Sword Art Online Progressive Novel Gets Manga in June

Interesting.

sky black swordman · 2013-05-04, 18:00

^ That's great news, I'll be looking forward to the manga.

“Obviously. …Rath’s plans likely had the Human World forming up a mighty army capable of opposing the Dark Territory right about now. Their usage authorities for equipment and sacred arts would increase by continuously battling against the minor but incessant raids of goblins, while working out swordsmanship styles and group tactics applicable for actual combat. Howeever, as you know as well, that is far from the present situation. Swordsmen don’t experience actual combat even once, pursuing nothing but the appearance of their styles, and the army commanders, the higher class nobles, are wallowing in extravagance. The entire state of affairs is one brought about by Administrator and the integrity knights she created.”

"Listen here… even if a ruler like Administrator did not appear and the world continued down its originally planned track, the opposite would happen instead; the humans would have built up a mighty army, invaded the Dark Territory, and subjected the inhabitants of that country to the limits of atrocity as they massacred them to the very end!”

Lol Alicization is definitely a Civ and Philosophy simulation. But yeah reading this part, it pretty much summarized the initial RATH plan for the Underworld.

Also Vol. 12 got updated by Tap.

Spoiler tags, Netto. O :

ronelm2000 · 2013-05-05, 08:36

I COULD agree, but this is an LN thread, where LN spoilers are expected. XD

Rageth · 2013-05-05, 22:32

Yeah... I'm pretty sure spoiler tags are only required for things that haven't been published in Light Novel form...

Tusjecht · 2013-05-05, 22:49

Ah well. Not as if we didn't know about that anyway.

ronelm2000 · 2013-05-07, 08:10

There wasn't any reason for those who read the LN up to the latest ep to not check WN anyway, but still, WN spoilers to be on the safe zone, eh?

Anyway, with the pacing going on, we'll most likely be finished......in Volume 16, not 15. XD

M.A.D · 2013-05-14, 10:44

There are people who do that, really. They're only interested in reading the novel, so they didn't look much into it and don't even know that there exists a WN. And then they stumble onto this forum and got spoiled.

Cool! Seems that the artist they picked this time is better than the previous two, but still not as good as Minami Juusei. If only she would do the main series...

Lusol · 2013-05-18, 05:45

Hi. I was wondering since you're all discussing the web novel it seems, could someone PLEASE mail me a link to the English version. I want to read it since finishing up the LN to taps latest translation of Volume 12.

Awrya · 2013-05-18, 08:52

Web Novel summaries are all in this thread, but scattered everywhere.
I think they started like ~50 pages ago and I don't think someone has compiled them into a single post.

Look at the links at the first post of this page, iceaco's signature.

As l.kostas have mentioned, iceaco has them archived in his sig. Another version is in my sig as well, and M.A.D have his own version somewhere too.

Don't think you can find an english version...
The summaries mentioned, are just that.. summaries from the Chinese translations...

Latest translation of volume 12 is the latest (lol, see what I did there?).

Anyway, there's no one other than Tap translating it, so PLEASE wait patiently and don't forget to thank him for doing a good deed. (It's not even a "good job", since he's not getting paid).

Yami no Ou · 2013-05-20, 07:40

thanks Flere bro for the summaries of the web novel

Tusjecht · 2013-05-23, 06:40

Really is Eternal September, ain't it?

I think Tap reads but doesn't post here, so I'll speak on his behalf:

Lusol, it seems that you've made an account specifically to ask this question, so I'll answer you to the best as I can too. The WEB novel available in only two languages: the original Japanese version, and the Chinese translations, which Flere821 spent about two weeks reading and summarising for us. As you can see from iceaco's compilation, that was a huge, high-levelled summary. That's the closest to a translation as one can get for now.

(While I do see a WEB novel section on BT, it's been unchanged for over a month now, so I'm just taking it as an interest to translate, as opposed to a translation project.)

As for the parts of the translators, it really is voluntary. Let me emphasise that as clearly as possible. Voluntary. We translate as a hobby/side project, it's not us translating for a living. Teh_Ping or js06 would be rich now if they did.

If it draws any parallels to you, I myself confessed I too want fast translations. But, once I figured I can do so by contributing, I stopped whining to myself and went to pick up V5, V11, and V12 of Accel World. If you are familiar with Chinese, at least, then I could understand if you want an English version for reference to read. However, it's pretty likely you're a fan reader, so I ask again: exercise patience. Pick up another hobby, find a way to keep your mind in shape. (aka, study.

) When translations come out, they will.

I foolishly wish this is the last time I or another translators need to state this fact.

Someone has posted this at a Baka-Tsuki forum just before that section was created:

Hello. I would like to use currently available SAO's english translation of published version on bakatsuki plus some self-translated text from Chinese fan-translated web version to English in order to produce an English translation of web version of SAO.

Rageth · 2013-05-23, 13:18

Looking at the other versions on Baka-Tsuki, and how English is the only one that has everything almost up-to-date, makes me want to translate the spanish one, but then I remember that my spanish spelling is horrible XD

Would be nice if other people would be willing to translate to other languages though...
