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.

One of the problem at the beginning of SAO was the immediate next episode "I'm OP already because of timeskip and beta testing the game."

The writer of SAO set the grim tone and promise the audience they would be watching him trying his hardest to survive in a death game, if you watched SAO you know it didn't go like you expected it would.

As long as you have a brain, I think you can. Nya

HEY! I may be a furry, but even I don't love scat! ...Most times.

I almost wrote "still a better lovestory than Twilight" but it's SAO, so I had to stop myself. One of the few examples where I can't use that meme...

Anywhat, even a chimp can write a better SAO

maybe if I can write a better Kirito or maybe even a better Asuna but write a better SAO worth it? I do not think so

Idk what's all the hate. I've read SAO and it's entertaining enough to be something among the others and it's something that i can remember. Different from oh so many other things that I've read.
Especially on Kirito's character. What you even expected when a kid gets stuck on a death game?

Maybe your writing has been better, but what you described is just transforming everyone on a more tragic character.
I'm glad that you're sorry.

I don't know what SAO you watched/read, cause that doesn't sound like the same thing.

There's a scene where Kirito was criticized by a background character for acting as if he's having a picnic when everybody was depressed, killing themselves, praying to god to end their nightmare. And that cabin scene too, that not what you do in a death game.

Anything with Raiden Shogun in it will immediately be better than everything else in my eyes. Even if she only shows up once.
