The SAO Progressive novel is halfway done with Rondo (the 2nd floor story). But the manga has changed quite a lot of things from the original, so even if you read either the manga or novel, you won't be sure what the story was/will be like in the other.

An official translation of the Progressive LN will be released in February.
