Sword Art Online Chapter 16.5 – Two years worth of EXP flowed into Asuna *GLOP GLOP*

So yeah, yesterday’s post about Sword Art Online had me joking about the fact that Asuna was insinuating that they could have sex in SAO when she started stripping in front of Kirito. Because my common sense told me that it was obviously impossible to do so unless they wanted to teabag the whole night. Hours later, I found about that the author of the novels had a bonus chapter on his website…

*drum rolls*

Where Kirito and Asuna have sex in a CERO B video game.

Uh...huh

…Wait, what?

So, lemme get this straight. An MMO developed by a major gaming company implemented a feature in which two players are able to engage in simulated intercourse. A game that was hyped up to an unbelievable level of notoriety before its release and apparently had a CERO rating low enough that minors are allowed to own the game or have it bought by their parents. A game that feels so real, it might as well replace real life.

Welp. 2022. Birth rates in Japan decrease even more. No wonder this whole brain-frying predicament happened in the first place. According to Reki Kawahara, ten years from now Japan’s video game safety checks and censorship becomes so lenient that they become lazy at the same time. Now, my question is, do they still blur out the genitalia in SAO? lololol

GLOP GLOP GLOP all over silica

(^ Exclusive ecstasy update for Phantasy Star Online 2? WILL IT BE ABLE TO HANDLE SUCH REVOLUTIONARY AND REALISTIC SOUND EFFECTS? HM, THE POSSIBILITIES.)

Looks like I’m going to have to ignore the BS extras that the author put into the web novels if I’m going to take this series at least somewhat seriously. :P

  1. Acctually the explanation was that during the betta test, male players who experienced the full dive for the first time complained that it was disturbing to be missing body parts in such a realistic world and the company therefore decided to make the player avatars anatomically correct.

  2. @M1k3y: That’s even more ridiculous that they tried to hand-wave it with an explanation like that.

    “I want a functioning penis in this game. Thanks Blizzard!”

    “Don’t worry players, we’re here to serve you. Oh yeah, it’s still open for kids and teenagers.”

    The prospect of it is just too silly. I just can’t take it seriously, sorry. There’s suspension of disbelief, and then there’s a really bad excuse to write (bad) erotic content in an MMO story.

  3. M1k3y’s explanation is misleading. It’s not that the beta testers just complained, it’s that there was a notable change in their mental health after being in a dive for more than 48 hours. Why they would be testing for 48+ hour gaming sessions is beyond me.

    That aside, I felt the chapter was just incredibly awkward for various reasons. For one, at least in the translation I was reading, Kirito is explaining the whole experience, and as he’s explaining it, he dives down these ‘scene-justification’ tangents and returns to the matter at hand with an apology for digressing. As well, it happens to be both character’s first times at going at it (and Asuna admits to ‘playing single player’ in SAO, which is how she knows the option works), but Kirito is the boldest virgin I’ve ever heard of.

    Probably the most disturbing part of the whole scene is the fact that the author NEVER lets the reader forget that it’s taking place in a game. With the low amount of story/world development in the chapter coupled with the fact that it’s written in such an awkward (and disturbing) way, I fail to see what Kawahara was trying to accomplish with it.

    I’m glad I read it though. I find myself craving to know more about the full dive technology and the stories surrounding it, which is why I’m thoroughly enjoying the first part of volume 5. It seems that the more pointless the info is, the more interested I am. This is a feeling I never had until I started reading the novels before watching the anime.

  5. @licayan-09: I suppose his two-years worth of semen was from watching porn as well.
