And seriously, I've looked everywhere and nobody really has put things like that. I mean yeah, people expounded on the themes individually, but no one mentioned it directly in such a format. :/ I remember reading SAO at a rate of two volumes a day since it was just that engaging for me, call me overanalyzing but it seriously brought joy to my heart that an author has tackled such complicated societal questions in such an entertaining manner.

Still, at least SAO government is better compare to the Academy City from Index; where the demons and rapists live. |

Also I agree, it was described in ALO I believe, that the SAO Incident Agency figuratively had their hands tied due to political considerations and the idea of having 8,000 players having brain bombs stuck to their heads, with the chance that tampering with it would cause a system-wide brain melt.

Most Light Novels actually beat the final boss in the first volume. Because they don't know whether or not it'll be popular enough to get a sequel. They usually end the first volume in a way that leaves little or no important loose ends. SAO is somewhat unique in that it completely breaks down the premise afterwards, but I don't see how getting spoiled about the ending is something unexpected when you choose to read ahead.

This is like reading Harry Potter and the sorcerer stone and bam "That was my story when i am first year in Hogwart, now i stand in front of Voldermort fighting this final battle after destroying his 7 immortality toys including 1 inside me. I will remember you forever Mr. Dumbledore and Snape. You two are the hero of this world. Your death will not be in vain...."
What i thought was if this novel has 10 vol then i expect vol 1 will tell the story when Kirito at floor lv 1 - 10, vol 2 floor 11-20 ... vol 10 floor 91-100 and the last battle. |

Also, isn't the comparison a trifle silly? Doesn't Potter defeat Voldemort in book one? At least in some format? It's been a while and I'm not the greatest of fans of the franchise. And... boy-howdy we're wandering off-topic fast. |

And Harry Potter is a novel series, while SAO is a Light novel. So it not dragging out is not a bad thing. (Better than having chapters full of grinding on one level.) Anyway, do we have any more news on Vol 10? |

Why? Because it feels like I'm reading a completely different story than the one I enjoyed. And it was a big surprise to introduce a new female lead and switch Asuna to supporting. When I got done reading the first volume, I felt like I had a strong connection with Asuna so it was hard to see someone else in her shoes. I find the new girl more annoying than likable. The pacing's also fast. I kind of expected more details where some things sounded vague, but now I just want it to be over. Quote:
I'm not against sequels. I just didn't favor volume one's ending and how this story has progressed so far. |

Hi there, i'm new in this thread, but this is the best place to get updates about SAO. Just finished ALL the translated SAO material at Bakatsuki after just two weeks, and sadly, I found a cliffhanger at the end of Volume 9... still, considering that Volume 10 was publshed in the middle of July, it might be difficult to find a complete translation in less than at least three months. anyway, good to be here |
