Accel World, Vol. 1 (light novel): Kuroyukihime's Return by Reki Kawahara
4.0
So, i think the fact that i read this entire light novel in the same day is a good sign.
Stories' about a fat kid who becomes part of this online group that uses their brain abilities to effectively slow down time and fight in avatars in the not too distant future where everyone has Augmented reality and full dives.
Without giving too much away i'll just say the main female in the story takes him under her wing and shows him how to fight in the VR world.
I literally just picked this up because it was a light novel at a half price books, but i ended up enjoying it more than i thought i would. at this point i'm just looking for stories that aren't filled with Gary Stu's and are at least a little bit different and nicely enough, this one does have some different ideas.
The main character has no self esteem whatsoever and is pathetic in his self deprecation, but people still care about him which is cool. and it's not like he's a super attractive dude who hates himself for no reason, he's actually a fat kid who gets bullied so it actually makes sense he doesn't like himself.
The female side lead is all right. she's not perfect even though she appears that way on the outside, and having a flawed romantic interest is neat. I like the fact that they changed a few things so it wasn't like every anime ever.
It deals with his insecurities about himself while actually portraying himself as a likeable if not sad guy which i can appreciate.
All in all, i'm actually looking forward to volume 2 as i already ordered it online having finished this.
let's see where this goes. 3.5 out of 5 rounded up to a 4.
