Eh, I'd be happy with a straight SAO adaptation. Largely because I
really dislike the damsel in distress shtick, and consequently how it killed Asuna as a character who actually does stuff instead of mostly sitting around looking pretty. It also dealt a big blow to all of Asuna's talk of being the one who'll protect Kirito in the SAO arc.
And strictly speaking, it wasn't so much "they" as "he." (damsel in distress plot
) Asuna did a few things, but in the end (and
especially the end) she was just the trophy hanging on the wall stuck waiting for somebody to grab her first.
