Aside from continuing his current storyline, the author is also rewriting the original story under the name SAO Progressive in order to flesh it out as well as make modifications.

I am watching the first season of sword art online (very slowly), i am on episode 16, and it feels like the shows story just took a massive nose dive. Is this going to get better?

The second story arc is generally regarded as by far the worst. It was written when Kawahara wasn't really sure if the property would succeed, so it was styled in a generic LN continuation manner. After SAO's success, he basically did whatever he wanted and, while there's certainly issues, it's much better for that.

You'd think the SAO survivors would be rushing to print their tell-all exposes of what went down in Aincrad before anyone else could. The gamers would obviously lap that poo poo up, but I figure pretty much everyone would be interested in what happened during the largest kidnapping/murder spree ever.

...No they wouldn't. Most of them likely want to put it as far behind them and forget it as much as possible. For a real world example, exactly how many hostages of the Iranian hostage crisis were rushing to discuss their story with the press as soon as they were released? Hell, more than a few of the survivors likely have PTSD - for any number of reasons.

There's both an American and Japanese server. The company itself is based in the US, probably due to wanting to dodge some law or another. Some foreign nationalities play on the Japanese one, but for the most part it's players from Japan.

Let's just leave it at no, you're misremembering, Thunk.


Removing spoiler due to comment above and because it's the top of the page.

Doesn't his family have that fancy house though?

Judging by the size of their house and where they live, yes the Kirigayas are likely upper middle class or higher. Doesn't matter though because they're not an important family, whether in the realm of wealth, political power, or anything else. At the level Asuna's family are at, for what's being suggested it's not just about wealth any more, it's about "power" and "prestige" of one variety or another. Espcially as they've taken a pretty big hit in their own status due to the whole SAO fiasco.
