Hi, StormKing. You are doing a very good review on SAO the series. I love the series wholeheartedly. I don't know if you get the chance to read my comment or not but I would like to ask you about your thoughts about the story from 3rd volume onwards because some readers might think that the author is milking the story by throwing Kirito into different games but honestly I don't feel that he is milking the story at all.

@tomtkp When it comes to this topic I can see and acknowledge the point as to why people believe the series is being milked because they believe after Asuna was rescued they story should have stopped there.

In my opinion I think the series is doing quite excellent in the fact that each "chapter" in the SAO storyline introduces a new main character that broadens SAO and is not just limited to 2 overall main characters and many other secondary characters. (cont...)

[StormKing1]

@StormKing1 (cont...) For ALO we got Lyfa, for GGO we get Sinon, etc. The reason why in my opinion SAO does not get boring is that we get new characters and we learn them through Kirito in addition to seeing a whole new world again through Kirito. Now SAO is no longer limited to just being "Save Asuna". SAO has now become a journey with Kirito as he saves people and waiting as a new world of where people and technology soon become one. (cont...)

[StormKing1]

@StormKing1 (cont...) SAO is in my opinion not being milked because a milked series as a definition is one that does not introduce anything new and does the same thing all over again. With SAO, although it may not be very noticeable to others because of Kirito's action and how the story is presented; it has ever so slightly has shifted how the story and world progressed, which was originally rescuing Asuna, into something new and entirely different from before. (cont...)

[StormKing1]

@StormKing1 (cont...) I hope this shows you my opinion of the SAO series as I know where both sides are coming from in terms of whether or not it is being milked. Otherwise don't be afraid to ask me to clarify on anything.

@StormKing1 Thank you for your opinion and at the same time I am relieved that you are not one of them, I did met readers who commented that the story should have ended by the end of Volume 1 or in Volume 4 (end of ALO) because they believed that the current storyline is being deviated from the the main theme of SAO, however I believe that it's not true.
