Hello all!
I'm pretty late to the party but SAO's anime was my only experience with the series.
However I AM reading the first novel as of now and enjoying it immensely. My only complaint is lack of sleep from staying up til
3 a.m. each night to read it!
.......but that's my own fault.
It's a shame they left out Kirito's monologues in the anime but I can see why they did.
Still, his character has much more flavor with them!
Spoiler for Kirito is FUNNY XD:
Quote:
“Oh, right right. How high is your cooking skill right now?”
By what I knew, Asuna was particularly focused on raising her
cooking skill whenever she found time in between training her sword
skills. She answered my question with a proud smile.
“Listen and be surprised! I «Mastered» it last week.”
“What!?”
She’s…an idiot.
I thought that for a second. I didn’t say it out loud, of course.
Training skills was mind-numbingly boring and extremely timeconsuming,
and could only be «Mastered» after leveling them up 1000
times. On that note, levels didn’t have anything to do with skills and
went up by gaining experience points. The things that went up with the
levels were HP, strength, stats like dexterity, and the number of «Skill
Slots» which decided how many skills you could learn.
Right now I have twelve slots, but the only ones that had been
completed were my one-handed straight sword skill, Scan for Enemy
skill, and my Weapon Guard skill. It meant that this girl had spent a lot
of time and effort on a skill that wasn’t even of any help in battle.
