It’s a bit surprising how well Asuna manages to carry the ecchi scenes by herself. The cream scene shown above was almost completely incidental in the novel, but the manga adds a lot of colour by inserting A-tier reaction faces. I prefer the manga because it expands on the ecchi scenes.

One thing that’s kind of annoying is the novel’s idea of “fanservice”, which consists of describing how beautiful Asuna is every two sentences, as if that’s her only character trait. This should go without saying, but please don’t read this post if you are allergic to ecchi. However, today I am not here to talk about the fascinating worldbuilding in SAO: Progressive. Today, I am here to talk about boobies. So far, I like it better than the main series. There’s also a heavier focus on the social dynamics of the game, even if most of it is explained to the reader via exposition dumps. The game mechanics play an important role in the plot beyond showcasing how awesome Kirito is. That said, Progressive is definitely a smoother read than Kawahara’s earlier writing, and the attention to worldbuilding is particularly impressive.

The spinoff series Sword Art Online : Progressive follows the time-held SAO tradition of not being the most progressive thing in the world. I have not yet gotten to the stage of wearing ladies’ undergarments on my head, however. You might like to imagine that I consume SAO with an expression like Kirito’s in the above picture.


And as a light novel connoisseur and all-round otaku trash, SAO falls squarely in my comfort zone. It’s not gonna challenge you particularly, but SAO definitely deserves credit for being good at what it is. Some of it is the ecchi/harem kind, but most of it is the gamer masturbation kind. The best/worst thing about Sword Art Online is that it is entirely fanservice.
