Review of Sword Art Online

when someone recommends SAO you hear the usual SAO first arc was good and the anime went downhill in the second arc yea it definitely got worse . but SAO was a failure from the beginning. story :3 sword art online started good in the first episode. people are trapped in a virtual game and you need to complete 100 floors to win. now you might think this a cool plot and that this story will be a long journey where our MC survive in a cold blooded game. but we get the complete opposite of that. Ep 2 time skipour MC is at level 20 and 2000 people died in boss battle and no one managed to pass the first floor. kirito (MC) defeat first floor boss and says some cringey lines that the author thought would make him look cool but ended up making him look stupid and time skip kizito joined a guild and at level 35. his guild members die then he decides to play solo. time skip MC at floor 50 .MC meets unimportant side character and guess what he is known as the black swordsman. but why? we the audience rarely saw him in a battle. how can the author expects us to take him seriously? and how did he get that strong? of course because of the time skips we didn’t get to see any character development. and another time skip kirito is with asuna . time skip two years have passed kirito at floor 74.?? the awful time skips leads to no suspense or intense scenes because we already know our MC is strong enough and nothing is gonna happen to him or to the other characters because he is always gonna show up to save the day all in all, SAO is poorly written , rushed and has no interesting events. Truly a waste of great concept

characters :1
kirito: has no personality since we didn’t get to see any character development . he is just very strong that he could defeat all his enemies and never fails. also his character design is awful. typically, from character designs you get an impression of what that character is like . the only impression I got that he is weak and very childish. his character design could have been better.

asuna: she is introduced as a strong character but we don’t get to see her strong side at all but you know what she is good at cooking .She cooks for the MC and fell in love with him when they hardly know each other . her character went downhill when they tried to made her clingy to kizito . she was ready to give up on her title as the vice commander and leave the guild just so she could party with kirito when she was literally convincing him to join her guild. this speaks volumes on her character. her relationship with kirito was cringeworthy . kirito-kun i want to protect you .. asuna your handmade sandwich is great. asuna my life is yours. Asuna please cook for me . Ausna let’s stay together. that’s literally their dialogue throughout the series .overall this anime fails to build on its characters
