>gets trapped in a death game at 14, thousands die while he blames himself for every single one>joins a guild to feel human again, they all get slaughtered because of him>a girl he trusted dies in his arms and her last words never leave him>goes home and finds out his own cousin loved him, he never noticed and blames himself for breaking her heart>every new world he enters drags more people into hell, he carries their guilt too>the brother he swore to protect dies in front of him>spends months as a braindead vegetable suffering in silence, while everyone moves on>wakes up only to find another war waiting for himafter all that, they still call him a mary sue
>>282356194>literally everything is about him and his feelings and everyone else just exists to be catalysts for his next emotional scene. other characters only exist to be sacrificed upon the altar of his angst as the only thing in the entire plot and setting the author actually cares aboutyup. mary sue
>>282356394everything about him? yeah, if everything means watching friends die, losing everyone you trust, carrying their guilt, being braindead for months, and walking straight into another war while still surviving. mary sue my ass. by this logic, every protagonist is a marry sue
>>282356394Retard or bait>>282356194Based effort postKirito is pretty fun in the LNs
>>282356394Mary Sue fucking dies in the original fanfic and everyone weeps that such a perfect angel was stolen from the universe. Newfags don't even know about a Trekkie's Tale or what it was mocking. Mary Sues have bad things happen to them. It's just presented in such a self-serving way that is always both not the protagonist's fault and the world bends to make it better for them. Like you said, the world revolves around Kirito. Any tragedy must be related back to him, not for bad but to prove how good he is. All the girls love him, only the assholes hate him. Even this thread exists to show what an amazing guy Kirito is because his parade gets rained on occasionally.
>>282356716Ok but nothing you said about Mary Sue's applies to kirito
>>282356985This. Mfs will call literally anyone mary sue, but won't explain what makes them one other than saying some random ass shit that doesn't make any sense.
testing if we can still post pics
>>282357350>picreltakes me back t-t
>>282356716>It's just presented in such a self-serving way that is always both not the protagonist's fault and the world bends to make it better for them.The death of his first guild was 100% the result of his own character flaw, and the story presents it so. This crippled him mentally and influenced his behavior of the rest of his life.
>now "people" have nostalgia for SAO
>>282357635i remember how i used to talk about sao during my teenage years on some random fb anime groups. it's nostalgic for me
>>282357709Well i'm not gonna lie, I like the first part but everything else was crap, also 16.5 was hot.
for me its Lisbeth
>>282358166Who?
>>282356194>Defending SAO in big ol' 2025You are about a decade late for this bro, maybe move on to another less dead topic
>>282358596i'm just appreciating my fav anime. you got a problem with that?
>>282358166based lisbethanon
>>282357635>now>he doesn't remember ln threads for SAO>he doesn't remember 1st season hype threadsI bet that you weren't even born when it happened.
>>282356394/thread
>>282359325>agreeing with retardyup. you're a retard too
caliburn and mother rosario were the best arcs
>>282359301>I bet that you weren't even born when it happened.I wish this were true, because being older and being here for decades doesn't make me proud.
