INTRODUCTION: I will hold on to avoid as many spoilers as possible

Okay, this is my first review written for a light novel, so be a little kind if I end up wavering and getting lost in the subject, okay? (As I am a complete amateur, I will use terms that can be a little subjective, but know that everyone stands out from the main series as a whole, like ... Toaru or Index. Of course, there will be moments that I really want to talk about to toaru series as a whole, or the Index character, but I believe that will be obvious when it is said).
Toaru Majutsu No Index is with absolute certainty the best book I have read in my entire life ... This is not just because it has an incredible story, extremely human characters (in terms of feelings) and deep, or simply because it is so much fun . No, it is certainly the accumulation of all this that made me give such a high position to this work.
Really, if you think about the script as a whole, it can be summed up in a very simple way ... Kamijou Touma clenching his fist and changing a person's destiny, no matter if he will have to sacrifice his life for this, but he will certainly succeed. Really, a very simple summary, right? Well, that's because what I explained was just flour ... Yes, from that simple component, it will form the most beautiful of desserts. It is the incredible plots, discussions between characters, the direction of the story and moments of depth that make this book EXTREMELY appreciable and enjoyable to read
To be honest, the story of "Toaru Majutsu No Index" is magnificent ... With mysterious tones that continue to guide the reader as if the author's writing ability was like a conductor conducting his orchestra, it makes this book extremely addictive, because this gives the reader more reasons to continue exploring this divine literary world created by Kamachii. With each volume having at least one twist in the story, this great story manages to create extremely interesting mysteries and developments, and when you feel like you’re totally used to the plot, it gives you a push enough to shiver your spine, like a professional boxer hitting a powerful jab on an amateur who thinks he's capable of anything. Would it be Kamachii's ability to develop different and interesting terrains, plots With each volume, his true "magic"? Well, I will leave this question with some hidden meanings for the readers of this review hehe.
Now! What would make reading so enjoyable, if not characters developed with sublime perfection? Well, toaru will certainly not be an example of failure in this regard. To be honest, Index is the only work that I managed to like the characters so much. I mean, each one has their charisma and depth to add to the script, and sometimes, the ways that such characters are introduced really fascinate the reader, simply because it is in a different and very intriguing way (Well, it's not every time that the author manages to accomplish this, but the moments he manages are certainly incredible). Furthermore, I like the way Kamachi manages these characters, because even when you think they were thrown away, they enter the script spontaneously and very realistically, whether to make humor, bring depth or just keep the reader interested in some way. . In reality, his practice only affirms my previous claim, that every character has his importance and content to add to the script ... To be able to do this, at least in my opinion is something commendable. In fact, speaking of characters, how could I even forget about the villains? Each has their reasons for fighting, each has their reasons for clenching their teeth and going deeper into the darkness. Of course, some have cliché backstorys, but for me, they all manage to add to the script in some way ... So, I like to see how Kamachii does not create extremely bad villains. The main factor in this is that boy who raises his fists to destroy the unfair fate of those he thinks deserve better. Yes, that same hypocritical and selfish hero, who even after defeating villains, extends his hand to save the lives of those that the world would certainly judge as "evil". An example of a villain who was affected by the heroism of that boy, is the one who took more than 10,000 lives and dyed his hands with blood, and even so, it was in a way, saved from the darkness by that spiky-haired boy and that child with stupid capillary leather. Yea! Villains can certainly regret their past deeds and rise up as heroes! (Maybe I was "polluted" by this great story, and maybe one day those words will come back to me, and I will become a complete hypocrite ... Okay, so let me enjoy this momentary gift, and stop thinking one little in the future, okay?)

Well, that was my review of this great light novel. For the lazy on duty (we are together; D), or simply to people who were really interested in this review, I will leave a small summary ...

Toaru Majutsu No Index "(also known as" Old Testament-OT ")

STORY: 9 (To be honest, I thought a lot about what grade to give to this story, and I held myself back from giving a 10 ... Why did I do that? Well, for me ESTHETICALLY this work doesn't deserve it. and unfolding extremely impressive scripts, mainly because of the author's writing and coordination, I believe that many times the script is tied to "Protagonist hitting people to achieve their selfish goal", I must restrain myself from giving a perfect grade, in addition to having some clichés ... Well, still, I love books that manage to create fantastic worlds like "toaru", and I believe that both my interest in the side of science and that of magic are the same, and that's why I don't care so much about which of these two sides, each arc will focus on).

CHARACTERS: 10 (Really, could I give a better grade !? I absolutely love the characters in this work, and especially the main ones ... Kamijou Touma is certainly a hero among the heroes. Of course, some may think that just by having this title , he will be a cliché character, but I completely disagree with that! he throws himself at them to save strangers and acquaintances, simply because he likes to do that. Interesting fact is that he completely invades people's personal space to save them, but when it is with him, he is certainly the first to walk away so as not to involve others ... Really, a good selfish and hypocritical [Well, if you still think Kamijou is a cliché hero, I ask you if a hero should give the pleasure of forgiveness to those who have killed cent enas ... Is this really justice? Well, I keep saying that Kamijou is a true hero, but sometimes I wonder if he really is a hero. Regardless, I think what separates him from being a cliché character is his great depth and humanity]. Well, he fought to save the world, so he must be a hero. We also have the story of that protagonist who bathed his hands in blood while the strong smell of iron pervaded the places he had passed, and now, he struggles to live a normal life and protect that of those he loves ... Yes, he certainly fought against the world for that. What about that lucky level 0 kid who was fleeing the world? I think he's really fun hehe. In addition, I really like the "heroines" of this work. The main ones can be cute, funny, deep and cool ... Sorry for my bad taste, however Index is my favorite)

ART: 8 (Well, some may completely disagree with that note, but I'm not just considering the final volumes of the first book ... I'm considering the path of the illustrations. To be honest, it was difficult to adapt to the illustrations, as they really took time to fix, and it ends up affecting the reader's imagination as a whole [At least for me]. Besides, I think the illustrator [Haimura Kiyotaka] could invest a little more in the scenarios ... I believe they could be more "rich" as a whole. Well, I'm a complete ignorant, so I'm not going to focus so much on that subject hehe)

FUN: 10 (Without a doubt, I give this grade. I really find the dialogues very fun, and the way the story is told, just makes me more anxious about what will happen ... I love the side of science and magic , and the "leaders" on these sides are really mysterious, the way I love it. I mean ... It's really hard to read, and sometimes I even spent time researching something to better understand the scenario or what was going on , but it really was very pleasant)

I pray that the boy's silence will end ... I pray that he will rise up again against this disgusting and dark world that surrounds him, clench his fists with even more force and break down fate again ... YES! BREAK THAT DAMNED ILLUSIONS, KAMIJOU TOUMA!

EXTRA 1: In addition, I also like the author's comedy and the fluid way he puts it in his work ... It's not that kind of comedy that sometimes spoils the moment, but a comedy that varies from situation to situation, and that digests well ... Well, it certainly has some repeated jokes, but they still manage to get a laugh out of me
EXTRA 2: There is another reason for not giving a perfect grade for the story, and that is the "armor of the script". Obviously the characters suffer to reach their goals, but some nuances during the journey of the characters, lead me to believe in the famous "plot armors". Fortunately, the one used in this work is one of the lightest types, which only serve to protect some characters (Some characters really need this, simply because of their specifics).
EXTRA 3: I think that discovering and reading this work was one of the things that made me most happy in my entire life ... I hope that others can find happiness, not specifically in this work, but in other literary works
FINAL EXTRA: Right ... I made a "tier list" of each volume. For those interested, the link will be here: https://tiermaker.com/list/anime-and-manga/light-novels-tier-list--toaru-majutsu-no-index-16389/1219778
