Do you happen to know what is the source material that Fujino is using for the story ? I know that it is mentioned at the start the game that the story is based on a source material, however I do not remeber if it said that was a light novel or a doujinshi. And the name of it was not mentioned.
Volume 1-20 is first written on web novel and then written on LN. The author started writing LN from volume 21.
The SAO anime is based on the LN

I am aware that it is Sword Art Online. Is just at the start of game the chicken says that the story is based on a source material, doujinshi if i am not wrong. I was just courios which is it. I am under the impression that Fujino is using some fan made NSFW source material to shape the main story or parts of it. I might be wrong though.
His inspiration in the beginning was a Chinese fanfiction called 刀剑情域 (author - 九幽)

My bad lol, I wasn't aware that the game was inspired by something other than SAO

Nice to hear from Fujino-sensei again, hopefully he's fully recovered already, and good that he already planned the second week's story in full at least :)!

2 new CG that good i hope it are asuna
They're unlikely to be unless they're in-game, if it's in the following days after Sunday. At least the first statement of the progress DOES seem to indicate he finished the CG events of Sunday in the recollection room, though, which would mean he put the massage scene in there.

you forgot to read the "insipration" word
Then I disagree. There are many fan-made stories where Asuna is involved with other male characters besides Kirito. If the inspiration really came from a specific work, there should be at least some basic similarities. From the character of Inoda, the core story, and the plot development, I don't see any similarity between these two works. The only thing similar is that Asuna has a sexual relationship with someone else. For me personally, this is not an inspiration. Fujino also never mentioned this so-called source of inspiration.

Besides, I personally put a lot of effort into finding this novel. It is not a popular work. I highly doubt that Fujino has even read it.

Of course, I'm not against Fujino drawing inspiration from other great works. In fact, he often does. It's always a pleasure for me to see exciting moments from other works recreated in Fujino's work.

But for this 刀剑情域 (author - 九幽) , no, unfortunately, I don't think it's part of Fujino's inspiration.

Hi, iam doing part 1 and they keep talking about a game they played before SOA.. is there a prequel to this game ?
The game is a parody of Sword Art Online (SAO) anime/Light Novel. The game they are talking about is from the anime/light novel when they were trapped in a game called Sword Art Online where if they die in the game they die in real life. After they escape is when this game is set.
