That last was kind of stupid, sorry. Your telling me that Kirito didn't notice the cracks on his sword and compensated accordingly. And then there's the fact that kirito has been soloing bosses so yuki should not even be able to keep up with the amount of xp he's been getting. Which means he should have more powerful weapons than her that would have higher durability and be able to break other weapons quicker. And if all those people actually care for him wouldn't they notice that he doesn't like talking to people. Kirito could have just fought yuki without making that deal anyway. And another thing, couldn't he just leave after joining. The deal never said he had to stay in the party. I'm just saying, nothing is keeping him there. Anyway, try and keep up the good writing! Wasn't trying to flame if it came out that way. I'm just not understanding.

Took you long enough! Anyways, the chapter was fairly well written; just a few grammatical errors. My big question is why Kirito so...mean. I know Kirito prefers isolation, but he seems too determined, stubborn and harsh. Why does he want to be alone so badly that he can't tolerate people at all? Isolation does severely damage the psych, after all.

Rain? As in Rain from SAO: Lost Song? Sweet. I wish she'd dye her hair red

Another girl? Based off Canon, only a few females ever actually played the game, much less be clearers.

Oh well, I wonder who this is. Asuna maybe for weapon upgrade materials? Still hoping for rain x kirito though.

This is actually a really interesting concept. So only six players are in SAO now? And is Kirito the only guy? Does this indicate Kirito harem?

KIRITO HAREM YES.

So, I have to admit that I'm a little unhappy with where you're taking this story. In the first chapter, I'd hoped that the remaining players would be Kirito, Lizbeth, Asuna, Klein, Agil and Silica, because I'd love to see that group get to spend more time together on adventures. Instead, it seems that you're focusing mainly on this OC, and it's just not really what I wanted to see. That's just my opinion though.

I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter, and can't wait for the next one :D

Well, shit. I didn't expect this twist. I'm laughing out loud here.

Illfang the Scrublord

so...6 person for an MMO...WTF...also who IS trap in the game?

Nice!

This sounds badass

Dude, this AU is amazing. Are you planning on including Argo the Rat? I liked her story from SAO Progressive a lot, and I wonder how it would change with so few people to have info on. Thanks for the amazing story!

I freaking love this! It would give SAO much more camaraderie... a feel the author never pulled off. I'm looking forward to seeing how SAO would progress when set up like this.

A very interesting start, I must say...
Are the 5 others going to be characters from the canon, or OC's?
