Sao combined the Chad every teen wants to be with videogame mechanics. It's easier and more realistic for a teen to self insert into a guy that shines because muh vidya knowledge than a loser that suddently is the shit fighting zombies or that has an instant harem without any real explanation.
Basically, any teen or neet can see himself becoming Kirito if they were also isekaied into a videogame world.

Never because this shit is a snorefest enjoyed by few people.

Sao was so popular because Crossing Field is one of the most memorable anime openings ever made. Also I was a teenager when it released, every kid was obsessed with being a pro player and it released when all the gaming bullshit started. Sword Art online was the greatest power fantasy at the time. You would see most kids on steam with a Kirito profile picture at the time.

>>283135209
the SAO author retconned the sex scene, and went the cash-grab harem route with the beta MC instead.
it's a shame.

>>283137354
Nah, it's still canon that Kirito literally bent Asuna over every single piece of furniture in their virtual home.

jokes on you, i've read up to volume 14. i haven't read anything beyond that because its shit. anything beyond volume 9 are pure ass. the baharuth empire arc is ass. the dwarf country arc is ass, the two holy kingdom arcs are ass, the entire plot of volume 14 is ass, and i'm betting 15 and 16 are also ass too.

overlord reached its peak with the men in the kingdom arc, outside that its just really fucking repetitive and unengaging
>is this about muh stakes
not entire, but it exacerbates the main problem of overlord, in that it only has one trick, ainz does one thing, and then its a landslide of him failing to success, except there isn't even any satisfaction in that because he already starts in a strong position and couldn't go any further, and if it was a political thriller/kingdom building series then it failed at that because nazarick can just freely ignore any political ramifications because they can slap their dick around and everybody would immediately kneel (and thus any political act they do is just theatre, and its not even an interesting theatre), and because it doesn't even engage in the kingdom building.

people will argue that "oh, it's about how the people are being stomped" then make them the fucking protagonists then, i don't like reading another paragraph of ainz acting retarded and then the floor guardians go "sasuga ainz-sama" because of the umpteenth misunderstanding of his words and actions. it was already stale since volume 10.

there's no fucking point to it because there is fundamentally no progress in the story. nothing fundamentally changes about nazarick, the conclusion of the story is foregone, and the execution is haphazard at best

i don't fucking get why people like neia baraja, she's the most generic fucking character in the goddamn series, and I'd rather have the men in the kingdom arc be written fully in the perspective of remedios. i don't give a shit about the blind bonefucker

mynoghra better. that's all i will say

SAO isn't isekai and you are retarded and not worth responding to.

>>283135209
For how much hate SAO got back in the day I am genuinely surprised that it ended up being popular to this day. I think a lot of people reevaluated the series and decided it wasn’t as bad as they made it out to be back in the 2010’s. Aside from the VR being extremely unrealistic I think it held up pretty well.

overlord is based

Lmao, I'm not the biggest SAO fan out there, but at least it doesn't has the abomination that is Overlord CGI.

Lol cope, SAO is aids

Why has this extremely middling anime made /a/ and youtube faggots seethe for over a decade?

>>283135209
But the isekai genre is not all that similar to SAO in any meaningful way. People just reduce SAO to "generic isekai" much like Dragon Quest gets reduced to "generic fantasy" despite having a very strong and unique identity.

>>283144602
1) Because it got pretty popular with normalfags, and helped attract a new generation to anime. /a/ and youtube ecelebs don't like their hobby being mainstream or having new people with different tastes joining.
2) Their declarations that it was shit and people who liked it had bad taste had no impact on its popularity or success. People shit talked the first season, and it still got a second. People shit talked the second season, and it still got two more seasons to conclude the original webnovel arcs. All despite their disapproval.
3) After its first season, the popularity of writing web novels and giving web novels publication deals soared, resulting in the glut if isekai slop we see today. SAO's the closest thing they can identify as the trigger for the turning point, so they blame it for all the shitty isekai.

>>283145272
SAO has a mc explore game mechanics and status screens. It narrates his progress.
A good portion of isekai have game mechanics and status screens. In Vending Machine, the machine goes "oh, I'm level 4 now. STR 4 INT 3. Gained new skill."

>>283146874
SAO is a video game...

>>283148085
Correct. All game mechanics in isekai are a homage to SAO. They wish their protags were as cool as kirito who got trapped in a game.
