I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist

Becoming an animation author can be regarded as a milestone for light novelists. Not only can it increase the sales of the novel, but it can also earn enough royalties.

By then, he will have more confidence to be independent.

"I don't know what the animated version of "Summer Returns" will be like in this world..."

He was curious.

…

The next time Hikigaya Hachiman saw Goruri Ruri was the day before the Comic Exhibition. Her eyes looked like she was trying to destroy a god with magic, and her whole body exuded an unapproachable chill.

"It seems I haven't offended her, right?"

As for why this happened, he didn't understand it for the time being. He could only think that the girl had reached a certain stage.

Even though the tone changed slightly, the two sides still maintained a normal conversation.

"Hikigaya, Comic Con, are you going?"

Wu Geng Liuli was the first to make the invitation.

"If there's nothing urgent, I should go there. I can buy some interesting doujinshi there occasionally."

he replied.

"However, I won't help you with setting up a stall this time."

Hikigaya Hachiman's ugly words are ahead.

"I don't need you anymore! You're just a mortal. I...I can deal with it as I please."

Feeling a little ashamed, Wu Geng Liuli withdrew part of her power.

"By the way, how's the newcomer award going?"

He suddenly thought.

60 suggestions

"Well, it was ranked ninth some time ago. Recently, a book called "Metronome of Love" jumped out at me."

Wu Geng Liuli answered while opening the website of the Newcomer Award, and saw the work "Metronome of Love" at first glance.

"Is it already third place? It seems like this person is also submitting for the first time. It's great to have talent. You can write good works easily."

There was a sour taste in her words.

The more you experience it, the more you realize that there are so many unfair ways in life!

Seeing the girl's appearance, Hikigaya Hachiman could probably guess what the girl's expression would be like if she saw Nayuta's treatment.

At this time, of course he would not talk about this kind of thing in front of her without emotional intelligence.

"I do agree with that."

He nodded and continued, "If you are ranked tenth, it will be a bit dangerous to make your debut. Although whether or not you win in the end depends mainly on the judgment of the editors, data is still the basis."

"I know that if you can't pass, just wait until next time."

Wu Geng Liuli sighed.

Reality is gradually smoothing the edges of the self-reliant girl.

"Even if you don't pass, you're close enough."

Hikigaya Hachiman consoled him.

"Uh-huh."

Wu Geng Liuli looked up at him and then nodded.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

On the first day of the comic exhibition, Hikigaya Hachiman and Gogen Ruri made an appointment to go out.

However, today's Wugen Liuli is different from usual. She is wearing a dark Gothic lolita costume and gray stockings on her feet, which is closer to the two-dimensional style.

"cosplay?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"This is the Night Stalker Queen's costume."

Wu Geng Liuli answered the question incorrectly.

"It doesn't matter, but are you going to wear this outfit to the Comic Con? It should be very hot."

He looked up at the sky, blocking the sun with one hand.

"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, I will open the curtain of demonic energy to protect myself from light and heat."

The girl said.

"oh."

His expression was indifferent.

It's midsummer, which can be said to be the hottest period of the year. Even in the morning, you can feel the sun shining down from the sky is quite hot.

However, such an environment still could not stop the enthusiasm of the otakus, who flocked to the Tokyo International Exhibition Center one after another and formed a long queue early in the morning.

"Fortunately, I can take another path, otherwise my demonic curtain might not be able to withstand such heat."

Wu Geng Liuli glanced at the long queue and said quietly.

After all, it was not the first time for the two of them, so they just sighed at the crowd and then came to the rented stall.

"I'm going to go shopping and come back later."

After the official start, Hikigaya Hachiman left the stall and let Oh Geng solve the problem on his own.

The last time he went to sell doujinshi, he actually didn't go to the comic exhibition properly, so he missed a lot.

In fact, the comic exhibition is very big, with many areas in total. In addition to selling personal doujinshi, there are also special game clubs displaying their latest games, as well as company exhibitions, and ones dedicated to COSER. A place to take photos.

Hikigaya Hachiman was dazzled all the way because he had not seen many things.

Half an hour passed quickly.

He accidentally came to another area, where the gaming club sells games.

Soon, he noticed a fan game club called egoistic-lily.

In Hikigaya Hachiman's impression, this is a club specially formed for Eiriri by her mother.

"so good."

He was a little envious of this kind of family affection, which was something he had never really felt before.

He waited for a while and bought the fan game egoistic-lily was selling.

Of course, this is only as a reward and is by no means used to generate electricity!

Of course, he really likes Kashiwagi Eri's paintings.

I bought some games and doujinshi, and when Hikigaya Hachiman got bored, he returned to the stall.

The pile of books on the long table was much smaller than before he left, which showed that Wu Geng had indeed grown up and was not as unkind as before.

"Well done, it seems you have adapted."

He entered the stall and placed the filled plastic bags haphazardly on the table.

"It's just to confuse mere mortals."

Wu Geng Liuli said with contempt.

Just when Hikigaya Hachiman returned to the stall, a familiar customer arrived.

Ying Lili still looks the same as at the last comic show, disguised with a hat and glasses to look pretty.

"It's you?"

Wu Geng Liuli also had an impression of such a person.

"Let me see how your new work goes."

Yinglili acted indifferently and reached out to pick up the fan novel and read it.

"This time, it's okay."

She gave her true evaluation, then took out a thousand yen and bought two copies like last time.

"Could this guy's subtext be that my writing was actually poor last time?"

Although she made money, Wu Geng Liuli felt a little unhappy.

On the morning of the first day, around noon, a total of 400 fan fiction books were sold out.

This time Wu Geng Liuli's fan fiction sales have doubled compared to the last time, and it is even higher than the two had expected.

"It's probably because the readers preached after they returned home."

He judged it.

“There are indeed many old faces among the people who come to buy books.”

Wu Geng Liuli thought about it for a moment.

"Let's keep up the good work next time."

He gave a blessing.

In the evening, Hikigaya Hachiman logged into the Fusugawa Bunko Newcomer Award webpage for the first time in a long time.

He was somewhat interested in what Wu Geng Liuli said about "Metronome of Love". This was of course because he had an impression of Kasumigaoka Shiu, the creator of this work.

The first volume of "Metronome of Love" features only Naoto and Sayuka. The plot tells a short story about two people who met and fell in love. The content fully reflects the imagination of adolescent girls about love. The dreamlike description makes people feel unreal. Beautiful, it can be completely defined as a 'science fiction' novel.

If we define it in simpler terms...

"It's completely a YY article, and it's full of loopholes."

After reading it, Hikigaya Hachiman made an evaluation.

As a light novelist with a solid foundation, he could see that the look and feel of "Metronome of Love" was only supported by Kasumigaoka Shiu's literary talent. However, it would be easy to encounter bottlenecks in this way.

The current popularity is so high because the first volume is indeed well written, but that's all. If you want the second volume to continue this look and feel, the difficulty will increase sharply.

He couldn't help but feel a little pity, this was obviously a waste of his talent.

In his opinion, although Kasumigaoka Shiu's creative acumen is inferior to Miss Yamada's, her writing style is quite outstanding, definitely at the level of 'super high school level'. Overall, the two are about the same.

Don't think this review is bad.

You must know that although Ms. Yamada's combat effectiveness is somewhat inflated, relying on the advantages of some subjects and the full assistance of Elmy, as a best-selling author with sales of more than one million, she is already quite rare in the industry.

It is worth mentioning that Ms. Yamada’s talents have not been fully utilized. If she works hard enough, her combat effectiveness will not appear to be inflated.

"Da da da……"

Hikigaya Hachiman thought for a while, typed a text, and sent out the suggestions he had thought up.

For now, that's all he can do.

Since his account has been verified, his comments quickly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone worked hard to push his comments to the top.

"Look who this is! I've caught you, old thief Yuexi!"

"Reading romance novels secretly, right? Fortunately, I took a look at the comment section, otherwise I would have missed it."

"Everyone, please help me to lift Teacher Yuese up so that the author can see this message."

"Why don't you go and write the seventh volume! Who asked you to secretly read the novel!"

"No wonder I always feel like something is wrong after watching "Metronome of Love". Now that Teacher Yueze said this, I roughly understand."

"Who are you? Do you like to teach others?"

"The author's achievements are good and he will most likely make a debut in the future. I hope he can listen to the opinions of the old thieves. Otherwise, it would be a pity if his debut is cut short."

Just a few days later, the author of "Metronome of Love" logged into his author account.
