T-this explains everything. Thanks.
Also if they saw Alice break the taboo index, how did they overlook Quinella's rising in status? Wonder if they let that slide on purpose. This advance in AI but in the wrong direction, as Quinella became bad, could have effects like in terminator. If the AI based on humans has flaws like this then the problem is serious. Kirito is in big trouble. Quinella has 200+ years of wisdom and experience, not mentioning she is literally a goddess in Uw. Kirito has Cardinal but even that looks weak. Not to mention the impending goblin invasion.

Hey! New SAO fan here.
I have a question to ask. I read the WEB novel summary here a few days ago -before making this account- and I'm wondering, do you think Kawahara is going to make Alice as aggressive in the LN? And when I say aggressive, I mean aggressive as in fighting for a relationship with Kirito. I'm a huge Kirito x Asuna fan and it annoys me whenever another girl joins the "already big and packed" harem. Even though Alice is most definitely going to join the harem in the LN, I just hope Kawahara will make her more understanding of Kirito and Asuna's relationship + not try to fight her way through. Kinda like how he made the other girls in Kirito's harem, but then again, she's a robot so I highly doubt she'll be "understanding" in the LN. |

And not to start any debates on this, but I personally feel that this actually positively demonstrates AIs are still human. Man in history has been quite a basterd to his fellows in the past on numerous occasions when he succumbed to some of the more basic desires, such as greed for power and control over others. There's an an explanation for why Alicization turned out like this anyway, and it's as follows: Spoiler for Why:

Edit: Correcting the bolded line; Fluctlights are the digitization of a human soul, so it's more accurate to say that Alice in her robot is a human soul in a robot body. They're exactly like humans in this fundamental way. |

I'm still trying to understand the Alicization arc as a whole. It's rather confusing compared to the other arcs; mostly because of how long it is. Do you think there's a possibility of Alice jumping into the #1 spot? There's always this talk about how Asuna will never be replaceable in Kirito's heart, but I beg to differ. As a fan, I always feel nervous for Asuna even more so than she is for herself. Call me ridiculous, but this is what shipping does to you. |

There's a small but significant probability. All the younger women: Suguha, Silica, Lisbeth, and many, many many more got flags but didn't get much further, while Alice has gone all the way to even assuming herself to be Kirito's wife. If there's ever a sequel to Alicization, Alice could overtake Asuna...
...assuming Kirito and Asuna are actually retconned from the official OTP, which itself is unlikely. |

Maybe it's because I didn't take my time reading the LN; finished in it a matter of a few days. This would probably explain why I'm kind of lost when it comes to the Alicization arc. |

I'm still new to SAO, so I'm not completely aware of interviews and whatnot. ^^ Do you have the link to the character interviews? I would love to read it! |

All of Tap's SAO entries are grouped here. Scroll down to 'Popularity Contest Q&A.'
As for the Kirito section, I quote thus: Quote:

@ 'Hint': I dunno, maybe a sign Kawahara's throwing WEB version to the curb and from here on the 'railroading' of the old version is going to be gone? /WMG
@ 'The Day After': *sniff* Beautiful. Spoiler for WEB Alicization connection:
