An excellent continuation of the already great 2nd volume.
It felt like the second volume heavily focused on building up the characters and the crisis approaching THE WORLD. In this third volume, our heroes Kite and Black Rose no longer fight alone - in fact, the central theme of this volume is finding allies and building up a group to tackle the "Waves". I particularly enjoyed the piece-by-piece discovery of the "Epitaph of Twilight", which is still shrouded in mystery at the end of the volume. Still, at least it felt like the volume gave us a better grasp of what it is, how it is tied to the main conflict and how Harold Huick, Emma Wieland and the "Epitaph of Twilight" are connected to the main plot.

Copy-pasted note from my "reviews" of the first two books:
I'll be posting my full review for this entire quartet on the final book, but I will say that this first installment has its flaws. Dedicated game fans will notice that a few bits of dialogue exchanged here are incorrect. However, unlike the previous two installments in this quartet of light novels, the writing and format has improved drastically with "Outbreak." (Hey, I said it was going to get better, didn't I?)

SWBST+THEME
Akira is a normal high school girl unless she is playing the virtual game the world. She wants to find out what happened to her brother but she has to put her life on the line to get some answers. So she teams up with Kite and the others to find some answers. Then book 4 came out.
The theme of the book is "Good vs Evil" because the main character is constantly fighting against something that is trying to take over The World.

I stopped reading this series a while ago and then forgot who all the characters were, but by the end of this one I was back in the story, and I'm looking forward to the last book in the series. Really, it just makes me want to play video games...

I really enjoyed the video game series, and although I'm a bit disappointed that this book is retelling the events of the video game, I think it was nice to have a different perspective and a little more explanation on the situation.

There's a lot more romance in this book, more like a love triangle. They're also getting really into the book, it gets really exciting!
