He completed it in 2002, but due to Dengeki Bunko's page number limitations he was turned down and gave up on the award, unwilling and not skilled enough to cut the script. He had only read other works before writing Sword Art Online (SAO), so this was his first book. In 2001, Reki applied for the 9th Dengeki Game Novel Grand Prix (currently known as Dengeki Novel Award). Tried to draw manga, but felt it too tedious a process to get his ideas down on paper, and enjoyed coming up with stories more than the accompanying work, so he started writing novels. ![]() He also played Ragnarok Online, and Reki mentioned at different times the game he played the most was either that or World of Warcraft. In 1998, he started playing Ultima Online which would be the first of many online games in his future. Participated in the Manga Studies Club in college, where he drew manga and illustrations, and played fighting games with the club members at the arcade often. His official website states: "WordGear: an experimental world generated by fumio kunori, since 2002". Kawahara Reki (川原礫) (male), also known as Kunori Fumio (九里 史生), is a Japanese novelist who was born in August 17, 1974, and is the primary author and supervisor of the Sword Art Online franchise and more. ![]()
