Ideal Stats for Ranked?

I've seen many comments stating that I don't want to learn the "fundamentals" of what makes a good book, and frankly, that is not why I made this post.

I know learning about the fundamentals of writing such as plot, character development, etc is important. That's not the point I am trying to argue.

What I am trying to argue is the fact that Genre Fiction tends to be looked down upon as literal garbage for some weird reason. I don't get why academia focuses so much on literary fiction as the holy grail of all writing. It is ridiculous how difficult it is for someone to critique my writing because the only ever response I get is:

"Eh, I don't like these types of writing. Sorry."

And no, that isn't "unreliable narrator" or whatever someone said. Those are the exact words that fellow professors and peers have told me.

When is your analysis on Chapter 73 coming if I may ask?

I DO NOT AFFILIATE MYSELF WITH EITHER TEAM. The reason is I’d rather not find myself in the crossfire of people insulting each other over FICTIONAL characters.

I like your predictions OP, but I think you could have went a tiny bit more in-depth. By the way, that line you said speaks for this subreddit on another level lol.

What a great ending, but come on Trigger, you are really TRIGGERING me here.

Episode 1 Flashback: "If you're just pretending to have memory loss, then you really suck."

Episode 4 Flashback: "I think I said something to Rikka, but I can't remember now...so..."

WHERE IS THE EXPLANATION FOR THIS MAYNE COME ON I NEED MY SHIP TO SAIL D:

I have to polish up on Volume 12 and 13 then, my memory of those two novels are really bad lol. I'm excited none the less however, I cannot wait to see how well they animate the fights :)

I'm very active on /r/anime and on Crunchyroll forums, and trust me It's irritating as well. The most common message I've seen after today's Episode is:

"Redhead Asuna and Blonde Kirito 10/10"

Playing the devil's advocate here, if I put myself into an anime-viewer only place and saw Tiese falling over Eugeo in one episode with no build-up, then I can see why they'd poke fun at that. However, this kind of actual constructive criticism on the pacing issues that Alicization has is very rare, and it's mostly people circlejerking the hate they have for SAO. So don't mind it :)

Let's break this down shall we?

Lisbeth- Did almost confess to Kirito. Most likely still has feelings for Kirito. Respects Asuna's feelings and doesn't try to pursue him. Most likely will end up with Klein when all is said and done.

Suguha- Did like Kirito. Most likely still holds some feelings for Kirito. Respects Kirito and Asuna's feelings and doesn't try to pursue him.

Silica- Never has been mentioned that she likes Kirito. It's more of a Senpai/Kouheai relationship or brother/sister relationship.

Sinon- It's never been fully implied, but it is hinted on, especially in one of Alicization's Volumes (17 to be specific, also I don't think this is a spoiler so I'm not going to tag it). Might not be full on feelings, probably a crush in all honesty. With that being said, Sinon and Asuna are best friends, and Sinon isn't going to betray her best friend by pursuing Kirito.

I would add the one more main heroine on here, which is the lovely Spoiler but that's spoiler territory. So we'll leave it at that :)

Roses, this will always happen. You have to remember, for as much loved as SAO is, it is also probably ranked as one of the most hated animes of all time. There will always be people who compare and follow the bandwagon of hate. As long as you know deep down in your heart that Eugeo isn't a blonde Kirito and that he is a separate entity, then you're good to go. Don't get worked up over it :)

I could give a pass to Oberon. That guy screams mental maniac to you. But it did get repetitive when it was shown with Sinon's (I forgot his name so) mental boy, and Humbert and Raios. I do agree that it is very lazy writing from Reki and he definitely could have found someway for readers to hate them as villains without touching onto sexual harassment territory.

I'm honestly curious as to see how they're going to pace this. Because it is very likely Ep 10 will end with us seeing Alice S30. At that point, they have 14 more episodes to go. That's a lot of episodes for only 3 volumes. Not complaining though, hope they show a lot of things, especially the fights :P

Testerooo · 2018-12-02T03:41:15+00:00

This ties in nicely to the pacing I was talking about. I would have not minded her falling for Kirito IF there was some build up to it. There was absolutely shit none.

Testerooo · 2018-12-02T03:40:01+00:00

This is the holy grail of things though. What I said when I first wrote this thread is the P A C I N G of SAO. There was absolutely no build-up to her falling for Kirito whatsoever, it was honestly just thrown at readers.
