So out of curiosity and boredom, we made a character interaction chart over at /a/.

In the SAO LN wiki page, there is a timeline page showing potentially major spoilers. Is there any way we can add this chart to the AW page in a similar fashion warning about the spoilers?

Major spoilers in the chart. You've been warned. :wink:
It appears the forum cuts off the edge of it. Direct link.

Hmm, that is a lot of work and spoilers. At this point in the translation, I don't really think we need something with this much detail and spoilers. If we are up to like volume 9 then this might help people who got confused by the new characters. If a lot of people want it on the BT, then I can put it there. Just want to say it's the wrong time now, for me.

Apparently, Black Vise is written as Black Vice in the battle screen of Accel World game. I wonder which one is correct now.

I noticed that they spelled Sky Raker as Sky Laker in the game countdown video too. But we will probably keep using the Japanese wiki English names for duel avatars. If the anime also use the game name, then we might change it.

Just a note in case it goes unnoticed.

The full text version of Volume 3 is done! Hopefully someone can get a .PDF version out soon.

Edit: Thank you very much Arczyx for uploading a .PDF version of it! I'm very appreciative! Now to finish packing so I can enjoy reading it.

Great series so far, holding my breath for the rest.

Is there any particular reason book 6, chapter's 2-3 are translated?

We take any help from drive by translators too, and they are random.

Edit: Forgot to ask. How many of you think that the volume 1 title should be:
1) Princess Snow Black - similar to Snow White
2) Black Snow Princess - word to word translation
3) Kuroyukihime - no translation

The titles appear to be paraphrased descriptions, so leaving the V1 title as 1) should be fine.

On the other hand, using "robber" for Volume 3 is a bit lackluster.

Taker is his exact name so I want to avoid using that, so what would you suggest for a "take by force" kind of word? I had it as Raider before, but felt that doesn't fit too well since raiders come fast, take stuff, then leave.

If a lot of people really want it as Taker, then I might have to change Dusk to Twilight or something.

Well, "take" doesn't sound very forceful either.

How about:
Plunderer, Pillager, Marauder, Dispossessor?

with those alternatives, I actually like Robber more.
just a humble opinion of a reader. maybe many people like the alternatives more.
dunno, sometimes I just like simple things. Robber seems simple but still get the point right
