Original English Light Novel? I think we call those... novels.

The progressive novels touch more on all of that and expand on things - the first novel is just trying to tell the entire SAO story in one volume, so naturally things get squashed.

jwang posted:Goddammit Japan. Why don't you focus those deviant thoughts into something more productive, like producing the next generation. Instead we get crazy poo poo like this and tentacle porn. Goddammit. As terrible as Mahouka might have been, it was mostly on execution of plot rather than premise. This fails to even cross the "maybe I'll read more than the summary" hurdle. It probably would get a glance just to see what kind of depravity it sinks to, but that can be done by reading a synopsis by someone more depraved or curious.

jwang posted:...Why, why do people with functioning brains do this? I think the translating community as a whole needs to step away from the male protagonist stories and cleanse themselves with female protagonist ones. The only objectionable things I can find for those is that the Chinese female protagonist stories have too many about female femme fatales being reborn. I think it's because it's guys writing strong female characters, and Chinese guys for the most part don't understand what a strong female is.
