Forced development

I agree with the reviewer below, I delayed reading this and finally got to read the translated English chapters so far. In comparison to To Aru Index for example, where the author let different elements fall into place, the author of Hidan no Aria deliberately added new plot tools and elements as needed, making the story development feel unnatural.

That being said, it is still enjoyable and a fairly easy read, albeit makes you scratch your head now and then.

A cliche fest if there ever was one

You think you've seen them all ? Well right here is every shounen cliche you could ever think of, conveniently packaged in light novel format. One can see that the author is deliberately trying to tell a story so ridiculously cliched in a tone so straight that the readers will fail to discern where the seriousness ends and the satire begins. Can one enjoy it ? Absolutely. If one is sufficiently bored and has a brain wired the right way.

Nothing really special. Standard shounen loli setup.
That said, I like the protagonist quite a lot and Aria is awesomely awesome.

I don't regret the hours I spent with a dictionary, while reading this.

There has been no progress since January and it is a shame since I thought the translator had done a really good job with the translation of prologue and chapter 1.
