Re: SAO (II)
OH WOW YOU DO? yeah i'm VERY INTERESTED it would be awesome if you could send them to me!! or show me where to get them ehehe. i'm planning on reading the whole series in proper order rather than what i did before which was just reading the asuna stuff HAHAHA
so when reki came up with the idea to write progressive he had qualms about who he was going to make the heroine in that arc because if he made it asuna it would probably clash with the original source material that aincrad was. he eventually decided to make it asuna though because he has always thought of her as the main main heroine and kirito's partner above all else. his plan was to write from floor 1 and up. if he made it some other random girl there wouldn't be any problems with how kirito interacts with asuna in vol 1. because in volume 1 kirito says that he didn't talk to asuna much outside of the boss raid meetings and didn't know her well. but that would obviously be a lie if he was with her so much during progressive. that kind of thing. progressive is more like a retcon of aincrad and a re-telling from floor 1 and up. he's only got up to floor 3 tho and he was laughing and crying about how long it would take to write but that he definitely wanted to do it
in other words, HE KNOWS AINCRAD IS CHAOS AND THE KIRITO AND ASUNA RELATIONSHIP IS SUDDEN and he wants to fix it, lengthen it to the story it should have been, and keep asuna as the main girl at the same time
reki's writing has got TONS better since aincrad as far as pacing goes, yeah. but since they're SS they can be as long as he needs them
oh man is that what happened last week? i couldn't download the episode until LATE on sunday i was so upset

That description of Progressive sounds so good... it sounds like so much work, though, I'm really wondering how much of it Reki can actually deliver. Granted, what material does come out of it should be really interesting even if he burns out before he finishes. But yeah, he's been retconning like crazy in general and it's driving me crazy.....
Yeah, seems like Horrible's just having issues lately server-wise. Fingers crossed!

OH MAN YOU'RE A DARLING THANK YOU SO MUCH
i'm wondering too since it's SUCH A HUGE PROJECT if he wants to get to floor 75 with it or even to just floor 22 (iirc) where kirito meets the black cats. if he goes the way he is now that's 22 volumes. SHORT VOLUMES but the first 3 floors have been really cool so far. progressive is my fav EVEN WITH ALL THE RETCON it's good retcon for once. at least he knows he fucked up and he also knows about the harem shit too HAHA hence 'there is but one ultimate way'
well if all else fails i can read the novel HAHA

(Anonymous) 2014-09-05 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)(And GGO Spoiler-chan is probably the one you're thinking of, we just don't have that many characters in this arc.)
YOU'RE WELCOME I AM GLAD TO PROVIDE IN RETURN FOR THE THINGS EVERYONE HAS ALREADY PROVIDED ME. o/
I'm so intrigued by Progressive now maybe I'll poke at it slowly... I don't actually have the Progressive novel volumes, are they translated online too? :E Or is it mostly manga?
Re: SAO (II)
progressive is translated online, some of it at least. for the moment i can't find it hm... but i'll put what i have in google docs and post the link here later!

Thank you! Man it's like a giant SAO potluck in here. :3
Re: SAO (II)

OKAY SO I FOUND ALL THE STUFF ONLINE which makes it easier for me
Progressive: First Floor
Progressive: Second Floor

(Anonymous) 2014-09-06 06:21 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, there was his girlfriend/colleague or whatever I think I saw on the wiki. o/
Ahhh, those seem to be relatively old (though Concerto I think is newer, though I don't think I've finished Rondo... Thanks for the links, though!
Re: SAO (II)
they are kinda old but that's all i've been able to find. my googlefu is notoriously bad tho so maybe there's even more translated somewhere?
you're welcome! always glad to help. downloading the newest episode as we speak too [heavy breathing]
