In the near future, a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online has been released where players control their avatars with their bodies using a piece of technology called Nerve Gear. One day, players discover they cannot log out, as the game creator is holding them captive unless they reach the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss.

Reviews

A thoughtful, incredibly long review from a person who really enjoyed Sword Art Online.

I bitch and whine about SAO's shortcomings for 3k words.

One of the few that set a big thing in motion. The hate is also too much and it doesn't deserve every damn bit of it
