Reki said it himself in a afterword, had he submitted SAO and won the contest in 2001, the story may have concluded at just vol 1. Keep in mind that at the time he wrote the 2nd arc - Fairy Dance - it was a passion project. Reki's editor knew about his web novel series, and after reading through it, decided to convince Reki to publish SAO as well.įor better or worse, Reki didnt change the light novel version, keeping 95% what he had written for the web novel. In 2009, he submitted a story that would go on and wind the grand prize of Dengeki publisher contest, that novel is now known as Accel World. Because many people warmly received the series, Reki wrote 3 more arcs, Fairy Dance, Phantom Bullet and Project Alicization. In Reki's mind at the time, it was a passion project as he never. He wrote the first arc - Aincrad arc - intended to submit it in a contest, but due to page limit, he decided to scrapped the idea and posted it on his website instead. Sword Art Online (SAO) is based off a web novel series written by author Reki Kawahara in 2001. As this is a immensely popular and controversial series, I will provide some insight on the history of the series instead of normal reviewing.
