Of all the haremettes, I have surprisingly high approval for Sinon & Kirito. Putting his personality in the GGO arc aside, Sinon's backstory was believeable and the way she was set up, it really does draw you in with how people try to cope with their trauma. After their cave scene, it draws out from you both the question: "Why do people like guns?" and the answer. Oh, and a real-life PK was more believable compared to the ALO set up. I'm not saying it was well set up - in all honesty it's still too perfect to be real - but Kawahara's writing definitely improved after ALO. Makes you wonder if he started writing Accel World and GGO at around the same time. |

Though, there are scenes where she blatantly teases Kirito and the other girls (Caliber scene, "Think of my when you're using this sword, :3") |

Reki is an example of LN authors who improve over time, with higher quality writing in later volumes, as these authors gain experience. I see the same phenomena in Hagani and Haruhi too. Which is why I am skeptical of the theory that LN Authors normally suck in their second volume onward, and the subsequent corollary that all later volumes would therefore also suck.

I'm pretty sure when he upgraded from starter gear before setting out, he bought the best gear he could on short notice. Getting really good equipment takes either doing quests, or hunting around for a good smith and buying custom gear. Both of which take a lot of time, and Kirito had limited interest in spending time on MMO things when he just wanted to get to the World Tree. He completely skipped looking up anything about the races and just picked one he liked the looks of, bought gear that was serviceable for mobs likely to be encountered on the way, and that was it. He had no reason to think at the time he set out he'd need super high end gear, so why is the fact that he didn't get any supposed to be a strike against him? |

And he found out early on that the tree was the end game. It was hinted at before he even logged in, and found out from Leafa shortly thereafter. Entire races had tried to beat the tree, yet he was going to attempt it alone. So he thinks crappy low level gear is "serviceable" for the endgame dungeon that entire races have failed to beat? And yes, it was low level gear, Eugene even said so. Plus, he only got himself one sword. Even without the Dual Wield skill, it was still how he was used to fighting, and wouldn't have hurt to get a backup sword since he had money to spare. |

What Sacredus said.
With a set release date, it probably means their translator is already working on it. Fan translation efforts now would mostly be limited to spoilers. Besides, I'd like to see for myself how YP's translation compares to Baka Tsuki's work. |

about Sword Art Online the Video game player part of the mind notice something about the game for a Advanced game like this There was a lot of use for the menus
Game Advanced like this you think there will be a system you think of the skills that you want to use or items without the use of menu |
