Anyway. GGO is somewhat interesting a setting; the problem with SAO has always been the characters: lack of development, lack of agency, that sort of thing. Take Kirito out of the picture and this might have a chance. After all, it's because Kirito sucks everyone's agency that the characters usually remain so dull and underdeveloped.

Does that include Allison? I know the Allison & Lillia anime had its issues but I liked what little of the Allison manga I was able to find in English. (I haven't found a translation of the original novels.) |

NOT that I'm good at FPS (I'm low to middle-of-ground in rankings and suck at sniping), but...just to make everyone in-game go WTF WHO THE HELL WAS THAT LITTLE PINK SPORE THAT KILLED ME?!?

I added a link in the opening post to the fan translation. If this novel is licensed, the link will be removed. If someone asks for a link to the fan translation, do not reply with the link. Instead reply with "see the opening post."

"-Squad Jam-" should be removed from the thread title. While the series so far is about the Squad Jam tournament, both the second and third book changed that part to "2nd Squad Jam",
The namnig scheme is roman numerals after "Gun Gale Online" (I, II, III, IV), followed by a subtitle ("Squad Jam", or "2nd Squad Jam" in this case) See the english titles on the covers: |
