In my former novel, I tried my spin on Kirito, Asuna, and Yui as expies that may seem like cardboard cutouts at first. Every reviewer I had on RR praised my take on them, and some even loved them better than the MC (though I guess most wouldn’t like a prideful, Gilgamesh-like character as an MC). But after watching Seirei Gensouki, I’m starting to realize that maybe even a scat-loving furry can write a better SAO.
What’s funny was that I merely did the bare minimum on my expies. My “Kirito” not only had his parents on Earth die but also his wife, and in the otherworld, his blood brother (a Eugeo expy, of course) kicked the bucket. My “Asuna” suffered severe childhood trauma and abuse, culminating in tranquil fury that could set at any moment. And finally, my “Yui” was pretty much the same apart from the constant crying at any misery she saw, but what do you expect from an eleven-year-old who feels the emotions of others?
Among my friends, they agreed on one thing about my expies: I made them “more human.” But that was never my intention, and I even emphasized their other zany quirks, because they were still fictional characters.
So all this begs the question: if you were a scat-loving furry, could you write a better SAO? I sincerely apologize for my pointless TedTalk.
