But here, viewers didn't know this. In their minds, the ending of [To The Faint Star] was the kind that couldn't be deeply thought about. Just thinking deeply, various tragic endings like sinking into the space, coming across the swarm disaster or getting caught in some space turbulence would flood their minds, again delivering a heavy blow.
------------------------------
I'm crying to death! Boohoo, I don't even know whether to cry or laugh.
Rocky! The true God of Pure Love!
I need to chase after time! This is romance! This is love!
A true vow of eternal love.
MiHoYo, you should be damned! You still refuse to give them a good ending; this ending is just a more cruel one!
Boohoo, I always feel like Rocky must have gone mad after learning the truth, which is why he's laughing so happily.
...
The comments exploded!
Countless devastated viewers.
On one hand, they criticized MiHoYo for being heartless, on the other hand, they cried loudly.
If the viewers were like this, the situation in the screening room was even more intense.
"Boohoo."
"I-I just started working in MiHoYo."
"I want some candy! I don't want to see this. Wah, Big Brother, someone is bullying me."
Furina burst into tears and her childish words vented her inner pain.
Ayaka took out her folding fan and covered her face but her constantly shaking shoulders and soft sobs showed that she was also deeply distressed.
"Hmph, next time, I'll definitely check the script first."
March 7th clung to Himeko's arm, sobbing as she spoke.
Seeing even the lively little March 7th like this, other people were even more affected.
"Ha. Next time you mess with the boss, I fully support you, my sister."
Jing Yuan exhaled deeply, his eyes vacant as he leaned back in his chair.
"Really? Really?"
Fu Xuan turned her head, secretly wiping her tears.
In the corner, Silver Wolf had already put on her visor to cover her eyes, but her mouth kept muttering about Xia Wen's evil plan.
Seele and Bronya, one with tightly pursed lips and clen0ched fists, eyes red and the other had been constantly wiping away tears in the latter part.
"Stop crying, Bronya. The boss must be doing it on purpose. Look, he's smiling so happily now."
Seele glared fiercely at the distant Xia Wen.
Yes. The smile wouldn't disappear from Xia Wen's face.
"Hehe, this is really delicious."
...
Next.
The plot was coming to a close, the conversation between Himeko and Herta, and the explanation about the space station's reconstruction.
After the antimatter army was mostly expelled, under the farewell of the space station's crew, the express members boarded the train again.
The next target planet, Jarilo-VI, had already been mentioned by the crew. It was time for the classic star rail tune of embarking on a journey to play.
Just as the lyrics said:
"I will wait, until you reach the end."
The melodious and slightly melancholic tune made the viewers' unsettled emotions ache again, memories flooded back, bits and pieces of To the Faint Star, and the adventure at the space station.
Sadness, grief, expectation, and various emotions mixed together, which made viewers suddenly realize, they seemed to feel the same emotions as the train crew.
Feeling the emotions of the journey, parting, reluctance, regret, but still stepping onto a new journey, moving forward.
Episode Two: The shadow that has not yet departed.
Officially ends.
...
Boohoo, you took my tears. What was supposed to be an exciting story turned so emotional.
Suddenly tearing up, as if I also boarded the train.
Watching two episodes, the surprises were so great! Apart from the special effects, the stories are each more exciting than the last.
I will always love MiHoYo!
Industrial trash? More like industrial giants!!
...
After the story ended.
The comments were flooding the screen and the traffic on MiHoYo's official website exploded again.
This forced Silver Wolf, who was still immersed in sadness, to temporarily leave and go maintain the server.
According to the server's update, the number of people flooding into MiHoYo's official website at the same time had already exceeded ten million.
This level of traffic, as long as it can be maintained, MiHoYo can achieve a traffic miracle, rising from a small, obscure website to a second-tier video streaming platform.
This achievement was considered a real miracle by others.
And this was only after airing two episodes.
What will it be like when Belobog airs, or when the Xianzhou airs... It's hard to imagine.
After To the Faint Star ended, on Weibo's topic platform:
#RockyLesley#
#LoveBeyondTime#
#MiHoYoHasNoHeart#
#ThankYouMiForRestoringMyBeliefInLove#
The relevant hashtags for To the Faint Star instantly topped the charts.
Discussions about love grabbed everyone's attention in an instant, this kind of heat attracted even more viewers.
Originally, due to a large number of troll accounts and black fans, the comments section of MiHoYo's drama was in chaos. But within less than two hours, the situation was completely reversed.
....
What industrial trash? If you can make trash like this, I'll watch it every day on repeat!
The little black fans can't say a word now.
You could make a hundred domineering CEO dramas, but you still can't produce this short love story.
MiHoYo fans, who had been seething with anger, launched a fierce counterattack.
.....
"Last week, many trolls appeared visibly in major comment sections.
The angles of criticism were all bizarre, revolving around terms like industrial trash.
What's even more ridiculous is that people actually believed such talk; I admit, I was a bit worried at the time, fearing that the newly emerging series would die in such black propaganda.
However, today's plot has completely reassured me.
We're no longer the ones panicking; you are!
You lot, occupying major traffic platforms, making piles of trash products every day and making money while lying down, should be the ones worried.
At least today, so many people who have watched Honkai: Star Rail will definitely not go back to watch your trash.
Industrial trash? If MiHoYo is industrial trash, then major production companies aren't even worthy of polishing MiHoYo's shoes.
In other words, you're even worse than trash."
......
MiHoYo's hardcore fan Li Mengyi, ID Dream Girl , with a clear mind, posted her lengthy comment on major platforms instantly receiving hundreds of thousands of likes.
Such statements also deeply wounded some people's hearts, making it clear that traffic blackmail was useless.
What made these people feel like they had eaten a fly was MiHoYo continued to air the Honkai: Star Rail series with huge traffic. But such traffic, they could only eat the tailwind. Because MiHoYo is still MiHoYo and no matter how much pressure, it silently produces dramas, first releasing on MiHoYo's official website, and only after most people have watched will it be released on major platforms.
...
In the MiHoYo screening room.
The sound of sobbing was incessant.
