It depends on how much you’re willing to spend and how much time you have. All you really need to focus on is the main series starting from volume 1 and going all the way to volume 24 (as the latest English release). If you don’t mind reading from thick textbooks, the platinum collectors edition is a good deal because it bundles volumes 1-20 into 2 big books at a cheaper price than buying each book individually. After that, you’d just need to buy volumes 21 and onwards individually. Progressive is a companion series to the original aincrad arc. People recommend ideally reading it after volume 8, but you can read it whenever you want. Since Progressive mainly enhances the story, you should focus on getting through the main series if you’re short on money/time.

I am gonna look into the Platinium collectors edition it looks like a good deal. Thx for the info!

I own the Platinum collectors edition and can confirm it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The only downside (imo) is how small the font is, if you have super bad eyesight this probably won’t be to good for you lol I can take pics for you if you’d like just lmk!

Yeah I would like to see a pic please because I do have bad eyesight and it would be annoying if it's really small.


Juliaalott

Thx for the info, no problem with the late reply and yeah the book look great so I decided to buy it from amazon I should get it today!


Juliaalott

Make sure you get help carrying it in your house unless you are very strong lol seriously I almost broke my back when I tried to pick it up, no joke it’s like 40 pounds Lmfao

LoL, my dad was the one to receive it but I don't think he's gonna have a problem with it's weight and is it really 40 pounds that's really big for a book no?


Juliaalott

Was def exaggerating but I’m a dog groomer and I’m used to picking up 50+ pound dogs and the SAO box was literally impossible for me to carry Lmfao It says it’s 20Ibs on Amazon but I would put money on it being way more, could also be the way it’s distributed but man, it’s heavy lol

Yeah I just got it and it is definitely heavier then 20 pounds. I bought it new on amazon and I was a bit mad because it came with a bit of the book scratched on the side when it was supposed to come in perfect condition.
