Seriously, This isn't the best LN out there. The premise is highly promising but it's hampered by uncreative writing.

well, it's not the worst LN ever

It's like the most bashed LN I've seen, maybe only followed closed by SAO. But at least SOMETHING happens in there.

There r always some pros & cons in every light novel/manga/anime

sao is polarizing but even most of it's critics dont think it's the worst LN out there or anywhere near IS.

IS is almost universally held with distain,and can't move units anywhere the near top ten

[ZeroXSEED]

That's patently false

I.S. sell really well and went to the top rank in light novel sales back when it's still fresh and new thing. The season 1 anime sell over 12.000 disc for DVD alone which is patently bullshit for a harem anime, and then you add several thousand BD pack on top of that. (Only Monogatari series surpassed it)

Then Izuru went full retard, and 8bit add even more retardation, which result in Volume 5/season 2 onward and no one giving a fuck anymore.

[demino_hellsin]

I think the start was all the same. Bright eyed otaku lured in by the advertising of pretty girls in mecha. "Oh this is gonna be good.", "Oh it'll be epic with parts of cuteness.", "The mecha will be awesome good.", "The girls are going to be so endearing."

Cue season one.

More cynical anime fans are now dead-eyed leaving with sighs of disappointment stuck in their chests because it's so bad they don't want to spare that much breath on it.

Season 2 rolls in and even some die hard fans throw down their plastic "IS #1" fingers and just give up.

Then we have those guys who live off the thing purely by the multiple pairs of plots running around the series. Flat or large.

[lovetospoon73]

so how long do u guys think IS's LN series will end at, my guess is in the 20's

My money is on the next volume.

I would like it to last longer... only if the plot finally gets on track.

Spoiler for latest volume spoiler:

I really dislike how izuru made two secondary characters into "important" villains, but as long as he develops them correctly, i can come to like this twist.

The idea of having three enemies at the same time seems right to me, however, the only one whose objective seems half clear is Chifuyu and Tabane's classmate; it seems to me she wants to mass produce Byakushiki, or something along those lines, given how satisfied she seemed after getting its data during the world purge. I really want to know what Phantom Task wants, and what Tabane wants.

But please, please, let him stop introducing more characters when these will only undevelop or stop appearing... Izuru is not Kamachi, and IS is no TAMNI

[ZeroXSEED]

It's very difficult for LN to be axed, especially if you're Editor's bitch. LN market is low risk high profit business.

Japanese publisher regularly shat out obscure LN titles that sell 500 copies at best and still remain profitable.

maybe some of that data from the world purge, could explain why ichika can pilot an IS unit, & some of byakushiki's "secret abilities" i mean there's little to no info ABOUT BYAKUSHIKI

[Amatsu Mikaboshi]

Honestly with the exception of vol 10 I can't expect Izuru to make the plot serious without repeating the "Bad guys with OP ISes interrupt the ISA's tournament and kick Ichika's arse" thing.
Only times it had nothing to do with the academy, or more accurately, it happened outside the academy, were the Gospel arc and Kyoto arc. He tried it again with the Cannonball Fast arc when it happened in the city but kept the "interrupted tournament" thing

No, I'm betting on Izuru forgetting this series after another money bath session.
