: "BlackNeko-chan's Daily Cuteness."
"Wait a minute... I didn't upload a 2P. Where did that come from?!" She checked the data: 126,534 views, 3,558 favorites, 1,059 bullet comments, 506 coins.
These numbers—something wasn't right! Something was definitely wrong!
Nervously, she opened 2P. One look was all it took. The girl in the video was her, recorded without her knowledge. She watched until the end, and when she saw that final message, she immediately knew who was behind it.
"Ayase!! What the heck is this?!" Her roar (or was it a cat's meow?) jolted Ayase out of her relaxed state. Yawning, Ayase appeared as a translucent projection: "Morning, Little Lian'er…"
But what greeted her was a tiny, furious figure flying straight at her.
Don't let the name "BlackNeko" fool you—she was a cat. And while she usually acted sweet and cuddly, an angry cat could still bite!
