I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist.

"Onii-chan, are you sick? Your brain is broken. Stop daydreaming."

Komachi reached out and touched his forehead, testing the temperature.

"You're not sick either."

She took back her little hand and muttered softly.

"Because I mean it."

Hikigaya Hachiman reiterated.

Komachi looked directly at him, as if confirming something.

"Well, since Onii-chan has decided, then Komachi will choose to support it. After all, sometimes life also requires the experience of failure, so that the future can go more smoothly."

Komachi waved his arms and turned away, leaving only a beautiful side face.

"Has Komachi already decided that I failed before I even started?"

He looked unwilling.

"Komachi didn't say that."

My sister whistled as she spoke.

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

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

one afternoon.

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

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

It is worth mentioning that because of his 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 on the light novel without delaying his studies.

After dinner.

After Hikigaya Hachiman locked the door to the room, he slowly opened his coding tool. Under the light, his eyes shone brightly.

"Then, let's officially begin..."

"My life."

3 full of confidence

After dinner, one of the Hikigaya couple was washing the dishes and the other was reading the newspaper.

The brother and sister were sitting on the sofa watching 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 I bought a BL novel and it was very exciting. What is it?"

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

"puff."

Hikigaya Hachiman almost lost his temper.

Are all primary school students today so good?In the past, the most I could do was go to the arcade to play games.

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

After he explained, his face looked slightly embarrassed.

After hearing this, Komachi's face turned red.

"Well, the light novel that Onii-chan is going to write will also have exciting content, right?"

"Of course not. My goal is to make my official debut. Most publishing houses will not allow such content to appear directly. It is not a doujinshi or anything like that."

Hikigaya Hachiman firmly denied.

He is a decent man!

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

Komachi changed the subject.

"It's probably an isekai-style work, because it's easier to write in this genre and readers' tolerance should be very high."

Of course he planned it.

"Then, after Onii-chan finishes writing, Komachi wants to be the first person to read it."

Komachi tilted his head, tapped his cheek with his finger, and said cutely.

"Well, I promise you."

he laughed.

The request from my lovely sister is simply impossible to refuse.

There are usually several ways to make a debut as a light novelist. You can publish your works in the form of doujinshi and make your debut after being widely praised, or you can directly recommend your works to the editorial department. However, these two ways are very demanding. Usually It is difficult to succeed. The most important way to debut is to debut after getting a ranking or a masterpiece in the Newcomer Award.

Hikigaya Hachiman decided to submit his manuscript to Fusigawa Bunko because it is one of the three most famous libraries in the industry today. If you enter it, you can have a large upper limit.

Next, he plans to spend a month writing content that is satisfactory enough to submit for the Newcomer Award.

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

It has been a while since school started, and he is like a stranger who has no sense of presence in the class, but he is not the kind who is alone and seems to be withdrawn.

He did this to avoid the situation that his former great teacher found himself in.

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

Occasionally, someone would want to play with him, but he would refuse out of politeness. He had a good grasp of the distance between classmates and friends in interpersonal interactions.

Other than that, he didn't care about school-related matters at all. He was entirely focused on making his light novel debut.

"finished."

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 lighthearted feel, well, the writing 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 100 million yen, the excellence award is 50 yen, and the masterpiece award is only 10 yen.

Generally speaking, only masterpieces and above can be qualified 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.

Results 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.

"what……"

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.

To his surprise, the background display finally showed comments.

For creators, especially new creators like him, it is good to have one more interactive comment, and it is best to be recognized.

Of course, the biggest fear is that no one cares.

But when he opened the comments and saw what these readers were talking about, his face suddenly darkened.
