After the progress update was posted last time, I received a lot of encouragement from friends in the comments and private messages. Thank you all for your support!

Many players have pointed out that recently it seems like I've been pushing the progress too fast. I realized that I was feeling a little negative about the game due to some less-than-ideal feedback, so I wanted to give this project an end sooner. This kind of fatigue is a mental issue that tends to affect every long-term updating creator periodically. This is not good, I deeply reflect on this.

So, for the next version, I plan to add some additional events of Asuna's POV based on the original plan.

However, many of the previous works have involved "major events" material, and now it's already the middle to late April. According to the original plan, it might be challenging to finish an "additional Asuna event" + "major event" version update by the end of May.

Therefore, after careful evaluation, I've decided: to release an early version with mainly the additional Asuna event in mid-May, and the "major event" version update by the end of June.

In addition, this weekend, I made some minor improvements to the previous cave event and added a "limited event" mode. Although no new CGs were added, I included additional dialogues from Asuna's perspective. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Lastly, here are some responses to questions:

Q: Is Asuna currently in an internship state, and will there be no scenes of her returning to school in the future?
A: There will be school-related contents in the future.

Q: Will Sword Art Online: Magic Trap be completed this year?
A: If all goes well and there is not plan for additional contents, it will be completed by the end of this year or early next year.

Q: How many days are you planning this time? After all, two months is quite a long time, hoping for more content.
A: This involves spoilers, so I can’t talk too much about it. But I think it's not reasonable to calculate the game content on a daily basis. As seen in previous updates, the amount of plot for each day is not the same. The reason for switching to two-month updates this time, as mentioned earlier, is that there are some important plots which need to be completed consecutively for the desired effect.

Q: Can we expect group scenes involving Asuna or other characters?
A: Asuna can be with other female characters, but the male character can only be Inoda.
I tried a dream scenario with a group of thugs and Asuna, the feedback wasn't great.
I'm a bit hesitant about other characters. Many people have expressed interest in group scenes, so I tried that in Alice’s event, but many people don’t like that either.

Q: Will Inoda interact with characters from the Underground World, like the Six Beasts or Sugo?
A: Yes, he will.

Q: Surprised at event of Inoda's urethra development last time, will there be further developments in that direction?
A: Probably not.

Q: Daily outfits changing with the stages of corruption is a major feature of NTR games. Will the main characters' regular outfits or game equipment undergo further changes?
A: Of course.

Q: Will Asuna dye her hair or get a new hairstyle?
A: There will be new hairstyles. I don’t think she will dye her hair, but maybe possible in FOG.

Q: Are you considering introducing a diary system for Asuna?
A: umm..It might not appear in the way you're thinking.

Q: Originally, this game had a semi-open exploration style with multiple endings, but now it seems to be linear?
A: Originally, the plan was to have free exploration. Unfortunately, due to limited energy and time, it's currently a linear process, but some key choices will lead to different endings.

Q: As we saw Inoda could create a clone in the tent event, why not create more clones to engage with her?
A: Interesting, I considered about that before.

Q: Will Inoda NTR Kirito’s sister too?
A: No.

Q: So, later in the story, will Inoda have sex with all the female characters?
A: Unlikely with all.

Q: Can Asuna's body become sexier after having sex with Inoda?
A: I will consider it. But I won’t make it exaggerated.

Q: After the main storyline is completed, will you consider releasing DLC or patches for different endings?
A: No plans for this at present.

Q: If the work is completed early, will it be released early?
A: Yes, actually I release the update every time after testing.

Q：Are we in the last 4 updates ? or are you gonna do a 0.90 / 0.91 / 0.92
each month when we are near the end of the game ?
A：The original plan was indeed to complete the game in four versions.
However, now I have some new ideas that may add more Asuna events in the final stage.
As for the version issues, it’s just a number, I don't think exceeding 1.0.0 is a bad idea.

目前的進步報告：
文本進度：30%
事件進度：20%
CG進度：15%
地圖進度：80%

上次動態發布以後，收到了很多朋友的鼓勵。很感謝大家的支持！

也有很多玩家指出最近似乎是為了完結而導致進度過快。冷靜考慮了之後，
發現之前確實因為好幾次反饋不理想，所以心態有點消極，想要早點結束這個項目。

看了大家的建議後，我決定去豐富一些大家想看的內容。
所以下個版本將在原定計劃的基礎上，額外再增加一些亞絲娜視角的事件。

但是由於臨時增改內容的原因，需要一些額外的時間，
按照原定計劃，可能比較難以在五月底完成一個超長版本。

所以經過慎重地評估，我決定：
五月中旬提前更新一個版本，內容主要是額外增加的亞絲娜事件。
六月底更新原來預定的版本內容。

另外，這個周末把之前洞窟事件稍微完善了一下，增加了「僅限事件」模式。
雖然沒有增加新的CG，但額外添加了亞絲娜那邊的台詞。希望大家能夠喜歡。

最後是問題環節。

Q：現在亞絲娜是屬於實習狀態嗎，後續是沒有回學校的戲份了麼？
A：之後還會有校園內容。

Q：SAO今年可以完結嗎？
A：如果沒有加入新內容的預定的話，會在年底或明年年初完結。

Q：這次準備做幾天？畢竟兩個月時間，希望能做多一天也好。
A：這個涉及劇透，我不會直接回答。但我覺得按天來推算遊戲內容是不合理的。
之前的更新也可以看出，每天的劇情量並不相同。之所以這次改為兩個月更新，
前面也說了，是因為有比較重要的劇情，需要連續完成才有效果。

Q：是否可以期待亞絲娜或其他角色的多人戲？
A：亞絲娜不會和其他複數男人亂交，這個之前也解釋過。
雖然有用夢的形式做過，亞絲娜和多人的事件，但是反饋不是很好。
其他角色我有點猶豫。之前不少人都說想看多人PLAY，
於是用愛麗絲嘗試了一下，發布之後反饋又是一邊倒的說不喜歡愛麗絲多P的劇情。
