I'll just try to sum things up:

- New light novel author 幾谷正 (Ikutani Tadashi? Not sure about the reading) wants to release his work

- The illustrator for it is Konishi, who, as everyone knows, got quite famous due to his work on KanColle

- However, for this novel Konishi doesn't use コニシ (Konishi), the name everyone knows him by, but instead uses the pen name ひよこ西 (Hiyoko Nishi), which might not be instantly recognisable

- Ikutani has been trying to advertise his work, but the resulting feedback has been lukewarm at best

- Knowing that Konishi has built up some reputation thanks to KanColle, he thought about letting him do some advertising as well, trying to capitalise on his fame

- He approached his editor with this idea, but it got shot down

- Probably pissed because of this, he went on claiming that it's because of pressure by the people behind KanColle.

- However, Konishi actually DID advertise his work. Under his pseudonym Hiyoko Nishi, that is...
