Haters gonna hate. As an SAO fan myself, I can agree with the haters (most of which seem to be lowkey fans XD) that Fairy Dance arc was the worst, but ever since Alicization, Kawahara improved a lot on his writing. But if it's still too SICKENING for peeps, go watch SAO Alternative Gun Gale Online. No Kawahara, no weird stuff. Just friendships and bullets.
