Like I said, I remember it being said, I'll look for a source though. But I'm certain many still enjoy NT, it'd be cool to animate, and as said in the interview, "with Index, you wanna see it all".

Ha, nice gif avatar Rough Translation by me: Aleister has returned to her nostalgic former home of London. There, the head of the world's largest magic cabal attacks! Aleister has finally reached the cemetery of Westminster Abbey, the key to defeating Great Demon Coronzon. What she witnessed there was—— The head of the world’s largest magic cabal, 'Golden', Mathers. A man who should have been cut in half at the fated ground of Blythe Road, 100 years ago. Mathers isn’t the only one. The powerful ‘Golden’ magicians that he was leading simultaneously bare their fangs at the head of science. Mathers cannot be defeated with a magician’s abilities. Aleister is at a loss for what to do but by making the land of science, the 100 years accumulated there was not a waste. Kamijou Touma and Accelerator. The two who are the fruits of the accumulated efforts of the headquarters of science, Academy City, finally face off against the greatest and strongest Mathers——!

It could be badass or cool villain but I don't much care. its a new character. kamachi has lots of throw away character and lack of character building.
NT is more on full explosion of plot for me. Full of impact but also full of forgetful characters.

Because as I try to say a lot, other than main characters, characters in Toaru are introduced to fill a role, once that role is complete, they'll either become side/supporting characters or stop appearing because they have no more reason to be in the story. That is, unless something else is introduced that requires that role or can have said character play a new role. That's how Index's world building has worked since the beginning.

"We can't have heroes without monsters" and that's why Kamachi's attempts to make a "everyone can be a hero" felt flat to me.

Correction: Did any of you actually read the volume? No one became fodder, they just were not that important for the plot this time. Knight Leader was currently being controlled without his knowledge and Superm... I mean Aqua was vacationing along with Carissa in the jail cell next to her just 'cause.
If anything they felt like foreshadowing for whatever is about to happen. Also, Kamachi isn't trying to write that "everyone can be a hero", but that there are heroes. Look at Agitate Halation, only certain people were affected at all by the experiment and became pseudo heroes. As for the actual heroes they might have been affected but they mostly just helped because they wanted to. If the writing were trying to convey that "everyone could be a hero" that arc would have encompassed all of AC and not just affected only those few with the potential to become heroes.

^I try to use the "they weren't really important this time" argument a lot, for stuff that happens with characters. Because that's usually the reason for who shows up or who does what. But I've come to find, in this fandom, that argument is not widely accepted or appreciated. Its either "If I like [insert character's name here] they must appear whether or not they're relevant to the plot, regardless of if it would make sense or not, even though its established they have stuff to do and lives outside of what the plot covers." or "Kamachi forgot [insert character's name here] or is a bad writer."

Its been a while since i posted in this kind of threads that talk about the LN, havent touched this series after NT10 anymore so im not up-to-date, but seeing old anons saying this stuff makes me wonder if asking questions of "should i pick up the novels again?" is a good idea or not.
Can i get a brief summary of what happened since NT10? (spoilers are welcome) Also: i got some spoilers of the upcoming novel that accel will fuse with a girl? |

I will say, it is well worth picking back up. That Anon was just complaining about their favorite characters being irrelevant to recent volumes, despite the story going in a direction in which they'd not be so important (as many Index fans do). The story has progressed well and a lot of crazy fun stuff has happened and cool concepts have been used. I'll still explain it to you, but everything will seem random, rushed, and messy unless you read for yourself. In which case, you can judge for yourself (but IMO its,awesome).
Spoiler for Since NT10 and girl's identity :
