I, hikigaya, am just a light novel writer

This story doesn't belong to me, I'm just translating it. If you want to help me, follow me on my patreon. patreon.com/Rayden103

It will take time to get feedback for a while, and it takes time to get attention. He originally planned to wait a day to see the situation.

But after lying down for half an hour.

"I can't sleep at all."

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

After a few minutes, he couldn't help but turn on the light, sit up straight, and open his phone to check the situation.

There were a few more clicks, but there was no comment.

"Maybe it's watching?"

He thought to himself.

With an anxious and urgent mood, he fell asleep again.

"Go to bed quickly, go to bed quickly."

He forced himself to suppress the impulse in his heart and hypnotized himself not to be late for school tomorrow.

As a result, he couldn't sleep.

He didn't know when he fell asleep. In any case, it was Komochi who woke him up when he got up.

"Onii-chan, you have dark circles under your eyes. Did you stay up late?"

Komochi pointed out that.

"I can't sleep."

Hikigaya Hachiman said honestly, "I was too excited about the book distribution yesterday and didn't pay attention to myself. I couldn't sleep for a long time."

"Hehe, it's rare to see you so confused."

Komochi laughed.

"Let's walk to school today."

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

In the classroom.

"Ha..."

Hikigaya Hachiman yawned and took out his cell phone.

He didn't have time right now, but now that he has some free time, he's paying attention to the progress of his light novel.

What surprised him was that the bottom showed that there were finally comments.

For creators, especially new creators like him, it's good to have one more interactive comment, and it's better to be recognized.

The most feared thing is, of course, that no one will care.

But when he opened the comments and saw what these readers had said, his face suddenly darkened.

These guys are too arrogant!

"I don't understand. What does the author want to express? It's written in the clouds. Is he showing off his writing skills or something?

"It feels like reading a textbook. There are too many preachy lines.

"I thought it was a refreshing article, but it didn't meet my expectations. Bad review.

"The author must be a newbie, right? Some plots can be handled very simply, but they are very complicated.

"Don't dream, you're not good at writing light novels.

"I suggest you observe how others write. I recommend it..."

"What an ugly article, lots of personal belongings, the author must be having a bad life, right? 』

『What the hell did you write? It's nonsense. Go back to the countryside and raise pigs...! 』

Hikigaya Hachiman read all the comments and immediately became angry.

He felt that his life was being denied him, that he was worthless, and that he felt like he was falling into an abyss.

"But even if I write badly, you shouldn't criticize me like that!"

He felt like his heart was broken. He was so upset that he wanted to vent and take revenge.

『NMSL, WSND.』

There was an extra sentence in the chat reply box.

"Forget it."

But after enduring it for a while, he still silently deleted it.

If he were to argue with these people, he would be completely talentless and immoral, and he couldn't win against them with his weak strength.

And so, Hikigaya Hachiman went to class in a depressed mood.

I was in a bad mood and didn't sleep well last night. As a result, I accidentally fell asleep during the homeroom teacher's lecture. What was even more terrible was that I was discovered and punished to stand up. It can be said that misfortunes never come alone.

This incident caused the presence of the individual called "Hikigaya Hachiman" to increase by at least 10 percentage points. Even several classmates who knew each other in class used this incident to make fun of him.

"Sure enough, I'm just a waste. I had a failed life in my previous life. This time I deliberately chose a simpler path, but it still didn't work? Even the first level is so difficult…"

Hikigaya Hachiman lay on the desk, feeling very depressed.

Besides, it's really stupid not to use the precious memories in my mind when I can obviously borrow them to maintain my reputation.

I can completely describe myself as "a mediocre person with proud bones."

After a period of regret.

"No! I can't think like that! I haven't even turned 13 in this life, why are you talking about success and failure?"

He supported his body with both hands and suddenly became full of energy.

Believe in yourself and you can become a future warrior!

One day, I will prove to those haters with facts that you shouldn't look down on poor young people!

At noon, after lunch.

He logged into the Fuzugawa Bunko Newcomer Award page again. He didn't look at his own information, but looked at other people's entries to see if there was anything worth learning.

It turned out that he had committed the sin of arrogance before he started writing, thinking that he had talent. After waking up, he began to feel grounded.

He casually swiped the page and saw a work with good data. The title of the book was "The Reincarnation of the Fairy King", and the author's name was...

"Hmm? Fairy Yamada?"

Hikigaya Hachiman rubbed his eyes, thinking he had read it wrong, and reconfirmed.

Could it be the one in his memory?

With some curiosity, he clicked on the work page. Because of the limited time for lunch break, he planned to take a look at the situation in the other party's comment area first.

It turned out that the comment area below this book was almost the same as his comment area, with all kinds of disparaging comments popping up one after another, but the two authors handled it differently.
