well at least i know that Kazuto survived through ALICIZATION

Is that a process? What did they do to him on the ship

damn asuna is a little crazy don't you guys think so too?
what she saw? damn i'm getting really anxious now....
poor kirito he always recieve the worst part...actually it kinda of piss me off how he always get into this dangerous situations

It's a work of fiction. Things like this always happens to the protagonist...

I'm only half-joking.

As long as Asuna and Kirito get a happy ending, i don't mind random twist and turns in alicization.

To answer your question, I will continue a little bit of the summary from my last post:

So....

Does the sex scene in Vol 1 Chapter 16.5 actually happen?

As stated by the Thread Starter, it wasn't part of vol 1 but of an extra for adults only(I think).

Also, in the actual story before that scene I remember Asuna undressing then Kirito saying that's not what he intended so I assumed they put it off?

But right after that comes that nice scene, so did it really happen?

Can anyone clear this up? My details are a bit shabby please correct me if I'm wrong.

The implication was definitely there that they did, even without the extra chapter.

But why would it be chapter 16.5 then the order doesn;t make sense...

Do you guys think that when Kirito kissed Asuna after sacrificing his arm...

1)Was that her first kiss?

2)I saw that the arm was severed (as in chopped off) and "body part loss icon" but then later on I see that it is described as a crippled left arm (which means its a disfigured arm but still intact). So what was it?

3)If his arm was cut off, how and when did he get his arm back?

---------------------
4)Sorry for being really meticulous but

"Asuna plopped down naked on the sofa and glared defiantly at me.

“…Kirito, hurry up and take your clothes off,” she said in an authoritative tone.

“What…w-we’re continuing?”

“It would be stupid if we stopped here!!”

I hurriedly complied. Opening the window indicated by Asuna, I toggled off the option buried deep within the menu.

Because of the hurried start, there was no romantic mood to speak of. Sitting on the bed which was slightly too small for the two of us, we slowly did as much as the system would allow. "

-At first it says naked on sofa then naked on bed...which is it?

Because chapter 16.5 wasn't included in the light novel. It was removed to make it readable by a wider range of audience. It was translated from the original web novel for the people who were interested.

It was separated on baka-tsuki to give fair-warning to the underage.

Hi, New guy here.

Just read the manga 3 days ago, thought it was amazing and learned that there was LN for it, Read it straight to volume 6 and currently reading volume 7. I was wondering how fast is the rate of translation going? I accidentally read the 1st chapter of alicization ( web version) and was wondering how long SAO will be translated to reach that point.

Edit: I also saw that there was an anime for SAO. I was also wondering up to what part it will cover and hopefully at least up until the ALO part as there was no illustration of Kirito fighting while using the large 2-handed sword( I think. Also there maybe one when he was fighting Eugene but I think it was only the effects of the slashes and not the sword itself was shown) and I would really like to see that.

Well up through ALO would make sense since it is a 24 episode series. Likely the first cour of it will be SAO and then the second one will be ALO.

Well, its not a full image, but its in color http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/in...l_03_-_007.jpg .

As for the progress of the translation, its not bad. We usually get a chapter a week on average.

Cool. I forgot that one. Although I want a full view of the sword I guess this is good enough:)

As the creator of this novel stated...

---------------------------------------

Since I know that vol4-8 are being serialized as a bunko(LN) and that the author hasn't marked even vol 4 as red yet(which means it is serialized as an LN) does that mean I can insinuate that some of the other works written are also not updated?

1)Does that mean
Sword Art Online Gaidenx1 16.5 (the legendary good-kids-shouldn't-read or Asuna-is-mai-waifu chapter)
is in bunko form?

Does anyone know?

whats moons cradle? SS of Alicization? i dont think its in bunko form btw, for 16.5

nope the process but the aftermath of ALICIZATION if you read versus SS, Higa-san is the one scientist that working in the ship

Aftermath? I dont really get it. What is alicization? An AI program?
