Yea, I did read it and I'm inclined to agree on the tenant of sudden power ups. Not a big fan of those, to be honest since it doesn't portrai the character's struggle to get to where he is. Most of the time, said main character already had something one could call 'plot armor' or 'buttpulling' or even the 'win' button.

I feel like the complaint you had was steeming to that general direction and I agree. NOt just SAO though, many other things happened on other shows just because as I've mentioned before, min character already had the blood of a god, or a sealed demon or a deity item or was the reincarnation of something that inevitably gives them the ultimate edge against others. The idea that to be legitimately powerful you ha to have a diving thing is not one I love so much, mostly because it automaticaly makes the rest of the cast useless in the main threat. Naruto being the biggest culprit in this particualr point I'm trying to make. Son of the fourth as well as reincarnation of a son of a deity, thaught by a legend with a mother of a op clan as well as getting godhood status from said deity. Honestly, I woyld have been surprised had he and sasuke black sue lost the big battle.
