Get More Familiar With 'Sword Art Online' As Needed

(Extracted from #60 (closed).)

     There may be some aspects of Sword Art Online that I'll need to become more familiar with for this project; here's what I'm fully familiar with so far:

(Note: The main story's and side stories' light novel, manga, and anime iteration continuities each go together.)

Main Story

  • Original storyline continuity:
    • Web novel iteration continuity: I haven't looked into it at all.

    • Light novel iteration continuity: I haven't read it or any of its side stories.

      (Note that enough changed between this and the web novel iteration that it can't really be called an adaptation.)

    • Manga adaptation/iteration continuity: I haven't read it.

    • Anime adaptation/iteration continuity: I've watched:

      • Sword Art Online season 1.
      • Sword Art Online: Extra Edition
      • Sword Art Online Ⅱ (season 2.)
      • Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale
      • Sword Art Online: Alicization, including both parts of War of Underworld.
  • Progressive continuity:
    • Light novel iteration continuity: I've read:
      • From volume 1:
        • 'Aria of a Starless Night'
        • 'Intermission — The Reason for the Whiskers' (As the relevant part of this chapter's title suggests, this is an interlude.)
    • Manga adaptation/iteration continuity: I haven't read it.
    • Movie adaptation/iteration continuity:
      • Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Aria of a Starless Night: Ive watched it.

Side Content

     Presumed to fit with either the original or Progressive continuities unless or until determined otherwise.

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online

  • Light novel iteration continuity: I haven't read it.
  • Manga adaptation/iteration continuity: I haven't read it.
  • Anime adaptation/iteration continuity: I've watched what's currently its only season.

Other

  • Sword Art Online Alternative: Clover's Regret (Light novel iteration continuity only:) I haven't read it.
  • Sword Art Online — Girls Ops (Manga iteration continuity only:) I haven't read it.

Video Game Iteration Continuity

     I haven't played any of them, but this consists of:

Console/PC Games

     These all appear to constitute a single continuity.

  • Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment
  • Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment
  • Sword Art Online: Lost Song
  • Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization
  • Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet
  • Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris

Mobile Games, Ignoring Region-Exclusive Titles

     It isn't clear if they are, but these may well not share continuities with either the console/PC games listed just above or each other.

  • Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag
  • Sword Art Online: Integral Factor (Also has a tie-in prologue comic.)
  • Sword Art Online: Alicization Blading, localized into English as Sword Art Online: Alicization Rising Steel.
