I didn't know this was D&D's Dittoheads thread.

I wonder how weird it would be to hear Rush Limbaugh shill for a LN series.

Magic users aren't oppressed, the bad guys just trick people into thinking that the magicians are elitist. Which works in a meta way, too.

I'm still not sure this isn't the D&D Dittoheads thread.

And I like that you like it!

Your posts are leagues more entertaining than the actual series.

Dig the random quote marks. I'm sure it was popular for "entertainment", narration.

Followed by an infodump on ankles and how scandalous they are in this grim future.

Honestly it's a rough tossup between creepy fanservice shows and shows that pander to right wing otakus with terrible nationalist stuff

SAO is prettymuch the proto-this. Author masturbatory god-man main character, incest, etc.

And yet Kirito actually suffers if I remember the spoilers rightly. He can't save his original crew, he suffers gender dysphoria in the FPS game, and by the later novels he's been in and out of virtual worlds so much his sense of reality is breaking and he's the one that has to be saved by the friends he's made so far.

Tatsuya will feel kind of miffed by something that happens at worst/best.

One of the Best Light Novels Ever

shonen/Tech Savy/Strategic Tropes.

"Strategic tropes" in this context just makes me think of that one Left Behind videogame.

Also, (H)Romance? The denial goes only so far, it seems.
