The '
Spiritual Predecessor
' of Accel World, 'Just in My Eyes', have been finished translated into Chinese.
Spoiler
for
comparisons with AW
:
-The ISS virus shows its previous form here, as something that infects virtual pets and could move on to affect BICs.
-The name 'Noumi' is recycled into AW. AW's Rin (aka Ash Roller's RL form) also is a expy of a girl named Yuki here.
-RKL comments: This story is unfinished, about only 20% of a LN volume's length. And this was written in 2002, about the same time as SAO WEB version. This story was abandoned in favour of writing SAO, the more popular story which eventually got published.
RKL snarks that something had happened to Kawahara during this time to shift him shipping "imouto moe" into shipping "older woman compared to main character" - RKL felt Asuna being one year older than Kirito was something tacked on at the end. In JiME it was clear Takeru was shipped with his imouto, despite the 'official girlfriend' sempai and a kouhai newly falling for Takeru.
Oh, and judging by RKL's comments, expect SAO LN Vol13 some time around August 2013.
