That's in Progressive, right? I've got that on my Kindle and I'll probably end up starting that soon.

haven't read progressive. There are simply some side-stories released , I found the story in the material edition as far as I remember. The short story of the "murder" in town (also shown in the anime) is also there.

PS: SPOILER: Some of the characters from the murder story are also in GGO

Oh, I already knew that spoiler, sometimes surfing wikipedia out of boredom is a terrible idea. I'll have to look that one up.

Hopefully it's the same for me, was gonna read Alfheim anyway since I know they probably left some out, I just wasn't sure if I was gonna hate it the whole way through.

You'd also be wise to read the side stories up until the point you have reached.
I for example liked First Day , a rather short story of mere hours after SAO begins.

Is there actually an arc about AIDS

no , the sexual theme is mostly avoided (16.5 is not considered canon)
Although I just read through a seduction of one of the main characters to turn against Kirito , but Alicalization is a bit bolder on this.

I've heard from a few other LN readers that it's the best arc, it does seem rather interesting, unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the last arc as the writer stated he doesn't see an end in sight for SAO or Accel World's LNs. Since I liked the first volume, I don't want to see it take a vast quality drop other than Alfheim.

although Alfehim felt mostly rushed (there were some good moments in it too) , I hold SAO as a book in high regards overall.

No it was just here half assed attempts. Of course I'd assume she had unmentioned treatment blah blah blah. But if she was that adverse, after that long, she'd still be seeing a health professional.


And it makes no sense, its stupid

I'm not that knowledgeable about treatments of psychological trauma.
Even if we assume you're correct , for the sake of storytelling you can just get along with it , it's the personality and what brought it forth that's important.

(I have a minor in psychology so trust me)

She doesn't though. Her idea of that being immersion therapy wouldn't work. She would just freak out and never play. Immersion therapy is like starting so slow. Like here is cardboard in the shape of a gun with no markings.

but nope lets dive in

that's not the first step I think. Remember that replica of a gun in her room?
Also - I didn't say everything made perfect logical sense , in the anime they state that for some reason she doesn't feel so afraid of guns in the game itself.

then again - I remember very little of her IRL story.

He means GGO, that's where Shino shot that robber.

murdered*

1 shot can be an accident, two is confirming a kill. three is murder.

To be fair, he had already killed one of the tellers and was about to kill her mom. The first two shots hit him in the shoulder and chest and he kept coming. The third was the killshot when he lunged at her.
Unless the JPD is as retarded as SAO makes them look (The PK'ers from SAO get to go free with a slap on the wrist and they needed a kid to investigate the whole Death Gun debacle) Sinon was well within her rights.

It would be self defense in any nation, thats obvious

You'd think it would be but SAO is already so divorced from reality that I'd believe anything.

Though I'm not sure if that's entirely applicable since after the second shot he wasn't dead, and the third shot was because he was still going at her.

If the anime showed correct placement of shots, he wouldnt have gotten up


unless hes on pcp. you dont die on that shit

Anime doesn't always follow logic though. He did attempt to lunge at her after the second shot so she shot him again which killed him that time.

I ignore most things, suspension of willing disbelief. But things add up yo. THINGS ADD UP.

Well yeah, but I just used shot instead of murdered, there is a difference, but if he read the LNs he knows what I meant.

making sure you know

*GGO arc

It was, he just had to get rid of it because of something that would create issues with selling the volume with it in it or some shit like that

that is pure speculation

He still wrote it.

Also, from the few excerpts I've read, the authors writing is just meh and his style is meh.


Also who robs a post office?

the name under which 16.5 is written is not the same as the author of the novels. Whether he just used another alias or not is speculation.

I wouldn't say his style is anyhing grandiose but it's not a mere shounen - it's heavily broaching the subjects of human psychology , difference between virtual reality and reality and so on. I personally like psychological (or if you prefer philosophical) subjects , not one that depict the word as good-evil .

and I have no idea what you're referencing to with the post office robery?

Well he himself also called it an author written fanfiction since it was placed in his fan fiction area.

Since you're reading the LN how is Underworld? I've been buying Yen Press's releases so it won't be at GGO for maybe a year and Underworld in maybe two years.

by far it's the longest arc. In Underworld the main theme is whether anything differs humans from artificially created humans (or AIs) , the greed of a "noble" , power in believing youself and more should be on the way.
Similtaniously , I suspect Japan may get attacked IRL.

Is there actually an arc about AIDS

no , the sexual theme is mostly avoided (16.5 is not considered canon)
Although I just read through a seduction of one of the main characters to turn against Kirito , but Alicalization is a bit bolder on this.

Life is only shitty as a game because we're the characters, and the characters have no control, only the player does.

but what is a player , if not another character? In the end , we're all characters.

idk i dont mind it

am i wrong, he escapes his mediocre reality to escape to worlds were he easily advances , rather than being a real gamer and playing the hardest mmorpg there is LIFE

I rarely meet a gamer who doesn't state that if Life is a game , then it's a very shitty one.
Might want to watch the first episode of NGNL to understand what I mean.

so he's a pleb who can only feel good playing vida games, and stoping noobs. shiet nigga lrn to stop people everywere

you're merely making asumptions to irritate me >_>

idk i dont mind it

that first paragraph explains so much
he's completely oblivious to the advances of all the girls because he secretly likes men

That makes way too much sense.

you do realise he's married to Asuna , right? Although only in SAO.

OH, I'M SORRY
I completely forgot about his FICTIONAL marriage inside a VIDEO GAME

your point being? Are feelings/experiences invalid simply because they're caused by a virtual reality? The only difference is that the marriage isn't registered in the real world as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, it's invalidated, because it didn't occur in real life. You don't see people saying they aren't a virgin just because they went to Lion's Pride Inn for an hour on the Moonguard realm for WoW. If it didn't happen in reality, then what happened doesn't matter.

I'll put it like this:
Did you get angry at some point during a game? Or sad? Or happy? Any emotion at all?
That emotion wasn't only ingame , was it?

Not to mention that to SAO players Sword Art Online was quite literally their world for 3 years. The argument we're having right now is also depicted in the Aincrad arc of the LN btw.

>trying to make SAO not a shitty fetish of the week piece of garbage

Light novel is probably better, but damn did that anime suck.

the anime is slighly above average for it's genre , I have never said it's very good or smt.

smt?

Anime just disappointed me. Coulda had a wonderful anti-hero story about an aspie protagonist who can't relate to other humans and the intrigue required to climb this incredible tower.

What we were given was... just awful... Might just hate it so much because I had such high expectations.

Sword Art Online is ... only the beggining of the story.
Quite similiar to Mahouka atm , the viewers are being given only small piece by piece of information , the whole story is far more grandiose and compelling.

A pity I've given up on it.

Nope. I realize it's a game, so I know how pointless it is to get emotional over it. So the emotions are strictly in-game for me.

then you have never truly immersed yourself in a game or a book so far. Or even a movie/series/anime , since it's basicly the same.
If truly so , it's kind of pitiful.

I can immerse myself in shit just fine. Hell, I can even come up with extra dialogue that the characters could say in whatever situation they're in like I'm actually the character; I've done it before. But in the end, I still know it's not real and that it's not worth getting emotional over , and that is the main reason why I feel nothing. But that not's the only reason though; you see, Asperger's greatly dulls down one's emotional capabilities, so even if I immersed myself to the point where I honestly believed what I was reading/watching/playing/whatever was my actual life, I would still feel nothing. There's nothing that can be done about this, and nothing that will be felt.

at least symphatizing ?

Such a thing is... impossible for me, for the very same reasons. Pity me all you like, I won't care.

I shall only hope that you might someday emphasize enough with someone.

As I said, it is impossible. The syndrome dumbs down ALL emotional capabilities, empathy being the one hit hardest, to the point where empathy is non-existent.

How about at least understanding why other people do stuff? Or does that fall in the same cathegory.

That aside , you should look at the perks of it - you don't have to give a fuck about people.

That depends on what they do.

Oh believe me, I don't give a fuck already.

just stop while you're behind

behind?

It's alright, I don't understand how if you are married in-game and not married in real life than any romantic relationship is regarded invalid.

wait someone made it to the 13th volume?

But why

the LN is far better than the anime and is actually quite far from a typical shounen.

Since I liked the first volume, I don't want to see it take a vast quality drop other than Alfheim.

although Alfehim felt mostly rushed (there were some good moments in it too) , I hold SAO as a book in high regards overall.

Hopefully it's the same for me, was gonna read Alfheim anyway since I know they probably left some out, I just wasn't sure if I was gonna hate it the whole way through.

You'd also be wise to read the side stories up until the point you have reached.
I for example liked First Day , a rather short story of mere hours after SAO begins.

That's in Progressive, right? I've got that on my Kindle and I'll probably end up starting that soon.

haven't read progressive. There are simply some side-stories released , I found the story in the material edition as far as I remember. The short story of the "murder" in town (also shown in the anime) is also there.

PS: SPOILER: Some of the characters from the murder story are also in GGO

Oh, I already knew that spoiler, sometimes surfing wikipedia out of boredom is a terrible idea. I'll have to look that one up.

But semen glopped kind sir

that infamous chapter " 16.5 " is not confimer to be canon.

It was, he just had to get rid of it because of something that would create issues with selling the volume with it in it or some shit like that

Also who robs a post office?

the name under which 16.5 is written is not the same as the author of the novels. Whether he just used another alias or not is speculation.

I wouldn't say his style is anyhing grandiose but it's not a mere shounen - it's heavily broaching the subjects of human psychology , difference between virtual reality and reality and so on. I personally like psychological (or if you prefer philosophical) subjects , not one that depict the word as good-evil .

and I have no idea what you're referencing to with the post office robery?

watch/read shiki then. Tries to take a thoughtful approach to the traditional vampire story.

Tokyo Ghoul sparks my interest in the same way more or less.

Never heard of it. Premise?

the anime is running atm.

Wasn't that when Shion had her "tragic" gun story. Which btw was murder she shot three times.

He more tries too hard and it just makes it bleh. But I am a snob in the end.

I may be wrong, but I think her killing the guy freaks her mom out too.
If my eleven year old daughter pulled off a perfect Mozambique Drill to defend me, she'd be getting ice cream every night until she graduated high school.

I'd be more concerned with why my 11 year old had to save me. Worst. Mom. Ever.

SAO seems to have a trend of terrible moms. Kirito's mom somehow manages to miss his cousin lusting after his dick, Sinon's mom isn't hardcore and I think the mom in the Mother Rosario Arc is a bitch to her kid for having AIDS. I may be misremembering the last one. It was tough to read that arc through tears of laughter.

kiritio is the cousin

i think

Here in alabama its allowed though


so maybe...

Legality aside, Suguha is a husbando-stealing harlot.

oh god fairies....

It'll all be over soon.

memories are forever

That makes more sense. So two bad moms and one very inattentive aunt.

ah , I have close to no recollection of Shinon's past , I only remember that getting over her intense fear of guns is indeed the cause she starts GGO.

She doesn't though. Her idea of that being immersion therapy wouldn't work. She would just freak out and never play. Immersion therapy is like starting so slow. Like here is cardboard in the shape of a gun with no markings.

but nope lets dive in

that's not the first step I think. Remember that replica of a gun in her room?
Also - I didn't say everything made perfect logical sense , in the anime they state that for some reason she doesn't feel so afraid of guns in the game itself.

then again - I remember very little of her IRL story.

No it was just here half assed attempts. Of course I'd assume she had unmentioned treatment blah blah blah. But if she was that adverse, after that long, she'd still be seeing a health professional.


And it makes no sense, its stupid

I'm not that knowledgeable about treatments of psychological trauma.
Even if we assume you're correct , for the sake of storytelling you can just get along with it , it's the personality and what brought it forth that's important.

1 shot can be an accident, two is confirming a kill. three is murder.

To be fair, he had already killed one of the tellers and was about to kill her mom. The first two shots hit him in the shoulder and chest and he kept coming. The third was the killshot when he lunged at her.
Unless the JPD is as retarded as SAO makes them look (The PK'ers from SAO get to go free with a slap on the wrist and they needed a kid to investigate the whole Death Gun debacle) Sinon was well within her rights.

It would be self defense in any nation, thats obvious

You'd think it would be but SAO is already so divorced from reality that I'd believe anything.

Though I'm not sure if that's entirely applicable since after the second shot he wasn't dead, and the third shot was because he was still going at her.

If the anime showed correct placement of shots, he wouldnt have gotten up


unless hes on pcp. you dont die on that shit

Anime doesn't always follow logic though. He did attempt to lunge at her after the second shot so she shot him again which killed him that time.

I ignore most things, suspension of willing disbelief. But things add up yo. THINGS ADD UP.

Well yeah, but I just used shot instead of murdered, there is a difference, but if he read the LNs he knows what I meant.

making sure you know

*GGO arc

Well he himself also called it an author written fanfiction since it was placed in his fan fiction area.

What I hear
"I'm awesome and all alone in my awesomeness."
What it means
"I have no idea how to communicate with people."

tfw I know someone who says shit like that

tfw I just don't talk to a lot of people because of lack of shared interests

tfw only have a few very specific interests that I can talk about and am horrible at pretending otherwise

I don't pretend

fuck pretending

If you don't share at least one of my interests, you ain't a friend

I'm glad to kno I'm not the only one who had that feel before

So in other words, me.

And me in my school days unfortunately... I've since made peace with my inner introvert.

gamers tend to be bad at communicating , there's nothing denying that in SAO ..

"Before getting imprisoned within the death game, SAO, I had considered the male students of my school childish and had always kept them at a distance as mere associates."

Kirito confirmed for insufferable faggot. I already hated him for leaving his waifu to go gallivanting with Damaged Goods-chan, but now I have a whole new reason to dislike him.

your statement is so full of hate I have trouble deciding if you're actually serious.

also - his love interest has and always has been Asuna.

However, even after getting released from SAO, I couldn’t maintain myself, my persona, without continuing to prove my «strength in VR worlds». I was imprisoned by the complex those around me had, of recognizing me more as the hero, Kirito, who cleared the death game, instead of the flesh-and-blood, feeble Kirigaya Kazuto; or rather, I couldn’t even deny I might have been leading them on to do so myself. Despite how I knew in the depths of my heart, that perpetuating such bravado would put me further away from what truly mattered."

so he's a pleb who can only feel good playing vida games, and stoping noobs. shiet nigga lrn to stop people everywere

you're merely making asumptions to irritate me >_>

am i wrong, he escapes his mediocre reality to escape to worlds were he easily advances , rather than being a real gamer and playing the hardest mmorpg there is LIFE

I rarely meet a gamer who doesn't state that if Life is a game , then it's a very shitty one.
Might want to watch the first episode of NGNL to understand what I mean.

Life is only shitty as a game because we're the characters, and the characters have no control, only the player does.

but what is a player , if not another character? In the end , we're all characters.

idk i dont mind it

I have the .pdf's

Not according to Merriam Webster, Google, Urban Dictionary, etc etc.

after reading a bit - gender bender is either someone who has literally changed their gender or someone who ACTIVELY acts like the opposing gender. Kirito only hid information on his gender and let the other party make assumptions (and told the first character who wanted to buy the avatar that he's male) so I still consider your statement wrong.
