Tsutomu Sato, the author of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei is also starting a new novel series. Interesting news this week.

A new orthodox school novel series but will it be in the same universe as the others or a completely new series?
The chance it not being in the same universe is slim thou and I'm not even sure I want it if it's not connected to the others.

You mean Berserk, the manga where only impatient people want to have a rushed ending in 10+ chapters than to wait for a good conclusion that has planned way in advance because they can't handle that someone takes a month to draw a chapter because he is a perfectionist? Oh yeah... that is such a bad approach. It's like you never read an unfinished book series...

As long as the guy can do what he loves (earning mon- I mean writing) and as long as the novels will sell anyway, it's fine. Personally I couldn't care less, but I'm not exactly bothered by it either.

Let me just add that the light novel series is totally different compared to the anime adaptation. It would be better to actually read the novels before judging.

It would be like saying Dragonbal mangal is lame based on the Dragonball Live action movie you watched.

Orthodox school here doesn't mean it's about a school. Just that it's orthodox. the word school here comes from the kanji 派, which is a school as in " a school of thinking", not a school as in "high school". A faction, a way to do see things.


Also, it's true that the first half of the first Index LN series is mostly awful as far as quality goes. I don't agree with Nidhoeggr's habit to criticize things he never read, but even without reading them if you keep saying that everything is bad one day or another you're going to be right on one title which actually happen to be bad. Second part of the first series has a better level though. Volumes 15,19,20,21,22 especially.

Also, some people here seems to think that kamachi is the LN author who write the most pages per year. That's very far from being true. IIRC authors like ichirou sakaki, akira and kawakami write far more than him.

Couldn't find myself interested with Index franchise at all (Both LN and anime). I dunno, i just find the premise and worldbuilding in Index very silly and mostly contrived and, like Nidhoeggr said, full of plotholes. And Touma's tendency to punch women at the face, even when they're villains, just made me cringe. On the other hand, i thoroughly enjoyed A simple survey LN on Baka-Tsuki. This one is just great. Kamachi's snarkiness and goldmine of tsukkomi totally shines thoroughly that i found myself laughing several times from its powerful ability to throw jabs at several intricacies and tendencies in otaku subculture. Now that is the kind of novels that i'd love Kamachi to write. No need for flashy actions or complicated worldbuilding like Index, but just a simple wordplays and strong sense of humor.

Well... I heard you don't read the novels. The novels are way better than the anime. The novels definitely aren't lazily written. It's fine if you don't like the anime, just don't use that as an excuse to criticize the novels. The novels are fantastic, the anime was ok, and of course the anime version might have plot holes, but the light novels definitely don't...

Everyone's fine to their own opinions, but please read them first before calling it lazy writing. Everything after volume 13 (season 2's ending) are some of the best books I've ever read in my entire life, especially NT 8, NT 9.

Kamachi is one of the most talented writers I have ever seen/read. He never writes lazily. The only lazy people are the one's adapting his series in J.C. staff... just making that clear.

Also, even if you wrote 20 books a year, each one probably wouldn't sell 150,000 copies consistently every time you published one...

That means at least 150,000 people enjoy his series and think it is well-written. It's hard to get that much of a consistent following no matter who you are. By the way, most LN series sell 10,000 and that's a hit, so 150,000 for LN's is ridiculous. (it works differently than popular manga series).

Well, that depends on what you read. If you read some of his earlier books, you may feel that way. After book 12 he's fantastic. Books 6 and on are pretty good. The first few have "some" problems, but no plotholes. Give me a single plot hole in this series? I haven't found one, and I've read many, many of the books.

I can say with about 98% confidence that there are no plotholes in this series...

Also, Touma punching women is bad if they're villains? That's pretty sexist (I'm a guy...). Maybe it was once Chivalrous, but this is a city of science, that cares about modern themes... not medieval themes like that... wrong setting...

I understand personal preference, but I disagree about the contrived premise. If his premise is one thing, it definitely isn't contrived. It's absolute genius.

I don't know about a simple survey, but people thinking that Index is extremely good needs to read more LN. Or to choose what they read better imo. While the average quality goes up after the 11th volume indeed, it's still not enough to be called very good, let alone praising it even more.
Also, 9th volume of the first series is definitely the worst LN volume I ever read up to this day. And I sure hope that this fact will never change, as I'm not particularly into masochism ^^". I really enjoyed some of the volumes and the world build is fairly interesting, sure enough. If you're interested in that type of world (and I am), it's definitely worth the read. You're going to suffer for a while before passing the 11th volume though.
But is that enough to praise it as much as some people did it above, I don't think so. Kamachi has proven to be able to do really good stories, YES. But he's inconsistent with his quality. Hence, the average quality cannot be called very good, even by excluding the volumes 1 to 11.

I disagree.The worst of the volumes is the 11th.

The quality may be inconsistent, but the characters, powers, etc aren't.That is what I am looking for in a series.So far I see a series that the author(s) really likes him/her/themselves and doesn't ruin it, by random bullshit(See Bleach), just to keep it alive.Yes instead of Othinus he could just write about Aleister and end it.But the volumes are still good and don't make you wish it had ended arcs ago.
