I want to read the Light Novel and i see that there are MANY vols. my questions is, in what order should i read them so that i follow the main storyline only. i saw a few vols. that were side stories and it's leaving me a little confused.

Do you mean the main storyline as just the Aincrad part?

Trying to read them to follow the main storyline in that case will also leave you confused cause some of the side story volumes have plots from later on as well as early on. Otherwise:

Volume 2, 8 then 1.

Assuming your not thoroughly confused by now, there is also the Aria in the Starless Night SS that is part of the storyline. :P

If you mean the main storyline as what the author wrote, then just read the volumes in numerical order :D

Volumes 2,7,8 are side stories so you could skip them,but I suggest you read at least the "Morning Dew Girl (Aincrad 22nd Floor, October 2024)" chapter from volume 2,the reason is in the spoiler.


So you can read in the order 1,2(Only the Morning Dew Girl (Aincrad 22nd Floor, October 2024) chapter),3,4,5,6,9,10.

By the way,most side stories already appeared in the anime:
