Chapter 4

Yamada Fairy: Okay, I reluctantly accept you. If I have any questions about writing novels in the future, I can talk to you.

Me: Okay, we have a deal. By the way, from now on, call me Hikigaya. This is my last name.

Yamada Fairy: I see. Then you can call me Miss Yamada. Okay, today's chat ends here. I have wasted too much time and went to play game dungeons.

The chat ends here.

Hikigaya Hachiman closed the chat software with a faint smile on his face.

It was a good start.

In a blink of an eye, two months passed.

Since then, he calmed his impetuous heart and did not rush to pursue his debut.

Only by settling can better wine be brewed.

Just like the recommended level written on the game dungeon, since the ability is insufficient, then improve your level and then go through the dungeon.

This statement comes from the communication with Miss Yamada.

Although Miss Yamada only writes novels as a hobby and really likes games, her understanding of light novels is indeed very good.

He felt that his understanding of light novels was much higher. As an equal exchange principle, he also provided ideas that could improve his writing skills, but it seemed that Miss Yamada didn't take it to heart at all.

Yes, for a primary school student, how could she accept his advice and study with peace of mind, not to mention that Miss Yamada has always been obsessed with games and has not had much time to consider how to write light novels. She relies purely on her own spirituality.

The first semester after entering junior high school ended and it was summer vacation.

Hikigaya Hachiman was sitting on the sofa, holding a light novel in his hand and reading it carefully.

This is a popular different world work in recent years. From the reader's perspective, it is a very excellent and refreshing article, but from the author's perspective, to be honest, he doesn't think it's anything.

Is it because he thinks highly of himself?

It shouldn't be.

The vulgar routines and stereotyped systems, plus the beautifully drawn girls, are the factors for the success of this work, and are also the reasons for the success of many works in the industry today.

"Ah, if this is the experience of success, then it's a bit of a headache."

He sighed.

It's not that he looks down on such works, but because such works are too homogeneous, too many people write such works, and the competition is also very fierce. If you can make a name for yourself, you really have to rely on the skills of the illustrator.

It's a very stupid idea to put your hopes on others. He hopes to rely on his own skills, the real ones.

"Onii-chan, what book are you reading?"

Komachi came out of the room, saw him on the sofa, and leaned over.

"Light novel."

He replied.

"Light novel?"

When talking about this, Komachi seemed to remember something and his expression moved.

"By the way, how's the novel written by Onii-chan?"

"Uh, I haven't read it for a while..."

Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his cheek unconsciously, blushing slightly, his eyes wandering.

"Oh, I see, Onii-chan... I'll go out for a while and buy some snacks."

Komachi laughed immediately, and very tactfully didn't ask any more questions, and found an excuse to leave quickly.

As a brother, he was really embarrassed. He had secretly vowed to impress his sister before, but he didn't expect that it would not go smoothly at the beginning, and instead made his sister deepen his impression of him as a useless person.

Not only that, the message he suddenly received next surprised him.

Yamada Fairy: Hikigaya, I'm about to make my official debut!

"Huh?"

The expression on Hikigaya Hachiman's face was simply indescribable.

It's not long since we were in the same boat, how come you have become so successful?

Doesn't this make him look stupid?

7So, let's just plagiarize

It sounds incredible at first that a primary school student can become a debut light novelist.

But if you think about it carefully... well, it's still incredible.

Although there are rumors of geniuses in this world from time to time, it's still shocking when they really appear before your eyes.

Hikigaya Hachiman sorted out his thoughts a little.

"Hey, it shows that it has been read. Why don't you reply? What are you thinking about!"

The prompt sounded again, and Yamada Fairy was urging.

"Congratulations, you have successfully debuted. You just want to hear this from me, right?"

After a period of getting along, they also understood each other's little tempers. He could completely guess the purpose of Miss Yamada's initiative to tell her.

Yamada Fairy: Huh, huh, huh! Are you envious, Hikigaya! This is the difference between me and a small fish like you!

Hikigaya Hachiman silently clenched his fists.

This smug look is really infuriating, a female kid?

To be honest, he was not angry. He could understand that the girl told him the news not to mock him, but to share her joy with him as a friend.

『It's just a step ahead. Who knows who will go further in the future! And it won't be long before I catch up with you. 』

He typed out a reply that he thought was ambitious.

Yamada Fairy: Then I'll wait and see.

Hikigaya Hachiman curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, that's not right. Isn't it too early for the Rookie Award? How did she debut?"

He suddenly thought of this question, so he typed and asked.

Yamada Fairy: Hikigaya, are you stupid? I gave up the Rookie Award of Fuzugawa a long time ago. I said, I just wrote it casually. The "Exploding Dark Fairy" I wrote recently passed the assessment of FULLDRIVE Library.

Me: So fast? ? Is there really nothing fishy?

Yamada Fairy: Humph, it's okay to tell you. My brother is an editor in this library. He introduced me here. Of course, my brother has nothing to do with my passing the debut review. I rely on my own strength, understand?

Miss Yamada confessed this and had a clear conscience.

Hikigaya Hachiman was already familiar with this guy's personality, and naturally believed that she was not lying, so he expressed his envy a little and satisfied her vanity before ending the chat.

"It seems that I'm still not doing well enough..."

Hikigaya Hachiman lowered his hand and looked at the tightly held mobile phone, sighing.

"It's time to start my second creation."

He stood up, looking unusually calm.

After this period of training, he felt that he could solve some of the problems he faced when he wrote a novel for the first time, and create a qualified work to catch up with the opportunity of this year's newcomer award.

"So, what should I write this time?"

During this period of time, he occasionally had free time to think about it, and he thought about this question more than once or twice.

Now, he has finally made up his mind.

"Why not just plagiarize?"

The first attempt to submit a work has undoubtedly ended in failure. In fact, a very important point is that his construction of the plot is not perfect, and the works in his previous life can completely help him avoid this.

Originally, he felt a little guilty, but reality told him that he was just a weak person now and had no capital to be proud.

So, he used a reason to convince himself with self-satisfaction.

Although it was plagiarism, the works he remembered were all animations. If he wanted to describe them in the form of light novels, it was actually equivalent to another kind of originality.

Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

After hypnotizing himself, Hikigaya Hachiman began to think about what kind of work to submit.

It is also necessary to think deeply to choose a work that suits your style from the vast number of works.

Otherwise, even if it is plagiarism, it can't write that kind of feeling, just like being tragically animated.

Perhaps because of the many failed experiences, the style of his writing inevitably has a few more heavy feelings.

He didn't notice it at first, but after hearing everyone's comments, he understood it.

If he wanted to change his writing style easily, his current ability was naturally not enough, so he had to find suitable copywriting works by himself.

A week passed with this thought.

"Hey, I got it!"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was lying on the sofa, looking at the ceiling with his eyes closed and thinking, woke up as if he was dying.

Next to him, Komachi, who was watching TV, was startled and made a defensive move to protect herself.

"What are you doing! Onii-chan, it's scary...!"

The younger sister pouted.

"No, nothing, I just made an important decision. Sorry, I scared you, Komachi."

He scratched his hair and looked apologetic.

"It seems to be a good thing."

Komachi didn't dwell on it, but looked at it sideways, and suddenly a smile broke out on her face.

"Well, I guess so."

He nodded.

"Well, Onii-chan, Komachi will be waiting for your good news."

The clever Komachi immediately understood and put on a cute smile.

"Just wait and see! I'm soaring into the sky!"

Inspired by his emotions, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly became excited.

"Onii-chan... never mind, I won't say anything, as long as you are happy."

Komachi looked at him with a slight disdain and turned away.

"Ahem..."

Hikigaya Hachiman reacted, coughed twice, and his cheeks were slightly red.

Accidentally, the second-year syndrome broke out.

A little shy.

8 "Summer Returns"

The development of otaku culture in this world is similar to the world in memory. Some works exist, but most of them do not. In addition, considering that there may be people in this world who are familiar with memories, he has to confirm the choice of copywriting carefully to avoid some embarrassment.

In his judgment, the works that suit his style are undoubtedly those that are more depressing, serious, and realistic.

There are also many famous works in this style, such as "Magical Girl Madoka Magica", "Anohana", "5 Centimeters per Second", "Your Lie in April", "CLANNAD", "Re: Life in a Different World from Zero", "Steins;Gate" and so on.

It seems a lot, but there are actually very few choices.

First of all, the characteristics of many works are the expression of animation shots and the coordination of music to achieve the appropriate appeal. It is very difficult to describe them with the same effect in light novels.

Of course, this is also due to the difference between the genres of light novels and animation light novels, but at least a certain level of ability is required to write a qualified effect.
