Depends on the game, obviously.

In my Warcraft guild we've got about 40% women.

Volume 11 isn't even published yet, Volume 10 is the most recent

I meant I read that somewhere in the novel... I think. lol (don't remember the chapter though). But in real life, yeah, it's something like that, though I also agree that it depends on the game.


Volume 11... XDD Haven't even read volume 10 yet, but I already wish 11 was out... XD

I think it was somewhere in the beginning of SAO. After Klein meets Kirito they fight the boar and get teleported. If i remember correctly its mentioned there.

About episode 6, this is where Asuna's stalking career (add Kirito to friend lists> starts to stalk Kirito for her entire life...LOL

[Fallen3dge]

Her stalking fails next ep though

Preview image of Progressive Volume 1 from Accel World Volume 12:



As I have told before, Progressive Volume 1 will be released on 10th of October. As of what will be the story of Volume 1, I guess I won't tell it here anymore, most of us already knew it, right?

Interestingly, the left bottom part of the image stated that "SAO Volume 11 may be released in late Winter". Since my experience told me that the slated time is none other than the "release deadline", and most of the previous volumes got released way before the deadline, I think December 2012 or February 2013 are both possible release months.

Judging from the blurb, it is indeed 'Aria of the Starless Night'. Though the last few sentence mentions 'Rondo of the Illusory Sword', Argo the Rat, and 2nd floor boss - does that mean this will also be in this volume?

They could fit all 4 in one volume no?

It's kinda funny rereading First Day, and Aria tho. But at least we get a completed Rondo, finally.

The web version is supposedly complete up to the end of Alicization and thus the end of SAO as a whole though.

I am wondering how many things for those stories will be changed and how will stay the same.

Probably the side stories that came after volume 1 will stay the same, and the later chapters of volume 1 will be slightly changed to match the SS that came later and become more consistent with events that occured and characterisation of Asuna and Kirito.

Just wondering how much SAO Progressive will cover, will it be only the SAO arc or everything republished.

I think it will only cover that Aincrad Arc.

Yep, The rest of the arcs are mostly consistent chronologically.

Release dates tend to get wacky when the novel has a anime. Since the anime starts promoting the novel depending on how well it does. Its also a easy way to get people to buy the bd when you start packaging the novel with the latest bd.

So, since we were talking about progressive.. I just noticed something on re-reading Volume 1 and I wasn't sure whether it was the dialogue was written in an odd manner or whether it was writer inconsistency --

But does anyone find it weird in Vol 1 Chapter 6, Asuna tells Kirito "N-no!" when she thinks he's about to confess to her.. when she and him start dating/get married shortly afterwards?

It's also hinted at this point, like in Chapter 10, when she said she'd make sandwiches for him as much as he wanted that she likes him already..?

She is just shy and wasn't mentally prepared for that at that time

[Awrya]

My guess is that it took her off guard, or maybe she wanted him to confess in a more romantic atmosphere? After all they just wolfed down that rabbit ragout.
