I don't think he's specifically breaking all the weapons.
In the novel, it's mentioned that some weapons are just gradually degraded from failed attempts to +0, which is something far more plausible to accept.

And if he's the only player smith so far, it's possible that he gets a ton of orders, and those exceptionally bad results are buried under all the normal ones.

Heard some bathing scenes got censored with swimsuits in the Japan release.

Also, there are stars in Aincrad, if you go over to the edges of the castle, you can see them. They have the same constellations visible from Earth, so it's probably just Earth's night sky being used.

In the novel, Kizmel doesn't wear a swimsuit, because Elves apparently don't have the concept. She comments that wearing clothes while trying to wash yourself is counterproductive, humans are weird.

Kizmel later gets a swimsuit from Asuna, which makes more sense than Kirito having one on hand.

Well, it's just a small thing, censorship slipperyslope whatnot, it's really just a small thing. I do wonder if there were any writing changes that were applied, if necessary.

This scene never happens in the LN. Asuna never even gets the Martial Arts skill in it, I think.

Nezha is actually a reoccurring character though, and seems to be doing well enough as of the current Progressive novel.

>>149371873
>Are the characters still pants-on-head retarded and nonsensical
The human villains, proto-Laughing Coffin? Yeah, they're pants-on-head retardedly edgy, but that's their thing. The regular clearers are rather clear headed.
Kibaou is a great guy in Progressive, but people will only remember what a bitch he was in the anime.

>is Kirito still a gary stu faggot?
The manga tones it down a lot in comparison. For example, all the investigating done by Argo in this volume of the manga, Kirito did pretty much all of it himself in the novel.

On the other hand, other people are shown to do things Kirito can't, Argo can pretend to be Jesus Christ and walk on water for example.

That's it for volume 3. Volume 4's dump will be on Monday.

Volume 5's English release doesn't come until March, and who knows when that might get ripped. Don't expect a storytime for volume 5 anytime soon.

If you've read and enjoyed this thread up to this point, give it a bump at least once so that someone else might come along and do the same.

There's other smiths. (Liz got a cameo in the most recent novel.)

That said, the pace of progression in the novels are obviously slower than they would be for a regular MMO.

Novel 5, Argo has plenty of screentime, so I can't even begin to imagine what the manga will do with her.

She has less screentime in the volume 4 of the manga though.

>Manga needs to pick up the pace a bit.

Well, it's not like Kawahara is going very fast with the novels either, and you can easily cover a lot of novel with a little manga.

So the manga chapters come out monthly. About five chapters make up one volume, let's say two volumes cover one floor.

Glop happens after floor 74, so if Progressive keeps on going floor by floor, it would take 60 years for the manga to get there.

But the novels come out about once a year, and every volume except the first covers one floor.

Original plot set after S2 but before Alicization happens. Some sort of AR MMORPG, the first ever, apparently.

You'd have thought AR would come before VR, but apparently not in SAO.

Oh wow, i noticed that. Why is Kirito acting like this?

Good anatomy

>>149374393
because that's who he is

Kawahara (and Kiseki here) seem to be making his Progressive portrayal fall in with what we see in the post ALO arcs, especially Alicization: that Kirito is a smug prick who's pretty fun to get along with. Instead of EDGY McBeater loner-kun

>>149372240
Grinding is difficult when you can't spend essentially thousands of lives in order to test strategies against certain monsters. Also SAO has a weird sort of limited resource system, I assume it just replenishes very slowly instead of always being available in equal amounts to everyone.

No this is when young Alice got captured which is much earlier.

>>149377175
Doesn't she get captured after they fight off a small group of goblins? That's the corpse of the dark dragon or whatever.
I was so hype because I thought they were going to enter the demon territory, but then then went back and got caught in human shenanigans instead.

>>149377233
No this is the first time they went to the dragon cave, Alice accidentally crossed the border thus violating the rules and got brought to the capital. Later on Kirito and Eugeo went back to the cave to rescue Alice's sister from a group of goblins. You probably mixed up the two events.

>>149377337

That never happened. The fan translations for the Progressive LN (and manga) were slow as balls. And were also shit. YP is actually infinitely faster and better than the fan translations we got. You think I exaggerate, but Dreadful Decoding was truly dreadful back then.

People only care about shitting on something massively when that something is popular. They're motivated by desire to oppose others and feel better than them, like you are now. You're giving yourself too much credit to be honest.

The progressive fight between Kirito and the PKer guy is the second best fight in the series after Volume 14's entire length.

Yes, its great. SAO tried so hard to be serious (despite its obvious otaku-fancervice nature) to the point of unintentional comedy.
