Sword Art Online Progressive (light novel)
| I'm considering purchasing the first volume of the LN next month, when it comes out in the ocident. I was thinking about borrowing it to some friends that never had any contact with the SAO universe, but I don't know if this version covers the essential points of the original. Do you guys think people who never had contact with the SAO universe will understand everything reading this version, or would it be better to just borrow them the original? Thanks in advance! |
| Hello, I think, its essential to read at least first 4 chapters (also its recommended to read "The first day" side story from Volyme 8) of original light novel before reading SAOP. That's because the first chapter of SAOP ("Aria in the Starless Night") takes place one month after the SAO incident. So I'd recommend them to read those introductory chapters at least, before SAOP to comprehend what is really happening. SAOP is mostly focused on characters experiences after getting into such extreme situation, so its very important to know in what situation they found themselves in and how did they get in there. By the way, since SAOP was written much later than original series, it may contain minor spoilers of original story and minor story discrepancies. So if they will ever plan to read the original series, i think they should be aware of them :) I hope that helps :) |

| Actually, yes, it is possible, but what Yohimo said also applies to really understand and appreciate it. |
