Liora's right though. Especially if your an oldschool NijiKR fan you know how badly neglected and mistreated the branch was. There's no reason to trust Nijisanji, and some of those same symptoms are showing up in NijiEN, unfortunately.

Going in the for the night, see you later anons.

There's a lot of nuances, but the main issue boils down to how the dynamic between the streamer and audience works,

In KR streaming, generally, the relation between the audience and streamer is in some ways, antagonistic. Not in the "literally fighting my audience" kinda way (although that does happen too kek), but in a sort of teasing way. Making jokes and comments at the streamer's expense to elicit reactions, stream sniping, joke donations, a lot of these things wouldn't be considered acceptable in a more JP styled environment, where the status of the streamer is above the viewers (again not always the case, I'm speaking generally here), but this is very common practice in KR streaming. I think the best examples of this kind of streaming (at least in vtubing) is Maoruya or some of the other Project Connect members and others like them. Generally, the focus of these kinds of streams is to keep things exciting and engaging and to keep up the tension. This kind of meta arose because going hard into coombaiting could get you into serious trouble (keep in mind that porn is illegal in Korea, and generally being lewd is looked down upon), so instead they went the "fun" route instead of the "sexy" route.

Issue is, this kind of high tension stream where the viewers constantly take jabs at the streamer, is kinda the extreme opposite to how most JP vtubers do things. So you now have a problem. Those who are getting into vtubing via Hololive or Nijisanji or whatever JP thing have the same expectations from their KR livers and on the flipside you have KR viewers that want their style of streaming from their vtubers. The conflict is pretty much inevitable, but I do think that it could possibly lead to an interesting synthesis of streaming styles.

Last thread was a bit unlucky. Did posting speed up or what? Guess we got knocked off the catalog.
