What I mean is that the characters themselves, besides Yuki, feel like they are living life normally and are relatively unaware of all the same tasks they did in previous cycles. They get the deja vu feelings, but that is about it.

So like I said, we can only feel exactly the way Kyon feels, in the episode of these cycles. Otherwise our perspectives become more in line with Yuki (Who is relatively unconcerned about ever fixing the loop in the first place and thus already makes it impossible to feel like she does unless you want to just observe Haruhi and Kyon over and over and over again).
I've read this post a bunch of times and still don't really understand what you're trying to say... If you're saying that it was impossible for the light novel to produce the same impact that these consecutive loops are producing... then, I'd agree with you on that point...

If you're saying that we can only understand the way Kyon's feels because that is the perspective from which the story is told, regardless of it being the anime or light novel... then I'd have to disagree.
