@bushwhacker2k unfortunately all those tropes or cliches whatever you call them are the cash cows of the industry for whatever reason. I read that Kenja no Mago's LN and manga sold over 3 million copies. For something as unoriginal and imo uncreative as that to sell so well you can't blame the authors, production companies, or publishers anymore. Their is literally no incentive to be innovative or take risks cause the market has already given you a fool proof cheat code. Maybe we will reach a point where stuff like you mentioned gets so oversaturated in Japan that things change but guess what, as I type this a new SAO installment has been given the green light. As an individual i guess you can always choose to boycott and vote with your feet as they say but even if you choose to be turn your nose up to it you either stick to fringe/niche stuff which imo you might as well stop enjoying manga/anime as a whole. Sadly for us in outside Japan we are at the mercy of our Japanese otaku overlords...
