I know I'm probably a few years late, but I recently had the time to sit down and attempt to catch up to the Sword Art Online light novel series. First thing I'd like to mention is perhaps the story for this arc, which deviated from the serious life-or-death battle royales from the previous volumes, and instead brought in a completely different life-or-death concept. Full Dive technology is expanding outside of gaming into the medical field, and more of the real world is getting involved.

Yuuki Konno was the perfect character to play the role of the tragic heroine, riddled with a history of bad luck yet can smile like an angel. The ending was so tearjerking, I couldn't help but stop multiple times to dry my tears. I'm pretty sure my feelings are being properly conveyed, but I'd like to say how I thoroughly enjoyed and loved reading this volume, each page a masterpiece in itself. I'm depressed to see Yuuki go, but she died happily with friends all around her.

10/10

Although I will say that this volume was a bit cliche - even with that - the writter didn't fail to make it a huge success. It was really well written and even I was getting the feels near the end. Especially when all of ALO comes to see Yuuki goodbye. The writter finally did expand out the virtual world and even linked the previous stories together with it. I can finally see why Kagaya did on what he did. Hopefully they will go in dept about Kagaya and everyone and not just focus on the game, or take it side by side.

9.5/10

He gets defeated in a fight the reader never saw and he admitted he wasn't fighting with all his strength. He also saves Asuna and co. before the boss fight.

Why did I skip this volume? Why am I so stupid? Thankfully I decided to read it even though I already knew everything that was going to happen it was just as impactful as the adaptation (actually even more).
Asuna finally a backstory and plenty of development in this arc, Yuuki was a really likeable character and I loved her interactions with Asuna, this arc is a complete masterpiece, my favorite arc from SAO, the ending left me in tears and the Asuna vs. Yuuki fight was EPIC - Volume score: 20/5.
