In the year 2022, gamers rejoice as Sword Art Online – a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) like no other – opens its virtual doors, allowing players to take full advantage of the ultimate in gaming technology: NerveGear, a system that allows users to completely immerse themselves in the game world by manipulating their brain waves to create a wholly realistic gaming experience.

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 one hundred floors of Aincrad to regain your freedom.

"The Sword Art Online Light Novels have a slightly different feel to them than their Manga and Anime counterparts. I enjoy reading the precise details that have carefully been translated from the original Japanese texts and it’s phenomenal. The descriptions, dialogue and depictions of the action sequences are truly an enthralling read. I do reccomend at least knowing the plot of the anime as well, as this novel is actually set mainly in the endgame story with the whole "no log out button, if you die in the game, you die in real life" sequence only spanning the first few chapters. The novel is written from the perspective of Kirito and introduces characters as if he already knows them which might be a little jarring for anyone who is going into the franchise blind. Ultimately, the story is very captivating and adds depth where the other depictions lack, if I were to decide, I would say the Light Novels are the best depiction of the Sword Art Online franchise."
"Surprisingly good read, became interested in the anime first then decided to read the novel. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is to read, no harsh translations from Japanese to English. The quality of the book itself is a very slight let-down, very flimsy product, however, if it is well taken care of then it will last a long time. Would recommend to fans of the anime who have not read the book, and would recommend to anyone interested in light novels."
"The book goes into more detail in areas, than the anime, it's written well. A great book to pass the time."
"This Light Novel has an awesome story plot and it was well translated from JAP to ENG"
"Fantastic book"
