Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Doujinshi Artist

Yes, literally 'nuclear peace'.

In the previous war, the aggressor, Takashi, was too arrogant.

Even after their mainland was invaded and three mushroom clouds dropped on them, they still chose to arm all citizens and fight to the death.

As a result, they still wouldn't give up.

The so-called 'final resistance' meant that all citizens were armed.

They truly organized an enormous army, dragging all the old, weak, sick, and young onto the battlefield.

It was a terrifying and unprecedented battle.

This was so astonishing that it drew the combined efforts of the entire world against them.

Bear Country, closely following Rice Country, developed their own mushroom bombs, and the two major nations dropped dozens of mushroom bombs on Takashi.

The mushrooms ignited volcanoes and triggered chain earthquakes.

A terrifying magnitude 9 earthquake destroyed the entire Takashi.

Under the effects of volcanic ash, it was completely transformed into a forbidden land for living creatures.

Even today, decades later, it has not recovered.

...

...

This meant that the anime that was once familiar was also gone.

"So, I can make a little money now?"

Naoya was a bit surprised after learning all of this.

Without this major anime country, and with the influence of the West, a style of hard-boiled anime had formed domestically.

That is, a style similar to DC comics.

In comparison, various cute girls took a backseat.

The only ones who could truly compete were those doujinshi artist.

In such a materialistic society, only these 'assets' had warmth, capable of warming the hearts of all shut-ins.

However, the novels and comics produced by these doujinshi artist completely disregarded any plot, being quite simple and crude—

Rescued the female lead from bad guys, then had a go.

Fixed the female lead's computer, then had a go.

Accompanied the female lead on an outing, then had a go.

And so on, Naoya felt like he was reading an ero manga. If this continued, even a case of nutrient drinks wouldn't be enough!

However, these low-quality books sold extremely well in the market.

"Cultural classification is really a good thing, allowing these books to appear openly and honestly."

Naoya opened a few of the top-ranking anime series and felt a bit helpless to complain.

These anime series had no plot whatsoever, purely selling sex, and had been criticized by the authorities more than once.

But these were prevalent in the market and had been repeatedly banned without success.

This gave people a very deep prejudice against the second dimension; many elderly people believed it was something that corrupted children.

"Fortunately, I'm a light novel author!"

Naoya's eyes suddenly lit up at this thought.

As a light novel author, he had diligently studied why various anime series became popular.

Now, all the previously popular anime series had disappeared—

"I seem to be about to take off, flying up to the sky and standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun!"

The second dimension market in this world had long been dominated by the West.

Making Western protagonists mainstream.

In contrast, even domestically, this was the case.

Naoya suddenly felt a heavy burden.

He could completely rely on his vast reserve of anime series to adapt them into an authentic Chinese style.

Allowing the domestic market to develop, to launch a cultural trend that would sweep the Western world.

Buzz!

Just then, she suddenly saw a panel pop up in her mind:

[Name]: Naoya

[Existence Value]: 250

[Skills]: Writer (Beginner)

It was clearly a system common in novels.

"Oh, I didn't expect to get such a cliché system myself."

Naoya couldn't help but mock himself.

When he used to read novels, he always wondered when he would get a golden finger.

Now he finally got his wish, but the problem was—

Why did it turn him into a loli?

Naoya felt a slight headache and helplessly began to check the many items in the system store.

In the system store, there was a series of redeemable items.

These items included countless skill cards, such as writer, singer, dancer, screenwriter, photography, and all other professional skill cards.

Most importantly, it also had exchanges for various anime series!

one piece, attack on titan, one-punch man, and more—anime that didn't exist in this world were all displayed on the list.

Novels, manga, animation, music, and everything else were included.

Just by looking at these skill cards, Naoya realized that her path as a plagiarist would be smooth sailing!

Buzz!

"Next, abilities will be drawn from various anime characters!"

To her surprise, a Newbie Gift Pack (Newbie Gift Pack) was also included.

"Not bad, unlike other systems that are so stingy."

Naoya praised the system with a pleased expression.

This newbie gift pack allowed her to randomly acquire an ability belonging to a character from a certain anime.

Saitama, Gilgamesh, Lelouch, Tatsumaki, and other characters flashed by.

"Give me Gilgamesh; that way, I can completely solve all problems with money power!" Naoya looked at the various abilities with great envy.

As for Saitama, she decided against it; she didn't want to go bald.

The turntable began to spin rapidly, the pointer sweeping past one famous anime character after another, finally stopping on one person.

That person was—

Railgun!

The protagonist of the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun, the third-ranked among Academy City's only seven espers.

Known as the "Strongest and Invincible Electric Princess" and "Tokiwadai's Ace," she was called "Onee-sama" by countless people—Misaka Mikoto!

"The electric light dancing on your fingertips is my eternal faith!"

After acquiring Railgun's ability, Naoya looked at the electric light flickering on her fingertips and uttered this profound statement.

Although she didn't get Railgun as a wife, she gained her abilities.

If it really came down to it, she could completely act as her own wife.

Anyway, both of them were flat-chested—

She always felt that sentence sounded a bit strange.

Naoya shook her head and began to prepare for her next task.

She looked at the novel on her computer, which was the work she had written earlier, intending to enter the Dimensional Home Light Novel Competition.

Dimensional Home, this was the largest light novel publisher in Japan.

Not just light novels.

From novels to manga, and then to animation—a one-stop service that crushed all other companies.

Dimensional Home held an annual competition every year.

Once one secures a top three spot, they are almost guaranteed to debut as a well-known up-and-coming light novel author.

The previous Naoya had intended to participate in such an important competition.

"He actually wrote about the bromance forged between muscular brothers on the battlefield—get lost!"

After reading it, Naoya unhesitatingly chose to delete the novel she had written tens of thousands of words for.

If she continued writing like that, she seriously doubted whether she would open the door to a new world.

Even if she turned into a loli, she firmly preferred cute girls.

Sweet, soft, cute girls were the best!

She looked at the myriad of skill card choices in the shop and finally decided on the first anime she would plagiarize—

No, it was the first anime she would draw inspiration from.

eromanga sensei!
