I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist

The Yamada Fairy was also used to his attitude, so she hummed softly and said: "I just have time to share my writing experience with you today. It would be too tiring to type, so thank you to me! You are face to face with a beautiful girl like me. Chatting, there are very few opportunities like this in life.”

Not really.

Hikigaya Hachiman retorted in his mind.

The illustrator Eromanga who often video chats with him is the same beautiful girl.

But such words felt inexplicably showing off, so he chose to acquiesce.

The two began to discuss issues just like they had in the text chat before, with no differences or barriers at all, just like they were familiar with each other.

That's not right, they just know each other very well.

"Hikigaya, what do you think I should do with this plot?"

Yamada Fairy explained to him a problem he encountered.

To put it simply, it is a Shura field theater, where the first female lead and the second female lead have a conflict. It is a plot that everyone likes to see in harem works.

As someone who read a lot of otaku culture works in his previous life, although Hikigaya Hachiman's own abilities are not very strong, his theory is not bad, and he has seen a lot of ways to deal with this situation, so he quickly gave his own answer .

"Hikigaya, your opinion is very important to me. Now I feel that agreeing to make progress together with you is not a bad thing."

After listening to his analysis, Fairy Yamada adopted his opinion and expressed appreciation.

"By the way, I read the second volume of "Summer Returns" and found that you have made a lot of progress. You don't have the B-level skill of 'diligence can make up for weakness', right?"

"What kind of skill is this! It's completely meaningless!"

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but complain.

"By the way, talking about your "Summer Returns", there are some parts that are too obscure to be understood..."

Yamada Fairy's eyes suddenly wandered and he said vaguely, "Well, it's not that I don't understand enough, I just think it's more appropriate for you, the author, to tell it."

Hikigaya Hachiman understood this sentence clearly.

Ms. Yamada actually made this dumpling for this dish of vinegar, and the previous topics were just excuses.

"Tell me, Miss Yamada, if there is anything you don't understand, I can explain it to you."

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't answer her call and just said this.

"Probably..."

Fairy Yamada couldn't wait to ask questions that he didn't understand while reading.

These questions were more numerous and superficial than he had imagined.

In fact, it is not surprising. Ms. Yamada has only graduated from elementary school for one year, and her creations are simple and straightforward. Naturally, she has difficulty understanding this type of subject matter.

Hikigaya Hachiman was surprised to be fascinated under such circumstances.

It can only be said that some excellent stories will have a considerable degree of charm even if their understanding is shallow.

Although Ms. Yamada always had an unruly attitude, she was surprisingly well-behaved when she listened to his story.

If you like "Summer Returns", you support him, which is equivalent to being a fan.

Hikigaya Hachiman, who realized this, also tried his best to tell her the whole story without spoiling it. This gave Yamada Fairy a refreshing feeling, and he realized more of the charm of "Summer Returns".

"I will sort it out next."

Yamada Fairy covered his head and interrupted the video call.

The girl is ready to read it carefully again.

A few days later, Fairy Yamada suddenly sent another message.

Surprising frequency.

"Are you asking about the novel again?"

Hikigaya Hachiman made a guess in his mind, but the message from Miss Yamada really surprised him.

Elementary School Fairy: Hey, hey, Hikigaya, are you there?

Me: What’s wrong?

Elementary School Fairy: Did you hear that? Recently, a super cool newcomer has appeared in your Immortal River Library! Compared with her, you are a complete weakling.

Me: Why are you comparing yourself to me? ? ?

Me: I’ve been busy writing novels recently and haven’t cared about these things, but is it really that powerful? It makes you look so shocked.

Elementary School Fairy: This one is no longer the most powerful one. I just went to the Immortal River Library website to take a look, and an announcement has been made. She sold more than 30,000 copies in the first week!

"ah?"

Hikigaya Hachiman was immediately startled and almost thought he had seen it wrong.

If it's one of those super-popular works, forget it, but if it's a complete newcomer, it's really beyond imagination!

It was enough to shock him!

"Is that person...?"

Hikigaya Hachiman thought of a person's name inexplicably.

He quickly opened the webpage and took a look, and found that the person Miss Yamada was talking about was indeed the person he expected - Senjumura Sei.

Since the Yamada Fairy exists in this world, it is reasonable for the other party to appear. In fact, it will appear later than he expected.

In my memory, the other party debuted around the same time as Ms. Yamada. Could it be some kind of butterfly effect?

After confirming this, Hikigaya Hachiman continued chatting with Ms. Yamada.

Me: I’ve seen this news. It’s really impressive. Such sales should be unique for newcomers, right?

Elementary school goblin: To be able to surpass me, this newcomer really has two skills! But that’s because I didn’t care about this kind of thing, otherwise I could have set a new record!

Seeing this reply, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Me: That’s alright, Ms. Yamada, there is a limit to bragging.

Yamada Fairy: What do you know? My goal is to become a super light novelist that surpasses the sales volume of those comics! Such a record is nothing, after all, I have no chance to prove it, so feel free to be sarcastic.

According to Hikigaya Hachiman's understanding of Miss Yamada, she actually meant what she said, although it did seem like she was dreaming.

But for people with such dreams, they should also be given some respect.

If you can think things that ordinary people dare not think of, you are not a madman, you are a true genius.

After the conversation, Hikigaya Hachiman wanted to devote himself to writing again, but found that his heart could not calm down at all.

Because his mind was completely focused on other things.

The Senju Village Conquest has achieved incredible achievements. Although Ms. Yamada disapproves of it verbally, she will definitely value it as much as he does.

Even if we are still unsure about the future, at least the quality of this opening chapter has surpassed everyone in the industry. What kind of work will be created by someone with such talent?

Not to mention readers, even an author like him can't help but be curious, right?

This night, Hikigaya Hachiman had some insomnia. He did not write any more, but waited for the arrival of tomorrow.

The next day, after breakfast.

Hikigaya Hachiman went to a nearby bookstore. After asking, he found that the work was sold out and the shop owner was ordering it. It would take some time.

He had no choice but to buy from a larger bookstore. Finally, he caught up with the newly arrived batch of goods and purchased the work titled "The Legend of the Fantasy Demon Sword".

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't wait to turn the pages and read, so he directly found a bench in a small garden by the roadside and sat down.

"Fantasy Demon Sword" is a novel about campus supernatural combat. It is an imaginary world and is not much different from another world. Therefore, first of all, it has a basis for its popularity among the audience.

But that’s just the basics, the most important thing is the quality of the work itself!

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't read for long before he became addicted to the story.

The setting of this light novel is not particularly attractive. The setting is probably that of swordsmen. For example, there is a profession called swordsmen in this world, and they control weapons called demon swords...

It gave him a sense of déjà vu from "The Heroic Story of a Fallen Knight", "Academy City Asterisk" and "Sword User Miko".

The focus is still on the story itself. Qianshou Village uses otherworldly writing and in-depth combat descriptions, as if you are really in this world.

This immersive feeling is hard to extricate yourself from.

The genre of novels itself has considerable disadvantages compared to comics, and it is even worse than animation.

However, the effect achieved by Sei Senjumura's creation and the sense of immersion it brings are not inferior to those of animation.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hikigaya Hachiman would never have imagined that anyone in the world could reach such a point.

The geniuses in this world are a bit too scary.

Even if I spend my whole life pursuing such writing power, I may not be able to match it!

"Why……"

After a long time, there was a faint sigh coming from the small green grass garden.

"Miss Yamada can write such a work? I won't believe it even to death!"

When he got home, he lay down on the sofa directly after entering the door, feeling inexplicably tired.

It seems like the consequences of staying up late are coming.

I slept until noon.

Feeling a conversation coming to his ears, Hikigaya Hachiman slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes in confusion, only to realize the sound coming from the TV.

"Ah, Onii-chan, you finally woke up. If you still can't, you won't be able to have lunch with Komachi."

Komachi squatted half way to the sofa and brought her little face close to her. Her lively smile was soothing.

"That's really a big loss."

He grinned and used both hands to push his body up.

"Hey, Onii-chan, did you still have a light novel in your hand when you were sleeping?"

Komachi stood aside and glanced at the thing in his hand.

Hikigaya Hachiman was a little stunned. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep holding the book.

"Yeah, I just bought the light novel today."

He spoke.

"Fantasy Demon Sword Legend...is it good to watch?"

Komachi saw the name of the light novel clearly, tilted his head and asked.

"Of course it looks good. If I only use a paper pen, I may never be able to catch up with him."

He glanced down and smiled.

If we talk about the plot and story, the results will naturally be different. There are too many outstanding works in the previous life.

"Onii-chan, you are too arrogant! Onii-chan's novels are not selling well, right? And Onii-chan is still young and can definitely write better works."

Komachi pouted and didn't take it seriously, thinking it was his brother's self-effacement.

But it did pique her interest in the work.

"You'll know after you've seen it... Let's eat first, and you can watch it after you finish eating."

Hikigaya Hachiman was about to pass "Fantasy Demon Sword Den" over, but when he thought that lunch time had come, he stopped and went back.

Because he knows that once he reads, his sister will inevitably become addicted and starve if he is not careful.

Komachi listened to his words and started reading this work that put his brother to shame only after lunch.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

Komachi thought her brother was being modest before, but after reading it, she understood that he was serious.

What kind of person could write such a light novel?
