Main reason why I use "Armor of Catastrophe" instead of "Disaster Armor" 'cause "Chrome Disaster Disaster Armor" or "Disaster Armor Chrome Disaster" sounds :roll:

Volume 1 Chapter 9 wrote:“Even though you’re the «Silver Crow» whose name is already familiar now in Accel World, you’re still always like that, Haruyuki-kun.”
this sentence sounds a bit strange... maybe famous is a better way to put it? (or maybe my english isn't that good)
sorry to bother you guys

Huh? That's strange, I could have sworn I originally typed famous there...Must have absentmindedly mixed up the words. Anyway, thanks for bringing that to my attention, it's fixed now.

I don't know if anyone's doing it already, but we need to go over the already translated sections that mention the
Spoiler! :
White King as 'he' and change it to 'she'. White Cosmos is a girl after all.

The previous post contains heavy spoiler.

@Kai,

please put a spoiler tag on elements that are not yet known by those who don't like to spoil themselves. :(

Edit:
@Translation suggestion: (spoiler)
Spoiler! :
No, I think we shouldn't use any pronouns at all till we reach volume 12. Unless 彼 is used we should just refer to it as "The White King".

It is really hard to just use the avatar name all the time, so I just use "he" for anyone with unknown gender after a while. For example, I used he for Ash Roller, which is mostly correct anyway. If the White King is mentioned too much without gender being shown, I will probably use he for that too, till the gender is told by the author.

As for the spoiler, pretty much only choice left anyway, if you gather all the hints from KYH.

When I was translating my chapter, I decided to translate "四神" as "Four Sacred Beasts" instead of the literal "Four Gods". I thought that would be more appropriate as the four Super Enemies can't really be classified as gods. Just a matter of personal opinion, but still not sure if it's the right decision. Object or support? Everyone, please give me your thoughts on this one.

Up to you. Although, from a logical standpoint, there is nothing wrong with four sacred beasts, especially if it refers to suzaku, seiryu, genbu and byakko(god I hope I didn't get any wrong). So, somewhat support?

In my opinion, 'divine' is more appropriate than 'sacred' because it's closer to the original meaning.

Spoiler! :
Can anyone confirm me that in novel vol 4 , the article Haruyuki read only have Nerve Gear. When I watch anime, it sudden occupied to me, Kawahara said AC is an alter future of SAO. If this world didn't have Amu Sphere, maybe SAO incident this not happened. Then Asuna and Kirito did not meet each other and remain the way they are.
Teh_ping: For plot related stuff, let's just keep it in spoiler, okay?

Who knows... it'll be disrespectful to answer that since Eternal Dreamer is translating the volume.

However, let me say this:
SAO was written with hobby in mind while AW was written with professionalism in mind. That's the reason why SAO has 0.5 parts while AW do not. I used to think of their correlation in the same manner but as time goes by, nah.
And, can't everyone think that AW and SAO are just like Gundam? Although mobile suits are used all throughout the series, Cosmic era and Universal Century was never connected. But then again, who knows? Someone might change his mind.
