Well... I'm happy that I now own Volume 1, and that I got it at Barnes and Noble. The only downside is that I haven't had time to read it yet, but that will soon be amended.

I'm happy to see that it seems to be selling pretty well. I hope it does better in the future though... (lol such high standards).

Right now though I'm glad for the (apparently) good start to sales.

It's charting excellently and in demand if Amazon stock and stores are to go by. Especially right off the bat for a first volume. So hoping that translates to good sales, which it tends to.

Should, hopefully, do even better if reviews turn out good and as more volumes come out. :3

Not going to pass SAO anytime soon though!

If you can't see it it means your adblock plugin hid it.

Chaos2Frozen · 2014-11-19, 13:48

Man, the old style doesn't hold up well imo

SibylEnd · 2014-11-19, 14:04

nooooope, that and it reminds me of haimuras old eroge work too much.

although i think the cover holds up well... unlike the volume two cover

ACertainStark · 2014-11-19, 14:05

Yeah.

At least by 2016 it'll be gone~

Its so beautiful. Especially the tagline.

But in all seriousness, Haimura's 11 year old art doesn't quite match up to his standard today, doesn't it?

I made a pastebin comparing most of the terms that were on the atwiki. If there are others you'd like to know about, feel free to ask.

ACertainStark · 2014-11-19, 16:46

Thanks ultranova. Yeah, was going to bring a few of these up.

The ones that bother me when I was reading:
Kami-yan is Kami.
Magic god is demon god - Though they provide context, but still
Aogami Pierce is Blue Hair.

Will take some time to get use to these for me. Other than that it was great read but I will forever call Aogami, Aogami.

Loremaster · 2014-11-19, 16:57

My copy is on it's way right now. Read all these novels online, but to support the writer gives me a good feeling and it be fun to read it in english. Like the same way I like rewatching anime series in dub despite the quality.

How they explained the word punch 神浄討魔 ? (or was that explained in vol.1 ?

Yup, that's the long standing problem with using the word "魔".

Yeah, I don't blame them. It was explained much later that Magic God can be read as Demon, right? so I doubt they got to that.

R.LocK · 2014-11-19, 17:13

It's pretty funny how they changed religious stuff. Understandable, but funny.

Are you talking about the Kamijou no Touma that Kanzaki mistakenly says? If so they use:

"Touma of Kamijou...the magic slayer of God's cleansing...the kanji. It is a good, true name."
