Sword Art Online review

Note: I will only be talking about Project Alicization arc (volume 9 to 18), which isn't in the anime. I found the previous 8 volumes not much different from the anime.

Story (10):
The setting is unique, different from the other settings in the first 8 volumes. It's more similar to an alternate universe, than a virtual world. The virtual world isn't for entertainment uses, which makes the functions within the virtual world which is called Underworld, different from the other three virtual worlds. The Project Alicization arc is set in 2026, after the Mother's Rosario arc. It introduces new technology, and it's not just going from the NervGear to the AmuSphere. This new technology made the virtual world incredibly different and realistic. There are many things that happens throughout the 10 volumes, and is separated into two sub-arcs - Human Empire sub-arc (volume 9 to 14) and War of the Underworld sub-arc (volume 15 to 18).

Art (9):
There isn't much to say about the art. It's just the art is drawn very well and the scenes which are drawn makes sense.

Character (9):
Kirito - Unlike the first 8 volumes, Kirito doesn't seem to be as much as a Gary Stu. Even though he does defeat enemies by himself, he does require help to overcome challenges. It's true that there are females who likes Kirito, but there isn't as much as a harem.
Eugeo - Eugeo is a likeable character, and is the one who is very different from Kirito's reckless behavior.
Alice - Unlike Asuna, Alice isn't just there to be shipped with Eugeo. She's pretty strong, dependable and actually fights throughout the whole story.

Enjoyment (10):
With all of the events which you wouldn't expect happening, it's hard to not like it. Especially from volume 14, every volume has a main event happening, and it's not Kirito being a Gary Stu.

Overall (10):
I highly recommend this to people who are interested in watching the anime or have already watched the anime before.
