I'll just say that I didn't really think of Kirito as a Gary Stu until the second half of the show. Even with his "help" in SAO, the story (imo) believably established that he was advantaged (personal gamer and SAO experience), but those advantages could be disadvantages. The second half tore down this credibility because of his character stats and other advantages that came from SAO. It just really didn't feel like he had to struggle much compared to the first half, and that was not helped by the awful pacing.
Now perhaps the novel is better, but the second half of the anime really let me down.
