No bells ringing...I might just go over to read it though. It's not any worse than say, the likes of Goshujinsama?

Spoiler for doujin:

Can't remember the title but I do remember one when the evil guy took over Asuna's avatar, but it wasn't exactly NTR.. Because it was still with Kirito.. just.. But I still didn't d/l it though..

[Tusjecht]

Who downloads that kind of doujinshi anyway? >_> It's a legit fandom just like mangas, cosplay, and animes, but...it's like fanfiction + manga + R18. And I'm already quite wary of fanfiction.

Edit: 16 guests are viewing this thread. <_<

Didn't know even discussing doujinshi attracts viewers too.

:nervous laugh: it's just the summaries, right? :nervous laugh:

On a side note does anyone know where I can find the full translation of CoTM? I only found ch 1 on Baka-Tsuki but maybe I didn't look hard enough. P.S. Thank you Flere M.A.D. and everyone who helped organize/ work on the translations you all did great work.

[Tusjecht]

If you can read Chinese then you can just search "Cradle Of the Moon 刀剑神域“ for the Chinese translations, IIRC they've done it quite awhile ago.

If you can't, then sorry to disappoint, there's no other English translations.

If you're desperate, then here are Flere's summaries for CoTM.

Part 1
Part 2
The Big one, #1-13
Part 14

[AnimusVentam]

Can't read Chinese but thanks for fining the summaries for me. Appreciate it.

[KiritoOmega]

Just finished the first volume of the Light Novel. I really liked it
I watched the anime first and always looked for differences xD

[Tusjecht]

>Kirito, Kiritos everywhere

But good to see you've hopped onto the SAO wagon (:

[KiritoOmega]

Hah, I started watching SAO when the wagon was only a little car >.<

The best thing about reading the light novel after watching the anime is that you can imagine everything perfectly fine

[Tusjecht]

Imagine everything?

Spoiler for Kirito vs Leafa:

I don't know about you but the adaptation of their fight can be described in one word. Underwhelming.

[KiritoOmega]

Yeah... I think I mentioned before that I only finished reading the first volume of the Light Novel ^^
My statement referred only to the first volume

In that case, prepare for jellyfish.

You'll figure it out in Fairy Dance....

Didn't they "enhance" that stuff in the ALO adaptation? LOL

[Tusjecht]

The anime was visually more traumatising than the LN, I'd say.

Edit: when it came to ALO.

Read volume 11.

[Tusjecht]

...for ALO, that is.

Chad001, LN for V11? Lemme raise you, try the WEB Alicization version.

No,no, hell no. I'm talking about the giant monster jellyfish Kirito and Leafa tame and ride.

Perv.

I'm pretty sure Asuna has considering this bit from volume 7:

Asuna suddenly remembered a scene she saw at the Kirigaya house in Kawagoe.

Lyfa/Suguha said that she and Kirito were responsible for preparing dinner that day. A blurry-eyed Kazuto was forcefully dragged downstairs by Suguha. The two of them stood side by side in the kitchen, Suguha cutting the vegetables while Kirito roasted the fish. Their mother returned at that time, and enjoyed a beer while watching TV. They lively chatted while the dishes were being prepared and when dinner was ready, the three of them said "Let's eat" together.

It's pretty obvious from that, that Asuna's eaten dinner at Kirito's house at least once while his mother was home. And I kind of doubt that's the only interaction with his parents she's had.

Umm, no. Americans have a poor impression of DPRK, Russia, China, etc. because of communism, terrorism, outsourcing, and oil. I can elaborate if you wish.
