So, adding one loli after another may be tolerable as long as the main relationship isn't neglected. OreShura is a very good example how this is being done properly. Unfortunately, based on the spoilers I've read, this is not the case here.
Now don't get me wrong, this is purely my personal opinion, and other readers may come to completely different conclusions. But based on what I've heard, Accel World gets more and more diluted. The crown jewel of the story whose character development and whose mysteries behind her have been carrying the storyline so far is KYH. Reducing her to a stagnant one-of-many in favor of adding more crying lolis is about the best way I can think of to make me lose interest.
Too bad.

I have to agree with you on one count, sir. The series was originally about getting to Level 10 and finding out what's Brain Burst, but...Haru is as of now Level 5, he still has low self-esteem, and while he's grown he's still nowhere near the stage to make the final push.
That said, Accel World is a
unique series. The author managed to show you can break the cookie cutter protagonist model and
flourish, let alone sell. The ending may be really far off, but it's one I want to see. Compared to other seinen and shounen series, this one actually managed to interest me (though I can't convince you how much) to watch and read every bit.
You're still entitled to your opinion, though, so this is mine.
