great thing about mahouka is the extensive descriptions it gives into explaining magic. Things like eidos, informational dimensions, activational sequences, speed, weight, etc are variables that we could use to create discussions. Their not making ice from simply nothing or accelerating to impossible speeds without explanations. Actually reading this kind of stuff makes me appreciate things like the the star wars lore and the lord of the rings universe with all its content. |

also, on the topic of his material burst. With my knowledge on the mahoukaverse so far, I certainly agree with you. But heres something to think about. I believe tatsuya was still restricted in his battle with Lina (correct if wrong). If Lina's heavy metal burst is instant, then that means that there are magic out there that do not have any lag time. Who's to say that an unrestricted restoration is not lagless? If the speed is porportionate to the damage taken, then it would have to be instant for him to survive something like his material burst. Of course, I am still not sure of the benefits unsealing does to him other than unsealing his psion count. So everything is still speculation on my part. But just a thought :P |

absolutely.. and the speed at which these chapters are being translated? nothing short of spectacular honestly. I've got 2 years of japanese under my belt and even then I still see myself as too green to translate anything. Those that took on the task, know that there are people who appreciate your work.

Theoretically I suppose he could just his 24 hour reset once a day to keep his body young if he wanted to. Possibly indefinitely.
Although that only works with the assumption that there isn't another limiting factor involved. With the original Sakurai he couldn't heal her because her lifespan was used up. |

Can Mahouka really be called a LN? Its world building is too great than most novels I've seen. SAO seems to do the same but the explanation in SAO really makes me want to put down in LN while this one does the opposite.
We still don't see much of its politics and other aspects of the world in Mahouka but the technical terms are very detailed and give the feeling of "kinda make sense" when read. Most novels with fantasy and sci-fi theme can't even match this one. Well, the downside is that it has many elements borrowing from other LN and anime, but that's what make us read it anyway. |

I've seen the book back when I was checking the bookstore a few days ago.. the thickness of the book is not something that I would call a LN. I think this one is a genuine novel like Horizon in terms of content.
Then again my definition of Light novel is something which doesn't have many pages and easy to read writing... which I must say, something that is not really reflect Mahouka IMO

No, thickness for Mahouka is not that different from your regular Dengeki LN. MF bunko LN(which consist a lot of harem romcom) are usually a little thinner(around 250 pages). Writing, aside from the convoluted and sometimes excessive explanation, is not that complex either grammar wise.
One thing I have to complain about the writing is, the author doesn't seems to know the meaning of story flows. Sometimes the author break the good flow of the story by inserting needless description of magic and in-world tech in the middle of an event. I mean, I admire the author's penchant for building world, but if you need to do it, do it in after the event ends or before the events start instead of breaking the flow mid-point to insert jargon explanation and author's self-insert comment. I like the novel itself, mind you, but I just can't get over the immersion breaking long-explanation-in-the-middle-of-event part of the novel at all >_< |

I like the massive world building, I just hate the timing when it's done by the author. When you have a magic battle, which supposed to last only for a moment, you don't do explanation in the middle of the battle. You do it before or after the battle.
