Sword Art Online

• Let's start with the fact that SAO as a game does not make sense from the very beginning. An international hit, the progenitor of the whole VR-MMO, which sells 10,000 copies on the day of release. It sounds like a complete sales flap. For comparison - WoW competed in 2004 with a budget of 63 million dollars. To balance such a budget with 10,000 players, the price of the copy would have to be $ 6,300, while one can assume that such a advanced project like SAO should absorb hundreds of millions of dollars. With more recent examples, GTA V generated $ 800 million in revenue on the first day, selling 11 million copies.

• SAO's game interface looks so that in every traditional MMO player would die, looking for the right thing in the inventory. Not to mention the fact that other players are able to manipulate someone else's interface windows, if only someone used them and did not close them.
  We learn that in the game you can not get yourself out of the paralysis. Apparently, Asuna stated that her principle is not binding. [S01E14]

• Boy, who is 17 years old, who, as we learn from the series, most of the time devoted to games can hack the source code of the game. [S01E12]

• If our beloved protagonist is able to hack the game code to add a new item to it, why can't he activate the line responsible for secure logout from the server in the existing code? [S01E12]

• The existence of Yui. From the fantasy world point of view - it's cool, it makes sense and the character is great. However, from the point of the MMO game - nonsense and cliché. In the game there is no embodiment of the server, it is impossible to do for a simple reason, I will explain it on the example: the buyer can not be his client.

• Disproportion of characters in the SAO. In fact, all dungeons could go through Kirito with Asuna. Only these two characters are characterized by some skills. The rest is either part of the harem or an element of the miserably written background.

• Asuna - how to create a new character poorly. Asuna could be a really interesting character, independent, in some places uncouth. From a strongly harsh and resolute character, the author decided to make a home kure out of it.

• In this arc, we get three girlish characters, two of which do not stand out. In fact, if you cut them out of the series, nothing would change.

ALfheim Online

• ALO is SAO’s copy. The only difference is in the characters. Which personality is still shallow and their lack would change nothing.

• Yui in ALO. I'm sorry, what? Not only that her rescue is very far-fetched, moving her to another game is even more ridiculous. You could say that ALO is sitting on the SAO’s Cardinal, but that still is not a sensible explanation of why she can be there.

• Another arc, another girl to the harem. In total, we already have 4. Yes, we are talking about Sugu, who magically states that he loves his half-brother.

• Tentacle.

• Hacking in the first arc? No problem, Kirito decide by his will that the game code does not apply to him and he can enter the GM account. Sounds ridiculous? For me too.

• Too few fans? Too low fan service? And what did we find out, how some kind of guy wants to rape his future wife.

Why is ALO sucking less?

The characters get a little character. Not only good ones, but also bad ones. The antagonist finally has some motives! And it's not the usual "Uh, I do not know why I killed 4,000 people," and a sensible situation. The protagonist finally knows why he wants to do something! This is also a plus for the series. Mother Rosario- somehow they tried to repair the series with this arc, but you can not judge the whole series for several episodes.

Gun Gale Online

• Kirito in GGO. I understand, a nice MMO shooter, nice characters, but one thing hurts: a lightsaber. White weapons are usually short-range weapons, so we can not shoot from them at the opponent. There is a moment when Kirito cuts the bullets flying towards him. Seriously? I understand, augmented reality, but this is an elementary error. This is impossible for a simple reason, the player's delay to the server and latency between two players.

• I do not know what games did to the author, seriously ruined his life so much? In this arc, he decides to make out of recession players who have no social life.

• Death Gun, another character who could be well-created. The only thing that hurts is the surrealism of his murders.

Ordinal Scale

• At the very beginning of the film, we see Kirito's fight with the boss from Aincard. After winning the battle, he admits that he is not in good condition. Shortly after that, he fights second person on the list. The time that passed from the first boss to this fight was not given, but it can be assumed that it was time in the order of 2 weeks. Well, I'm asking if he trained for these two weeks? Well, I do not think so because, as he says, "If i want to." The film shows the stage as practicing Kendo, but it can be assumed that it is 3 days before the concert.
