I feel like Kamachi is trying too hard to be like Narita, if that makes sense (might not be intentional, but that's my opinion). But instead of doing it from separate characters' point of view, Kamachi split the stories into several different groups instead, each group having their own important characters and whatnot.

So far I've counted at least 6 groups (Necessarius, Touma, Railgun, Hamazura, Academy City, and Accelerator). Since you never know when these groups will interact with each other, it feels like you're reading 6 different novels in one series. But, the pacing makes it hard for readers to follow. For example, by the time the story gets to Hamazura, we'd have already forgotten about the magic faction and whatnot, only for them to suddenly pop up out of nowhere.

Exactly as Valeth says, I suppose :/

And yes, Index is actually irrelevant at this point, and Othinus has already swiped her role as Kamijou's guide.
