Pretty amazing achievement. I like the anime adaptions of his works, though S3 was horrible and as i understand butcherd a lot of content... perhaps i should start collecting all the LNs.

Congrats to Kamachi on his 100th novel. Only right that it be the GOAT, Index. With that said....

Sono Gensou wo... Buchi Korosu!

Out of curiosity, does anyone understand what the 'infamous' comment is referring to? In the context of this article, I'm scratching my head and wondering if I'm missing a reference or something.

Kamachi is famous for writing much faster and putting out more books than other authors, so he kind of has a reputation for it.

Congratulations to him! His energy and productivity have always amazed me from when I first learned about him. I hope he never changes too much.

That really is impressive. I'd have trouble just filling in that many pages with Lorem Ipsum, let alone actual meaningful, sellable content.

The more crazier fact is that this is only the material released under the Dengeki Bunko label. There are more when taking into account other labels and the stuff on his Dengeki Bunko author website.

And the even crazier fact is that all of them have been fan translated bar the most recent one ,GT2, and one of the other one from another label.

Still has a ways to go to catch up to Kaoru Kurimoto, the author of Guin Saga, but at the rate he's going it should only take a few mow years.

Wow, Kamachi is a really busy guy.

I can only hope that it doesn't come to the point where he gets himself overworked.

O.K., I only really follow the ToAru franchise through the anime! However, congrats for such a milestone! The mortal enemy of writer's block are people like him.

Well, to fight the beast, you need even bigger beast... especially when you got the literal god of LN fan translation who's dealing with two complete madmen of Dengeki when it comes to the writing: Kamachi and Kawakami.

I can't imagine how much it would take to keep going for 100 volumes! I've been writing a light novel myself (for the fun of it) and only just finishing up the 4th volume. 100 seems like pure dedication to everything about his created world(s).
