BoosterCroc

BoosterCroc (born: January 14, 2000 [age 19]) is a Malaysian YouTuber, vlogger and gamer. He is currently the most subscribed YouTube channel with over 7 thousand subscribers, gaining around 90 subscribers monthly, which averages 3 subscribers daily. Some exceptions happen when BoosterCroc makes Gacha Mini Movies or video submissions to Gachatube, where his subcount would drastically increase for a short perios of time. Before being well known a Gachatuber, BoosterCroc did random playthroughs, parodies, toy reviews and reactions. But starting from February 7th, 2018, he is notorious for his Gacha videos, most of which are series, edits, parodies and paints.

The name "BoosterCroc" was formed by the initials of his real first and last names (B and C). "Booster" as a random word. And "Croc" as Booster's favourite animal he fears.

History
Joining Youtube

BoosterCroc joined Youtube on July 15th 2015, uploading random contents every Saturday. In the beginning, he uploads recordings of his favourite games he discovered from Youtube, being played and reviewd by other Youtubers such as Pewdiepie, Jacksepticeye and Markiplier. But of course, these videos did not take him far as all of them did not get more than 100 views.

Legoverse

On May 15th, 2016, BoosterCroc released a trailer where he would make a stop-motion animation series using Legos called Legoverse. Legoverse was uploaded on a random schedule and ran with twelve episodes from 17 May 2016 to 19th May 2017. The reason why the series ran for a long time was because of the difficulty in finding voice actors, working on other videos and school life.



While Legoverse was still running, BoosterCroc continued making other videos despite the lack of fame resulting from them. Such videos include toy reviews, vlogs from school and vacations. He continued making those videos even after the series was finished. A stop motion movie called "Legoverse: Aria Origins" was initially set to be released in 2017, but was halted due to difficulty in finding voice actors.

A Reolutionary Discovery

As a last attempt to gain recognition, BoosterCroc began to play a viral visual novel called ''Doki Doki Literature Club in '12 January 2018'. ''Like most other people who played the visual novel, BoosterCroc began to have bonds with the characters, despite him being aware that they are just characters. He became longtime fan of the said visual novel and it wasn't long before he discovered a video that is related to Doki Doki Literature Club but in the format of Gacha Studio.



Seeing that he could make his own stories using Gacha Studio, BoosterCroc instantly began to make his characters, with the first six being BoosterCroc, Bonecrusher, Master Jang and Aria Nexus (from Legoverse). Sayori and Monika (from ''Doki Doki Literature Club). ''Initially it was set to be Tumblr series, but due to Tumblr's content limit, BoosterCroc compiled his stories in one Youtube video. Thus, the very first episode of his now most well- known series has begun.

Gacha Videos

His series was named "Life of a School Rebel" before it was renamed and taken to a new direction later on. While taking a hiatus from 24 February 2018 to 16 March 2018, BoosterCroc began to gain media attention, as he uploaded more episodes of his now popular series, random parodies and memes in Gacha Studio, which really boosted his subscriber growth (no pun intended). The series was then renamed to "Lives of Secret Warriors" (LOSW for short) after the first season ended. Before the finale of Season 2 of "Lives of Secret Warriors", BoosterCroc released the movie: "Legoverse: Aria origins", despite the fact he knows that Legoverse is retired.

BoosterCroc's channel by now is entirely revolved around his series. He also has two more channels under the names of "Bonecrusher" and "Aria Nexus", where they were both used for QnA videos and other random content respectively. Both channels were initially used to interact with the comment section. Over time, BoosterCroc also made many friends, some of which who join the series. He even divided his character name to Booster (first name) and Croc (last name).

The Gachatubers in the series as of 2019 are: NeamaDoesGames, J9 DaK9, Midnight Vegas, Miraculous Channel, Itz J-third YT, RomelJay456_YT, Cure Wolfie Gacha, Sinaya and Kaura Kai, Goddess Playz, Fireflame, George Greener, Lightning Bolt 101, Jacob the Fallen Angel, Samantha Rainbows and FlareElisaGACHA Editz.

Downfall and Dirt

​​​​​​Around the middle of Season 3 of "LOSW", which became a Gachaverse series, BoosterCroc began to see a drop in subscriber increase and views. He made a video asking for more suggestions to improve the series before it was removed. He acknowledges the 25% of the comments, which were those criticising the series or giving helpful feedback. BoosterCroc managed to incorporate the feedback of his fans into the last few episodes of Season 3, but it wasn't enough to save the series, even with one late episode reaching 1K views within a week.

But shortly after the end of Season 3, a fellow Gachatuber (name not mentioned due to controversial concerns) interviewed BoosterCroc for making a review video on his series. Before the review video was deleted, only half of the feedback in it was true or otherwise helpful. A majority of the video ignored most of Booster's facts during the interview with him. As a result, the video hit BoosterCroc hard which made him fall into a deeper depression than before. The impression left him with lack of hope that his channel will be favorable again, despite a fourth season being planned.

Hopes in return to form

On November 1st 2018, BoosterCroc made a Gacha Life mini-movie: "The Unnamed Hero". Currently it is the second most viewed video on his channel, sitting at 79K views and giving a small increase in subscribers. From the mini-movie, BoosterCroc learnt more about the algorithm in the Gacha community. BoosterCroc began making a comic series on instagram as a non-canon "LOSW" spinoff: "LOSW: NEON". In December, BoosterCroc also made another vlog series on his vacation in Japan. He also leaked a teaser intro for the fourth season of LOSW.

In 2019, the fourth season of LOSW took a new direction in story style, making many pop culture and anime references. It was a return to form as it reintroduces most of the characters from the previous seasons. Despite that, the episodes did not reach the milestone viewcount in time like those in the older series. Even the plan of the sequel to "The Unnamed Hero" being canon to the series did not help bring in new viewers nor big increase in sub count.

BoosterCroc's future plans after finishing LOSW include the following and in order:


 * 1) BoosterCroc: Shattered Timelines. The story is still pending to be another instagram comic series or another Youtube series.


 * 1) NewGen Descendants. A story revolving around the adventures of the Warrior Descendants' new generations. Purposely it is not being put under the name of LOSW. It was planned to have six episodes and end with a movie.


 * 1) A new series with the same characters or a reboot.

Activity on other media.
He has an instagram account where he made the Comic Series under the name of LOSW: NEON. He also uses his instagram account to talk to fans and friends.

On Wattpad, he types down new chapters of an online story called Solaris War.

Family
Booster has two parents and a younger sister under the nickname of "Moonclaw". He also named Granny Lye in the series after his late paternal grandmother who passed on in 2012.

Pets
Since May 5th, 2015, Booster has a dog named Zappy (named after his hyperactivity). When Booster got Zappy, he was one year old. He appears as a Shiba Inu in the series, but is actually a tri-coloured Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in real life. He was known to occasionally bark at nights, which affects Booster's concentration in schoolwork and Gacha video projects alike.
