Hating Kirito is like hating a Japanese office drone whose name you don't know-- he hasn't done anything worth love, but he hasn't done anything worth scorn, either.Kirito from Sword Art Online.
I whole-heartedly disagree. He's the reason for all the bland Japshit MCs running around.Hating Kirito is like hating a Japanese office drone whose name you don't know-- he hasn't done anything worth love, but he hasn't done anything worth scorn, either.

Like a pro-gaming saltine cracker surrounded by other saltine crackers... because your brother doesn't know how to put a box away or clean up his messes.
I whole-heartedly disagree with your whole-hearted disagreement. Those were going to be made-- and were in fact being made prolifically-- well before SAO was a twinkle in Kawahara's eye.I whole-heartedly disagree. He's the reason for all the bland Japshit MCs running around.

SAO was probably the watershed for isekai genre and the "trapped in my favorite MMO" subgenre as well as the contamination of pure isekai with wholly superfluous MMO elements but "bland" protagonists and audience inserts are much older and were hardly uncommon.Yet SAO is when that shit became the norm, instead of the crap few people noticed.
