History[]

Main article: Web Novel#History

The story of Sword Art Online was written in the fall of 2001 and finished in the spring of 2002 as a competition entry for ASCII Media Works' Ninth Dengeki Game Novel Prize (now Dengeki Novel Prize), but the author refrained from submitting it as he had exceeded the page limit and did not want to shrink the size of the story. The unsubmitted work was instead published as a web novel under the author’s previous pseudonym, Kunori Fumio.^[1] The author continued writing new arcs and stories for his series until he finished writing the 4th main arc, Alicization, in 2008. After Kawahara Reki’s second series, Accel World, was successfully entered in the Fifteenth Dengeki Novel Prize and won the grand prize, Kawahara Reki was requested to get his previous series, Sword Art Online, published by ASCII Media Works as well.
