I'm honestly surprised I'm the first to review this. While it's been a while since I read this, I highly recommend it if you enjoyed the PS2 games that came out back in the day for .hack//. I loved the extra canon that it gave to the series, even if there may be a few discrepancies. I don't want to give any spoilers, as it could also reveal too much about the game, but I really enjoyed it, and I hope you do too. PS Keep in mind as it's a light novel some of the translation may seem slightly weird, these got published an ageago.

Synopsis

While the original four .hack video games followed the tales and travels of Kite, these books tell the story all over again, from the view of Akira Hayami, also known as BlackRose in The World. When her younger brother, Fumikazu, falls into a coma while playing The World, Akira decides to figure out why it happened, and launches herself into the most exciting, and dangerous, journey she will ever have to encounter. Where she meets the twin blade Kite whose friend Orca has fallen into a coma too. Together they venture to find out The World's innermost secrets meeting new friends along the way who aid them in their journey. (Source: Wikipedia)
