Well, SAO didn't have the author go through legal troubles, so that's a factor.

Volume 11 is getting released on March 20th. We're back, boys!

[RDNexus]

And now...to pray all remaning volumes get released with hassle and that an Anime S3 gets highlighted.

[Gatmar]

Ah thank heaven. I thought it will never get a release.

Considering the long gap since the last volume came out. he might just do a season 3 in order to bring back the fandom to buy his books again here is hoping.

[Wheeljack83]

So will they finally decide to stop building their stupid guild and try to figure out where they are and what happened to them and why they are stuck in an MMO game world?

The volume 11 cover is up on Mamare's blog.

Off-topic, I'm surprised Mamare's blog is still being updated @__@

Vol 11 takes place after the events of volume 9 but before the end of volume 10 a sort of in between. As to why they are fighting their is a valid reason but it would spoil the story, if u want a spoiler than ask.

Anyway one last thing i wanted to mention, has anybody noticed a pattern that Mamare always tends to write around the start of spring to the end of August and than goes on a hiatus again?

[Xftg123]

Yeah I see that too.

Also, surprisingly Yen Press is close to catching up with the LN. They're releasing the 10th Volume this month on the 27th.

Krusty's profile is out: http://tounomamare.com/archives/2035

Spoiler for something of a translation:

Krusty

• Level: 95
• Race: Human
• Class: Guardian
• Subclass: Berserker
• HP: 15974
• MP: 7987

The guild master of Akiba’s strongest fighting guild, D.D.D. During the mission to suppress the Goblin King, he was caught in a bizarre accident and went missing. According to some intel, it seems that he has ended up in the Chinese server, though he has lost a portion of his memories. Even though someone’s curse is eating away at him, he seems to be at peace. Right now, he’s living something of a comfortable retirement, with a young maid as his company.

(The rest of his description reiterates what we’ve learned about him through previous volumes. Not much point in translating it.)

Cat Motif Pocket Watch: Created by Akaneya, there is a mouse on the hour hand and a cat on the minute hand. Unusual for a pocket watch, there is an alarm clock function in it that sounds like a cat’s meow, which will gradually become louder and louder. Because of that, Krusty loves using it to play pranks on Faa Diu* by pretending to be a cat in hiding, then scaring her.

*Faa Diu has previously been translated as "Hua Diao" and "Fadeyao" (based on the Mandarin and furigana readings given for her name, respectively). It took me a while to figure out that the name is meant to be read in Cantonese and not Mandarin, so it's Faa Diu. For those who haven't kept up/forgot the spoilers, she's a little girl from the Marten Tribe (an NPC "good" race) who's caring for Krusty.

Mink Long Robe: A comfortable wide-sleeved robe with wolf embroidery on the sleeves. It was kept in the White Peach Shrine and seems to have been made of Phantasmal material, giving it a luxurious feel. It has become a bit frayed over the years and has lost most of its magical effect, but it’s perfect for everyday wear.

Red Ginseng Tea: A blend of herbal medicines and red ginseng tea leaves. It’s a kind of recovery item and bolsters blood formation. Krusty drinks it to mitigate the effects of Bleeding from his wounds. Curiously, the taste is different every time. If Faa Diu brews it, she adds a ton of honey.

I wonder what Kanami and her party will end up doing in Akiba if they get there before the series ends?

Spoiler:

I don't think Kanami and her group are going to even make it to Akiba, The way the story is headin i think that both Shiroe's group and Kanami's group will meet up in Tanegashima.


This is just speculation on my end but their is some evidence to back this up.


Tanegashima is the location of the Jaxa space station launch site in the real world and it is were Roe2 has secured the Rocket that would take them to the Moon.


Kanami's group decided to take a go around group and leave the chinese server to the south were vietnam is located, this to avoid the struggles of the Chinese guilds and won't get caught up with their guild wars.


Rayneshia and Misa are all headin to meet them in the south sea and picked them up their when krusty's curse is lifted. In the mean time shiroe will resolve the politcal infighting between Westelande and Plant Hywaden.


After that, Both Kanami and Shiroe's group will hear from Roe2 and her securing the space launch site and as they head their, Kanami's group would meet them their and they all decide to take the trip to the moon and confront the Traveler Race and figure out how these came about and ultimately connect both worlds.


That is what i believe anyway.

It's been a while, but Mamare's finally updated with the next chapter of the web novel: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n8725k/132/

There are also two new profiles released for Volume 11, for Faa Diu and and Zhu Huan. Will get around to translating them sometime.

For Chapter 132:

Spoiler:

The whole thing is a fight between Mizufa and Roreil. I don't understand the whole situation, but from what I could gather, Mizufa and Roreil are off somewhere else doing stuff. Mizufa decides that Roreil's in her way and tries to kill him, only to get her attack blocked. As it turns out, his armor is actually Royal Guard Armor, or a new armor designed based on it, that boosts his level to 100 and gives him all the perks of a Royal Guard. It's also confirmed that the Ten-Seat Council indeed played a role in Nelles' rampage, by giving him the funds to purchase the sword that possessed him.

Of course, Mizufa is absolutely delighted by this turn of events, since Roreil went from an easy slaughter to a formidable enemy capable of keeping her on her toes. She wanted to kill Roreil and take the armor for herself, but upon seeing there is no way for her to do that, she chooses to escape after giving him a warning that he and his lineage are nothing to Nureha, and that Nureha holds Akiba far more dear.

[tsunade666]

Thanks for the spoilers. lol. Indeed, Nureha has more interest on Akiba(shiroe) Than Westlands.

[Gatmar]

Thx, it is good to see the web novel is back on track.

quick question, do you suppose this arc is going to be another 2 parter? like the goblin king arc.

[DQueenie13]

Chapter 133: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n8725k/133/

Spoiler:

The first part is about Tohya and Rudy meeting with Eins and Saiguu Touri. To recap from two volumes ago, Eins basically caused the collapse of the first Round Table Council, but lost in his bid for Akiba Governor to Rayneshia. She and her supporters created the New Round Table Council while Eins left Honesty with the few supporters he had left and went on a self-imposed exile.

Now, Rudy and Eins are meeting at a restaurant in Minami. Rudy requests for the records of the Nine-Tails Dominion, for the full story behind the fall of the corrupt Code family and the powers that ruled the Dominion afterwards.

Meanwhile, Shiroe, Soujiro, Charasin, Isaac and their attendants are at the Imperial Palace in Kyou, a short distance away from Minami. There, they discuss Indicus’ role in all of this, and Shiroe decides to meet with her.

[tuckersister]

Finally, Shiroe will confront Indicus.
