Sword Art Online: Progressive Volume 4 Discussion

Martin_Taylor said:
So, I just finished volume 4. Events known from GGO are starting to mix in (well, more like event that lead to creation of Laughing coffin, which lead to those events).
Kirito x Asuna relationship starting to resemble original counterpart from latest of Aincrad floors, I got feels like point of collision and their separation is coming. On other hand, writer also could choose to go alternative path, because I feel like he really doesn't want to write story without Asuna.
Not that I even hope we will get all 75 floors volume (that would be quiet epic saga) but volume 5 will be released and hopefully translated this year, maybe Reki-dono will focus on progressive more now. :)

depends really . Atm it seems progressive isn't a priority atm . A givin that reki is working with A-1 on season 3 and he's been planning the last arc which the first volumes comes out in December . Plus he has accel world and isolater.. But I think the plan is to cover the timeskips fully .

Which floor where covered in the orginal vol agian ??

Mattinator95 said:


Wow he's got alot of work to do to sync it all up

Martin_Taylor said:


Yeah, he should rather start working on it. That's why I wrote I don't believe we will ever get all 75 floors. Even though 70+ Volume novel series would be pretty awesome, I admit it.

@Mattinator95 As far as I know, only Volume 1 covered two floors, 1st and 2nd, I read till volume 4 (5th floor) and volume 5 was release at paperback (at least in English) only this month and sadly for me It was sold immediately, so now I have to wait to restock before being able to read it. And better not he dare to split it to two. Even though game world exploring in progressive is amazing. Well, no, Grimgar is amazing, Aincrad is pretty neat as well though.
