they never publicly stated or said in any official document that sao is an isekai if it doesn't have an isekai tag that it isn't one sao is action adventure Science fiction no website or wiki has ever put the isekai tag in sao

Did i ever said the opposite ? You seems oddly obsessed with Isekai.

why would sao be similar to naruto different genres of anime

So for you, Sword Art Online is not similar to Overload because they are not Isekais despite all their similarities, but it's not like Naruto either because they are "different genres of Anime"...

So you are only half coherent... ?

The ONLY similarities are it happened in the future and people play VRMMORPG. Definitely not the fantasy nor the mc being op part.

Yeah, and they are the predominent themes in both series.
So how can they not be compared/recommended between each other ?

Both games are of Fantasy genre, and the protagonist is OP in both.
Dunno what's there to deny here.

He makes a thread and asks people if they’ve read the thread when you’ve already written a opinion because you read it in the first place. Isn’t that ironic.

what's ironic is the guy says "with OP
protagonist trapped in the game they played.." when It's not

in my opinion, Kirito traped in the game he play, ainz also traped in the game he played right before the server shut down the game does not log him out and he can't log out, so yeah he is somewhat traped (even tho we don't know how things going in his real world and his real body)

also it doesn't matter, whether is identical or not, people can compare car to an orange however they want, don't take it to seriously and just chill enjoy any show you love, ignore any negative things people say about it

Isekai type of anime released close to each other

While the other has me begging for another season soon

maybe because they suffer from similar problems?

i want to believe overlord's LN is a lot better than the show but it probably suffers (at a lesser extent, perhaps) from the same core problems...
