'''but i dont know if it is the minority.... i didnt see a volume which was better than WW3 :/'''

Because the first series was Kamachi's debut in writing so the first books aren't that great? In the beginning, all Kamachi seemed to care about was expanding the world of Index. I don't know if this is because he had no real goal for the plot in mind, or if he just wanted to flesh out the world before getting to the real stuff, but it was a really basic formula: new arc with new characters and new concepts, arc is over; new arc with new characters and new concepts, arc is over; and so on. As a result, you got loads of characters tossed aside and not used to their full potential (Aisa, Index), and really meh arcs (Dumbhaseisai and the trip in Italy comes to mind).

But then comes Volumes 12-13, the story becomes more linear, and while there are still many new characters introduced, it quickly becomes clear which characters really matter in the overall plot. We also get 2 new protagonists with their own adventures and excellent characterization.

Compare New Testament, Kamachi is a more experienced writer. From the get go, he introduces an all encompassing arc, and stop wasting time with fillers (even what looks like fillers actually aren't). He fleshes out Touma, something people wanted for a long time. NT4, NT6, NT7, NT9, and NT11 got overwhelming good reception, and I know people who dropped Index who came back to read NT because Kamachi fixed some of his flaws.

Personnally, I think both are good, that's why your comment somewhat annoyed me. Just because WW3 was good doesn't make the entire thing million times better than NT. And the second series only has 11 volumes, which makes your comparision even more unfair.
