     @Iffine @bowlingc I've tried watching it but it was obvious the writer never ever played an MMO is his live.

     @bowlingc Y'know I've always wondered if the praise people gave to SAO later on was actually worth it. I doubt I'd ever go back to watch it again after the rather bitter taste of trying to watch the first 2 seasons, but I did hear quite a few people thinking that later arcs have much better writing. At the very least it's nice to see Kirito get his ass handed to him in a natural way that isn't just "you need to be more edgy so you can edge-lord all over the place and win fights by default."

     @bowlingc @Iffine The SAO creator is westpilled though, I'd rather not watch the same slop but from the perspective of a westpilled Asuna.

     @Iffine This is SAO Progressive it's a retelling but through asuna point of view and fixes the story

     @bowlingc @Iffine The fact he made Asuna the main character is enough for me considering his language back then.

     @DarkMahesvara @rainignterror1080p @bowlingc I played some SAO game on the Vita and one of the girls sob story was that she was dying of AIDS.
     
     ...I was laughing my ass off. It was so forced. :kekw:

     @bowlingc @Immahnoob Funnily enough I think this alone is why SAO Alternative was such a refreshing and solid series. Take a world that has some decent fundamentals and ideas, and then remove the guy who somehow creates a singularity of rape and murder victims to surround himself with.

     @Immahnoob @Iffine the light novel released in 2012 I doubt any modern politics had any influence on asuna being the protagonist

     @bowlingc @Immahnoob Would prefer he did actually tone down the rape a bit, if anything had to be toned down. Felt like an annoying overly extreme way to make the series more dark. The laundry list of things Kirito has had to deal with in a 2 year span shouldn't need to be padded out for false depth. Like he was some OC on a fanfiction site who needed to have too much justification for harming another human, since the author doesn't want him to be bad in any way.

     @PunishedLenny3 @Iffine @bowlingc The only way Kirito can be better is if the shit that actually happened around him was more interesting and he didn't have to be the most basic bitch to solve anything.

     I just thought it was so ridiculous and obvious drama bait. ISN'T THIS SAD VIEWER?!

     @bowlingc @Iffine Bro, not even Asuna's perspective can save this even if it's not westpilled. I forgot about the stupid cancer bitch that made Kirito irrelevant until now, but that's where I stopped watching SAO related garbage.

     @supersid333 @Iffine @bowlingc Its hard to take it serious when some character get her ass handed to her by a monster and gary sue & co are all super dramatic "OH NOES WE HAVE TO SAVE HER :Miyu_Cry:" when you know their just in a game without without any stakes.
     
     In reality the party would have called her a noob and laughed at her for sucking.

     @Iffine @bowlingc Reki is good at writing stories when Kirito is not involved. Yuki is consistently a fan favorite for a reason. Alternative is okay but he's struggles to tell a story about video games without putting some threat of death pushing it forward and that story might not have needed it.
