Mhm. Is it not a manga? I thought it was based on the description from goodreads.

Awesome. I've read the SAO LN, too, though right now I'm reading A Certain Magical Index and I'm about to re-read Spice and Wolf.
Does anyone ever feel like they never have enough time? Sometimes, I wished I didn't have to sleep just so I could have more time to do all the things I want to do.
