I get that she doesn’t want to “lose” to Tomoka at being “special” so she doesn’t lose Ayu. (The misunderstanding finally come into play!)
However, in the previous chapter she also just thought that Ayu has no interest in novel or publishing.
This contradiction is IMO a good sign of Hikari’s character development and relationship with Ayu.
Even though in hindsight it really was a nothing comment, especially had she taken a step back and remember Ayu’s reaction just a moment ago, the misunderstanding causes worry that blinds her and fuels her drive to write something special.
Wait, isn't she write isekai self insert of all thing. How that is not given ? How come she shocking this much
I thought they all have to know full well, but choose to do it, trashy isekai it sell. Why else you write such thing in the first place
I wish I didn't know how many chapters are left because it makes me feel like this manga is spinning its wheels too much and will have an abrupt, unsatisfying ending.
Well I'll still be reading and hoping for the best. Thanks for the translation!

When you are a creative (be it writing or drawing), even if you say that what you do is nothing special, deep down you still have some pride with your work. You might intentionally write the most formulaic fiction in the universe, but even then still somehow (maybe subconsciously) convince yourself that your work is the only one unique among thousands of similar works.
Is it contradictory? Paradoxical? Yes, absolutely. That's just how human beings are, but it's even more prominent with people in the creative industry.

It's like creating the edgiest cookie-cutter OC when you were 13 and making up stories for that OC as you go about it. That OC may not be the most original, or the most palatable, and just a little bit of contact with the outside world will have you aware of that fact very early on, but that doesn't mean you'd love your creation any less.
Artists struggle with both always feeling inadequate and always feeling strong sentiments towards their creations, no matter the final quality, at the same time. It's a common emotion, I believe.
