Still a bit confused by how they brought her back to "life"? I enjoyed the series overall but the ending left me wanting something different.. Maybe a shorter timeskip, Mikami looks like an old man and Kyouka still looks like she's a grade schooler.
If I recall correctly he wanted to study how the game worked so he could make an better game but hell he might of gone the ALO arc way
Take the base code of SAO. Change a few things and call it a new game :3
Well it wasn't very popular... It didn't even get a mention on the cover of the final issue. But if it get's an anime more not lives the better
Well, it was a pleasure to follow this manga so many years. Thanks to the mangaka and Waterflame Scanlations for everything.
Quite cocky of him to claim he "created" the game, when all he did was remove permadeath from it...
That aside, it's nice to see the author didn't completely forget about the childhood friend.
maybe he hasn't had the experience of using server remote control, could've been better, but i still see this being animated in the next 10 years
At the very least the author didn't forget Mikami's initial goal of joining Not Alive, to study it so it can help himself create the ultimate game. Nice to see his dream get fulfilled at least.
Hoping for the author next work!

Not impressed
Thanks for scanslating this manga to its end, Waterflame Scanlations.
When a program runs multiple threads in parallel, it opens possibilities for a whole new class of bugs. A common subclass of them are "data races", when several threads access a single location without a proper order.
So, each time the miscrafted code is run, there is a certain chance it will behave wrong. For some instances, this chance is 1:2. For others, it may be as small as 1:1000000.
Naturally, the more times you run this code, the greater is the chance that at least one of them will break your program.
And there was a certain thing Maze did way more times than a normal player, and in a way that was probably not even properly tested.
tl;dr the fact the game didn't break when Maze used her trick before doesn't mean Discord Motion did not break it the last time.
man talk about an anti-climactic final boss fight, looks like this series got the axe. If she lives I hope they bring back maze through an asspull, she got the shaft.
Will he create his own true ending? Oh man
ehh, why? if they are only 2 chapters left
Ok, guess I will unfollow this. It was a good read up until now, oh well!
What the fuck just happened
Sucks, but I guess he has his reasons.
Author just announced on his Twitter that Not Lives ends in the next issue with Chapter 53 after nearly 5 years in serialization.

It actually feels more like an RPG version of WIXOSS. I know this came before WIXOSS and therefore I gotta wonder if Okada Mari got a lot of her ideas from this FOR WIXOSS...
There's one thing that's painfully obvious to me, and if this manga is still as predictable with its habit of spoiling its own twists several chapters in advance (literal clock-hand, fire=smoke, etc...)
There's one logical step that is functionally the same thing as wishing for more wishes but actually works when you get to 'modify' some part of the fundamental structure of reality: protagonist uses that wish to create an exploitable bug that allows him some (not necessarily infinitely powerful) ability to modify things again.
Give a programmer a wish and they'll root the universe.
Kay, so what about his wish?
Then where did his
Not a bad twist, I certainly didn't see it coming
