Sword Art Online (light novel)
| I'm at page 58. I bought the English licensed version. I have a problem or rather a question. There are no boss fights like the anime No boss 1 fight, no boss 2. And they introduced Asuna in AGIL's Shop at floor 67? So my question is: Are they gonna tell us flashbacks or anything like that? or will they keep it this way? |

Yes, there are, later on, keep reading and you'll see them And they introduced Asuna in AGIL's Shop at floor 67? This is how it went in the original story (Web Novel), ep 2 of the first season is based on Aria in the Starless Night which is a Retcon of the main story, if you want to see more Boss fights I suggest you to read the Progressive series which focuses more on the game mechanics, boss fights and the interactions between Kirito and Asuna. So my question is: Are they gonna tell us flashbacks or anything like that? or will they keep it this way? No, and you shouldn't care about stuff like that, SAO is not about the game "Sword Art Online" it is about how VR affects people's lives, SAO main's genre is drama and not action, if you're looking for action in the novels you'll be disappointed because the novels focuses more on internal monologues, worldbuilding and character development rather than action/fight scenes, the only reason why the anime seemed so "action-packed" was because the director screw up and removed important details and explanations, rushed everything and only cared about the fight/action scenes, that's why it turned out to be that massive trainwreck that many people (including me) like to pretend that doesn't exists. |

It isn't like that, just wanted to know if I had the right novel, because it was rather cheap €9,50 but I was lucky then it was a sale. |
