Chapter 3207 Clickbait
In the blink of an eye, the show was reaching the middle of its run. Megan’s character was about to appear soon, but the viewership ratings had already decreased to nearly less than half of what the pilot episode had garnered.
The audience was complaining about how the main female character was useless and how many of the side characters only served as plot devices to the story. Some were even starting to criticize the director’s skills and decisions.
However, Megan was aware that the main female character was going to develop and grow. The first half of the show merely hinted at the exciting plot twists to come in the second half.
So, on the day that the episode where her character was debuting was about to air, she made a Twitter post to try and get more people to tune in to the show: Don’t forget to watch “Transcendent” later tonight! The princess is finally making her appearance, and she’s an extremely charming character to keep an eye out for!
She knew that her character would not appear to be likable at all for quite a few episodes, but had chosen to promote the show at this specific time anyway. After all, even one curious person who might watch the show was a potential future fan.
As she’d expected, a lot of people had watched the new episode because of her social media post. After the episode was over, they returned to comment their criticisms under her post.
Your character is just as shameless as you are in real life!
“Charming”? She’s just a bratty, prideful show-off! Calling her “charming” is an insult to people who actually are charming!
Megan raised an eyebrow as she scrolled past all of the unpleasant comments. Donna, on the other hand, kept sighing and huffing as she read through them.
“It’s not that bad, Donna. Cheer up! I’m sure my character is going to become one of the most popular ones in the show.”
Nothing she said was able to lighten Donna’s mood, whose frown seemed to never leave her face.
The two of them later went to bed that night, keeping their thoughts and feelings to themselves.
The next day was the day that Megan was going to finally find out if she’d made the right bet. Yet, for some reason, she couldn’t find the strength to turn on the television.
Donna had an inkling as to why but didn’t voice her suspicions out loud. But, even if Transcendent was going to flop, she was going to watch every episode until its inevitable crash. With a newfound determination, she took the remote from Megan and turned the television on.
