Sword Art Online

So what's the difference between the SAO web novel and light novel? Is it even possible to even find the web novel anymore?

As far as I know the WN was taken down when SAO became a LN

The web novel is much much more rough compared to the LN. The end of Alicization is also a mess in the WN with Kirito time accelerated to being a 200 year old Emperor of the Underworld with a gigantic harem.

>So what's the difference between the SAO web novel and light novel?
There are plenty of minor, and plenty of big ones. The SAO wiki notes a number of them, if you want to look at anything specific.
Go to the page of any SAO Light Novel volume: swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Volume_1
Scrolls down to "Adaptation Notes".

Some more noticeable changes:
Klein was originally just some guy Kirito met after Sachi died, but the Light Novel changed it so he was a newbie that Kirito taught on the first day.
Minor things about Kirito's relationship with Sachi
Asuna killed Kuradeel in the WN, but that was changed to Kirito killing him.
Silica's feelings for Kirito were toned down.
Leafa's cowtits were added in the Light Novel due to the editor's suggestion.
In the WN, Kirito didn't know that Suguha wasn't his real sister until Suguha's outburst
Tonkii didn't exist in the Web Novel. That whole mini-arc in Volume 4 was original to the Light Novel. (Kawahara said this was why he asked for it to be omitted from the anime)
Sinon was given glasses in the LN, because abec (the illustrator) likes girls with glasses. (Though, this was worked into her character, seeing how even though she has near super-human vision, her glasses are bullet-proof)
In the Light Novel, Sinon ended the BoB by giving Kirito a grenade and having them both explode. Originally the WN had it so that they had a final duel again, and Sinon won by blocking Kirito's initial sword-strike with her own lightsaber, and then shooting Kirito at point-blank while he was caught up in the repulsion from their swords.

And there are various other changes not mentioned on the wiki. Like I've heard the PB arc was much shorter in the Web version, and even Alicization has a lot tact on that wasn't in the WN.

>Is it even possible to even find the web novel anymore?
There are some archives of it in Japanese floating around. Chinese have also Fan Translated the majority of it, so there's that.

Interesting differences. Thanks user.

Could you elaborate? I'm also curious.

Dunno what he's talking about. I'm pretty sure the Web Novel and Light Novel ending for Alicization is the same (or at least not significantly different) with neither actually ending up with an actual harem.

He might be talking about the alternate harem ending. "There is but one ultimate way" I think it was called.

Can ayone thats played Hollow Realization tell me how to speed up the grind? Fucking hell, 66000+ exp to level up, and even with buffs ill be lucky to get 2000 a kill.
