I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist

"Well, okay, I plan to use it to type because I plan to submit a light novel." After all, the two of them have similar schedules. Some things can be hidden from parents, but not from Komachi. Since it will be exposed sooner or later, it is better to say it directly. "What? Submitting a light novel, does Onii-chan mean that you want to become a light novelist?" Komachi was extremely surprised. Hikigaya Hachiman nodded solemnly. "Onii-chan, you are not sick, your brain is broken, don't daydream." Komachi reached out and touched his forehead, testing the temperature. "I'm not sick either." She retracted her little hand and muttered softly. "Because I'm serious." Hikigaya Hachiman reiterated. Komachi looked straight into his eyes, as if confirming something. "Well, since Onii-chan has decided, Komachi will choose to support it. After all, sometimes life also needs the experience of failure, so that the future can go more smoothly." Komachi waved her arm and turned around, leaving only a good-looking profile. "Has Komachi already determined that I failed before we even started?"

He looked unwilling.

"Komachi didn't say that."

As his sister spoke, she whistled.

"Watch out, your Onii-chan will definitely impress you."

After borrowing the money from his sister, Hikigaya Hachiman secretly made up his mind.

One afternoon.

Because the Hikigaya couple worked overtime, they usually came back very late at night, so he found an opportunity to bring the laptop he bought back to his room and put it in a locked drawer.

Before writing light novels, it would be better not to let the Hikigaya couple find out about this, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.

It is worth mentioning that because of reincarnation, his memory has been enhanced, and he has learned a lot of knowledge, so there is no need to worry about his academic performance.

He is confident that he can complete the work of the light novel without delaying his studies.

After dinner.

After locking the door of the room, Hikigaya Hachiman slowly opened his typing tool, and his eyes were shining under the light.

"Well, let's officially start..."

"My life."

3 Full of confidence

After dinner, the Hikigaya couple was washing dishes and cleaning, while the other was reading a newspaper.

The brother and sister sat on the sofa and watched TV.

"By the way, Onii-chan, what exactly is a light novel? I always feel that the definition is very vague. Some time ago, I heard someone say that he bought a BL novel and it was very exciting. What is that?"

Komachi put down the remote control and suddenly turned around and asked.

"Pfft."

Hikigaya Hachiman almost couldn't hold it back.

Are elementary school students so good now? In the past, I would only go to the arcade to play games.

"The so-called light novel is indeed complicated in definition. It can be roughly understood as a novel that can be easily read. It has little to do with the type of subject matter. As for BL novels, it is actually... cough cough."

After he explained, his face was slightly embarrassed.

After listening to Komachi, her face also blushed.

"Well, won't the light novel that Onii-chan is going to write also contain exciting content?"

"Of course not, my goal is to make my official debut, and ordinary publishers will not allow such content to appear directly, and it's not a doujinshi or something."

Hikigaya Hachiman firmly denied it.

He is a serious person!

"By the way, Onii-chan, have you decided what type of light novel to write?"

Komachi changed the subject.

"Probably a work in the style of another world, because this type is easier to write and readers should have a high tolerance."

Of course he has planned it.

"Then, when Onii-chan finishes writing, Komachi will be the first to read it."

Komachi tilted her head, tapped her cheek with her fingers, and said cutely.

"Well, I promise you."

He smiled.

A request from a cute sister is simply impossible to refuse.

There are usually several ways to debut as a light novelist. You can publish your work in the form of a doujinshi and debut after it is well received, or you can recommend your work to the editorial department directly, but these two ways have high requirements and are usually difficult to succeed. The most important way to debut is to debut after getting a ranking or an excellent work in the Rookie Award.

Hikigaya Hachiman decided to submit his work to the Fuzugawa Library because it is one of the three most famous libraries in the industry today. If you enter it, you can have a lot of upper limit space.

Next, he plans to spend a month writing enough satisfactory content to submit to the Rookie Award.

In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.

It has been a while since school started. He is like a passerby heroine who has no sense of existence in the class, but he is not the kind of lonely and withdrawn.

He did this to avoid the situation that the former teacher fell into.

"Hikigaya, how about playing together on the weekend?"

Occasionally, someone would want to play with him, but he would refuse out of politeness, and fully grasp the distance between classmates and friends in interpersonal communication.

Apart from that, he didn't care about anything related to school at all. He was completely focused on the light novel debut.

"It's done."

After typing the last line, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly seemed to have lost all his strength after getting over his excitement. He lay down on the big bed next to him, his expression still full of excitement.

After his unremitting efforts during this period, he finally completed this great masterpiece. He is very confident about it, because it took a lot of effort on his part to create a work that is in line with his own wishes, and it will naturally be well received!

After all, he has been reading novels for many years, and he feels that he is well versed in this art, and he writes like a master.

Just wait and see, his Hikigaya name will become famous in the industry soon!

…

"Komachi, how do you feel?"

As agreed, he immediately gave his work to Komachi to read.

"Um, I've never read a light novel. Is this how it feels? I always feel that this style is not to my liking..."

Turning the document to the end, Komachi felt slightly ashamed and hesitated to speak.

Hikigaya Hachiman's heart skipped a beat.

Looking at his sister's expression, he knew what her true evaluation was.

But he obviously feels that his writing is good, and readers will like it, right?

As a result, did he feel too good?

"Onii-chan, that's not what I meant. Don't take it too seriously. I don't understand this kind of thing, so there is no need to refer to my opinion... It's just that I think the story written by Onii-chan doesn't read well. In line with the relaxed feeling, well, the text is a little heavy.”

Komachi is also good at observing words and expressions. After noticing his expression, he immediately chose to use a more reasonable statement.

"Well, I understand. There is no possibility of retreating now. How about the writing? Why not let the readers evaluate it."

Hikigaya Hachiman forced himself to calm down and showed a forced smile.

"Come on, Onii-chan! I will always support you!"

Komachi raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

Although he felt a little uneasy, he still logged into the Immortal River Library Newcomer Awards website and posted all the contents of the volume he had written.

The Newcomer Award is held in units of three months, and preliminary reviews are held four times a year. The awards are divided into the Most Excellent Award, the Excellence Award and the Excellent Work Award.

The medal for the best excellence award is 1 million yen, the excellence award is 500,000 yen, and the masterpiece award is only 100,000 yen.

Generally speaking, only masterpieces and above can be eligible for publication, so he does not expect to win an excellence award, as long as he can be evaluated as a masterpiece.

He had high expectations for himself before, thinking that writing light novels was just that, as long as he had the skills!

But Komachi's performance just now undoubtedly gave him a shot of prevention, causing him to secretly lower his evaluation of himself.

4 Overestimating yourself is a common problem among humans

Hikigaya Hachiman gave his work a fancy name that is more in line with industry stereotypes - "About me becoming a god-killing hero in another world."

Although there are some references to several different world animations he has watched, the content is basically his original work.

He couldn't get any feedback for a while, and it took time to get attention. He originally planned to wait a day and then check the situation.

The result was after lying down for half an hour.

"Can't sleep at all."

Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the familiar ceiling in a daze.

After a few more minutes, I couldn't help but turn on the light, sit up straight, and turn on my phone to take a look at the situation.

A few more clicks, but no comments yet.

"Maybe you're watching?"

He thought to himself.

With anxiety and urgency, he fell asleep again.

"Go to sleep, go to bed."

He forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart and hypnotized himself so as not to delay school tomorrow.

As a result, he suffered from insomnia.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, but Komachi was the one who woke him up when he got up.

"Onii-chan, you have dark circles under your eyes. Could it be that you stayed up late?"

Komachi pointed this out.

"Insomnia."

Hikigaya Hachiman said honestly, "I was so excited about posting a book yesterday that I accidentally pulled myself in and couldn't fall asleep for a long time."

"Hehe, it's so rare for Onii-chan to be confused."

Komachi chuckled.

"Let's walk to school today."

To avoid accidents, he gave up the idea of ​​riding a bicycle to school today.

In classrooms.

"ha……"

Hikigaya Hachiman yawned and took out his cell phone.

He didn't have time just now, but now that he has free time, he still pays attention to how his light novel is doing.
