It's time for an SAO Sword Art Online thread. Discuss all things Sword Art Online!Thew new volume of Sword Art Online Progressive has come out after two years of waiting!The light novel series where the premise is a science fiction story about escaping a virtual world by beating the game where death is REAL and the stakes are HIGH.Such an amazing premise that suggests progression, action, adventure, game systems, strategy, and with science fiction themes of technology and consciousness.Which was promptly ignored in favor of having yet another romance/slice of life/rom com where the true mary sue self insert rich girl that everyone loves for being a girl forces some normal guy who is memed into being stronger than he really is to be her boyfriend. Truly just like our anime and manga.What happened in this volume of a story that implies progression, you ask?The normal guy becomes a vampire and gets his ass kicked for the 5th time.A meaningless story.And a promise that something will happen in the next volume.Maybe.
I’ve been enjoying the Unital Ring manga, but I’ve heard they go back to the Underworld, and I’ve gotta say, that sounds pretty boring compared to what’s been going on.
For a second I thought the manga had continued but that's really the cover of the light novel.
>>288053364It's like they just cant let go of the underworld. I mean i get why they wouldn't because that has the biggest story and lore implications but eeehh unital ring has the action.
>>288053418It's sad the progressive manga will never have a good artist again
>>288053878Doesn’t help that the last (or was it 2nd to last?) artist bowed out early. Pretty sure he was getting hate for his art, I doubt many would want to take the followup job, if there was one.
Is progressive actually good?
>>288054152Yeah something like that, but to be honest not many people can follow up tawawawawawawa who has the specialty of doing what OP talked about and highlighting (insert girl) doing (insert thing)
he had a chance to start over and do it right, SAO was so big beforeand he fucked it up for a second timei cba with the Asuna wanking and the romanceI get it would never go away, I didn't want it to completely disappear either, but this second run is just the same shit as the first one but with comatose worthy filler and paddingI cba
>>288053332Based high effort post Is progressive good? I never finished the war of the underworld novels but I loved the 10 or so alicization I read.
>>288055873The only thing left of the series right now is oddly enough, slice of life spin offs.
>>288055873Second run?By start over you mean with alicization?Because Alice and Kirito (and all pairs in that trio) were so good lol, I hope Asuna doesn't get in the way... (Didn't finish the novels yet)
>>288056164NoI mean progressiveFirst half of Alicization was pretty good, I wont deny I liked it as well
>>288056130OP put more effort into his post than reki in his series thats for sure lmao
>>288055873I want to drive my head into the wall every time they talk about real life trivia over a meal in progressive.
dude when the fuck will that fucker end the unital ring arc and finish the story? hopefully it gets fully animated.
>>288056875I kind of forgot what unital ring was about.
>>288056130>Is progressive good?Reasonably good. Not without its flaws but does a decent job of showing them clearing the first several floors.
>>288056130It's good until a certain point and then it becomes what the red pilled SAO fan said.Full on Asuna wanking.
>>288053332>all things Sword Art OnlineThis is in the mahjong gacha. I rolled and got no one
>>288056875>finish the storyIt's a foreign concept for Reki.
>>288061047Kizmel is kirito's wife who kills him with snu snu
