Now, realistically, the only novels in which Mikoto could have taken part in the main battle(s) are novel 3, 6, 8, 13 and 16(so, yeah, not nearly as many as he claims). In two of them(3 and 13) she DID take part in it in a way, so there was no plot hole keeping her away. In novel 8 she never got a chance to fight Awaki at all in the end as accelerator took her out first, and did play her role throughout the novel. Meaning the only real instances in which Mikoto was kept away from the battle are novels 6 and 16, which are in fact the two novels in which he's claiming Kamachi used plot holes to keep her out of it
The point still stands since hey if Mikoto was included in the fights...then hey more Mikoto right? Can we stop referring it to a plot hole when in fact it is nothing more than a convenient plot device? Meh either way this "discussion" is leading nowhere.
