He needed to think harder then. Almost all the Railgun filler is garbage.

Are we sure Kamachi isn't a group of people?

How about focusing on quality over quantity for a change, Kamachi?

What's the typical word count of a light novel? Isn't it laughably small since the publishers use fucking giant size font and it's printed vertical instead of the more character-compact horizontal.

>>146899018
Except the Railgun filler is actually better than most typical series fillers. The problem is, they do fillers when Side Stories should be getting adapted instead.

That pic is backstory, she's the antagonist of vol3. All of the people in that project they were in that came into contact with the White Queen were distorted. She's actually fairly similar to Kyousuke, just she helps people with revenge instead of salvation.

>>146902860
I post a lot without it, but I don't have much on this device so I end up using the same few pictures after a while. I at least try to keep real conversation and discussion going.

The last Zashiki Warashi volume I read was 4, the one with the causality and timeline twisting bollocks. That was over a year ago though. Will I be able to follow what's going on if I just pick up where I left off or should I just start again from volume 1?

>>146903216
You'll probably understand most of what's going on, but it's not a bad excuse to go back and reread the early volumes if you want to.

As a side note, Zashiki starts becoming like a conventional battle series from ZW4 on.

>>146903358

>>146902823
Not him, but WQ is literally the only saving grace from the series. Other girls are written as something cliched(not necessarily bad) but fall off as simpletons typical one time use only Kamachi characters. MC Kyosuke isn't bad but lacks charisma to make the reader be engaged on keep reading.

>>146903616
I actually like him quite a bit since he's an experienced professional. His relationship with the White Queen adds a lot to it as well, especially how quickly he changes when she's involved.

>>146903831
>I actually like him quite a bit since he's an experienced professional
I've only finished the first volume, granted, but I feel like Kyousuke's a bit refreshing as a protagonist so far. The schtick about saving girls is played out in Kamachi works, but it's nice that he seems to reject the absurdity around him.

A lot of Kamachi's other male MCs have usual boy motivations when it comes to girls to make them more relatable, which isn't bad, but it almost seems like you see it too often when reading everything.

>>146904212
It helps that he has a very good reason to not have more perverted motivations like Heivia, Quenser, or Shinobu. One thing you have to give Kamachi credit for is that he does a good job of giving his protagonists variance. It's similar to the other protagonists, but his sheer audacity at times is hilarious.

For reference, my Kobo and/or Google Play Books Yen Press LN rips range in size from 5.7 MB (Durarara v4, the smallest) to 24.4 MB (Asterisk V1, the largest), with the majority ranging between 10 to 15MB.

Meanwhile, Kindle LNs pretty much NEVER exceed 3MB.

The reason behind this is probably Amazon's per-megabyte delivery charges that they skim off every single eBook purchase on their platform, which absolutely fucks with image-heavy books like LNs, which means that publishers end up reducing resolution and reducing JPG quality to keep the filesize low. There is an exception to the delivery charge for ebooks over 10MB in size for Japan only, which is presumably a concession to LNs over there.

>>146907299
It was really early days for Yen Press, they initially thought they could get the Western YA fiction audience if they gave it a trashy YA teen romance cover, then shortly after figured out that breaking out of the otaku niche would be impossible.

With Haruhi they continued the policy of giving the paperback version a minimalist cover of their own design while making the original cover available for the hardback version.

However from SAO onwards they just stuck with preserving the original cover art and only adapting the logo. Which in the case of SAO meant adding random hexagons and a picture of a sword for some reason.

>>146910690
Dedposter being a retard is undeniable fact, but that doesn't mean a noticeable downward trend, even one that goes from absurdly high to still high, should just be ignored.
NT3 sold over three times more than NT16, but the content definitely isn't that much better. This suggests that the actual quality of the product is not the core factor in this decline, so even if all volumes from here on were perfect masterpieces, it might not be enough to reverse the trend. Unless the other factors involved can be identified and counteracted, there's a pretty unavoidable limit on how much longer the series can stay profitable. With the current situation, it actually is at least a little doomed.

>>146911250
Dedposting is, for the most part, a joke, it's not even done by the same people all of the time. The series has just gone on for a long time with not that much to advertise it. The way they announced HO probably killed the motivation of a lot of fans as well.

>>146911893
That's my point. It's natural for anything going on this long to be in a decline of sorts, especially without an anime adaptation to draw in more fans. But it still doesn't change the fact that it's current sales, lagging it might be, is still incredibly high, and something most other LNs wishes they have. It's declining, as expected, but it is still a massive success.

Rather, the post is less about the sales shitpost of Index but more of sales-shitposting in general. It's getting a bit out of hand lately and starting to feel like /v/ and their hard-on for how many sales a game has gotten.

>>146913536
Pretty good, but you have to give it until the White Queen makes her appearance. I won't spoil anything past that, but the first half of the first volume gets heavy on exposition.

>>146913536

Seems like the japs have learned their lessons afterwards.

Alright guys honestly are the novels worth reading? I kinda stopped somewhere at that Arc with this tunnel (iirc) and this group of female wizards named after nordic gods iirc somewhere in the OT because it felt kinda dull and repetitive.

When will he graduate from the LN wrold come to the manga Industries big leagues?

>>146920351
The eurotunnel? That arc gets better especially once Carissa starts fucking shit up, and the following volume is fucking great. Then you're already in WW3 which is hype as fuck and the best arc in the series.

>>146896728
Is he dying like Sakamoto?

>>146920351
OT is still okay, some weak points there but nothing really bad.

This is only my personal opinion

But NT has gone to shit with introduction of magic gods and then fucking sato ruined it totally.
To much focus on them, would have been more okay with adventures that Kamijou and co have in AC fighting some magic cabal or shit.

>>146920660
The greatest insult was how the officer girl with the ridiculous name (even ridiculous by Kamachi standards and I can't even remember it) showed up, got a full page of colored art, and proceeded to do absolutely nothing but lose the object she was in charge of.

>>146920729
Things have been getting better since they introduced kamisato though

>>146920729
Kamisato himself is good, it's his fucking harem taking up too much time.

>>146920799
I don't think I will ever forgive Kamisato for basically dumping the responsibility of dealing with those crazy cunts on Touma. He better get a right cross heard around the world when/if he gets dragged out of his safe space.

Well its like another anon said in a different thread. HO I where Kamachi can freely write in his love of blonde lolis of all different personality types.

>>146920729

Personally, the light novel is getting better ever since Magic God Othinus Arc.

OT 6 -12 boring.

The pacing is excellent from OT 13 to NT 1. NT 2 to NT 3 volumes aren't my cup of tea.

NT 4-NT 8 are just average.It is neither bad or excellent. It is just normal.

I am very absorbed into the plot since after Nt 9 onwards.

The introduction of Othinus & Kamisato is great including the character development of Kihara Yuiitsu.

Misaka & Misaki also get more screen time to shine as well.

NT isn't bad. It is very fresh to me.

>>146921896
Man, I forgot about her. That's another blonde loli. As expected of Kamachi.

>>146922424
Well she was pretty forgettable, as if she was just there to fill his quota. The stars of that volume were the MIB anyways.

Oh my fucking god, are you still buttburt about that shit, /v/?

>>146923944
Fran had her red string of fate severed from Kamisoto when Touma touched her. She's free from his clutched now.

>Fran
How come she's reasonable unlike the rest of his whore? Was it the aliens?

>>146924055
I can't buy into this meme just yet, since Salome didn't side with him.
>>146924121
She's either plotting something, someone in disguise, or the ayy lmaos tampering made her less of a slut compared to the others.

>>146923944
Yeah, somehow bet it will be like that
- working together to find some spell to return Kamisato
- but find out there are none
- best chance is to get back the right hand
- near the end of the battle Fran will suddenly backstab him, cause obviously Yuuitsu already was prepared and secretely contacted her
- Kamijou gets saved by Misaka, Accelerator or whoever and wasted another volume, with nothing changing
Totally see it coming

>>146924259
Yuiitsu's reign of terror can only go on for so long. The city's defenses are fucked up and she's mixing science and magic like crazy, so I expect a magician or two to slip in and back up Touma.

>>146924227
But wait, did he ever touch Salome's sex body? A relationship between the red string and reproductive organs sounds like a bit of a stretch, but not so much that I'd completely rule it out.

>>146925242
No, that's why it only half worked.

>>146925242
That reminds me, AC needs to start investing in sex bots. There are already enough of the killing variety.

>>146925570
Pretty sure they are working on robots already albeit not sexbots.
Well with Aneri, it is only a question of time until
Kamaichi will totally surprise us the next time Hamazura gets a more important role that suddenly Aneri has a robot body which totally looks like a normal human gal and of course is cute.

>>146924467
Wait when did she mix magic?

All she used was dark matter, St Germaine the virus whatever to call it but not the magic abilities and well the right hand of Kamisato.
When did she start using magic?

>>146926313
The Element cores are pure magic embedded in what is probably dark matter.

>>146926546
my benis is embedded in what is probably ur mum

>>146924227
But it had to be true. It would completely rub it in Kamisoto's face that the girls are staying with him because of him. Afterward, you have Kamisoto desperately trying to get Touma to NTR away his unwanted harem so he can get some peace and quiet.

>>146926546
Was that said anywhere or are you just assuming things.
Imagine breaker also works on Dark matter which they somehow can produce, so it could be anything what is also effected by IB.
I cant remember anywhere have read that Index or Othinus said it is magic.

Since they’re relying on a magical element at the most basic level, the reduced life form method must have only been able to create the outward forms. Kihara Yuiitsu must not have reached the level of creating a soul or a life. But it really comes down to a simple combination. I bet she wishes she could have disguised the color of the light.
Just to add the full reasoning behind that conclusion.

The truth is most like her but can't talk much that hasn't been said before mainly because she hasn't got screentime for NT.
And seeing how poor NT has been handling characters I think it's better this way until the second England Arc that is the start if the end game has Necessarius back to the spotlight again.
And we all want since Index triggers Touma's wide range of his emotion spectrum.

>>146932061

>>146932641
He's billion of years old and was once an astronaut. Does he really need an education at this point?

>>146932797

For the magic side he could be hired without needing that.

Reading Raildex I always though Kamachi was mediocre at best with a few great ideas here and there, but then his new series are all absolute genius.
And now you're telling me he's writing them in only a fucking month?

>>146936033
>month
He's probably writing them much faster than that. It's just that Dengeki limits it to one release per month for author.
Which is really not a problem unless you're Kamachi, since most of them take like 4+ for each volume anyway.

>>146900201
Right, JS06 deserves his ann news

>>146936033
All of Kamachi's works are basically hit or miss. It can basically be chalked up to how different they are from the generic LNs. And he writes fast, but mostly consistently. He's a few volumes ahead of the newest release for each of his series I'm sure.

>>146936221
"A certain loli multitasks translations of 10 different novels every day for half a decade.
Shows no signs of stopping."

>>146936033
Raildex is one of his earliest works, so his inexperience at the time caused it to be less than it could be. His later works were started with him having much more experience from the beginning, so that helped a lot.

>>146896419
Holy shit this LN is still going? It's like shounenshit at this point, also who's the cutie on the far right?

>>146896673
>>146896728
Maybe he should take more time to write a very good novel than spend a month each on a truckload of mediocre to average novels.

>>146936721
I'd say he's been on a roll this year so far.

>>146936141
This is most likely truth since we know there is a loli-pilot spin-off that Kamachi had written for HO which Miki had to refuse since it's too much.

>>146937035
Kamachi needs to put that stuff on his website like he's been doing with Zashiki

Bravo kamachi

I wish Kamachi would streamline the Raildex cast and end the fucking series on a decent note rather than bloat it with half-assed characters while working on other series. Someday he's going to be found dead at his desk with none of the series finished. It's like that old saying, you chase two rabbits and catch neither.

Japan likes Kamisato after NT16. They're liking the volume as a whole.

>>146937131
I was getting way too confused too, so I cheated and looked for supplementary material to start having a idea of what the fuck was going on. After that I started liking it a lot.

Being the marketing fanservice mascot of the franchise doesn't makes her retroactively relevant my new friend.

It's probably even more hit-or-miss than Kamachi's stuff, but if it's a hit for you, it tends to hit it out of the park.

This image does a good job of summing up Horizon for me: a half-werewolf girl in the bath using a magic computer to discuss the House of Habsburg and the Thirty Years' War.

A cute. I never expected to find a series where I love almost all the girls, ranging from DFC to balloon tits.

>>146927425
Factually wrong
Koroko x Touma is best crack ship
Index x Accelerator in second for, while not as hilarious, being the most interesting in terms of the implications

I thought we all agreed that regret has nothing to do with her repeated references. The Rakko stuff in Haimura's blog sealed the deal.

>>146938147
thank you very much anon

>>146937268
I never was a big fan of Stiyl or Kanzaki, but I miss them because they remind of of the good old days when the series had a stable supporting cast.

Kamachi's last ditch effort in a dozen years from now will be to cause a catastrophic event at the end of Index that causes all his series to become connected, thus giving incentive for all his future series possibly building upon one of his older series from time to time. It's genius.

>>146938335

I don't know what your definition of "relevant" is but she's seen more mileage in NT than most of the OT cast.

We kinda need translation for volume 2 and beyond before we have a good grasp of if we like it or not. First volumes by Kamachi have a tendency to be underwhelming as compared to volume 2 and beyond.

Reminder that LO and Worst's feelings for Accel are fake.

>>146938778
So never since Kamachi is a huge normalfag who loves mature girls and big tits and hates small girls and lolis.

She isn't affecting bathe game board and all NT has is keep on hinting "something will happen!" that has yet to happen. Just look at NT16.

There are three Zashiki Warashi in the series and that's not one of them.

Alright then
>He spun around and saw Mugino Shizuri standing blood-covered on the other side of the bridge. Some of it was her blood, but some was from someone else. He recognized the thing that she was dragging in her right hand that looked a bit like an old rag.
>“Frenda…”
>Technically, it was only her upper half.
>Wherever it had gone, her bottom half was gone and something dark red was dripping from the cross-section.
This is basically all that's said about her death when it happens. No final words or a show of a fight against Mugino however futile. Not a thing until Kamachi starts addressing Mugino's insanity and then more so once Fremea shows up. You really have to delusional to believe that he doesn't regret killing her at all in so short and unceremonious a manner when he makes so many references to her and basically creates a notFrenda to take her place.
Also, I meant in terms of body type more than anything but whatever

>>146939615
To be fair, the sentence could easily be interpreted as you talking specifically about the Zashiki Warashi.

>>146939677
I was talking about the Zashiki Warashi, The one second from right in the OP.

>>146939564
Yes, it's actually important too. Index has far less romantic progression than the other novels, even HO manages to have a decent bit and that's supposed to be episodic l.

>>146939564
Touma's "harem" is a meme considering the one lady to claim him will be death.
