No... The equivalent plot in the OreImo novel centered around Kirino's work being adapted into a novel because it was a novel. The plot in the anime episode was revised to be centered around Kirino's work being adapted into an anime because it's an anime. And the plot revolved around the concept of adaptations not being faithful to the original story, making it a doubly-rich irony. That's all I was saying.

Edit: Might as well add this.

That part you quoted was a clarification of a previous point I had already explained; without the previous context, you're inadvertently reframed the meaning. Kyousuke does not hate Kirino at all. He claims that he hated her because he was/is jealous of her. The jealousy is the issue he has to address in order to fix his resentment towards her. It's obvious that he doesn't hate her in the literal sense, but such is the extent that his resentment is portrayed as having grown.
