Reddit reviews The Isolator, Vol. 1 (light novel): The Biter

So, The Isolator started out much like SAO, as a web novel that Reki wrote during the SAO web novel era. It was known as "Absolute Solitude". He began writing it approximately around when he was writing SAO's Alicization arc, probably for a change of pace and just to try something new.

They have nothing to do with SAO or Accel World. I've read some of it, and I think it's pretty dramatic and interesting. It mainly focuses on supernatural elements, and like SAO, is for a slightly more mature audience than Accel World.

I tried translating The Isolator by myself a while ago, but Yen Press shut me down almost immediately. I can only direct you to buy the official translations here on Amazon.

I think Isolator is on Amazon and Book Depository.

Not too uncommon; most series that get an official translation are very popular. But don't be disheartened! You can look into older series.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Toradora, Guin Saga, Kino's Journey, Shakugan no Shana, Slayers(or try here), Gosick, Seikai: Crest of the Stars, Adventures of Duan Surk, Zaregoto, Psycho Busters, Full Metal Panic. Note here. I have not bought from rightstufanime, but they have older out of print stuff.


For newer stuff that I neglected to include, The Irregular at Magic High School, Black Bullet, Strike the Blood, The Isolator, [Trinity Seven](http://www.amazon.com/Trinity-Seven-Vol-Magicians/dp/0316263672/ref=pd_sim_14_19?ie=UTF8&dpID=51CzJOSWijL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR107%2C160_&refRID=1Q3F3Y76HEVKVT3ER83G], Durarara, Accel World.


For your brother saying he read the previous lsited items already, I think he could appreciate Baccano and Rising of the shield hero. The shield hero fan translation is the webnovel, and there is a bit of diversion, and the light novel version is better edited, in my opinion.
Baccano had the first novel somewhat translated, but that did not continue (to my knowledge).

So ask him about these new titles, and the 2 I mentioned again. But remember if you choose one, triple check its the light novel version.
