Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online Vol 1 Light Novel

Karen Kohiruimaki always felt out of place in the real world. Due to her extreme height, she found it hard to make friends with other girls her age. Everything changes when she's introduced to VR and Gun Gale Online. In GGO, Karen is free to play the cute, chibi avatar of her dreams! Can Karen find friendship in this bullet-ridden MMO...?

A Brand-New Battlefield Awaits!The second Squad Jam plays out with Pitohui's actual, real-world death on the line. The only way to prevent the most horrific outcome is for Llenn to kill Pitohui herself...Determined to engage in the battle, she teams up with her friend and recent ALfheim Online convert from back home, Miyu, hoping to take down all who stand in their way. As they race to reach Pitohui, Pitohui is madly obliterating enemy teams, almost as though she is enjoying the death game...Can Llenn save Pitohui before it's too late?

Karen is living her best life, getting to play as her cute chibi avatar Llenn in the VR game Gun Gale Online. She becomes fast friends with mysterious woman Pitohui, who invites her to an in-game event called the Squad Jam. But Karen won't be teamed up with her new friend-instead she gets paired with the stern and silent M. Not 10 minutes into the event, they get surrounded by a hail of gunfire! Will they be able to hold their own as a two-man team against squads with actual military training...? Hey, wasn't this supposed to be just a game?!

A BRAND-NEW BATTLEFIELD AWAITS! ​Just a week after the ferocious Squad Jam 4, Llenn and LPFM face a devastating new challenge—with SHINC at their side! In a drastic departure from GGO’s usual player versus player tournaments, the latest event, The Five Ordeals, is all about fending off deadly computer-controlled enemies. That doesn’t mean the competition is any less fierce, though; the squad that clears the quest the fastest will come away with loot up to their eyeballs. But when the LPFM-SHINC alliance takes to the battleground, the first thing they encounter is…a talking dog?!

A brand-new battlefield awaits! One month after the third Squad Jam, Karen Kohiruimaki is starting to consider her options outside of GGO...but fate won't let that happen! Out of the blue, past prizewinning SJ teams receive invitations to playtest a GGO game mode with an all-new objective: capture a base defended by hyperadvanced AI NPCs. As Llenn reluctantly agrees to participate in the hopes of fulfilling her promise of a rematch with SHINC, she can't help but wonder: Just how challenging can these AI NPCs possibly be?

Though the official announcement of the second Squad Jam has come out, Karen Kohiruimaki barely shows any interest at all, despite being the champion of the first ferocious battle royale. Or at least, that was true right up to the moment she receives a cryptic message from a creepy stalker who informs her that on the night of the next Squad Jam, someone will die. Now, LLENN needs to take up arms and cut through her inexplicable anguish to prevent her worst fears from coming true!

A brand-new battlefield awaits! Old frenemies become staunch allies as the strongest team in the history of Gun Gale is born! This time, LPFM, named for Llenn, Pitohui, Fukaziroh, and M, will enter the third Squad Jam and overcome fierce competition as they aim for ultimate victory! But with a map that's slowly sinking into the sea, an "unknown" area at its center, and a "special rule" that won't come into effect until the competition nears its end, this Squad Jam is proving to be one big mystery after another...

A BRAND-NEW BATTLEFIELD AWAITS! The fourth Squad Jam heats up, with the marriage between Karen and businessman Fire Nishiyamada hanging in the balance! Despite this, Llenn cares only about settling her long rivalry with team SHINC. She’s unprepared, though, for a shocking revelation about her battle against them—SHINC has allied themselves with a bunch of cowards!
