Read the novel that ignited the phenomenon!After three hundred years of conflict, a new era begins for the Underworld. The Lost Child of Vecta, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, has defeated the Dark God and given the world its first taste of peace. The human realm and dark realm have begun to intermingle, sparking the beginning of a much-needed cultural exchange. But while some see this as an opportunity to bury the hatchet and move forward, others are determined to sow the seeds of chaos anew. High in Central Cathedral, Apprentice Integrity Knight Ronie Arabel’s heart sinks as she receives foreboding words from Swordsman Delegate Kirito: “At this rate, there’s going to be another war.” “War will come again.”

My first audiobook

I’ve watched sword art online every year since it first came out because of how much I enjoy the anime. It’s one of the few anime that actually satiate me, which I know sounds weird, but I have a hunger for anime in three months sports and I have to watch dozens to be “satiated.”
This year, 2026, was the first time that I made it all the way through season 1-3, and needed more. Thankfully, there’s another 10 volumes for me to go sync my teeth into, but I’ve never been a fan of reading anything else other than manga. So I never got into the light novels as far as reading them, let alone listening to them.
This was a wonderful surprise, I was listening to it while working and did not find any interruption in my duties. As soon as I heard the English voice actor for Asuna as the narrator, I was incredibly excited. You can’t imagine how disappointed I was to find out that volume 20 has not been released as an audiobook yet despite it being out for years now. My hunger for more sword art online has only grown, and I might actually have to go and read it myself.

Story was enthralling and I look forward to see how my favorite page comes out of her feelings.
