[Genshin Impact] I Couldn't Graduate, So I Wrote a Light Novel and Became a Sensation

A frail young woman transmigrates into the world of a game and becomes a student at the Akademiya in Sumeru. Who could have guessed that her advisor would reject her thesis over and over again? After spending all her research funding, she has no choice but to return to Sumeru and rummage through trash cans. Along the way, she even finds Kaveh, the great architect, sleeping on the street. Just when she finally gets through the worst of it, someone reports her for suspicious use of academic funds, and she catches the eye of the Great General Mahamatra, Cyno. Then her Eleazar suddenly gets worse, and she is sent to Gandharva Ville, where her senior Tighnari treats her. Someone, please save her! She'll never graduate at this rate!! Alhaitham glances at the sixth draft of her thesis. “After five revisions, you still haven't gotten it accepted by Yae Publishing House?” The girl breaks down. “Alhaitham! It's a thesis! A thesis!” Eventually, she joins the Sumeru Light Novel Association. Overnight, her thesis, no, her light novels, become bestsellers across the continent. From myths and legends of ancient Sumeru, the bittersweet love story of the Goddess of Flowers and King Deshret, locked in a cycle of love and rivalry, to tales of the golden-haired Traveler who recently appeared in Sumeru City. From a cat on a remote island on the border of Inazuma, waiting for someone who will never return, to a nursery rhyme about the Hydro Dragon Sovereign of Sumeru's neighboring nation, sung by everyone. Love and hatred flow in graceful turns beneath her pen. Lesser Lord Kusanali: When I read her words, I feel a little sense of familiarity. Even if I can't remember why, they bring me comfort. Traveler Aether: Fushta, you're not from Teyvat, are you? If you keep writing about me, I'll have no choice but to confiscate your pen. Yae Miko sighs in admiration. “Fushta, you were born for this. When are you coming to work at Yae Publishing House? We'll provide room and board.” Fushta: “You're not trying to trick me, are you? Boohoo, if I'm really that good, why hasn't my thesis been approved yet?” Yae Miko: “Wake up. You're already Yae Publishing House's most profitable author. You could sleep on a pile of Mora and never have to worry about money.” Once Fushta comes to her senses, she decides to buy the Akademiya. Then Sumeru City. Then a Harbinger. She even nearly buys a god. [Reader's Guide] > This isn't a lore deep dive. I'll make things up as needed for the story, and the source material is still being updated, so some details may be contradicted later. Thanks for your understanding. > The male lead is Aether! One-on-one romance, with both sides completely devoted to each other. Apart from canon couples and relationships with officially confirmed romantic overtones, including Alice and her husband, and the Goddess of Flowers and King Deshret, all other character relationships are platonic. Please check out my upcoming story, The Cult Leader's Work Diary, also known as I'll Save the World Through Sacrifice! Gods truly exist. They grant the deepest desires in people's hearts, no matter how terrible those desires may be. Narcissa is one such “god.” Aside from a game manual, she has no idea what she's supposed to do next. Hauling bricks in a morgue? Sure. This open-world game is way too open. She hears the corpses praying... The day the dead rose in the morgue, she got fired. With no other choice, she went to haul bricks for real. As her physique stat reaches its limit, she suddenly splits in two. Narcissa and her other self stare at each other. This game is pretty interesting!! “You, go apply to be a manager at Lobotomy Corporation and support me,” Narcissa says, pointing at her other self. “I'll research how to spread the faith and ascend to godhood.” A mysterious atmosphere is spreading through the city. Maxwell has found a truly supernatural power. He and Charlie agree that the Shadow Magic Book is no longer a useful tool. They might as well offer it to “God.” The contained Abnormalities sing the same name in their dreams. Hounds hunting heretics are on their way. None of that matters. Narcissa has just one goal: Ascend, ascend, and ascend again! This story mainly draws on the settings of Cultist Simulator and Lobotomy Corporation. It also uses some of Don't Starve's background lore, but it won't venture into the Shadowlands. If you haven't played any of these three games, don't worry about getting lost. The protagonist hasn't played them either (doge.jpg), and she'll be even more panicked than you are. > Narcissism: the male lead is the female protagonist after mitosis and a gender change. True self-love. > The first line of the blurb is translated from a Reddit writing prompt. Theme: A good-for-nothing is just a genius in the wrong place!
