My guess is that Heath cliff aka MOTHER FUCKING KAYABA BASTARD BITCH asset Kirito up

This is one of the best fics in fanfiction. I really love it. I can totally imgagine this being the ending of the cannon series. I really loved it!

This story was a treat to read, thanks for writing it. You deserve having this at the top of the archives.

On the whole a fairly enjoyable piece. You have some good interaction with the supporting cast as they work to help Kirito. I love Klein and it was great to see him shine as a true friend. The Epilogue was where it loses ground. The lack of resolution for Kirito and Asuna's romance was somewhat grating. A scene where they actually get to meet would have been more satisfying than some phone conversations that don't really go anywhere. They way it's framed made me wonder if Asuna is being wholly truthful about everything. Considering nobody else from SAO seems to have seen her post-game made me wonder if she hiding something. The way you mention Sugou makes me wonder...

Very interesting alternative take on the SAO tale... and in some ways a braver though bleaker one. You tied up the tale well, kept a continuity with the characters and knew when to end it. Thanks for sharing.

The ending felt.. kind of a bland/bitter taste. In the end, they don't meet up and no romantic progress was made, well, aside from the phone calls which amount to nothing. If you're going to explain LDR to me, then the ending you just made is far from that. If they could meet, then why not? Since they can just give time to theirselves. As a writer yourself, you failed to express the relationship of the two canon couples, and even made an OOC Kirito (and that seemed to be evident throughout the chapters), wasn't he supposed to be calm, collected, and a person willing to sacrifice safetiness for the ones he cared about? You only showed the last trait, while the other two weren't. I'm not hating on this fic since you were the one who organized the story, but still, at least satisfy the readers ffs.

Oh gods... Go asuna!
So kirito really is a maiden in distress
Thats funny xD

"WHEN I PUT ON MY NERVE GEAR I TOUCHED MYSELF"
I dont quite get that

Saw a rec of this fic saying kirito is a maiden in distress and that piqued my interest

Lol, Nagano is the place where my favorite manga series Deadman Wonderland began XD

Sorry, but I think I'm going to wait until after I finish episode 8 to read this. XD

*punches hole in wall* FUCK! I HATE IT WHEN OTHER PLAYERS TAKE THE FINAL KILL BONUS! THEY DO IT TO ME ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN I'VE BEEN HACKING AWAY AT THE BOSS FOR 30 MINUTES!

There are no other ways in how I can describe this other than Absolutely Divine

Wow. This... This is one of those stories that just leaves your mind completely blank. It leaves you feeling as though you don't know what to do now. It takes a LOT to make me feel this way. In fact, in my twenty eight years, it's only ever happened to me once before. There isn't anything else that I can say other than... well done, I guess. Thank you for allowing me and countless others to read your piece.

It was long and the story was like a real novel. Good job
