Check out the novel that ignited the phenomenon!

In the year 2022, gamers rejoice as Sword Art Online - a VRMMORPG (virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game) like no other - debuts, allowing players to take full advantage of the ultimate in gaming technology: NerveGear, a system that allows users to completely immerse themselves in a wholly realistic gaming experience. But when the game goes live, the elation of the players quickly turns to horror as they discover that, for all its amazing features, SAO is missing one of the most basic functions of any MMORPG - a logout button. Now trapped in the virtual world of Aincrad, their bodies held captive by NerveGear in the real world, users are issued a chilling ultimatum: conquer all 100 floors of Aincrad to regain your freedom. But in the warped world of SAO, "game over" means certain death - both virtual and real....

A genuine improvement over the anime

It cuts out all the fluff! No Silica, no Lizbeth, no Yui, and I genuinely believe that’s an improvement. It definitely still has some issues, some of which are just the story of SAO, and some of which are the novel dragging a bit on unnecessary details. However, if you’re even a mild fan of SAO, then give it a shot!

Good but felt rushed

I think the story was good but it was too rushed imo. we went from floor 1 to floor 74 in a few sentences. But the voice performance was great.

love this series

I am so glad that this has been released as I have a copy of the book but have found myself on the go a lot lately to sit and read. its good clean. fun and exciting.

If you loved the anime...

Audio book was excellent! There were a few details that I feel the anime missed that were fleshed out better in the softnovel. Having one of the main voice actors provide narration was also a plus. Hopefully more English audio book adaption of soft novels are on the way!

I love it i love it

I’m going to listen to all of your stories of sword art online I’m have six books now by

Wonderful

I have enjoyed this book and I'm waiting for the next book. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long, November 25 to December 25 would be nice for the next book.

As a thought, and I understand the cost, it would be really nice if more of the voice actors joined the next book.

Amazing

If your a fan of sword art online or a good romance novel I definitely recommend this book

I love the TV Show

I been asking for this for year I love the TV Show and always thought we should get this or a podcast.... Bryce brings all of this to life cant wait for the next installments

So Much Fun!

So excited that they have now started recording these light novels in Audible! Can't wait to listen to more!
