@Sakumai-cawk if all you're looking at is the amount of edge
sure, he's got the whole clad in black
MC is much more of a simp than edgelord kirito
-he's also somewhat more personable
and Roxy hasnt been relegated to role of sex object though she's got damsel in distress part down
@kizuro engaging how?
-excessive romance didn't ruin SAO
poorly written romance, with virtually 0 development, and character writing (writing in general) ruined it
nearly all women are treated like bland sex objects that just need to be rescued by big daddy kirito
how often did Kirito and Asuna interact? a good portion of those episodes before they hit it off, if there werent time skips, Kirito was either fondling Asuna "by accident" or meeting the other harem club rejects
-kirito and asuna had sex without even knowing eachothers ages... Kirito also made Asuna orgasm like 4 times :) b/c he's that insane in bed, but you wouldnt have the pleasure of knowing this unless you read the light novels
Deus Ex Machina Yui is just bullshit and continues to plague the story
plot armor.. while we are on this subject thanks to Yui.. Kirito hacked the game?
Asuna hacked the paralyzing drug as well (though there was a little bit of set up)
a bad antagonist that doesn't know his own purpose and is glorified despite committing mass murder
2 rapists back to back on of whom just being a straight up pedophile
i heard there was a girl with cancer who was an actual good character but i dropped gungale halfway in
2 more rapists
a FEMALE rapist cuz #diversity
one real THIRSTY midget who pretty much turned straight to rape after simping didn't work out for him cuz #diversity
then another male rapist with a little bit of depth (and hell i feel like im missing at least 1 rapist)
its incredibly repetitive
SAO fails b/c Reki Kawahara understands his fans and made SAO to pander to them rather than develop a decent story
Klein is my favorite character but i know the fans like kirito so i'm going to continue to elevate Kirito
i can't help but make female characters fall in love with kirito...
and Reki Kawahara was right by abandoning everything and pandering to the toxic fans who wanted to elevate edgy badass Kirito (ohh the Jesus memes) he achieved massive success
SAO was top anime (in part b/c of dot Hack Links ending) top light novel till the hype died down and the fanboys stopped sending death threats to critics and started playing victim
SAO Abridged fixes a lot of these issues though

You are probably thinking of the web novel. From what I know these events are present in the LN.

This seems to get better than before and I think the past was used to be civilization with advanced technology.
Idk i hope someone can spoil me about the past.

@Cerberusyuri I like the first part of the anime (didn't read the LN at all), even forcing myself to watch the Gun Online thingy just because I wanna see if they would reduce it to some degree and Sinon design was pleasing for my eyes (and her being lewded in Nh). Nope, after Gun I totally lost interest in every series with "Kirito" name on it.
@MolaCola What I mean engaging is the first plot, where people got stuck in the game and trying to survive, where depression, suicide, and homicide are all at time high because people are whinny sissy bitch most of the time. Then Asuna happen, for that I read a lot of NTR stories of her. And yeah, the villain personality was shitte as it does in real life human but the way the author show their "vilainny" was pretty much sub standard my reaction to it was meh. The only decent villain was Kayaba (the one who make the SAO, kinda forgot his name) and that because he got lil to no show time and forgot his real "villain" reason. Kudos for him screwing everyone's life and forget the reason in doing so.
I agree on SAO Abridged being the Best SAO version there is.

from what i've heard, the core girl is basically equal to Nail from DBZA

@Disguised22 I don't really see any problem. It looks like he passed out during the fall or on impact, with a fairly typical transition panelling thing just before he "dreamed" about that chimera core girl, which involved more falling. Probably more than a dream really, but obviously hasn't been explained yet. But considering who he was talking to when it happened, I'd wager those are other monsters and people he's absorbed via gluttony, she was trying to communicate with him separately from them but it didn't go super smoothly. Then he wakes up in that underground space.

not really...? Of the ones in the manga so far, it's either been mindless beasts or malicious holy knights. You might also lump in the people from his old home. This story tends to have his relationship with human antagonists to be more
pitiable. It tends to be that he grows so far past them that he pities rather than resents them. Further, his poor treatment ends up being rooted in them lashing out from their own problems. It was desperation to escape the ills of poverty by punching down for the villagers and for the knight siblings
the younger two were following the lead of the eldest who had a big hangup from his dad overlooking him for succession and killing his mother I think?
