Well after 45 volumes, the author still has something to tell, while I, a reader, has gotten bored of all those detours. Cmon man, after all those happened in Shinyaku, you still have something that hasn't written yet? The story has already been too far from where everything started, while a harem is universally huge but extremely unbalanced, yet Kasomething main character is still running around with his right hand? The library Index hardly appeared, yet this series is still named after her. At least the spin-off of Mikoto Misaka is far better, when it only concentrates on the Academy City. The Magic side, which is also the major conflict of this series, is hardly impressing and I guess their existence so far is totally unnecessary.

In conclusion, like a certain someone said, it is totally disappointing in spite of all those high praise and commercial success. If Railgun were the genuine series, then I could still digest them all, but oh no, it can't happen, can it?

'It's a thousand pages, give or take a few. I'll be writing more in a week or two. I could make it longer if you like the style. I can change it 'round, and I wanna be a paperback writer. Paperback Writer!'
