Plz add Asuna in soon its driving me crazythat we've only heard from her ONCE.

This chapter was great! I'm so happy to see Lisbeth! She's so cool! And Kirito got a new sword! I just hope they'll make it to Stone Tower alright. Things could go very bad if they encounter Ulf again. Can't wait to see what happens! Keep up the great work!

I really enjoyed this chapter! I think it might be my favorite one so far! I'm glad Kirito and Klein are working together for now! Maybe he'll end up doing more quests with Kirito and his guild! But, I feel bad for him. His friend just died and he couldn't do anything to help him. Such is life in SAO, though. I'm a bit concerned for Kirito and his friends now that war has been declared on them. And now they're stuck there. But, I think they'll make it out alive. Hopefully. I'll definitely be anxiously waiting for the next chapter! Keep up the great work!

I really like this

You introduced Klein! Whoo! I can't wait to see what other cannon characters you introduce! It'll be cool to see what happens if Klein's guild ends up staying with Mell's guild. Things would get pretty interesting. I can't wait to see what happens! Keep up the great work!

...Not EVERYONE has to die... :{
Besides, isn't the whole point of a restart to hopefully end up with a better result than the first time?
(This isn't "Stee1 & Sw0rds" by the author Crysina, which is directly tagged as a "Tragedy" and more than delivers on this.)
If not, then I suppose you could have multiple restarts, but given the slow pace with Floor, Year, and Day emphasis, I doubt you are planning on going this route...

Also, as one word of advice, people may be more familiar/comfortable with canon characters than OCs. In other words, more tears may be shed for a canon death than an OC one. In fact, lesser-developed canon characters can serve as de-facto OCs. Just some things to keep in mind.

I'm really enjoying this! It looks Kirito is still able to use his sword skills, so that's going to be really helpful. I'm just a bit worried that things are going to turn out pretty similar to what happens with the Moonlit Black Cats. I hope not, because this guild is really cool! Kirito will be so sad if they die! They're the only friends he has, or can at least remember, for the time being. I hope they'll all be alright! But, I'll wait and see how things play out. This next chapter should be interesting! Keep up the great work!

Interesting flashbacks... Interesting...
Lots of OCs or de-facto OCs for now, but perhaps we'll be seeing more of canon characters and perhaps even loving reunitings in the not-to-distant future... Keep writing!

That was great! This guild Kirito joined seems pretty cool. It'll be nice to see him interact with more people. He was kind of a loner in the beginning of season 1, so it's good that he at least has people he can turn to since Asuna isn't with him. I can't wait to see when/if you introduce other characters from the series, like Lizbeth, Silica, and Klein! I can't wait to see what happens! Keep up the great work!

Love the plot, very suspenseful and original :) can't wait to read more!

Only watched season one of this anime, but I'm still gonna read this. Wonder how this story will come along.

Oh man, I can tell that this story probably ain't gonna be pretty for many parts. One can hope that certain events might change for the better (perhaps a sense of "deja vu" might allow certain events like the Moonlit Black Cats to be avoided or at least less lethal while Yui might attempt to contact Kirito and Asuna earlier to act as a source of both hope and worry), but I can't be too sure quite yet...
Whatever you do, good luck.

This was great! I really like the concept of the story. I would really like to see this continued. It would be lots of fun to see how you write this! Keep up the great work!

I like the story so far and I'm excited to read what will happen next.
