I like to think that the progressive series is the true form of SAO since it is full of details on each floor; questing, leveling up, getting equipments, skill descriptions and usage in combat, thoughts and development of the characters, interaction between Kirito and Asuna not in a romantic way but as a Party. This is really what SAO should be. Everything that the haters say that the original SAO is lacking is in this series.
I read until the volume 3 of this LN and this series captures what i imagined SAO would be and what i wished it would be. Each floor is
...
interesting and has its own unique setting and the exploration on each is just too good. Also, different characters are explored much more in this series than in the original, for example Argo. I think that characters here have a much more development than in the original. How i wish that this is the original SAO
I remember seeing Sword Art Online on my recommended list and read the synopsis. Just from reading the synopsis i was really excited since it looked very promising.
I watched the first episode and i thought "holy sh*t this is really going to be good and i have a whole 25 episodes of this" and i just got more excited when they cleared the first boss. I thought that is was gonna be a floor by floor exploration (which is what the progressive series is) since they always emphasize how aincrad has 100 floors and all that stuff. I was kind of disappointed on episode 3 as they skip into 20-ish floor which is a HUGE problem for the original SAO as they skip a lot of floors but i thought that there is no helping that if they want to focus on the floors near the 100th floor since there is only limited episodes. But the way they ended the aincrad just made me feel betrayed and disappointed.
I wish that Reki Kawahara would just say f*ck it and just remake the Aincrad arc using this series and just finish until the 100th floor all the way. But i think that it is next to impossible.
I think that many people watched the anime thinking that it would be what progressive is like (Myself included). Which is why i think lots of people hate on SAO because it is different on what they thought it was gonna be and it has so much potential wasted. This series is for those who hate SAO. I recommend this whoever liked the original SAO series. It will make you love it more. But i recommend this LN specially to those who hate the SAO series. Because I understand why you hate the SAO series and the progressive offers what you think is bad or what the original series or anime is lacking
