I, hikigaya, am just a light novel writer

『How old is the author? How can a paragraph of several hundred words have 10 grammatical errors? 』

『Could it be that the author is the one who escaped the net of compulsory education? Damn, what kind of crap did you write? 』

『Apart from the author's writing style, at least he understands what everyone wants to see. Those who don't know would think he was watching station P. 』

『The plot development of the classics, the author traveled back from 20 years ago? I was embarrassed to read it. 』

『I laughed at this, but I can't praise the author's level. What kind of fat otaku fantasy article is this? 』

『By the way, after reading it, I feel that the level of this year's Newcomer Award is completely bad. Is the industry going to be ruined? 』

Negative comments accounted for the vast majority, and even the seemingly good reviews were full of yin and yang. However, under these comments, the account called "Yamada Fairy" had a high-intensity interaction and said very nasty things, but the words in it exposed the fact that her mental level was not very high.

Then another heartbreaking comment appeared next.

『Is the author an elementary school student?』

Yamada Fairy commented below——

『What's wrong with being an elementary school student? Who said elementary school students can't write novels?』

Then there were another series of sarcastic comments.

Seeing this, Hikigaya Hachiman's mouth curved into a smile.

There is no doubt that this Yamada Fairy is the Yamada Fairy in her interpretation, the best-selling author who will sell millions of copies in the future.

However, he was still an unknown person and hadn't even completed his debut work.

After reading the comments, he even felt that he was suffering the same as the other party…

He soon got that stupid idea out of his head.

Even if he was down now, he would be a best-selling author in the future.

And himself? Maybe nothing.

"Hehe."

He laughed at himself.

Just as Hikigaya Hachiman was about to close the comments section to see if there were any weak chickens in the same situation as him, he suddenly changed his mind and sent a private message.

"Yamada Fairy-sensei, I've read your novel and I think you're very talented. I hope to have a chance to communicate with you. If you're interested, please add me. My line account is…"

In his failed previous life, he discovered that one of his clumsy things was that he was almost always in a passive situation and rarely took the initiative.

Since he decided not to repeat the same mistakes in this life, he had to make appropriate changes.

As a mediocre person, it might be difficult for him to grasp breakthroughs and improve his creative ability by himself. Perhaps he could seek help from others.

It is also very common for authors to communicate and improve with each other. Even if Yamada Fairy's writing style is criticized, as a best-selling author in the future, he must have something, although it may not be much, just a little bit.

After sending the private message, he secretly took a look at the comment area of ​​other works and found that they all seemed to be no different. Many people were sprayed. There are always some people who reached the peak at their debut. Most people have to fall a few times before they can grow.

For example, the writer who is temporarily ranked first this time is an author who has been submitting for three years. He has not won any awards in the past few times, but this time his new work received great reviews. It can be said that his chance of debuting is very high, as long as there aren't too many dark horses in the next period of time.

After realizing this, Hikigaya Hachiman felt much better.

Maybe he's not a genius, but most people aren't either, and they haven't reached the level where they need to compete with talents.

Therefore, there's no need to be discouraged, and even if you're a useless piece of wood, you have to burn brighter!

The boy secretly clenched his fists and made a decision.

Even if you've been through storms, you must keep going to live up to this life.

Shortly after returning home in the afternoon, Hikigaya Hachiman received a friend request. After clicking to accept, Yamada Fairy immediately sent a message.

"Are you my fan?"

That was the first sentence he said, and he was a little impatient, so he could even see the other person's emotions in that sentence.

If you put yourself in his shoes, if you get recognition, you'll probably feel very happy.

However, the other party obviously misunderstood something.

『Sorry, I'm not your fan.』

After typing that sentence, before he could explain the next step, the other party's reply came quickly.

『Then why did you ask me to add you?』

A question full of resentment, which was obviously different from the attitude just now.

"That's too real."

Hikigaya Hachiman complained in a low voice and continued typing.

『Actually, I'm also a rookie author. I'm currently working hard for the official debut of the novel. The reason I want to communicate is that I think we might have some topics in common and can make progress together. 』

He expressed it in a more friendly way, but that doesn't mean he'll get a friendly response.

『The idea is good, but only weaklings will choose to be together, right? And the level of playing chess with a bad player will get worse and worse. Why should I make progress together with you? 』

He was silent for a while and wanted to type something, but realized he didn't know what to say and his fingers stopped in midair.

"However, since you can see that I will definitely become the savior of the light novel industry in the future, I'll give you this opportunity today to see if you can keep up with me. Tell me, what kind of light novels do you write?"

Then, another message arrived.

Although it was a rebellious tone, it also expressed an attitude.

Hikigaya Hachiman's hands, which couldn't be restrained, suddenly became flexible and sent the address of the new web page he had sent. At that moment, he felt inexplicably nervous. What kind of evaluation will the other party give him? "I'm so shaken by the evaluation of the elementary school students. I'm really depraved." He shook his head and laughed, covering his forehead with his right hand. When Yamada Fairy contacted him again, two hours had already passed. This really shows that the other party is taking the matter seriously. Yamada Fairy: After reading it, to be honest, I'm very disappointed. I can't tell that you're writing a light novel. Except for the slightly acceptable writing style, the rest of the aspects are almost a mess. With your talent, well, you can consider other jobs, don't dream. Hikigaya Hachiman was shocked. He was actually ridiculed by an elementary school student? Although such an evaluation was expected, it was still an unbearable pain in the heart.

Then, he said something stubbornly.

Me: I took a look at your comment area and it seems like the response isn't very good.

Yamada Fairy: How can it be the same? I just wrote casually on a whim. If I take it seriously, it will definitely be different, and I'm still young.

Me: I'm also young, and I'm also a warrior of the future.

Yamada Fairy: Oh? How old are you?

Me: I'll be thirteen in October.

Yamada Fairy: Really? If that's the case, you're only a year older than me, so your writing style is a little better than mine, which is an advantage.

Of course, it's not just a little better. Yamada Fairy's writing style is indeed that of an elementary school student, but he's not. Even if he's a loser, he's lived two lives.

Probably a little better than your average high school student, right?
