There were many different emoticon packs being shared around on Weibo and various different forums of Chen Mo’s various expressions during the stream, all with different texts.

“I think SSRs don’t exist in this game.”

“Tears of the unlucky.”

“Stop crying, you’re in the presence of the most unlucky.”

“Lucky turned unlucky.”

“I don’t know what to do if I don’t draw SSRs.”

“Draw once before sleep, all of them were Rs!”

It didn’t take long before it became the hot topic of the day on the Onmyoji forums. Chen Mo card drawing livestream also became a trending topic on Weibo.

The players were full of anger and wanted to release it all onto Chen Mo, but who knew he couldn’t draw an SSR when he was so serious about it too!

And he seemed much more angry and the average player!

Many players felt like they got their answer. There weren’t any tricks and techniques to this game, it all depends on how lucky you were, even the designer couldn’t escape this!

A majority of the hatred was quenched following the laughter.

Many of them concluded that the rates are always the same, it’s their problem that they couldn’t draw SSRs!

And just like that, the fight between the developer and players were changed into the battle between the lucky and the unlucky, and Chen Mo never got much hate for this again.

As for the Chinese mobile game market, it was still dealing with the aftermath of Onmyoji’s release.

So developers finally understood the mechanics behind I Am MT, but out came Onmyoji. What’s worse was that the two games seemed to have no similarities.

I Am MT was copping a lot of hatred while making tons of money, with a relatively low score. On the other hand, Onmyoji was still getting hate and making money, but the ratings were really high!

The designers were trying to figure out how to copy Onmyoji, but it didn’t take long for them to realise they couldn’t.

Many designers couldn’t understand how Onmyoji got popular in the first place.

If the designers couldn’t understand, there was no way the media could figure it out.

Tianji.com’s journalist Han Lu was organising files related to Onmyoji, but was more and more confused as she looked deeper into it.

She interviewed him when I Am MT was released, but she got nothing out of it, and got played by Chen Mo instead.

Things like “Making happiness mindfully”, “Passion, sincerity, commitment”, and “All for the players” were all gags that were used by the players again and again.

And Han Lu’s article had been beaten like a dead horse again and again, there were many horrible comments driving Han Lu mad.

After Onmyoji became so popular, the Editor in Chief thought it would be a good idea to have Han Lu interview Chen Mo again.

Han Lu tried really hard to refuse, but the Editor in Chief was determined to have her do it.

“It’s fine, even if you get nothing out of him. Even if you release an article like last time, it would still bring many clicks to our website. Just try and make it as clickable as possible, alright?”

Han Lu decided on interviewing Chen Mo once again.
