----------------------------------------
The best volume so far, as expected, this was the first arc that really got me in with the anime.
Didnt felt like commenting on 2, it was interesting and all but not enough Mikoto, so a Mikoto focused volume is a treat!

I would say it is a bit easier to give Acelerator some slack reading the LN vs the anime, you can see something is wrong with him, but he isnt EVIL like that.
(will be interesting to see his PoV in future volumes)

My only problem with this volume, and previous ones is that so far the writter just ends it too suddently. Like a sudden stop, seems quite forced, hope this improves later on.

Best volume so far, as Index almost got zero appearance xD
and Acelerator is very interesting.

I totally agree. I got the same impression which made me grow an interest in his character.

YESSSS. I wasn't totally satisfied with the ending too, I was so absorbed in the fight then suddenly, puff.

There is legit better stuff yet to come, make sure you read at least till volume 15 before making an accurate rating of this series.

Some stinkers will be ahead of you, but there are incredible volumes that will make it worth it, plus the conclusion was huge in scope and deeply interesting, then you realized it was only the first part of the series. LOOL

The LN did a great job developing 3 different MCs and when their stories connect, DOPE as fuck.
Would avoid anything Index III until you first experience the LN (III adapted volumes 14-22).

I have all the light novels on my computer, so I won't miss anything.

I mean, the light novel is kinda slow at the beginning (The autor needs to explain everything, but is something that I really appreciate), but later everthing become so fucking cool. I have finished volume 4 yesterday. It was not soooooo epic as the 3rd volume, but It was emotional and had great action scenes as the same as the first and second volume... I definitly will finish this novel.

I kinda understand why is a successful novel, It has everything you want.

Also, I started the anime, just to watch how was the adaptation... And, yes It's not so fair to the original source. It's kinda sad, but It can not be helped. At least, the ost is so good.

I had very high expectations for the sister arc because I really liked the sister arc in the Railgun anime. But in direct comparison to the anime, volume 3 is a bit worse. Nevertheless, it wasn't bad, Accelerator is a really interesting character and I'm really looking forward to finding out more about him.

There were some really weird lines in this Volume lol:

“My air conditioner was broken today so I came to sleep over! I think my big brother and I are both gonna get pretty loud tonight, so please have some patience, okay?"

Reading a whole novel in 3 days shows how good this arc is. I also appreciated how Kamachi used his searchings in the physics and mechanics in order to make the powers explanations clearer.

9/10
