Description
«Asuka Empire». A long-living Japanese-style VRMMO game that started service in the midst of the SAO Incident. This game, where Yuuki, Ran and the others formed the «Sleeping Knights» guild, also had a hidden story―― The Battle Miko Nayuta and the ninja Koyomi. The two girls who met in «Asuka Empire» by chance and became friends encountered a strange Priest in-game. The elderly priest wished to request help from a «detective» to «solve» a certain quest. And he planned to pay 1,000,000 yen for the job. The two girls were shocked by the exorbitant payment, but the «detective» who accepted the strange request was an equally strange young man. All of his stat points were invested into «luck»―― meaning that he was a tricky player who was absolutely weak in battle, but had an extremely high rare item drop rate…… The solution of the mystery in a cutting-edge VRMMO world by the «shady detective» , along with the two girls, now begins.

My Thoughts on Sword Art Online Alternative – Clover’s Regret
First Impressions
Alright, let's dive into Sword Art Online Alternative – Clover’s Regret. As a fan of the SAO universe, I was intrigued by this spin-off, especially with its focus on a new set of characters and a seemingly fresh storyline within the familiar VRMMORPG world. The premise is interesting enough to pull you in, promising a blend of action, mystery, and character-driven drama. I was hoping for a solid adventure, and in some ways, it delivered.
What Works Well
The core concept of a mystery unfolding within a virtual reality setting is definitely where this story shines. The author does a decent job of building suspense and creating a sense of intrigue around the central plot. The action sequences, when they hit, are engaging and well-paced, keeping me invested in the characters' struggles for survival. The virtual world setting is well-developed, and it has the usual SAO charm.
Areas of Concern
However, I have to address a significant issue that seriously hampered my enjoyment of the story: The frequent character mix-ups. It's incredibly frustrating when the dialogue and actions become muddled between the two main female characters. It disrupts the flow of the narrative and makes it difficult to fully connect with their individual journeys. It's a shame because the potential for a compelling narrative is definitely there, but these errors keep pulling me out of the immersive experience. I found myself constantly having to pause and try to figure out which character was actually speaking or acting, which became quite tedious.
Final Verdict
Sword Art Online Alternative – Clover’s Regret has potential, but it's currently weighed down by some significant flaws. The core mystery and action are appealing, but the character confusion is a major problem. If the author can address these issues in future installments, this series could become a much more enjoyable read. As it stands, I'd recommend approaching this one with caution.
