I have translated the text below as requested, preserving the original format and without including commentary:

—

I searched for ‘broadcasting microphone’ on the portal site and checked the price range for “1 million won or more” from the shopping page results that appeared.

—

[Is this broadcaster a rookie?]

[Headset mic to 1 million won mic, what a dramatic evolution ㅋㅋ]

[My carefully curated cost-effective mic recommendations… might need to be scrapped]

[Let’s go for an ASMR mic]

[Wouldn’t starting with a 100,000 won mic be better?]

[Still, they clearly have a lot of money]

[If sunk costs come in, it might make it harder to quit broadcasting]

[Let’s have a long and healthy broadcast career~]

[The host’s headset probably costs a pretty penny too, huh?]

—

All I did was search and check a box, just two actions.

But the chat is going wild.

Cost-effectiveness aggro incoming.

Though I really am planning to buy the mic.

—

“Isn’t it more cost-effective to just buy a good one instead of going through the hassle of buying twice?”

—

[You seem to misunderstand the meaning of cost-effectiveness…]

[A cost-effectiveness only Seol would appreciate]

[Does this person sit down every day with a napkin around their neck to eat steak?]

[Showing off wealth on a YouTuber channel would be better]

[Residence likely in a top-tier apartment in central Seoul]

—

I flinch.

When there are a lot of people, there’s bound to be at least one accurate comment mixed in among the random ones.

And it makes me flinch.

—

“This is a normal game broadcast. Please don’t attach strange concepts to it.”

—

[This person received 500,000 in-game currency in Infinity but why are they mad?]

[Female player who is genuinely into Magica]

[What’s wrong with a female player being into magical girl games?]

[Heard Magical Girls Chronik was a healing-type show, but apparently all the protagonist’s friends die?]

[This is reportedly very harmful]

[A spoiler ㅅㅂ]

[Ah, if you care so much about legends, why watch it?]

—

“Did anyone watch Magical Girls Chronik? Who was your favorite character?”

—

[Getting a response?]

[Successfully breached the host’s defenses]

[I’m a Venus fan]

[Look at how her tone changed ㅋㅋ]

[Cute how excited this Seol is]

—

[Me too, Venus was good too]

<ㄴㄷㄴㄷ>

—

There’s no way all these people watched Magical Girls Chronik.

But knowing that someone else watched it because of me feels really satisfying.

This masterpiece needs to be known by more people!

Anyone who hasn’t seen it has lost out on life!

—

“Earth is the best. Can’t say more without spoiling! Therefore, you MUST go watch Magical Girls Chronik immediately!”

—

[A viewer named MagicalGirlQuestions donated 1,000 won]

─”Do I have the heart of a Noksu or closer to Venus?”

—

<ㅁㅊ>

[Ah, sexual harassment warning]

[You should leave]

[If the host was a fan of the flat-chested faction vs. the large-chested faction, asking wouldn’t be wrong, would it?]

[Are you this person’s 2D character?]

[Do these people even realize this is a crime?]

—

“The chest size is probably around Z-cup… to the point where it drags on the ground and they walk with it.”

—

[Now that I imagine it, it’s really terrifying]

[Stop making weird questions, you otakus]

[Z-cup… that sounds plausible?]

[What the hell does that even mean?]

—

While I didn’t take it personally, wouldn’t it be better if people focused on my actions rather than on the fact that I’m a woman?

Is it so difficult to separate a part of someone and think about them that way?

If I hadn’t been a woman from the start, so many people wouldn’t have come to watch.

—

The number of viewers has already exceeded 800.

And it’s still rising in real-time.

Because I revealed I was a woman and then ran away, there must have been a lot of unanswered curiosity left.

—

[Did Victory Wilde know the broadcaster was a woman?]

—

What kind of questions are these?

—

“I know it won’t be easy, but I’d rather be seen as just a broadcaster rather than a female broadcaster. Isn’t gender irrelevant when it comes to gaming?”

—

Think about it.

If I wanted to flaunt the fact that I’m a woman and gain attention, I would have done the broadcast with a female voice from the start.

—

[Even saying that with such a voice…]

[How naive, believing the ‘just a guy’ friends?]

[But I watch because you’re good at gaming, not because you’re a woman?]

—

No good. Female voice confiscated for now.

I’ve turned on the voice changer during the broadcast.

—

[Ahhh, no!]

[All because of that mid-size questioner ㅅㅂ]

[Please don’t leave ㅠㅠ]

[Don’t even think about dropping it]

—

Too late now.

I’ve lowered the pitch considerably, creating a deep resonant tone,

And adjusted my speaking method to reduce any dissonance.

—

“Ah, ah, ah.”

—

[Give us our host back! This monster!]

[Kyyyyaaa]

[Nope, it’s worthless. I already hear the original voice anyway ㅋㅋ]

[No way, not happening]

[It works?]

[Just stop pulling aggro, have you only watched a day or two of this broadcast?]

—

“I’m thinking of buying the mic that seems most recommended. Is this one good?”

—

This research is sufficient.

I don’t have any contacts who know about audio equipment.

—

<1,560,000 won>

[Why buy a good mic if you’re gonna use voice modulation anyway?]

[Buying an expensive mic will make you feel guilty enough to use your real voice more often, right?]

[The person doesn’t seem to care about the price at all?]

[Is this person a trust fund baby?]

[Even receiving 10,000 won would mean nothing to this person?]

[Already on the fourth stage?]

—

“What’s the fourth stage?”

—

[Some weird thing being pushed by incel trolls]

[Seeing that will just ruin your mood. Ignore it.]

[These jerks only spread garbage. Chat’s a mess]

[Do NOT search “female streamer four stages” in the search bar]

—

The “Streamer Four Stages” meme was like a four-panel comic about a female streamer.

In the first stage, she was grateful for any attention, but she gradually became arrogant toward the audience as she grew.

It was striking how the naive girl character gradually became a tanned blonde gal as the story progressed.

—

“Hmm.”

—

But I might be around Stage 5 already?

“Can’t we just get rid of the useless ones and keep only those who are here to watch the games?”

Ideally, only those who don’t care at all about the fact that I’m a woman.

—

[Is there no hand cam today?]

[Turn off the voice modulation pleeeease ㅠㅠ]

—

This seems like a really difficult task indeed.

—

[Have you stopped doing the undefeated max-level Teama content?]

—

“I haven’t dropped it entirely… but I’m not really sure yet.”

—

Wild and I are out of contact right now, or rather, I have been ignoring all his messages.

Will they accept my apology? Hmm.

Since I’ve decided to do the Magica broadcast today, let’s start Magica!

—

“Mic order completed. Let’s start the Magica tutorial broadcast!”

—

[You actually bought it]

[When did you sneakily pay?]

[Since personal information appears, you must have done it off-screen]

[More Magica? Ugh]

[That poop game reeks]

[Everything’s fine but please turn off the voice modulator]

[This is exactly the Magica tutorial broadcast I’ve been looking for]

[Don’t fall for it, it’s a scam!]

[Nope, I’m not leaving until the broadcast ends]

—

“I don’t need viewers who dislike Magica in my broadcast.”

—

[It’s scary because it seems like the host is serious]

[Is it really?]

—

Of course it’s real. Am I faking it?

[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: This “Seol” person is really strange…]

[Isn’t broadcasting itself a way of seeking attention and popularity?

But this person doesn’t seem to be. They have all the tricks but don’t use them.

Teama gaming broadcasts have the largest audience share. If she achieved the rare female Challenger rank, it would simply create a viewer-copy bug.

Instead, she plays weird poop-games like Magica.

Even though she has a great voice, she insists on using strange modulation.

Even showing her hands could slowly brew interest, but she doesn’t.

I honestly don’t know what she’s trying to do.]

—

─[Don’t fall for the scam! Don’t fall for the scam! Don’t fall for the scam!]

─[You should not watch, I will only watch my own little Seol]

└[No hope, haven’t you seen that the viewers already passed 3000 today?]

└[Didn’t they say that they did a male voice modulation and started a Magica tutorial broadcast? Why are over 3000 people watching that?]

─[Sometimes there are people who get too big and want to shrink their audience]

─[Magica is a poop game? You’ve disrespected our game, we won’t stand for it!]

└[Has a defensive wall already been formed?]

└[Insulting Magica’s graphics being rough, control being crap, the system crude, and overly complicated… THIS INSULT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN!]

└[No one said that!]

└[Pretends to defend but hits back with the shield]

—

[Writer: LilyFantasy] [Title: I totally figured out “Seol’s” psyche ㅋㅋ]

[Unusually obsessed with magical girl anime and Venus

What’s the hallmark of a magical girl anime?

That its百合 (yuri, girl-girl romance) circuits run strong as hell.

In Magical Girls Chronik alone, there are over 3 major yuri lines.

Meaning Seol is a yuri fan.

She doesn’t want to be involved with men because she’s a misandrist yuri fan!]

—

─[Your delusion, noted]

─[Your nickname is on point!]

─[The way to befriend a yuri fan: Declare yourself to also be an innocent yuri fan. Go on, repeat after me. “Long live百合! Male entry is death! Heterosexual drift is death!”]

└[Heterosexual? Are you gay…? Did you come from that site by any chance?]

└[All the words used are suspicious!]

─[I heard women like viewing female bodies more anyway]

└[Instead of using obscene terms like xbbb, please express it as “yuri”!]

—

[Writer: CoolAnalyst] [Title: I’ll explain “Seol” psychology to you]

[Seems to have broadcasted with a male voice modulation until banned from an agency

Looks like they’ve been consistently using voice modulation even from three years ago, before Victory Wilde went pro

This guy just finds it incredibly annoying to deal with men…

Do you know what distinguishes overly attention-seeking female broadcasters?

They’re desperate due to their lack of attention in real life

But Seol clearly dislikes attention, right?

That means she probably gets a lot of attention in real life

It’s certain her face matches—no, surpasses her beautiful voice]

—

─[Does that even make sense? Nice voice, pretty hands, great at gaming, and a beautiful face?]

└[And a silver spoon, plus friends with Wilde and Victory ㅋㅋ]

└[Are they even friends? I heard Wilde didn’t even know Seol was a woman haha]

└[Yet the one thing this perfect Seol hasn’t achieved is… I, Choi Sung-Jin from Anyang, Gyeonggi-do]

└[Go ahead and take that]

─[Oh… that does have impact…]

└[Wait a second, isn’t that bullsh*t?]

└[Is this a viral marketing campaign for Seol??]

─[Are you mocking our sickly but amazing sister by calling her desperate???]

└[ㅋ]

─[If she doesn’t want attention, why broadcast at all???]

└[She wants to show her gaming skill but doesn’t want the attention that comes with being a woman gamer, maybe?]

└[Wow, s*, is this true?? This explains every situation…?]
