SAO is good.

It's just as good as Desu Machi, ATG, Fifty Shades, IRAS, and any given Toika novel. No real substance but fun to read.
"Good" isn't only strength of plot, character development, or literary mastery. "Good" can be how enjoyable they are. War and Peace is said to be a literary masterpiece, but could you honestly say that you weren't bored reading the unabridged translation? A Song of Ice and Fire is a modern classic, but I hated reading half of Martin's characters. IRAS may just be the same plot over and over again, but who hates the faceslap moments? SAO may have a harem devoid of personality, a plot full of holes, and a large following of haters, but it was fun to read. "Suspension of Disbelief" is a literary device needed to enjoy some classics like Frankenstein. You are supposed to accept that the monster finds clothing that just happens to be a perfect fit to his large frame on the road. There are novels where you shouldn't think "this makes no sense," but instead enjoy it.



And that brings us to the novel I'll recommend you all, Shoujo Grand Summoning. It's a fairly simple Chinese system isekai with the catch at the MC can summon girls (shoujo) from anime worlds and go to anime worlds. Fun action scenes and some helpings of smut. It might not be a Death Note, but it'll kill time in a way that you'll like.

 

The overall story was well crafted. It was logical, consistent, and flowed quite well. My only issue was the MC. He... made sense, in a way, but he was boring. I just couldn't bring myself to like him.

Come to American Faux and read translation about stories with enjoyable protagonists~

 

It was what got me into anime originally so I'd say it did its job.

 

Oh, there are many people who heavily disagree with you there. I liked it, but I do have to admit that there were parts that were neither logical, consistent, nor flowed quite well.

 

Yeah it's good for beginners

 

For people to disagree with me means that I have an opinion of my own. It's something I was able to come up with after experiencing and contemplating a certain situation. To be disagreed with is be myself~

That's why you should all come to American Faux and read stories with fun protagonists~

 

Shoujo Grand Summoning......This is a novel when my mindset about "Dropping Any Kind of CN "Fan"fiction novel" wasn't that strong yet, and I was curious.....but I dropped on the very 1st arc with the MC going on Hayate's world....As a fan of Hayate no Gotoku, I freaking despised the SI MC for just Openly despised Hayate and making him looking bad, while he's acting with a freaking Xianxia MC's personality....Yeah, that novel was the trigger for my mindset.

In a different note, I don't hate SAO, and also enjoy it. I'm waiting till Oct for Alicization 2nd cour.

 

East of Eden? A Tale of Two Cities? Romeo and Juliet? Scarlet Pimpernel?
What about those?

I haven't been active for the past couple years.

 

what do you mean years?? Nuf isn't even four

 

Couple as in two. More like 1.7 years, but close enough.

 

Nah

 

You gotta have more characters to farm nuffies! I think it's something like two-hundred-fifty. Something as long as this post.

 

I thought it was about 50 characters?? Well, short post can also help you farm nuffies, just less of them. Like five. Still there is a minimum required for that too.

 

50 sounds more correct, actually. And short posts give nothing; you get 5 nuffies from posting in the more "fun" sections of the forum

This?

 

so that's how that worked. BTW, lys-chan, did you know??

 

Shit was wack to me so cant relate

 

I thought SAO as one of the best light novels in here. The only thing I don't like are those clingy girls, seriously only one girl is enough for him.
