Codified a solid three quarters of the low-effort trash isekai/harem anime tropes that have been getting used for the last 10-15 years. If I gotta see one more “wife-guy” type pseudoharem with some scrub-ass rizzless default create-a-character hit top rated, I’m throwing out my subscription services.
Oh yeah, i agree. I remember two similar animes running back then, SAO and Log Horizon and every weeb salivated for SAO and i remember i thought Log Horizon was much better.
Still it could be much worse, remember Hack Sign? Similar topic, but it was THE most boring anime i ever seen, though it also had one of the best soundtracks.
What did kirito do except being terminally boring munchkin? I seen only 2 first seasons before boredom got me.

The main point isn’t what he did: he is a standard isekai protagonist, none of his wrong doings are particularly bad. The thing is SAO is a fucking bad story with bad writing and bad everything. Mother’s Basement has a playlist were he dismantles every bad aspect of SAO.

Actually you have a point. It’s more or less his incest-horny sister that turned me off the show…
