I’ve known about the manga for awhile but I never got around to it then I heard the anime was coming out so I waited and now I’m all caught up with all 14 episodes, the only thing I knew about this series is that people were saying “It’s Sword Art Online but different and better”, but for the manga readers can any of y’all tell me is there’s any kind of stakes or drama that goes down later on in the series, it’s fine if there isn’t I’m loving the anime so far even if it’s just simply a kid playing a game, but I just want to know if I should be expecting more to this series than just that

It’s for sure different than SAO. It’s better.
No horror writing.
It’s a fun anime. Not mediocre like SAO.
This show Is a 7.4/10 while SAO a stinky 4/10.

I would never get over how bad the writing is in that show. But it is what it is.

I doubt it, I mean he can leave the game at anytime, unless it turns out that the npc and game are alive, ( I really doubt that too though) I think it’s just a fun anime.

Pretty sure they will just be having fun playing game and no real life consequences or stakes will be to considered.
I think it is actually better than SAO, because no cringy melodrama and it taking itself way more seriously than it should. Just pure action.

No, not really. I mean its about people playing VR games. There is like a
arc that the anime wont cover, and I guess that is technically stakes cus IRL it would be for money.

@unlocked1 Its not the anime that I hate. It's the people who call it a masterpiece, the greatest anime ever, better than Mushoku Tensei or Tensura.
Its them that make me not like it.

Its a decent show. But has so many glaring writing mistakes and painful story telling, how and people love it so much is beyond me.
I mean Kirito is a meme come on. It is a 6/10 show at best. Few momemenst are 6/10. Or lower most of the time.

What do you like about SAO tell me.

@ANR23 After calling SAO trash then you compare it to Mushoku tensei, I laugh my ass. SAO is better than mushoku tensei pedophile story. Even MT fans is worst still defending the Pedophile MC.

For tensura the manga maybe good, but the anime too much talking like it was powerpoint manga panel move with a sound. then the way they speak also so slow, I had to speed it up to 1.5x playback speed. But at least second cour S3 they improve it a bit that they speak like a normal person without have to put drama each time they spoke, and skip some unnecessary dialogue.

Of course there are stakes, but it'sjust different kind of stakes than SAO has. There competive game tournament arc for example. And of course Fighting 7 colossi have some stakes as they are one of kind bosses.

It's never dead serious, but it's not like there are no goals.

@rijallconnie A very delusional and subjective take lol. MT writing is on par with many world pre-bestseller fantasy books when sao and the other 80% of LN's are just ok/well written. Its on the level above objectively from a professional side.

Well, in middle ages your ancestors were married to each other(doing kids etc) at age of 13-15 if equal and even faster (from age of 8 lol) with royalty. If u really think u will be above the world rules, above your genetics (being grown boy etc) and all than well again u are delusional. Even if i not adore the fanservice in the show with loli-shit, i cant see how it can make the story worse in writing when thats actually used in development of the characters. In 99% of the shows fanservice is just for fanservice, sao included :)

Ps ill say that i really hate 90% of "middle age" fantasy worlds where we have no real laws of this time. Just a picture book dummy disney funny tales for 6yo.
Also I do like SAO(even s2 i think is not ovjectively scored below 7.5-8 here on mal).

Shangri la is about enjoying the journy. No need for stakes outside losing in the game.

Oh boi.

SAO novel is a complete utter trash written by a person who can't decide what 2+2 should be equal to.
It took him over a decade to learn how to write and at some point his writing was passable.

SAO original story was beautiful and touching, albeit written in an unreadable manner.

SAO anime season 1 part 1 was adopted with so much love and care, merging in some later stories, it was a blessing in an ocean of stupidity back in the days.
It was directed and drawn amazingly and it was very pleasant to watch. Except a few stupid moments.

SAO anime season 1 part 2 shouldn't exist.
Kirito and his one and only waifu defeated the grand evil, saved the day and the world, and were united in death. The end.

Everything SAO that was made after that point is the laziest and stupidest cash grab.
Because people just don't have brains and keep consuming trash.


Tensei season 1 part 1 was really nice.
Lolicon aside, it's a good stuff.

Tensei season 1 part 2 was okay.
Not terrible, but starts showing lack of depth.

Tensei season 2 is a crime against humanity.
Aside just a couple of worthy moments, it's just boring and stupid.


Sankaru is just boring and stupid.
Fisrst few episodes are fine, but then it's a torture to watch.

The game has a rule that if the NPC dies they will die and be gone forever.
So maybe we will have that kind of stake and drama for our beloved NPC at some point.

Translation: "MT has a poor story because the MC is controversial"
